The Lion's Trail

Went for the Lion's Trail aka National Education outing. It was quite interesting, first stop was to the NEWater plant to take a look at how our own piss can be converted to pure drinking water where it goes through ultrafiltration to remove any impurities and organisms then another process called reverse osmosis to filter out all the virus and harmful bacteria. Finally the water is then passed through Ultraviolet rays as a safety precaution to kill any remaining virus or bacteria. The result? Ultra pure recycled water. After that went to the Changi Chapel where they show all our Singapore's history during the WW2. The last stop was at the "Johor Battery" which was a HUGE gigantic cannon which was used in WW2 to keep enemy ships away. Apparently it was useless as the Japanese forces attacked by land.
Got my posting today, got into the service sector instead of combat. Guess what I got? Too bad no SISPEC.
