Together on the Red Rhino.
3rd Firefighter from the left look very sat hor? Haha.
Best recruitment role model. You see the fire in his eyes?!

Me on the Red Rhino, i know you can't see exactly where i am but you gotta trust me.
I WAS ON THE RED RHINO!!! AND IT'S SUPER COOL =DDD
Very oddly, the lower half of MoleMole's face at the back, LOOKS A LOT A LOT like Silver.
I mean you check out the dimple yourself. Hor hor hor?!

This is the first thing i snap once i am inside the station.
COOL RIGHT?! I have always wanted to try sliding down! You know i am a peice of timid dung when it comes to things like that. Like when i was training as a flight attendant, we had to slide down this super long slide, it's just sliding, but i almost killed myself. BUT THIS POLE!!! I wanted to try so much. But due to safety reasons, only the trained firefighter can demo =(((

A mini tour on the civil defence ambulance.

This lady here looks like any other lady UNTIL..

The buzzer went off and there was a REAL emergency call *gasps* She totally switch personalities okay. Before she was this totally fun and interactive lady telling us about the apparatus and purpose of certain items etc.

*buzzer goes off*
*Pooof!*

She's just very serious and does things quick like zoom zoom quick. Like her face and actions just shows it all "I KNOW WHAT I AM DOING AND I AM NOT JOKING, I GOTTA GO HELP SOMEBODY NOW". Serious! She's my heroine in this trip =DDD

Some pictures of another ambulance going off to the call.

So then we were brought around to have a better understanding of the equipment and the vehicles used in firefighting.

I am super kaypo, keep trying to find out how much weight the firefighters have to manage in a mission. And at the same time, find out if i am fit enough to be one. Lol..

4302960414_15305df3ba_b
Little boy also very ambitious. Haha.

4302962340_5324aabae0_b
Okay what do you think? Do you think i am cut out to be a firefighter?
Eh this one is super heavy can! But i don't look like i have trouble holding it right! =D

Their war suits.

Thou they might not be knights in shiny armour but sure they are as equally brave as any heroes.
But for sure again, they are not in shiny armour, i mean, their protective suit gets really black and charred after a rescue you know.

Don't believe see for yourself what the public caught on video, happen to be squad from the Central Fire Station.

Fire at Moonstone lane shophouse

Fire at Jalan Rajah apartment block

Side note, i CANNOT stand it when the maid trapped inside the Jalan Rajah flat started screaming for help. Not all people can stay calm when you know that you are the only lifeline to somebody else, and it is only a matter of minutes or even seconds, before the lifeline disconnects.

But he is.. He is a firefighter.
Andy was kind enough to bring us around even having just fought a fire hours before.
Wooo.. That's literally hot.


4302167583_56c103bbdc_b
Okay, this is MY kind of hero =)))))
Haha. Shut up and read on.

4302919562_1ef6edc0ba_b
I only took the first picture out of this three of Andy okay. So don't accuse me.
Ask MoleMole =X

Ahem. Moving on. I had a chance to play with this power spray!!! SUPER FUN OKAY!!!

4302174043_829b57efc3_b
Abit scared at first..

4302176943_da2388dae9_b

4302928312_f306357a6e_b
Woh woh!!

4302179849_0d7f378f60_b
WAH! Lol..

4302930416_ba3296ee9b_b
"Eh come try!!! Super funnnnnnnn~!!!"

Lol. I was REALLY thrilled. Haha.. Don't know why. Super love water rush.

Then there's the pole-sliding demo.

A picture with the fully geared-up firefighter.

He looks heavy already, imagine having to dash through fire and obstacles in this outfit.
IMPOSSIBLE for me.

I'd be like,

In-Charge: QiuQiu, RUN THROUGH and get the victim out!

QiuQiu: HUH?! Me?! No lah, cannot, i just treatment my hair yesterday. $70 leh. Smells like raspberry still. Not ready to char-grill it, sir. Sorry.

In-Charge: It's life and death matter here! This is an order!

QiuQiu: Okay, if i told you i paid $90 for my acrylic nails leh? Would you consider asking somebody else?

In-Charge: YOU ARE FIRED!!!

Lol.. You know what, i give up even thinking there might be a slight chance i can be a firefighter and be somebody's heroine someday. I'd just blog and urge people with courage and big hearts to want to help and save people, to join the firefighting team in Singapore.

Hmm.. Firefighter sounds so much better to me than Fireman. Fireman sounds like Postman, the Meepok man, the fishball noodle uncle.
