Nee Nah Nee Nah...

Jaimie has this Masiy book. The sound of the fire engine, as described in the book, is "nee nah nee nah". She gets quite excited when she sees a real fire engine on the road and she'll go "nee nah nee nah".

Clement loves the fire engine and the fire fighting thingy due to the nature of his job. He has been wanting to bring Jaimie to the Civil Defence Heritage Gallery to see/ sit on a "nee nah nee nah". Since we were at UE Sq this morning, we walked over to High Street, where the Central Fire Station and the Heritage Gallery is, to fulfill these 2 peoples' wishes.

Inside the gallery was an old telephone. It has no access to the Matrix but there was a recorded message to tell you about how a telephone helped the fire brigade to respond faster to incidents in the olden days.
I almost forgot that the fire fighting squad used to be called the "Singapore Fire Brigade". Now it is all under SCDF.

On the 2nd floor is an exhibit of the SCDF rescue force.

There is a children's corner for them to "copy" the picture. Just put a piece of paper on these metal plates and colour on them lightly with a pencil. The picture will be traced out on the paper. I am sure we all did this using coins when we were in primary school. :)
"When I grow up, I want to be a fire fighter!"
Fire fighters are very brave people and they risked their lives to save lives.
I salute all fire fighters!
