你們知道嗎? 亞塞拜然也被稱為是「火之國」🔥 因為在十三世紀時,馬可波羅經過這裡發現巴庫附近的阿普舍隆半島有許多神秘的火焰從地表露出來🐪
也難怪這裡對瑣羅亞斯德教(拜火教)是個多麼神聖的地方!甚至在十七世紀還建造了 Baku Ateshgah 火之廟,讓絲路上的旅者都有個地方可以休息以及參拜🙏 而且不限拜火教的人,連錫克教、回教徒都一起共用🕌
火之廟中間的火焰,原本從十七世紀開始就一直沒熄過。直到 1969 這邊大量產石油,才被熄滅...😓 現在燃燒的火焰是用附近的瓦斯點燃的,雖然人工但還是蠻有意思的~🔥
距離火之廟不遠的地方有個地方叫做 “Yanar Dag” 👀 原本以為這個長達十公尺的火焰從好幾百年前就一直燃燒所以才特地過來看😌
這個地方門票費有夠貴!再加上看過土庫曼的「地獄之門」後就覺得很爛😈 沒想到居然是在 1950年代有個牧羊人不小心丟根煙下去而燃燒起來😠 到底要相信那個版本我不清楚,但是這個版本關係到這個門票費值不值得啊!☹️
我們也去參觀了在 2007年被譽為世界文化遺產的戈布斯坦岩石藝術文化景觀😊 這裡擁有六千多幅古代雕刻,平均約五千年到兩萬年之久👕😲
而亞塞拜然擁有全世界最多的泥火山🌋 當然我那天摔進去泥火山的故事就不用多說了...😅 說真的我覺得地形像是走在月球上有點誇大,但是夏天來泥火山口泡個泥火山浴確實蠻特殊的😆
這次在巴庫真的很感謝 Azerbaijan Tours and trips 的兩兄弟 Alishan 與 Miryusif 😊 感覺像是朋友當地陪,而不是導遊😁 而且我因為掉進去泥火山把他的車子用超藏,Alishan 不只沒嫌棄我,還建議把行程分成兩天讓我可以回家梳洗😢 超級感動~
他們的旅行社有許多不同的行程,如果有機會來亞塞拜然可以聯絡他們唷➡️ www.travelinbaku.com 😁

Azerbaijan is known as "Land of Fire"🔥 When Marco Polo passed here in 13th century, he noticed that mysterious flames were appearing all over Absheron region🐪
We did a day tour with @travelinbaku to explore the peninsula 🚗 To see how the natural fires of Azerbaijan have played have a crucial part in the creation of Zoroastrianism- one of the oldest religions in the world🙏
The Baku Ateshgah or the fire temple was used as a Hindu, Zoroastrian, and Sikh place of worship particularly for travelers along the Silk Road🕌 Fires were burning long before the temple was built🔥
The center eternal flame was burning since 17th century until it was put out in 1969, after nearly a century of exploitation of petroleum and gas in the area😞
Not too far from the temple, there's this place called "Yanar Dag" where there's a 10M long of gas burning 🔥 Seriously it was so lame after seeing the "Gates of Hell" in Turkmenistan 😈
Plus, originally I thought it was cool cz it has been burning for centuries, turns out it was lit up by a shepard accidentally in 1950s 😒 Super overpriced, was not pleased😂
We also visited Gobustan National Park🌳 The region was declared as an UNESCO in an attempt to preserve the ancient carvings, mud volcanoes and gas-stones in the region🌋
Azerbaijan has the most amount of mud volcanoes in the world🌍 To be honest it didn't look all the special other than the fact I fell into it😅 Poor York had to hand wash all my clothes...👕
Had to go into Gobuston Museum looking all dirty to see the 6,000 rock carvings which on the average dating back to 5,000-20,000 years😲
Overall we had a great time in Baku thanks to Alishan and his brother Miryusif 😊 It felt like we hanged out with two friends rather than having a guide😁
They have a lot of specialized tours on the website➡️ www.travelinbaku.com be sure to check it out 😎

(EHPRO FUSION 2 IN 1 KIT)
The Fusion 2-in-1 kit from Ehpro is an innovative vaping device. You can put two different juices in it and vape them both at the same time, or alternate them. It has two separate tanks, two different chips, and each chip fires a different coil. It uses two 18650s, which you’ll need to buy separately, and it fires them individually. You will find a battery gauge for each battery on the bottom. You can swap the coils out and mix temperature control and other types of coils in the device. Fire both at the same time for up to 200W, and individually at 100W. The flavor experience is quite remarkable with this Fusion. There’s great adjustable airflow here, and it chucks huge clouds. There’s a huge firing button on it, and the battery life is really good. If you’re looking for a really unique and satisfying vape, you can’t go wrong with this Fusion 2-in-1 Kit.

