SCDF Central Fire Station Visit!

Sponsored Advertorial




So here is it! My first time visit to Fire Station!

Kinda pretty excited about it when I was told about visiting it cause I've never been there before in my life! But still, at the same time, feeling alittle grumpy about how early I've to wake up and reach that day! Hahahaha!

(Oh anyway! The first 2 related SCDF entries are here & here.)

But the experience was really good and make the 'have-to-wake-up-early-during-weekends-when-I-can-finally-sleep-late' all worth it!




Fire-fighters are there to bring you around!
They have all their fire fighters stationed around the fire station during their open house (click to know the details) every week, to guide anyone and everyone who is visiting the fire station!




Explaining to us the compartments & equipment in the fire engine!
And from there you'll get to know more about what the fire-fighters do, their roles and almost everything you want/need to know about SCDF!

You even get to try out all their equipments too!!!




Me looking at their equipment!




Tourists wanting to try how high can the pump ladder extend!




Really really mad high! :/




And we also went to try it out too!! Fun!!!




The controlling unit!




Trying to use the water gun!




Prettyyyyy!




Trying another water equipment! Spraying out water from the hose!

Basically, You can really get to try almost everything there!

Seriously quite fun!! Like putting on their suit, compressed air tank, sit inside the fire engine, etc. Like quite a chance to do that lor!

Cause you don't everyday get to touch all these equipments usually what!




Them demonstrating to us how they slide down using the sliding pole!




Another guy! They do it whenever they're being activated!

How cooooooooooooool is that!!!!!!

And if you all would like to try what I've tried above, or see them in action, do visit their open house every Saturday! Go experience it yourself!

Don't think you'll ever regret it! :)


p/s: Also, Click here if you would like to know more about the SCDF's recruitment and join them in action as a career!!


-o-"

Sorry, I've to do this.

Note: Seriously this post might make you feel and think that I'm arrogant or ego much but whatever, don't read if I might disgust you! :)


Recently, I'm again feeling very annoyed that my Facebook page is flooded by some shitty people, whom I don't even know!!




Si mi sai is THUG LIFE?!!

And I went to Google it and here's the result:

"A word Evolved by the late Tupac Shakur. Commonly mistaken for a Criminal. Thug Life is the opposite of someone having all he needs to succeed. Thug life is when you have nothing, and succeed, when you have overcome all obstacles to reach your aim."

Okay, you don't have to read (above) cause nobody cares!!


It has become mad irritating whenever people in Facebook flood your page with rubbish like that or advertise their clubbing tickets/blogshops/etc. when they are not suppose to and especially on my page!!

Or if not, those cheena Facebook applications:




Which also floods my page!!!!

AND.

All these is cause by none other than ME! It's all my fault!

From the start, I'll just accept almost everyone that added me on Facebook (as I thought it'll be mean if you people added me and I did not accept them), and now it's starting to bother me much!

Cause my page is getting flood, getting tag on pictures which are ridiculous (some animal or shit), and have all my comments/conversation with my friends appearing on your Top news on the feed is really not I wanted.

Of course, I'm not saying that all of you did that!

But the very few is enough to kill!


Facebook serves as a reconnection with your old friends or you can catch up with your friends through there but now, some of my friends don't even dare to talk to me there! Or even tag me in our photos!

I need some privacy and thus I've decided to....


Filter my Facebook friends list!

Actually, I don't really wanna do that at first cause I love how you people interact with me on Facebook at times, where you leave comments or 'like' my post and after filtering all, I might not be able to see that anymore!

But something came to my email, and I thought.. OKAY!

I can finally filter my friend's list and you people will also be able to interact with me still and add me on Facebook! Yay!!

So you all can add me over here instead:


http://www.facebook.com/pages/Typicalben/105712426129524

Though, I don't really expect the thousands over people I've removed, to add me over there but if you want, then just add. If not then SUA!


But I'm excited to say that...

Next time the 'Chatting via chatbox with you all' which always happen suddenly can be held over there and maybe future events (I've receive a email suggesting for a gathering) can be planned over there too!

Think there'll be more interaction there for all of us, rather than on my personal Facebook, so this must be pretty awesome!

I hope you all understand my intention of doing so yah?

Okay, time for me to filter the contacts! Bye! :)



p/s: Another reason of doing so is cause, whenever people ask me why you got so many friends on Facebook, I don't know what to reply. Cause not all are and when I say most are my readers, they are like "REALLY MEAH?".


p/p/s: Or people having the thought that I anyhow randomly add people, which I HAD NEVER EVER DONE IT IN MY LIFE BEFORE! And worse is there are cases where people pretend and talk to me as if they are my real life friends and giving false impression to their friends or strangers. WTF!


p/p/p/s: Anyway, thanks Isabelle (or whoever) for that. Maybe my ranting on Twitter do works! Hahahaha! Awesome!

