Entertaining NEWS
ARMY MUSEUMIt's no Miss Saigon (with its fancy helicopter) or Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (with its flying car), but a six-minute film at the new Army Museum beats these musicals hands down when it comes to sheer "firepower".
At the museum's Object Theatre, a Huey chopper looms over visitors who are also flanked by an M114 howitzer and an AMX-13 tank. When Army Now is shown, these machines "fire" on cue and a strong gust of wind picks up as the helicopter "ascends".
And if you're standing too close to the screen, you may even be sprayed water as the navy slices through the seas in one scene.
Admission is free for all visitors to the Army Museum of Singapore until 31 Dec. Visit www.armymuseum.gov.sg for details.

Don't look now, but Mark Lee has gone from Mr Lao Ah Beng to Mr Museum Ambassador. The comedian was recently tapped to be the face of the National Heritage Board's (NHB) Explore Singapore! 2007 campaign, which runs from 10 Nov to 13 Dec.
"Now I have a new title and it's high-class," the 39-year-old Lee quipped during Tuesday's media conference - before putting on a serious face befitting his serious mission of bringing heartlanders, not to mention taxi drivers, to the museums.

ISn't he fantastic? I think he is damn funny. Sometimes nothing around can turn up my mood.. I'm a tough nut to crack. So I'll get very impressed by people like him. Haha. So it goes to show, being good-looking can never beat a person who is high in EQ and able to crack a tough nut like me. All the way man.. Lao Beng!
