Today is the day of the Temasek Seminar 2005. The ACJC representatives set off from school at about 7.35am together with the SAJC batch. After arriving at the SAFTI Military Institute and Officer Cadet School (SAFTI MI & OCS), we headed to one of the auditoriums where the seminar would be held. I spotted Kegan sitting in the row in front of me and Chii Yeh on the left side of the auditorium.
The morning's programme included an address by the Guest-of-Honour, Minister for Defence, Mr. Teo Chee Hean, a talk by ex-Singapore Ambassador to the UN and now Dean of Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy at NUS, Mr. Kishore Mahbubani, the presentation of the winning entries for the Tagline Presentation (NJC won with their tagline "The Singapore Lighthouse: Light Beyond our Horizons") and a media-free forum with Mr. Teo and Mr. Mahbubani.
The end of the forum marked the end of the Temasek Seminar. After lunch, there was a tour of the OCS conducted by officer cadets from Delta Wing. ACJC's tour guide, coincidentally, was from ACJC. We were brought to places like the Initiation Hall (a rather sacred place in OCS), the SAFTI Tower (the wind up there was extremely strong) and Delta Wing's living quarters and watched demonstrations of an ambush attack, the different rifles used in the SAF and Close Combat Training. It seemed rather stressful to be at OCS...I still can't do any pull-ups anyway...
We finished the tour at 4 plus and headed back to our respective schools, me sleeping on the bus shared again by ACJC and SAJC. We arrived at the ACJC main gate just in time for me to see Raj (dance choreographer) leaving the campus; the dance audition for A Christmas Carol has ended for the day. There will probably be a second audition a few days later.
