cca orientation. boring. i really wonder just how many sec 1s they can attract this year. probably very few. the whole thing was silly. shesh.the draw against Burton was terrible. one shot on target in the whole game? while Burton had at least two? crap. the performance was crap. the players just weren't trying hard enough. i'm too sick for words.well, the much-talked-about civil defense drill took place on Sunday, and it was a commendable effort on the part of the Home Team. but what pissed me off were the reactions of some of the general public affected by the exercise. some of them were unhappy that they weren't informed earlier about the exercise, and that the exercise posed such an inconvienence to their routine that they cursed it and whoever put it there in the first place. oh PUH-leeze. so immature of them. why? did they think the terrorists would be so nice as to tell when, where and how they are going to attack, if CHOY, they do attack? and that the terrorists would also tell them how they could avoid these areas, with further information on what buses or trains to take to best minimise disruptions to their schedules? NO! its not going to happen! these exercises are there for a reason, and a GOOD one too; to prepare not just the Home Team for an emergency, but also the PUBLIC! the exercise tests just how well Singapore can cope in the event of such an attack. it will help the Home Team review and refine the processes involved in tackling terrorist attacks. surely one cannot begrudge the Government for creating this exercise then. immature thinking cannot and should not cloud the judgement of those who keep Singapore safe. just because some people will inadvertably be affected by exercises of this nature, does not mean that we will do away with them (the exercises i mean, not the immature morons). we must never lose track of the big picture, that is to safeguard the country and her people as best as we can, no matter the costs involved. yes, if we are ever involved in such an exercise, we can get annoyed, angry and curse our luck, but sit back and think, the very exercise that we may find disruptive at that moment, can and probably will save the lives of many in the event of a real terrorist attack, including those of our own, and our loved ones.