"Let's tell a story.
I'm working my 24 hr (work 24 hours, off 48 hours) duty. It's 1100 and I just finished morning lecture (equipment drill and familiarisation) in the engine bay of my fire station. It's a Saturday so our rota (platoon-ish) orders nasi lemak. Coding comes in over the loudspeaker and we turn out to a case of locked door, suspected DOA (decomposing body). Traffic doesn't give way to our LF (red rhino), as per usual (smh). We arrive at the HDB unit and instantly we smell the dead body. The knowledge of smell will come with experience. The niece, who called 995, asks me if her uncle will be ok. I already know the body is decomposing but I reply "We're unsure, but we'll try our best". I lie to her face. My pump operator (PO, and the only regular in the crew) looks at me and grimaces. We've been in this situation together many times before. We easily break the door and the smell intensifies. I go in first, followed by the ambulance (alpha) paramedic. We find the body on the bed in the master bedroom. The paramedic tells me, "About two weeks". The body is severely bloated, skin green and black. The face is unrecognizable as it has bloated too much. Bile attempts to escape from between the discolored lips creating bubbles. The smell is sweet but rotten and my fireman gags. I get the relevant information I need and step out for a breather. The niece looks at me and asks what is going on. I look at her and I know she knows he's dead. "You uncle... has passed away". I turn away to avoid the emotions. Emotions are killers in this line of work.
We get back in time for nasi lemak lunch. The chicken is a bit soggy this week. The smell of rotten flesh lingers in my nostrils. I watch the Malay romantic drama that my enciks chose on the TV. It's ok, the girl is cute.
Before dinner we get another call - unit fire confirm case. We race there and reach before the fire engine (pumper). They're caught in traffic and will take another few minutes. Two firefighters and I proceed to the unit. Instantly the thick black smoke chokes my throat and waters my eyes. I struggle with my breathing cylinder because the air hose delivery tool is stuck between my backplate and my back. I say fuck it, neighbours are already screaming for us to hurry. The pressure escalates but I close myself off from the members of public, just like normal. We all focus. The only things I listen to are my matra (radio) and my fireman. I just wear my facemask for minimal protection and crawl in. The fire is well alight on the stove and I shoot at it. The smoke limits my visibility to 0, I now can't see my fingers as I stretch out my arm. I crawl back out and get stuck on a fallen wire. I panic as I think of my family. Emotions are dangerous. A fire biker crawls in and frees me. We step out and I tell the crew the fire is almost finished but our CAF backpacks are finished (water foam sprayers). I send the firefighters down to set up water supply from hydrant and crawl back in with the firebiker. The smoke makes it feel like someone just threw hot ash down my throat. We extinguish the fire using an ass-washing hose from the kitchen toilet. I am coughing badly but he sprays my face with the hose. The kitchen is badly burnt. I can feel the smoke damage in my lungs. The owner and neighbours pat me on the back and thank me for saving their home as I walk out. I smile but I know I took another step closer to death.
We get back at 2200 and order McDonalds. It is the best Double McSpicy I’ve eaten in a while.
At lunch the next day my friend (SAF LTA) tells me how stressful being an instructor at SAFTI has been recently. I remember as my cylinder got trapped on the fallen wire, and how I thought of my family in those few struggling seconds. I nod my head and grunt. " SAF has it tough with JCC and everything huh?" I joke. He agrees enthusiastically.
