Remember the entry that I posted earlier about SCDF and that my ambition was a fireman when I was young? If you missed it, you can read it here!
Anyway, few weeks back.. I had a visit to the Fire Station and it was really fun! A great learning experience too! I've learnt more about the SCDF, the roles and functions of its fire stations as well as the capabilities of its firefighters!
So what did we exactly do there?
Heres the friendly fireman that guided us through the trip!
We were briefed on roles and functions of a fire station, its capabilities and its routine! Look at our faces! Engrossed! Haha! Btw, went there with Ben bro and Shawn!
And not forgetting that we were also briefed on operational capabilities of the appliances in a fire station! Therefore we went to try out some of the equipment used by firefighters! My favourite part!!
The water gun!
Had fun!
Next we tried out the bigger version of the water gun! We tried shooting water with their nozzle!
Happy boy! Haha!
After that, I even tried out the oxygen tank that firefighters had to wear when they're action! Its quite heavy!
The front view looked like I'm carrying a school bag!
Anyway, we all even took this!
Weeeee we are up there!
Its high!
This is the thing they use to operate!
Smile for the camera!
You can see its around 5 storeys high!
And just before we were about to go off, some of the firefighters even did demonstration on the sliding pole..
We also went for some exhibition because its near the fire station!
Us in the fire truck!
Basically, I hope these somehow summarize how it is like to be part of the life saving force! Had a good time there too!
To end off with this, I strongly encourage you guys to visit the fire station if you're free! No admission fee is required and the open house are held on every Saturday from 9.00 am to 11.00 am.
Anyway, do visit SCDF website to find out more about SCDF's recruitment!
Goodbye!

Hello!
Since I've been using this phone for the past few weeks.. I'm here to share with you guys some of the applications that I really like from LG GW620!!
Not mentioning those I that I had already mentioned in the earlier entries though!
Here we go!!
-----------------------------
#1: Google Talk
This application let you chat with your friends and family who has Gmail accounts! It's just like instant messaging!
This are my contacts that I can chat with!
What I find useful about this application is that its really convenient as you don't even have to text message (SMS) your friends.. you can straight away talk to them in Google Talk!
-----------------------------
#2: Youtube
Do you guys know there is this Youtube icon on the home screen whereby when you press on it, you can access straight to Youtube?
Very easily accessible!
Featured videos, most popular video, most viewed videos etc. will all be shown on the page once you're inside!
**Talking about Youtube, audio is very important right? Another great thing about LG GW620 is that it has a 3.5 mm headphone jack!
Any normal earpiece would fit into it! Nice!
-----------------------------
#3: Android Market
The Android Market allows users to browse and download applications and games!
I've downloaded quite a lot of applications and games from the Android Market! You can even find stuff like photoshop on your mobile!
-----------------------------
#4: Video Editor
You can now create lots of mini-movies with photos, videos and music! After that, you can even share your masterpiece by email, MMS or online!
You can edit your video by 3 different ways!
Simply add your photos/videos and music in and start editing! Be creative! :D
Though it's just a simple video editor, I find that its a good way to edit and playback the photos you have taken in a video! A great way to reminisce the time you spend with your friends/family when you watch the video you did!
-----------------------------
The 4 awesome apps!
Anyway, I'm ending this entry as this is just gonna be a short one! Do check back tomorrow for a final entry on LG GW620!
P/S: There will be a video!
Goodbye!

Hello all! As mentioned in the earlier entry, there are more awesome features that LG GW620 has!
Talking about this phone comes with a 5.0 mega pixels camera yesterday.. There is another feature that we can totally make use of the clear camera!
And that feature is the Face tagging function!!
Its like tagging people in Facebook! Its the same with this smart phone!
For example, this is the photo you are going to tag...
Press your finger on the person's face like this..
and this will appear..
Then select the name of this person from your contact list
Tada! You've tagged someone in the photo! 
So you might be wondering what's the point of tagging?
Well thats because once you tag someone in a photo, the auto face-tagging automatically recognizes their face! Meaning the next time you take photo of this person, it will recognize your friend! How cool is that!!
and and....
After tagging, simply touch their face in the picture and you can call, SMS, MMS, or even join your friend's social networking site!
All these could be done instantly in your gallery! How great can that be? You don't even have to go to your browser to do all these!
But however speaking about browser..
Do you all know that the Android OS and Google browser provides one of the fastest web connections? Uploading pictures/videos could be just done in seconds AND streaming of movies could be done without lagging! Omg!
See how convenient it is.. The Google browser is located at the home screen! So you can just go ahead and google what you want!
Using the browser to go to websites! Its simple and easy! The awesome thing is that you can get to surf websites with their 3-inch screen!
-----------------------------
Wait!! Hold on!!
** I have a random question to ask you guys!
What if you guys want to check your email? Do you guys go to the browser and type in (gmail.com/hotmail.com/yahoo.com etc.)?
No!! You don't have to!!!
Why?
Because there is this Real-Time Push Email function whereby you don't need to visit your mail box every time to check if there's mail. It will alerts you instantly of new mail delivery!
It will notify me that I've unread emails!
and there you go reading your mails only when needed to!
-----------------------------
Anyway, heres a random thing I found out when I was viewing the photos that I took using the phone..
You can zoom in and view the photo by just pressing the screen twice!
Okay, this is the photo before zooming in! (Steamboat!)
And press the screen twice...
See! It zoomed up till 50% and you can go all the way up till 200%!
and view the photo in large quality by just moving your finger!
Can totally see what's inside the steamboat! I can see Fish balls and hot dogs! :P
-----------------------------
Well, last but not least...
The best thing about this phone is that.. It fits nicely in your hand when its in the portrait mode!
You wouldn't want a phone that is too bulky or rather a phone that its width is too long for you to carry it in your hand.
Looking cool with the phone! Hahahahaha! :P
-----------------------------
And yah! Do comment if you have any questions to ask about this phone! :)
Goodbye!

