Last duty was really shagged due to the long duration of our HRI Drill. It was located at an island not so far away from the sentosa island - Pulau Sebarok. It was an island with lots of extremely large tankers (about 26m in diameter); so much so that the people working on that island need to use bicycles as a mean of transport.

We took a ferry to our destination (so did our vehicles). The weather was hot and we had to wear our full gears under the blazing sun from 09 00 to about 13 00. It was nice to just sit beside the tankers admiring the clear blue sky. Opps! =x Heard that the private fire fighters over there were earning much much more than SCDF's. No wonder so many SCDF officers are resigning to join the private sectors. =x

Albeit the tough and gruelling exercise, it was an unforgettable, one of a lifetime experience. How many people will have the chance to even walk into such a highly security-tight and highly dangerous area in their lifetime?

After half a day of rest (wasted), some of us went back to station today for CB Day. Don't think the other way round, it's community bonding day! We had to introduce to the public some of our capabilities as a life-saving force and how they can play a part as well. I even met my grandma coincidentally! The whole event ended at around 17 00; and I got back home at 19 00. Another off day wasted.

Looking forward to a simple scenario drill for tomorrow... ...=)
