Fire Station

Jaden had a 'lawatan sambil belajar' at the Sri Hartamas Fire Station end of last month. His school organised the trip with another school and there were so many grandparents and parents who accompanied their kids to the station. Jaden was lucky to have his grandmother with him, however, the trip turned out to be like a 'pasar malam', with kiasu grandparents and parents around, that my MIL was quite pissed with the poor organisation.

My MIL was one of the first to arrive at the station (9.15 am) and the staff showed her to the TV room to keep Jaden occupied while waiting for people to arrive. When she came out of the room, she noticed all seats were taken up and parents/kids were scrambling to get a place near the center where the demonstration of uniforms, talk, etc was held. Jaden only managed a place at the side :(



OOOOhhhh....the fire engine is huge!





Lucky Jaden managed to make 2 rounds in the fire engine around the station compound. I was surprised that he sat on Uncle Fireman's lap!

Jaden simply loved the trip! We read Barney's Fire Station Visit and Sesame Street's fire engine books to prepare Jaden for the visit, and he could tell us various parts of the uniform. Truly an eye opener experience for him :)