Hey guys! Merry Christmas Eve everyone! I'm back!!
Anyway, this picture above was taken and edited from my LG GW620!
How awesome is that when you can edit your photo straight from your phone using their editing functions?
Showing you guys how easy it is to edit photos through this phone!
You don't even have to access to your Photoshop or any other editing softwares in your PC! Convenient!
The final product after I edited it!
And also not forgetting to mention that this smartphone comes with a 5.0 mega pixels camera! The top photo taken above is very clear as you can see!
It also comes with single LED Flash!
Other than this useful function that I personally really like, there are more features that you can't believe what this smartphone provides!
-----------------------------
This phone is really good! As days goes by, the more I'm into this phone cause it has everything I need! I'll tell more about it as we go along!
Anyway, this LG GW620 caters to all users! What's the reason?
What if you're someone who prefer Touch screen phone than the Qwerty keypad type of phone? Or the other way round?
This phone has got 2 in 1! Haha!
Talking about this awesome qwerty keypad. It is just like our normal keyboard that you guys used on your PC or Laptops! Most of the qwerty keypads phone only comes in 3 rows but for this phone, it comes with 5 rows!
This allows fast typing and also quick access to symbols and special characters!
It made typing so so much easier and this leads to text messaging your friends!! Another cool feature that this smartphone has is the threaded SMS! Take a look!!
Doesn't this look so much neater? All the messages sent by a particular person would be stored in their own thread! If you want to find any messages would be much easier and faster too!
And what's so cool about it? Sometimes you tend to forget what you sent to your friend and when your friend replies, you totally don't get it! So this is a great feature whereby you can scroll up to see what you sent earlier on! Its all inside a thread!
Awesome? Yes? :)
-----------------------------
As this is LG's first Android phone, the key feature is its Social Network Manager!!
It is to connect to your friends via integrated SNS (Social Network Service)!
Can you spot the SNS application?
Basically, this application let us connect to our friends with Social Network Service and link our phonebook contacts directly to Facebook and Twitter!
Meaning while you're scrolling your phonebook to find your friend, you can also access to their Facebook or Twitter page!
The good thing is we don't have to trouble ourselves to go to the browser and to the Facebook/Twitter website and still have to find their contacts! This save a lot of hassle and time!!
Trust me, its really useful!
Me using another application to tweet! :D
-----------------------------
Anyway, I shall end here for now..
And if you think thats all.. No!!! Do come back tomorrow for ''Life's Good 1.5''!
Do comment if you have any enquiries, I'll try to reply if possible! :)
Goodbye!

How much do you know about SCDF?
Tuesday, November 24, 2009 | 9:44 PM
Advertorial
Ever know what was my ambition when I was young?
It's Fireman! Muahahaha cannot believe right!
Anyhow drew this with my wacom tablet
----------------------------------
Okay. That wasn't really the main point, just sharing only!
What I'll be doing on is telling you guys about SCDF!
What is SCDF??!!
Basically SCDF which is also known as The Singapore Civil Defence Force is a uniformed organisation under the purview of the Ministry of Home Affairs.
They provide firefighting (I like!), rescue and emergency ambulance services, mitigate hazardous materials incidents..
and not forgetting to formulate, implement and enforce regulations on fire safety and civil defence shelter matters.
SCDF also actively engages the local community through its wide-ranging public educational programmes and community-based activities to pass down the message to everyone to be prepared when there are emergencies.
I still remember in my uniform school days, I have talks like these all the time! :)
Oh! and excursion too!!!!
This was in 2007, when we went to Singapore Discovery Centre for a Civil Defence trip I think..
What I find really awesome about SCDF is that they're always ready and prepared to ensure our nation if there is any unexpected eventualities. They have professional body of well-trained officers and specialists like 24/7!
Ahhh. Please do not take them for granted and appreciate what we have!
Their tagline which is very true: The Life Saving Force!
So I'm ending this entry already! And if you do not want to have a desk-bound job, check out how you can be part of the life saving force here!
Goodbye!