All in a day’s work for the NSFs in SPF/SCDF. If we fail, someone dies from our direct actions. Welcome to NS. No second chances or semula. Just death. I wish the public knew the risks that some NSFs take each day. We might not be as fit as NDU or as garang as commandos, but we put our lives on the line literally every day.
As an NSF I can say I have saved many lives, fought many fires and contributed to Singapore. No play acting or training for a war that will never happen (though I understand the incredible need for an armed military). I love my job, I love NS and wouldn't trade it for anything else (maybe an EMT vocation).
I am still amazed that many members of public still associate NS with army. I wish people would know. There's no greater feeling in this world than knowing some uncle I helped rescue on my first duty at 0200 will live to eat his favourite mee pok or talk cock with his kakis because of my direct actions. Pride and care right?
At least I get paid $1400 a month (;
UPDATE: Thanks for overwhelming suppourt. If I knew how big this would get I would have proofread my writing more 😒 (some might say it spread like fire in dry grass during lalang season). I would tell more stories but I know that it would compromise my anonymity so I'll just shut my mouth, and unfortunately since this is a throw away you guys probably won't be hearing from me again.
What were my goals for this post?
To bring awareness to the nature and extent of NSF work in SCDF.
To just get some words off my chest.
This post was NOT meant to:
Bash SAF. I know the importance of a trained military (I believe I addressed this point in my initial post). If we didn't have the National Service Scheme, invading Singapore as Indonesia or Malaysia would be easy af.
Over-dramatise our work. I tried my hardest to write from a neutral stand point and deliver facts about incidents as cold, hard, and true as the Ben&Jerrys ice cream in my freezer however what we do on a daily sometimes makes me ask "Am I in a Michael Bay film?". It happens to the best of us.
If you were offended, I apologise. My intentions were merely to raise awareness for the often overlooked and under-praised "little brother" NSFs in SCDF/SPF. So many of our kind deserve recognition for what they deal with.
One last short bit before signing off.
EMTs (medical assistants in ambulances) have some of the roughest calls out there, no contest. I was having dinner with my buddy from BRT who later became an EMT at a high volume station when he dropped Fat Man 2.0 on me. Traditionally he and I have always been tuned to similar wavelengths as the chaos-utopia nature of our jobs is only shared between a select few.
He's an NSF like me -- 18-22, male, horny. As per the norm we were sharing gossip about events or big incidents in the Force, latest happenings and where that one cute paramedic at 33 is now. We were just digging in to our chow when he told me "I had a casualty die in my hands for the first time".
According to him it's not common for that to happen. I nod my head as I spool my pasta. It's has a thick green sauce and I can't help but think of my last DOA. I throw the idea out of my mind. Work is work, recreation is recreation. Usually when EMS arrives the casualty has a high chance of surviving, albeit sometimes with long lasting or even permanent injuries, or the casualty is dead. "Case of fall from height. The skull was completely smashed," he told me between mouthfuls of food, "I had the guy in a head grip but the harder I held his skull, the more my fingers just... pressed into his brain. There was no structural integrity left in the skull." We continued eating, he had told me of a similar case before. It wasn't new news to either of us. The pasta burns my tongue and I sip on my lemon tea. Too sweet. "Then he just stopped breathing. CPR AED didn't work." It was the first time witnessing the transition from alive to dead. They couldn't resuscitate. We paid the bill and started chitchatting about soccer on the way to the MRT. It was one of eight calls on his 8 hour duty. The food place was way too expensive and I made a mental note to never go back (unless I'm with my parents). Who charges $5 for ice lemon tea? Christ.
There are many duties where I don't get a call the whole 24 hours. If it's a busy day we'll get 3-4. 3-4 for him is a light day. Alpha (ambulance) guys really get it the hardest.
If you know someone who has a similar job, just listen to what they have to say. It's not easy for everyone to transition from seeing a broken family outside a unit containing a dead body to eating breakfast with their fam at their favourite prata house while being all happy smiley. We all get desensitised to death and risking everything but desensitisation doesn't mean it doesn't take a mental toll on our minds and well-being. We don't admit it because it's not garang, but everyone needs to get their thoughts off their chest every once in a while. You can help them by lending a ear (or a hug)."
