Late Updates...Well, yeah...Here's my updates about weekends spent previously...The delay's pretty obvious, but never mind about that for now...
New song on the block!!! Britney Spear's BIG comeback Hit Single : Gimme More
Enjoy~
31 August 2007, Friday
Went down for the "Comex" fair together with Laogong, but before that we had my favorite "fried MARS bars" and "cheese sausage" for takeaway, to please our empty stomachs...
"Comex" was crowded when Laogong and I reached but both of us reckoned that the crowd is lesser, as compared to the "IT Fair" held 2/3 months back...Plus, the prices offered for the gadgets this time round are cheaper too...
Laogong bought a 1 GB "MMC" for me at the "IT fair" back then at $40 plus, but "Comex" offers it at only $30 plus! Well, forget about the price differences cuz we bought our stuffs few months back...
Laogong likes going to such "fairs" , looking at the various IT products for sale...Me on the other hand, has no likes nor dislikes for these...I only go because I wanna accompany my Laogong~ =D We spent like 2 hours or sooo walking and browsing through, at the end of the day, Laogong bought a screen cleaning solution for his laptop, 50 packed "DVD" rewritable discs and a 4 GB "SanDisk" memory stick for our ''PSP" (got a free mini fan for buying that=P)...
We went off around 9.30pm, decided to go for some pizzas but "Pizza Hut" was closed already...Had a small tiff over what to eat for dinner with Laogong but all was resolved eventually after dining at my favorite "HongKong Cafe"...
Got back to JP just in time for our late-night movie : "Evan Almighty"...It's a good one even after "Bruce Almighty"sooo go catch it, if you wanna be in for the laughs...
Correction : Laogong and I watched "1408" on that night...A nice movie with interesting plots...My memory's failing cuz I only realised that I've watched "Evan Almighty" on the previous Friday...*Duh
Laogong and Me...
Every Friday nights, our night~
Every Friday nights, our night~
01 September 2007, SaturdayHad our lunch at "Pizza Hut", got to hear some of the singings of contestants in a competition just beside "Pizza Hut"...Guessed that was a competition for the uncles and aunties, no comments on how most performed...Our ears definitely suffered quite a lil'...
Laogong and I headed down to the bus interchange after that, sooo we could take the shutter bus provided down to "Army Open House'07" held at Pasir Laba Camp...
It was raining earlier while Laogong and I lunched, and only stopped when we've got to the bus interchange...There was no crowds queuing for the shutter bus service sooo Laogong and I proceeded in, and we're both handed a brochure and poncho each...
Well, Laogong was walking in front of me before and after we boarded the shutter bus, he complained to me about this particular NS guy not giving him a poncho when he walked pass but gave the brochure and poncho to me immediately as soon as he saw me walked in...
Silly Laogong...Told me that he's not pleased with the NS guy, trying to wanna get a closer look at me...I wasn't the least bit in known about that cuz I merely took the stuffs and followed Laogong...
Anyway, we brushed off that topic and Laogong soon got all excited telling me about which bunk he used to stayed in, when the shutter bus drove through his camp (Jurong Camp)...There's still plenty that Laogong has told me but I'm not gonna continue yanking...
We reached the place after much touring around on the bus, and Shaolu actually saw me when I alighted from the bus...Too bad I didn't get to see his botak head~ Lols
Alright, pictures for now...
The picture Laogong took...
Extra sitting beside...*Shrugs
Extras again~ It's darn hard to get a good photo of these tanks cuz everyone's vying to take photos with/of the tanks...
Urm, don't ask me what this is called...Ask my Laogong?Hahahs...
I like this one here...Looks like some kinda robot...
Ohh yah!! Half-way through photo-takings, Laogong and I saw the parachuters "flying" down...It's very nice thou' kinda hard to see in the strong sunlight...
A closer look as one of the parachuter is trying to land...Laogong and I saw them went down one by one, had no idea where they landed cuz it wasn't on our side...
Then....Continued taking photos again...=)
Laogong and I found the attire which the parachuter wears..."Red" is my favorite color!! Lols
In fact, the color red is my whole family's favorite too!! Guess my Dad influenced me and my brother...In which family can you find this similarity? Chances are like 1 in 10, perhaps? Sooo I'm proud of that! =)
Laogong with his jet-plane...=DNah, ain't his...Noticed the fake pilot behind? We could actually try sitting in the plane for a minute but the queue's a turn-off...
