Christmas in Singapore 2010

2010's Christmas was indeed another memorable and enjoyable holiday I had. Last year was a dream came true holiday. I has always wanted to celebrate Christmas in Singapore since young. I have always heard people telling me how beautiful Singapore is during Christmas every year. Unfortunately I can always thought but it has never really materialize. Again it was possible with Jeremy around.

I told him how badly I wanted to go Singapore ever since I knew him. Due to tight schedules, we had actually put the plans on hold. However, he made an effort to book a Holiday Golf Resort and thank God for being able to book it for free! It means we get to stay there for 3 days 2 nights for FREE! Hooray! This time he took his family along.

All of us had a great time. We went to the following places:

1) Singapore Zoo
2) Orchard Road
3) Universal Studio
4) Bugis Street

I was once again fascinated by animals at the Singapore Zoo just like the one I enjoyed in Melbourne. Guys..should make a trip there be it young or old..very educational!

Dear was so reluctant when I asked him to do this...



He's in action....



This boy was feeding the White Rhinosaurus during the feeding time



Fruits were the food for them



This keeps me thinking until today...KFC adopts Zebra??




Orchard during Christmas 2011

Things are expensive there if we actually factor in conversion rate. I did not buy manage to buy anything because of that. However, there was this one place which I must buy something for remembrance.Yes...I am referring to Universal Studio.




Manage to grabbed them before it started raining heavily

Food court just like Jurassic Park


This Rex thingy cost SGD17++


This Egypt Replica really fascinates me

Thank God we bought the entrance ticket about 3 weeks earlier. We bought it online or we might end up with disappointments thinking we can get it on the spot. This was what happened to most of the people.

The sight of Universal Studio really caught me off-breath. It was simply beautiful. Me, Jeremy and Joel were so excited the moment we stepped our foot there. It was like entering to another land in every stops.

Please make time to enjoy all the rides there. We went there during year-end holidays and the place was packed like sardine! We waited for at least 45 minutes for each ride. The time was mostly spend on queuing but trust me...it was worth waiting.You would not want to miss any of the ride! Sadly,there were few rides we did not manage to enjoy it due to time constrain. In fact not all rides are fully operational. It will only be fully functional this year.

I plan to visit Universal Studio again one day. I am keeping my fingers crossed. After all, I just want to thank you dear for making my dream come true!

By the way...we stayed at Orchid Country Club. Nice place! We will come again Singapore!

Christmas 2010

Hello folks! Christmas was just on last week, and I would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone Merry Christmas. This was indeed a very meaningful day to be remembered. If I am not mistaken, 2010 was the third year I celebrated with Church of Praise, my church.

After the intensive practices for the last two months, it was all a success. Worship team especially the musicians has sacrificed their weekdays as well as weekends just to come for practices. Choir team has also spare their time. It was all for a reason...for our Lord, Jesus Christ. We all were united with one heart and together we gave the best to celebrate the day Christ was born.

The day started with the praise and worship by Soul Out worship team followed by performance by the youth and last but not least the sermon by Pastor Clement. It all went so well and the church was filled with people who celebrated this joyous occasion in the body of Christ, the church.

Not to forget the Christmas exchange gifts practices. The whole day was seen with people giving gifts. It was so good to see that fellow Christians out there practiced the joy of giving. This came to a point in which there were some who has prepared a big bag just to take presents home! Alright, actually it was used to store the gifts to be given and they used it later to store the gifts received.

After the Christmas service, few of the young adults went over to Tower Regency Hotel for a buffet lunch. We has a great fellowship.

Thank you brothers and sisters....you guys are great!

I personally enjoyed the fellowship with all my brothers and sisters in the church. You guys brought a lot of laughter and memories in my spiritual growth.
