To Grow in Faith and in Action!

Hello people!





I'm finally here to post the pictures from last week's outing to Pulau Belakang Mati (aka Sentosa Island)!!

Fyi, in the 70s, the Singapore Tourism Board decided to change the name from Pulau Belakang Mati to Sentosa because Mati doesn't sound very ominous for a tourist spot. Sentosa means tranquil in Malay. But true to it's original name, Sentosa's Fantasy Island and Asian Village had fatalities because of the lack of safety in its rides.

We had to go and take pictures with several landmarks on the island like the Merlion and all.





My group had me, Yu Xun, Yi Wei and Sheena. The amazing thing was that we managed to complete the checkpoints and finish first but we did not take the tram or bus or anything!





Well, it was partly because we didnt manage to catch the tram and were not patient enough to wait for it either. -_-





Anyway, here are some of the the pics that didnt have bad lighting!










One of the checkpoints: The toilet near Imbiah Station.







At the bridge to the southernmost point of continental Asia








CoffeeBean at Beach Station. If u noticed, the smile sorta faded coz we made a mistake and ended up walking back there from Siloso Beach.








Siloso Beach... Taking breather after walking there from Beach Station (again) and getting caught by Angie's Group








Underwater World! Everyone looks a bit stoned.








Fort Siloso! Smile all around coz they were finally sitting down =)







At some octogonal snake-themed hut.... This was after the very winding Dragin Trail we had to take...








Last stop! Butterfly Park! It's Denise's finger you see that's 'chopping' off Yi Wei & Sheena's head. -_- Some people just can't seem to grow up.




Haha.

Headed down to Imbiah Station and had well-deserved Movenpick ice cream!

Found out that Angie's team was already there, looking well-relaxed and all. That's because they took the tram and bus half the time.

Anyway, it was a very fruitful day coz it's actually my first visit to Pulau Belakang Mati (aka Sentosa Island) in this Millenium!

And thanks to the organiser for the day Angie for a job well done!





Now, to the next part of my post...

Have any of you heard of this thing called Google Earth before?

It's actually a satellite technology by Google that takes pictures of Earth from its satellite and transmits it to this program.

It's uber cool I tell you, you can have a bird-eye's view of things like the road leading to the Eiffel Tower to a !Kung Bushman village in the Saharan area to each ship in the sea and all!

The best thing is, it's absolutely free!

(Note: It's not live-time videos... It's actually photographs pieced together by the people at Google and forming maps. Some photographs are taken ages ago and aren't updated yet...)

Anyway, I was toying around with the Google Earth coz I was sorta like clearing my desktop and I had this thing for like a long time but didn't bother to use it.

With it, I saw where Man United play football, where I ate Fish and Chips in Fremantle, Australia, where Ying Jian studies in Japan, where I live, and most of all...

I saw our church!!!




Here's a picture of the area of our church... I highlighted where Serangoon Stadium is to give u guys a clue to find our church... Click on pic to enlarge.



Here's a further zoom of the area. Looks familiar?








It should be, coz it's the way we walk out of church every week!









Close-up of our church itself! (Cool eh!)







And this is our 301 room!






Here's a pic of the region near our church. Try spotting it. (Click on image to enlarge)








I bet this is something you didn't know obout our church:

The blue tiles of our building is actually unique for kilometers around! So you just spot the blue-tiled roof and voila! That's our church! (Look at the pic below, I drawn a thin arrow to indicate where our church is!

Cheers,

Kelvin

P.S. I've updated the blog in every way I can (from activities to posts), hope you guys can also update hor!

yozz.. i'm here to post a few pictures.. haha.. taken on 7 July 2007.. nice date..



Guess whose picture is being taken.. This pic is taken by the 'paparazzi'..

Don't be shocked by the next photo..


Someone enjoying herself while playing the game at Sentosa..

hmm.. haha.. that's all the photos stored in my phone.. wanna share some first.. the others are with the other paparazzis.. so gotta get it from them.. no worries.. more coming up later.. anyway.. gotta take this chance and do some 'sharing'..

Really thank God for this great outing.. Encountered real bad weather in the morning.. so hopes were sort of dashed when we had to consider to go ahead with the wet weather plans.. but after prayers were made by many 'prayer warriors'.. the grey skies just sort of disappeared.. so 1st lesson learnt from this outing.. prayers powers.. really powerful..
Secondly.. thank Angie for this wonderful planning.. guessed all of us had a tired day.. but we enjoyed it a lot.. thanks!! =) Really glad that new friends get to join us today.. Special thanks to them.. hopefully they would turn up more often in BSF..

Give thanks to Him.. He made everything possible..

Glory to the Lord!!!
Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young,
but set an example for the believers in speech,
in life, in love, in faith and in purity.
1 Timothy 4:12