A better look at the whole thing~
You need any diving equipments?? Take anything you need from here...Hahaha...
This is a gun?? I don't know...A lil' girl was testing it's capabilities...Woah~
Laogong with his gun~ Beware of provoking him else he'll shoot! =P
Another weapon~ There's a camera attached as well...Looks like a telescope to me though...
Need help with camouflaging? Lols...Cute kid here trying it out...Laogong wanted to try that too but gave up cuz there were too many kids waiting to do the same...
The real life-sized camouflage worn by a dummy...Laogong told me he's never worn this before but his friend did during their training days...Laogong's friend could see him clearly in the forest but Laogong didn't knew/saw...
Bullets!!!Heavy ones here...Looks like it could kill one person with just a bullet alone...
Bigger ones!!! These weights very HEAVY!!! I could barely lift it up with one hand...Must use both of my hands and still only managed to bring it up lil' bit...
Candid shot...=DLaogong trying out the weapon designed and created in Singapre...
Made in Singapore leh~lols
Know what this is???It's a portable toilet!!
Noticed the Indian man made use of the mirror to comb his hair?
Laogong and I had a short tour around this toilet too, and it's really cool!! Bath, shit, pee all in this thing...
Although, I wonder where does all those shits and pees go to...Lols
Since there were portable toilets, why not portable washing machines too?COOL~
Not forgetting the portable refrigerator eh...There's also a portable baking/cooking stove...The size is also same like the ones in these photos...
Really nice, everything portable can go camping already...hahas..
One of the NS guy told Laogong about the functions of the refrigerator, and sooo Laogong posed him a question...
"Do you guys really get to use these in Singapore?"
The NS guy told Laogong that it's only made available to those who has training in other countries like "Taiwan"..etc...
After that, Laogong told me soldiers in Singapore no privileges...Boring~
I laughed...
Another tank!! Very long one...I forgot what this is for...Laogong told me before it's something to do with signaling...Hmmm, no idea..
Parachuters coming flying down from this plane!!=)
Sooo many people queued up for this plane, cuz they wanna experienced how it's like sitting inside...
Interior look of the plane...
Yeah, again I don't know what this is...Lols...
Jeep!! Laogong took this shot with the cute girl inside posing for her mummy...It's hard having to capture a photo of the vehicle passengers-less...
Tank, tank!! Not the singer "Tank" lah~The usual one I always get to see on TV!! Lols...
That's all for the tanks and stuffs...Laogong and I continued walking around looking at the shootings which other people played in...Half-way through all the walkings, I saw a familiar face and that person waved to Laogong and me...
I looked harder and then realised, it was Jowell and her beau...
We had a short chat then suddenly another familiar face popped out...It was Elene and her boyfriend (Sky), Jowell and her beau then left while Laogong and I chatted with Elene and Sky...
Sucha coincidence, fancy bumping into a few familiar faces in one day...=)
Anyway, Laogong and I left after the short chat and I accompanied Laogong into this room, where he relived the moments of being a shooter in his army days...
Laogong told me that he gotten all the shots without a single miss, even the NS guy who stood by praised him for every shot he made...
I couldn't really see cuz I don't know how to...=P
We went for other exhibits after that, and I took a shot of these...Looks like a remote-control flying plane to you? Likewise for me!! =)
Laogong says these are spy planes, ones which you could set flying off to detect what the enemies do...
Then, Laogong and I went to this corner where everyone's looking into some telescopic gadget through holes in a wall..We're curious too and sooo tried it out, it turns out to be a night vision thingy and it's sooo cool!!!
One of the NS guy standing by for assistances, told us that we could photograph what's inside with our camera...
And I did just that with Laogong's help!! =D
But, after I took this photo and looked at it, couldn't help but felt that it's eerie-looking...
Well, well...The whole touring ended for us around 6plus as we finally took the shutter bus back to JP...I sure enjoyed the whole thing together with Laogong and he's very happy with the photos too...Laogong's already been there, done that all during his NS days, but he still likes to look at such stuffs and even thou' I've been to the army open house (held in Laogong's camp) few years back, when Laogong's in his uniform performing his duties there, I still like going for such events...
Besides, even if one's in NS before doesn't necessarily means he's seen all these stuffs before...It's as quoted by Laogong, he told me that in every camp it's different sooo you never know what's available here and what's not in there...
True to speak, cuz I don't remember seeing the "portables" few years back when at Laogong's camp open house...
Sooo much fun, sooo lil' time...The end~
And now,
