Ang Mo Kio Firestation Visit
11June22

Ang Mo Kio is one of the many, Saturday only fire station visits.

All of the fire stations have their unique charm and specialized equipment which may not be seen in all stations, so do give your nearest, participating fire station a visit.

Click here for the latest with regards to the latest requirements with regards to the visiting procedures.

*Sharing of the various pipe sizes and their usage*

*Water in the fire engine can last for a good 20mins before running dry.*

*Various spray patterns unpressurized from the hydrant*

*Seeing first hand the automated Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) Machine*

*One of the rare stations that has a giant fan which is designed to move large volumes of air and or spray a water mist.*

ABBATip:
- Note that each of the stations are active stations and would be called to active duty whenever a call is dispatched.
- They consist of a mixture of regulars as well as national service men.
- Each station may run their mini-open house differently and it was a different, positive learning experience at each of them.

- Convenient parking is available opposite at Yio Chu Kang Active Sports Hall

Highly recommended, free tour of our local civil defense. Will definitely make my rounds to the various stations for a fun filled, educational and interactive experience, exclusive to Citizens and Permanent Residents.

Pretty much free event as far as I could tell. The loop from either the Helix Bridge or from Esplanade Bridge is the same and you'd cover all the beautiful installations.
ABBATip:

- You might wanna wear some proper shoes as a loop around was about 4km in distance.

- Stay for the MBS nightly spectra water show and display that occurs hourly.

*The changing colors of MBS*

*Truly organic and mesmerizing*

*Random uncle had his tricked out bike and joined in the festival*

Amazing experience. With the reopening of Singapore, it was a huge welcome to see the arts from the international stage take a front seat and showcase many enjoyable pieces. A great after dinner walk about to enjoy and may require a second visit to have a read of all the art pieces and to enjoy.

Mount Imbiah Nature Trail

The Mount Imbiah Trail has been around since Sentosa first opened to the public in the 1970s.

Click here for ABBA location of Imbiah Nature Trail
It is a leisurely walk that takes just under two hours to complete with a couple of key (thou man-made structures along the way)

There's public parking available at Imbiah Lookout Carpark and its an excellent starting point to begin the loop from the Sentosa Nature discovery and move on in a loop finishing out at Fort Imbiah.

*Imbiah falls?*

*Tired Guardians*

*Fort Imbiah*

Look out for under leaves as Cicada molting were plenty to  be found.

For a more natural and historical filled explorative route, one may wanna check out the Fort Siloso Skywalk and fort Siloso Museum.  

 

Conveniently both walks are located by the cable cars and its worth the ride offer to take a picturesque round trip ride. 

 Lunch along Quayside Isle
