This was my very first time to AOH @ Pasir Laba Camp. As we went there during mid-noon, we did not manage to explore and capture every corner and every space of the exhibit. As time was not by our side, we could only head for the selective "Worlds".

Looking at this big event, I was wondering back then, how messy I could get into if I were to organise this massive event. From the start of preparing and getting ready, to the end of "popping" and toasting champagne for the great success of the event, it was a long journey. Wow, it was not easy all. I could feel how difficult it was to plan for this gigantic project on AOH.

Some commendable feedback

Well Organised and Guided
Was well-guided upon entering the gate. Friendly staff at the reception table gave a brief overview of AOH and direction on where we could collect our souveniors at the Information Counter.

Good at manning the crowd as there students in NCC uniform, students in school uniform, civilians like us and also Servicemen as well.

Map was given. Signages were put up at almost every corner to guide the public around Pasir Laba Camp.

Good Customer Service
Staff like NSFs, Regulars or DXOs were friendly and approachable whenever we were asking for directions or having queries.

Initiated to help us with the locking and adjustment of the safety seat-belts and took photographs for us when we boarded Light Strike. Driver was friendly and entertaining despite the countless trips that he had on that day.

Well Prepared in Speeches
Staff was well-prepared in their speeches. For instance, staff at various stations (at Mission World) was able to explain the background and overview of roles and responsibilities of personnel who were stationed overseas. With these, I managed to gain some insightful knowledge and understanding.

Great Exhibit
Glamorous exhibit of the vehicles, machines and other high technological equipment at the Combat World.

Spacious with enough walk-ways between each vehicle. There was an adequate number of Marshalls stationing at each vehicle to look out for Safety and Security.

Other comments:
The waiting area for buses to Interchange was not conducive enough. Poor ventilation with a lack of seats and rubbish bin. As the crowd gathered at the waiting area, it became a little chaotic. Everyone just scurried off (in a mess) towards the exit when we were given signal to leave the place.
