hello dudes and dudettes (: this was what happened during the two informal outings, one outing at bukit timah hill and the other outing at henderson wave.
thursday (5/3/2009): brandon, taby, sheng and i went to bukit timah nature reserve! brandon was injured, i was sick, taby is the little kid (we call her the creature) and sheng was the only healthy and fit adult.
when we arrived at the BTH (bukit timah hill) taby first sentence was "i know bukit timah hill very well" all of us just followed her lead, WHOAAA. she walks ultra fast and she stops every 5m to check out FUNGI? haha! so anyway, reaching the different check points and summit were really really easy. but trekking down from the summit was the difficult part.
while we were trekking down, we realized that there were 3 paths for us to take. brandon wanted to go left, taby wanted to go right. hence, we followed taby's lead. taby was a fantastic tour guide, she had a wide knowledge about the plants and she was keen on widening her knowledge. (anyone who is interested in finding out more about the type of trees and flowers, please go to her :D )
anyway, on the way down, we got lost at the diary farm road. we thought we were reaching civilization (the visitors centre) but actually we were heading towards the expressway. we just kept on walking and walking. finally, we realized that we were not going in the right way and the only way back into the nature reserve (taby's civilization) was to climb over this huge long gang. brandon and sheng assisted taby and i while crossing over the DANGER ZONE. real gentlemen (: we spotted taby's bathing place, which was a huge water tank in the middle of nowhere.
we had trekked for a long period of time and could not seem to find a way out. brandon and taby were dehydrating. brandon was seeing DOUBLE? and taby had a headache. we had no choice but to keep moving. [i'm glad my clorets helped brandon's dehydration HURR HURR] thank God that we spotted a pond that had fresh clean water, hence everyone drank up and carried on trekking. HURRAY!
we finally reached and we started at 11am and finished the whole entire course at 3.30pm. oh yeah, before that, sheng and brandon could not stop feeding the monkeys with biscuits?!! tsk tsk.
saturday (7/3/2009): chuan fa, brandon, taby and i went for the henderson wave excursion!! before we entered the henderson wave, there were 2 paths we could choose. haha! again, taby said, "i know this place" hence she wanted to go to the right, but i preferred the left path because it stated HENDERSON WAVE TRACK. plus, thinking about what happened during the bukit timah hill walk, brandon and i felt rather uncertain about taby's words. HAHA!
the scenery was really beautiful, theres no words to describe it. when you're there, you can see it for yourself. nature is indescribable.
of course, i have a video of taby and brandon fighting!! woo!! it was really funny when brandon, suddenly and randomly, used a plastic bottle to hit tabys head. and the WAR started. goodness, chuan fa and i could not stop laughing as taby began running after brandon. brandon's cynical laughter and taby's voice made the scene even funnier.
the photos of the 2 walks are found in: http://gs92.photobucket.com/groups/l33/F1DFNKHK97/
this walk was relatively simple as compared to the one at bukit timah hill nature reserve. but all in all, i had the quality time to bond with my cellgroup mates as well as church friends. (:
sometimes, physical activities allow you to see a different side of people. [:
i love bonding activities and would really like to encourage the entire cell to do such activities together. i believe if you can make time for your friends, you are able to make time for your cell group mates. you will never regret the time spent together.
yes? guys, during the holidays, take this time to grow in the knowledge of God's Word as well as grow deeper in the relationship with Him.
