Continued from the topic "With Sunburnt,Sweat and Fatigue".

Last Saturday I went to the RSAF open house with Glenn.This is my second time going to the plane exibition with him,except that we can get to "interact" with the place during the open house.

The weather was freaking hot at that day,thus the result of getting sunburnt on my hands and nose.The feeling is not really good,especially when you have to attend the 7pm service on Saturday.

We faced a hugh traffic jam on our way to Paya Lebar Airbase by the shuttle bus,all thanks to the construction of a new expressway.Because of this,we missed the air show and the lucky draw to take a free plane ride.

Anyway,here's some of the photos taken by me:

The entrance to the RSAF open house.The Paya Lebar Airbase is big,so there's no worry having a human jam.

The stage where they annouced the lucky winner who can get to take a free plane ride.This is also a stage for performance from stars like Junyang.But I don't want to see Junyang,I want Fiona Xie!Why must she come only on Sunday?

Me inside the Chinook.Actually I rode the Chinook before,it's good but not that fantastic.I prefer UH1H(Bell),where the chutes are open and you're like going for a thrill ride.

E2C.The design of the plane looks kinda funny.Anyway this plane is so-called a classified one,so no photos were taken inside the plane.

Check out the space.Imagine you hold a party inside this plane with DJ inside.

Glenn and I were the lucky ones who is able to be the last to take photos with the cockpit.Shall not post inside here,or else I may violate any RSAF laws.

Chinook which was taken on my way to the shuttle bus back to Eunos.I know it was not really well taken.



Last note:Finally my ipod worked well.Yesterday I thought my ipod went up the lorry because the screen always display some unknown error.Anyway I managed to get fixed with the help of the people in Wheelock Place.
