BBQ Outing on Deepavali Day

Our cellgroup had a BBQ session at Pasir Ris Park on the Monday public holiday after Deepavali. We were all looking forward to the fellowship, the fun and of course the yummy food!

It was indeed a very memorable outing because we were greeted with heavy showers and thunders once we arrive and the pouring continued for another 2 hours and so our planned game activities were delayed. However, the rain did not stop us from continuing and we were determined to set up the fire.

The pit well sheltered by colourful umbrellas, our cg is so well-equipped!

Praise God, the rain got gradually smaller and finally ended. Its really God's blessings in disguise because the weather was very cooling after that (no sweats!) and you can just smell the fresh air, the leaves and the trees!

The YUMMY feast!

Dinner time!

Everyone brought different food, beverages and desserts along. It's a great time tucking into the delicious spread of chicken wings, satay, otah, sotong balls, beehoon, cocktail jelly etc and not forgetting Michele's curry chicken and Gregory's homemade chocolate cereal puffs!

Ambassador of the day for Greg's choc cereal puffs: Michele

We continued with the games after dinner and had a crazy time playing Wacko, Dog&Bones and guess what - bananas! Yup, we used bananas for Wacko subsequently. So for example, instead of throwing a ball during Wacko, we threw bananas at each other and you can just imagine catching hold of the poor slimy squashed up banana in the fastest manner.

Quick! Catch her! She stole the banana!

Want some bananas?

We quickly discovered who were the gifted ones for Dog&Bone game, and that's none other than Eileen and Taru! They can sprint and act soo fast that the banana is practically gone in 60 seconds, well-done ladies! :) And so, that concludes our day of fun and laughter..till next time!

Say Cheese!

Fun @ Pasir Ris Park

Noah's Ark

Man Builds Noah 's Ark (exact scale given in Bible)

Working Replica of Noah 's Ark Opened In SCHAGEN, Netherlands . The massive central door in the side of Noah 's Ark was opened the first crowd of curious townsfolk to behold the wonder. Of course, it's only a replica of the biblical Ark , built by Dutch Creationist Johan Huibers as a testament to his faith in the literal truth of the Bible.




The ark is 150 cubits long, 30 cubits high and 20 cubits wide. That's two-thirds the length of a football field and as high as a three-story house. Life-size mo dels of giraffes, elephants, lions, crocodiles, zebras, bison and other animals greet visitors as they arrive in the main hold. A contractor by trade, Huibers built the ark of cedar and pine. Biblical Scholars debate exactly what the wood used by Noah would have been.

Huibers did the work mostly with his own hands, using modern tools and with occasional help from his son Roy . Construction began in May 2005. On the uncovered top deck - not quite ready in time for the opening - will come a petting zoo, with baby lambs and chickens, and goats, and one camel.

Visitors on the first day were stunned. 'It's past comprehension', said Mary Louise Starosciak , who happened to be bicycling by with her husband while on vacation when they saw the ark looming over the local landscape.

'I knew the story of Noah , but I had no idea the boat would have been so big.' There is enough space near the keel for a 50-seat film theater where kids can watch a video that tells the story of Noah and his ark. Huibers, a Christian man, said he hopes the project will renew interest in Christianity in the Netherlands, where church going has fallen dramatically in the past 50 years.

Now that I am old and gray...give me the time to tell this new generation (and their children too) about all your mighty miracles. Psalm 71:18

11th Oct is a beautiful day, another milestone to mark in n116 and in Daniel's..

This is the day that Daniel and Shaoqing tie the knot at the Arts House, in the sight of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, and their beloved family, relatives, friends and members of their cell group.


While we waited, the angels got ready..

P.S. There's a lot more photos to upload...

Maad Market Outing

We headed to Maxwell market for lunch after service on Sunday and dropped by the Red Dot Museum thereafter to visit Michele who had a stall selling her own handmade jewellery at the Maad Market Bazaar. This is a bazaar that showcase local designers and their handicraft and is held during the first weekend of every month at Red Dot Museum. Michele had a very strategic location, we can see her well laid-out stall and all her beautiful jewellery the moment we enter the building. 

All the pretty stuff: Charm bracelets, earrings, necklaces etc

This entrepreneurial gal had been selling handmade jewellery on her blog for some time and take part in bazaars occasionally to market her wares. The impressive thing is that her jewellery making skills are all self-taught...now that's what we call a God given talent! Do visit her blog at http://www.inspiraegallery.blogspot.com
