07S06 outing

Had a dinner with 07S06 friends last night at Suntec n.y.d.c...Glad to see them, especially when Kev, Godfrey and Koon will be enlisted soon.

The food was rather expensive, the standard was above average. However, it is definetely not filling. I ordered a three amigos bakes rice. What was that? Not too sure though.

Christmas

This Christmas, I was at Joyce's house. And I missed three buses... and walk 5 bus-stops as I do not want to wait for nothing (I almost can walk to her house liaoz, 3 more bustops).

Ok, why did I missed the buses. When I reached the interchange, I missed the bus. So i decided to walk to the next bus stop since the bus waiting time will be rather long. But who knows, just as I was reaching the next bus-stop, another went passed me. Thus, I walked another 2 bus stop. I was checking the directory and another zoomed past me.

Finally a 4th bus came and I board the bus.

Learnt and played Tennis at Joyce and Louis house. Tennis was a very very demanding yet fun sport. Woosh goes the ball...And we played 3 on 3 tennis also. Haha, played with Chuan Dao, Xiu Hui, Joyce, Louis, Jian Ming, Huang Peng and Zhi Qi.

Silent Night! Holy Night!

Christmas Eve. Holy Night. Christ was born over two thousand years ago to deliver man from sins, to light up the world with hope. It's a merry time and joyous time. It's also a time to give others the best present or to introduce to them the present that was already prepared for them , waiting for them to receive.

Some might wonder, there is no free lunch on Earth bah. However, his salvation is really free. And it frees you.

This night, we had a mini carolling around the neighbourhood. Yup, the people know that there's a church around. But we must still carry on reaching out to them, in God's time, which we don't know when, they might be believe in Christ too. Yes, it's God's time not our time, so continue to spread the gospel.

Then there is also the 一家一盘菜 which we saw many brothers and sisters bringing food down for a massive potluck. It's a way to serve the Lord when we care for other brothers and sisters in the church.

City Dwelling

I wandered around the city, looking for presents and also trying to be young again. This is a walkthrough of where I went and my thoughts.


I first reached Tekka Mall. It is around Little India. This thought just rushed up my mind. I was waiting for the traffic light and when i look around...I wondered, the field is so big. There are still so many people needing Christ, yet am I doing anything to introduce this salvation to them.


After Tekka Mall, next stop is Sim Lim Square. I am looking for an air-con component for my father but fail.


Next stop, Bugis Street. This is one place I yearn to go because I really cannot catch up with trend. Or you can say I am oldish. It's time to learn what youngsters like and why? This would help in communicating with youngsters around my age which i could seldom find topic to talk about.

Bugis Junction. Just staying put for the time being for Air-Con. Bypassing the National Library, I reached Bras Basah Complex and then headed to Raffles City...City Link...Suntec City...Millenia Walk and then Marina Square. Was taking photos along.

Now about photography. I really thank God for my pair of eyes and the creation of the eye is indeed marvellous and awesome. The human eye is a complex human part and it could focus by itself faster than a camera. Furthermore, no matter how good photos are taken and edited, nothing beats seeing with your own pair of eyes. Agree? I like to take photographs for they are always reminders that during a certain part of my life, God gave me my friends and some other success. It's counting the blessings one by one which we should be doing.


At Marina Sqaure, settled for Claypot Rice, and then went to the Esplanade. Was too exhausted to continue...(both too tired and breathing in enough of exhaust gas). And I went home.

Happy Birthday Mummy.

I am glad that the Lord has gave me such a wonderful and caring mom. She has to work and take care of the family as well. She's always very tired...which make me always want to save money. She motivated me to work hard.

Though she might be quite naggy sometimes but all those are for my own good.

As her birthday is approaching, I decided to threat her with Dian Xiao Er. Too ex, so my father has to chip in a large proportion haha. But the food was tasty. Giving it a 7 / 10. Because some dishes are healthy too which is what my mom emphasises on.

I also pray that God will continue to bless her.

Meeting up with old friends.

Back to SJI because there's CLS activity. Initially, I hoped to visit the teachers but only Wen Lao Shi was there. They are busy. Yao Rong and Hong Kai was there.

After the activity ended, we headed aimlessly and landed in the Central. We had our lunch there and Yao Rong said that he is afraid of height, which might be joking. Haha. Actually, it is me who is somewhat scared of height.

Talking about fear. I don't like the feeling of slipping off something, the feeling of my legs in the air and height bah.

Then, I learnt a new sport. Squash. It's a sport that needs a fast reaction, which i might lacked.

Morning at the Airport

Was sending a mission team off at the airport. It was early. Titus, Rebekah and me decided to take a train to the airport. Rebekah and me got onto the first train of North South Line to JE. But, Mr Titus who live so near to JE station was late...haha...But we were all dead beat liaoz after helping out in the church musical the day before.

And, yup, we sent the people over. I like to thank God that the team was kept safe and seeds are sown while harvest were harvested. Glory be to the Lord!

After this, we have a breakfast in Mcdonald's in T3. We were chatting on taxis because there was a taxi stand outside Mac. There were many models and types of taxi. And, they are all taxis. They drive and then charge you. They are taxis.

Titus, Me and Rebekah aboard the Skytrain.

Move It Move It at the Zoo

This day, visited the Singapore Zoo with Zhi Yuan, En Ci, Shu Chun, Peng and Chelle.

Shu Chun will be very happy to go to her "home" haha. She's the "monkey". These are the animals we saw: according to the visiting order: parrots, crocodile, white-faced monkey (not sure), crocodile, monkeys, otters, flamingos, white tigers, chimps, pelicans, python, penguins, sea-lions, elephants, monkeys, crocodiles, jaguar, pumas, lots of unknown cats family (forget liaoz), pony, goats, horses, rabbits, guinea pigs, butterflies, lemurs, bats, mandrain ducks, stingrays, frogs, lions, giraffe, zebras, polar bears, hippos, wolfs...

And it was also an exciting trip. Except for hippos, just like in the film Madagascar, the zebra lived next to the giraffe and they are opposite from the lions. But what's most memorable is my experience with lemurs. And it taught me a lesson, nvr agitate an animal. In the Fragile Forest, I was talking to a lemur, it probably did not know I am talking to it too, " Hey, you like to move it move it" and as I walk away, it jump off to a tree beside me, or to be exact, a branch, and its toes seemed to landed on Shu Chun's head before leaping away. Luckily, no one was hurt and no direct contact was made. Haha...the lemur indeed like to "move it move it".

The otters with a smell

White Tiger licking itself

Elephants strong

One of my favourite shot.

The move it move it lemur

Grp photos with the performers.

Then, my camera went low batt....and the rest of the animals are capture in camera by others.

Iceskating Swoosh

This day, I picked up a new sport called iceskating. I am a complete noob...and I only know how to stand and learn to move slightly but not glide. Yet, it's an eyeopener. Luckily, i am not the iceopener. Haha. Ok lame.

Zhen Wei initiated the activity. Huang Peng was the teacher. And surprisingly, Yi Le came! Kallang Leisure Park was in an ulu place. Haiz, because JEC closed for renovation if not might be closer lehz. But anyway, it was an awesome experience with Peng, Zhen Wei, Jian Ming, Yi Le and Zhi Qi.