My not-so-typical, 21st birthday celeb!

Yay! I'm finally done with the birthday party pictures!!! :D

I know I've been taking way too long but, to receive the pictures from the photographer need to take some time and I also need time to edit them what!! And god knows why I'm like so busy recently!

My life is mad hectic and packed like now!!

Everyday, there will be programme lined up for me and stuff for me to do! Mad siao lor!!! (Bah! Shall talk about this another time lah hor!)


Okay. So anyway, back to my birthday celebration!


At first, I had the thought that 'my party is not gonna make it and will not succeed' because I totally got no much time to plan and organize it cause out of a week, I'm in camp for like 5 days!!

And I only started planning at the beginning of January!!!!

You tell me how to plan?! Zzzzz...


So I did tweet about it and some of your guys actually email me about helping me or have already found planners to help me plan my birthday party for me (thanks all lovely)!

But it's like... my 21st party so I wanna get involve in it!


So after the list came out, of the various places that wanted to sponsor me their venue for my birthday party, I chosen Artery.

I wanted Homeclub or Hotel Re (the one I went to for Christmas countdown) at first too but Homeclub wasn't able to provide me their full venue cause it's held on Saturday, and they only can give me half of it which I don't want and Hotel Re is like too isolated and not really accessible.

So I went to Artery to talk to their manager and to take a look at the venue, it's really awesome as it gives me a very cozy and homely feel!!

Then I was sure that, I'm gonna held it there.




I look red here cause by the time I took this photo I was drunk.




Yay! Got the whole bar to myself!




Pretty and cozy right?!




Though the venue was sponsored, I still come up with money (close to 2k *heart pain*) cause I'm gonna get drinks and finger food for all my love!

I can't expect them to go in there and pay for the drinks themselves right?!

Cause all those I invited are all my really really mad close friends and relatives of mine! They are those people that are important to me in my life and had made an impact on me before. Where got face to ask them to pay!


Talking about the guest and people who came...

I actually got quite a headache about the invited guest cause the initial guest list to invite was over 150 people! But it's too ridiculous!!

Cause the bar was pretty small and it will not be able to fit that many pax and also I'll have to spend even more if that number of people came. So I cut it down and invited about 60++ of my love to come.

I need to say I'm really sorry if I did not invite you (if my friends are reading this) cause I really got no choice! :(




Fingers & B reached the earliest to help me out.




Drinks coupons which all my loves will get!


And people starts to come in....










"Happy Birthday" ... "Thank you thank you"




All writing birthday wishes for me which will all be compile and put into a photo album with loads of my camwhore pictures!!




Neh! The photo album!




Finger food! Yums!




Running about receiving presents and talk to everyone!




Think they are ordering drinks..







Small heart shape balloons around all the sitting area!













With Brandy & Lindy! :)




Pui & Taiwei!




My mary ah ma and ah gong!!!!!!!
Tell me this is totally mad awesome loving and sweet photo captured!!!I really like this picture so so much and they look damn cute and sweet here!





Baby tat!




Jd & Chinhao!







My ah gek ah ma (daddy side)!




Jayden, Esther & Isaac!




With my Weiliang! Hahahahahahaa!
Mad funny cause I kept ask him to smile with his teeth but he couldn't cause he broke his front tooth due to some parade! Crazy right!








B, Ran & Ting!







Candid shot of me laughing like mad while talking to Minting!




Guess what everyone is watching?????!!!




A 17 minutes, awesome video of me!!!
Where I talk about my 21 years of life, all the funny incident and stuff which I wanted to say to all of them! And I even showed them my room too!

Have to thanks Audi.K & Ben.A for the video cause they treat it very seriously and do up a very professional job! I totally felt like a celebrity when they are recording it! Hahahahahahahahaahahaha!

And they are also the one that help to take pictures for my party too! :)


Can't help but to talk more about the video cause it is really awesome and they edited till it's mad touching and also funny on the other hand!

Makes me feel like I should do more videos and show you guys!

But nonetheless, I'm not intending to put up the video for now (for certain reason) but might in the near future! Hope they're professional enough not to upload or show people the video without my consent (didn't talk to them the other time about it but I'm sure they will be reading this, I guess!).




See! Everyone is laughing so hard! I'm a good entertainer!




Giving a lousy speech after the video ends.




Bah! Should have draft it out before hand instead!


Then the birthday cake pops out....




With all of them singing birthday song for me! :D




Mad happy! But why the guy like giving me a weird look!







Natural elated smile!




Hilarious!!! Cause I request them to sing one more time for me!




Blowing out the candles!
