Pa brought Sarah along with her to the Army Open House.
1st Stop, Breakfast at the Singapore Flyer.
Surrounded by mountain of food, as it is a breakfast buffet, a good start to the day for her.
Sarah meets Leopard.
Making monkey faces at Pa while queueing up for the dynamic show.
One of the kind NS boys gave her a stick on tatoo.
Finally we got seated, the sun was blazing, luckily we were near the aisle while there were misty industrial fans blowing away.
This funky paper sunshade did the job just fine
Let the show begins, the commandos came dropping out of the sky, leaving her jaw dropping, this is her first time seeing parachuting.
Then the simulated show with pyrotechnics. The bangs and explosions at near distance gave her some shock, she was scared yet very curious was to what was going on.
A very interesting show. Too bad we were not able to grab the toy parachutes that were projected skywards and rained down on the audience.
Next we went to the static display, her 1st stop, Pa's vocational vehicle! The Bionix Infantry Fighting Vehicle.
She became a General Purpose Machine Gunner (GPMG) just like Pa.
The Super Puma.
The most exciting toy on display, the Apache.
Pilot fot a second.
Bouncy Castle suit her better than on the steel welded machines.
She got a jeepy go round.
I was quite excited that they had kiddy pixelated uniform, luckily, she was game enough to put them on for a photo shoot.
A Section Automatic Weapon (SAW), just like the one Pa uses during his NS.
Another stick-on tatoo.
This time she requested to have her face painted.
A very cute water melon patch.
Supposed the future of warfare, the remote control car? When was the last time they visited Toy's R Us?
Let go to the bay!
Duck Tour = $35 per pax, Army Open House = $0! Deal of the day!
Going under the Benjamin Sheares Bridge.
The iconic Singapore Flyer.
The Billion dollar Garden by the Bay, money does make wonders.
She was intrigued by the Flying Fox, insisted that she want to go up the tower and do it too!
Doing her IPPT, at the standing broad joint station.
Combat ration sampling, she did not ask for second helping.
The next Nightingale?
A fun and eye opening day for her, a tiring day for me, nevertheless, it's a good bonding session.
