friday 23/06

sore eyes haf nt totally recovered yet.. but no choice haf to go for fieldtrip else sat i wun be free.. so i went out with my nerdy specs.. its been so mani yrs since i haf been spotted outside with my specs.. i m so nt used to it.. felt so weird.. my frens were stunned to see mi in my specs also.. they said i looked sooo different.. they nv seen mi in specs b4, of cos they are nt used to it ah.. haha

went central summore lor.. a place tts buzzing with lots of ppl de lor.. so zzzz.. met at supposed to meet cityhall mrt ctrl at 12pm.. mi n ksl reached at 1140am.. jl reached at 1130.. we were lyk waiting for the other 2.. rui was late as usual.. this time for 20 mins.. joy even worse.. she said she had to accompany aunt to hospital so she will be super late..

went to funan it mall food junction for lunch.. ate handmade u-mian.. joy joined us after we had eaten.. so we proceeded to our 1st destination for the day.. we went to this oldest firestation in spore.. according to jl, its still in use.. but i doubt so lei.. cos i v see any fire engines and firemen ard.. anyway we took dis pic b4 crossing the road..

there is this gallery entrance at the extreme left.. the admission is free of charge! opening hrs is as shown below.. i would encourage u guys to go n tk a look if u all r free or u all happened to pass by the area.. just spare half an hr in there.. its interesting =)

there is this real fire engine on exhibit.. u can gt inside n get a feel of wt it is to be inside a fire engine! isnt tt very cool? haha.. jl is trying to get her hands on the steering wheel of the vehicle..

thats mi standing beside the familiar looking truck.. haha.. dun i look lyk the proud owner of that big vehicle? haha =P oh by th way, if u r wondering where the hell my specs went.. i took them out b4 each shot.. so i actualli had a hard time when taking pics tt day.. haha.. cos i totally duno where to look..
this is how the spore fire brigade looks lyk in the oldern days.. i thot it looks v stylo.. muahaha

the long wooden ladder can be extended all the way de wor.. seeeee.. tt fireman is climbing out of the building.. haha

if u raise ur head n look up, u will see this oval screen.. video showing the history of firefighting is being played repeatedly..

fireman wore this type of uniform in the past.. so cuteee rite? haha but den i tink this figurine here reminded mi more of policeman lei..

the tag tt this handsome is holding on reads: uniform worn by firefighters frm 1930 to 1970.. whao long long b4 i was even borned..
the shelf contains helmets and spray nozzles tt haf changes over the years.. looks lyk there werent alot of chgs throughout the years.. haha..

there is alot of wooden models of all the fire stations in spore on the 2nd floor.. i spotted the one tt says sengkang firestation.. haha.. below each model, there is a colored chart tt gives a brief description on the infrastructure..

some of the firestation has v unique shaped building.. but sengkangs is juz a very normal looking rectangular block la.. haha.. but at least it is quite new still..

den we came across this v scary thing.. its scary bcos b4 u press the blue knob, the whole glass is opaque which looks juz lyk a wall.. but when u hit the button, u will see this right in front of ur eyes.. its a scene u would see on an ambulance.. there is this handsome paramedic rescuing this victim.. we were frightened cos we din expect to see wat we saw.. haha

this is also v interesting.. when u hit the knob.. the alarm sounded, then there is this lady talking.. she said the building is on fire, asked the ppl nt to tk the lifts bla bla bla.. after she finished talking, the door of the lift opened by itself n u c a video showing us how to evacuate properly in case of an emergency..

see the hand of this poor victim being trapped under pcs of rocks? my goodness.. its bleeding summore!

there is a man trapped underneath too! this man makes moaning whimpers.. "help mi, pls help mi.." no joke ok.. tts wat the man realli said in a very soft n dying tone.. we were freaked out..

no worries.. the hero is here to save the day.. haha.. the rescue team dressed in orange will risk their lives and save the poor people trapped no matter wat.. haha so noble of them isnt it? hopefulli none forgets to buy insurance! muahaha..

these trained doggies will help to sniff for any signs of lives also.. they deserve credit for rescuing people also..

noe what tt is? its actually the 3 v impt alarm signals.. out of curiosity, i went to hit one of the knob and the alarm sounded so loudly.. so scary.. for a moment i thot the ppl in charge might juz come up n see wts gg on lor..

see this kuku here.. haha went to try on the firefighters clothings meant for kids to play.. with tt pose, do u tink she is able to save the day? haha..

okie.. with tt, we ended our tour at the civic defence heritage gallery.. a very interesting place to start off the fieldtrip.. we behaved lyk some kids who haf nv seen all those stuff b4.. played a fool inside as nt much ppl were ard.. haha

2nd stop of the day is juz a short walk away.. yeap its the spore one n oni stamp museum.. ermm actually its my 1st time there.. we nv entered the place either.. juz stayed at the "reception" area.. cos the admission for each person is $5 each juz to go in n watch stamps?! we thot tts lame n a waste of money.. tts y we juz took some pics n left..

there is this glass cabinet tt consists of some very cool n cute stuff tt caught my eye immediately when i went in.. haha.. its the model of all the different postboxes in different ctys.. it realli comes in all shapes n sizes! soooooo cuteeee.. all these could be found in different parts of hongkong..

these are found in uk.. it reads uk king george n uk queen elizabeth.. nt sure wat it means.. does it imply tt its juz exclusively for the king n queen of uk? hmmm..

haha.. the white one on the extreme right looks v familiar isnt it? yea man.. this whole row shows the postbox used in spore over the years.. juz couldnt understand y it looks lyk how it looks today.. cos i tink the red one used in the oldern days is so much nicer.. haha

frm left to right: uk queen elizabeth oval, uk king edward vii, new zealand and switzerland..

these postboxes can be found in usa.. they looked more lyk rubbish chutes dun they? haha =X

last but nt least.. they haf these v chi na looking postboxes.. yes they can be found in china.. haha thot they r quite ugly looking =X

the last stop we went to was fort canning park.. the bloody weather was damn hot tt i nearly die of heat.. haha.. definitely a wrong weather to walk ard the "forest" haha.. din bother to walk the whole ard due to the rubbish sun.. oni tk dis pic with the famous 9 pound cannon..

quickly left the park for plaza sing.. finalli in air conditioned place at last.. so damn shiok.. bought some chilling drinks to hydrate ourselves in burger king before a short discussion.. its realli quite a short one.. haha wrapped up everyting in less than half an hr.. ended up shopping there b4 we parted.. i went grandma hse aft tt..
