ALL AHOY! NAVY OPEN HOUSE 2007

this post is turning into something very long.. so this one is for the performances and * attractions.

duck tours!! the navy has 6 on duty for tours. average waiting time was 86 mins!!




entering the water..



we are in the water!! well, not really. but technically yea..


dance by the SAF music and drama company.


i'll say their dances are very energetic and hip.


naval divers performing the divers' beat.



the navy divers carrying rubber boats weighing 100kg with 8 men to a boat.


so heavy somemore run. these men are damn tough.


doing PT on the burning hot tarmac..







there's one man standing on the boat cowboy style while the rest run back where they came from..

next up is the anti ordinance/terrorists exercise.

'terrorists' / intruders preparing their bomb.


2 of them were killed while the last one was arrested by the base security personnel.


the unexploded bomb..


the remote control explosive disposal unit.. can be piloted up to a distance of 100m.


detonating the bomb..


explosive ordinance disposal technician (EOD) checking to make sure the bomb is really denotated.


the banner says it all.

so after the NDU demo, me and ronald sat there for abt 20 mins waiting for Fiona Xie to make her appearance.


fiona xie!! this was taken from the seats. 5X optical zoom.


at first there was only 1 guy taking photos of fiona xie close up... then..


a crowd gathering in front of the stage. mostly males of course. so i decided to move closer also, after all, wad's there to lose?


i'll say this is a rather 'seducive' look...


close up.. her dressing is rather conservative, given her image on tv.


another pic..


end of song.. she sung "la la" by Ashley Simpson.




there was this guy using a PSP mounted camera to take pics. ronald was very envious.


there were 2 types of naval canon on display. i'll guess this is the older one.



the larger more modern gun. this is similar to the gun found on the US Arleigh Burke class destroyers.



WWII era canon.. there are 2 pairs flanking the flag pole facing out to sea.
