Northstar V

Caught the late bulletin just now to see how Ex Northstar V was being conducted. Generally, i am very impressed despite being a mock exercise. There were bombs that went off at the same time on different location. Our various agencies are quick to react. On tv, it looks dramatic as though some terrorist attack did take place.

However, i am more curious abt the evaluation of the exercise. I mean after all this is a mock up, in the event of a real attack, are Singaporeans ready? Well, the govt has always reminded us to stay vigilant. I strongly believe our agenices are ready at any point in time. The exercise serves as a test.

The scenario will be more chaotic than wat happened in the exercise today. There will be children, pregnant ladies, babies etc. Of course, no one can create an exact scenario. Singaporeans need to be alert and know wat to do. Some pple complain abt inconvenience. But i wonder if our life are more valuable than being late for work? I am sure companies will be kind enought to accept "can be excused" reason.

It has been raining the whole day. When i came back from Dbl O last nite, it was already drizzling. By early morning, the intensity just increased. Cool Sunday. Headed to the gym for some cardio exercises. Saw a male celeb with his "partners in crime". Haiz... I wonder if gals have lost their attractiveness or guys prefer to be hug by guys?

Wat in the world has come to? There are so many unanswered questions. I reminded myself to stay simple and keep out of others' affairs whenever possible. Well well... If there are experts who are able to provide SATISFYING solution, do let me know!
