Total Defence Day



On the day when Total Defence was held in the school, it was the same day as Chinese New Year. In the morning, during assembly, Mrs Menon came up to the stage to deliver the Total Defence message to the whole school of students and teachers. On that day, Ms Jey and Ms Hui were not in class and mrs singh came to relieve us.

She briefed us about the points on Total Defence Day and what happened on the 15th of february. After the briefing section, she gave us five sticky notes each and instructed us to paste them on the designated boards are different places. So, we went to certain stations prepared for us and all we have to do is to watch and stick the sticky notes on the selected areas. There were a total of five items prepared for us, some were prepared by the Red Cross Youth, National Police Cadet Corps and the National Cadet Corps.

After a long walk around the school, the last station is at the canteen. My class was assigned a table to sit and have our lunch. For our lunch, we were given a packet of bread and a bottle of water each. Although it is not enough to fill our stomachs, but the people who suffered in the past when japanese fought against singapore, had lesser to eat than us. Even though the food distributed is less than I thought it would be, I eat my fill and was happy and grateful to be born in Singapore where there is sufficient food unlike other countries where children have to eat dead rats and plants for a living. On this day, I learnt that we should not waste anything that we are given and should never take things for granted.
