Men in Uniform

BFF- SCMS & Krispy Kreme!

I went to the Fire Station today. The boss asked me if I wanted to check out hot Hong Kong firemen, naturally I said yes. So off I went today to Shatin Divisional Fire Station. The last time I went to a fire station was in Aberdeen and the firemen in there were shit hot. I mean seriously sizzling hot. So I expected some eye candy today. But nooooo... firemen in Hong Kong are not as cute. Some were decent-looking but most were old and married looking. What a waste of a day! The other girls seemed to like the look of them though.. Maybe I need to re-examine my taste in men?

They are so exam orientated here, I had to sit through a whole day's lecture on fire safety so that I can be a fire ambassador. They didn't tell me I had to sit an exam at the end of the day. It didn't help that the course was run in Cantonese, with the exams also in Cantonese and split into multiple choice and long answer questions. -_- I just answered them in English and made calculated guesses. So I ended up with 6 'As', 6 'Bs', 6 'Cs' and 7 'Ds' to give every answer equal weightage. The other people on the course were all asking all kinds of stupid questions like: Why can't we take the firemen lift in the instance of a fire? Can we take it if we run to the lift? Why do we need to bring our keys out when we leave the apartment? How do we get back into the building. How many minutes will it take for a 100 degrees celcius fire to kill us?

Answers: No we cannot take the firemen lift even if we run right out with our keys when the fire alarm sounds as the lifts are programmed to go straight down and the doors stay open in the event of a fire. We need keys to get back into the building *duh* and it only takes 30 seconds for a small fire to go out of control and 5 minutes for instant combustion. Fire that is 100 degrees at floor level would be 600 degrees celcius at room height, so obviously we would die before that happens due to smoke inhalation. Shessh.. I thought this was common knowledge? Maybe I hang out around fire stations too much. I used to wander through the fire station in Glasgow because I was too lazy to walk around it hehe. It helped that the firemen were hot too!:)

Anyways, they let us try the extinguishers and look at all the fire engines. I love the one with the saws and the metal cutters that can be used to cut through car wrecks. I am begining to think I was a boy in my previous existance as I get so excited about electrical tools, either that, or I am hanging out with the boys too much. Soon I will be fishing for hot chicks like the rest of them. The plus point is, I will never get pregnant (haha!so no shotgun marriage) and both of us can take turns to go through childbirth. A brilliant take to sharing resposibilities don't you think?

I do hope I pass my Fire Ambassador exam. Because I get a cool certificate at the end, and an ID card I can flash around and show off. I can also buy myself a sexy firewoman outfit to match! And if I see any fire hazards I can order people to move it and I get to collect points when I report it. I wonder what the points will get me? A free ride in the fire engine of my choice? =)

Random fact of the day: There are more than 8000 firemen in Hong Kong but only 4 female Fire Officers. What a ratio eh?

Oh my love! I was promised a donut on Saturday if I behave. =)
