An informative and fun survival guide to prepare the recruits of Gen-Z. No matter how many times you read (and re-read) MINDEF’s official website, how many of Jack Neo’s Ah Boys to Men movies you’ve watched (skip everything after the second one), or how many times your father tells you anecdotes that start with “back in my day”, nothing ever quite prepares you for the … Continue reading ★★★☆☆ Book Review: Fall In!
