woke up in the wee morning to meet John at Yishun MRT for Community Bonding Day at Yishun Firestation (basically just an open house for the fire-station, and why give it a totally different name for it)... We arrived soon by taking a ferry bus from the MRT and found Ziyang, Tim & Agnes there already... saw Junxion there, and he brought us around...

we tried the impulse gun which shoots out a blast of water with the force equivilent to 6 times a punch Mike Tyson would give you (one can die from the punch)... the equiptment looks like it came from the Ghostbusters Movie, and it's pretty heavy which is close to 20kg i think...

tried it first with Junxiong supporting the firing-gun-thingy behind me, and i shot the wooden board right down... it all happened so fast that i couldn't see any water coming out at all ! then i tried the 2nd time on my own, and wanted to place the gun infront this time and slightly under my arms to absorbe the recoil... but they said that i might break my arm this way, and to keep the gun away from my body...

ok, 3-2-1 BLAST !!! the gun flew from in front of me to right behind me ! the recoil is incredible ! i even hurt my right wrist from the sudden jerking action, and so did John ... -_-"

tried the rest of the stuff like using the mist gun, fire extinguisher, etc ... left soon with John & Ziyang to catch some action of the Singapore Opens at Marina Bay... but we only watched for about an hour before heading back north to catch soccer at Junxiong place when he knocks off from the fire station...

we had more than an hour to spare when we reached Yishun, so we had Hokkien Mee at a coffeeshop before heading over to John's place first to kill time... and by the time i reach Junxiong place, i realied that my pockets were empty ! John called my phone, and then his house... thankfully, Carol assured that my phone & wallet was with her at the house... *phew*

Yes, Everton beat Liverpool 3-0, and Johnson gave the slow Liverpool lots of problems with his strength and pace...
