Swimming @ SengKang Sports Complex

Our church went for swimming last night! About 20 people turned up this time. Not as many as badminton night the other time. Haha. I guess badminton is more appealing.


Dinner at church.



Sadly Hydon couldn't join us for swimming as his hand is still injured. Fell long ago and somehow there's this constant aching inside. Told us he's most probably gonna recourse in his firefighter training. Extra 3 months. Hopefully he doesn't get thrown out of course!


Didn't get to take many photos as all our valuables were all inside the locker. Although the slides look small they were very fun I tell ya! The purple and yellow tubes you see below are like supersonic. Once you enter it the water pressure behind you pushes you like a tidal wave all the way down. Halfway I even tried to turn around and go head first but I didn't have any chance at all lol.


The olympic pool


The pool compound officially closes at 9.30pm but at 8.30pm onwards the slides stopped functioning. And at 9pm onwards the lifeguards started beeping us out of the pools. So all of us went to shower.




All of us enjoyed the swimming so much. Next social --> Badminton in January 09!

Youth Outing at Marina

Finally I can post on Chuan Hoe Seventh-day Adventist Church Blog. Anyway, back to the outing.

We met at 9.30am on Sunday at Marina MRT Station. Took the shuttle bus to the Marina Barrage, walked up the "path" which actually was two narrow concrete paths with a grass path in the middle. Cow grass. The view at the top was quite nice.. Ate the sandwiches Orielle, Frank, Rachel and Suresh made. Orielle made egg sandwiches, Suresh made chicken and cheese sandwiches and something fried, Frank and Rachel made peanut butter sandwiches. Ate the sanwiches, then we took some pictures. Jumping mostly. The photos would be below.

After taking photos, we proceeded down to the exhibits. After the exhibits, we went to the barrage itself. Joseph and Suresh to waved the the water cleaners(don't know what they are called). Hydon sat down at first, the proceeded to lie down. Claims that it is very comfortable. Talked. Played some songs. Then we made our way to the shuttle bus stop. Saw 4 sport cars at the car park.
Frank and Suresh went to Lao Pa Sa in Terrence's Car. The rest of us took the shuttle bus and then MRT. Took the mrt to city hall? Walked to Lao Pa Sa. Poor Shawn got a fright of his life when he didn't see the car coming straight at him when he was crossing the road. Arrived at the market, we went to order our food. Orielle brought the girls walking around to choose their food. Suresh bought ice, winter melon ice. Which consisted of mostly ice.. Shawn bought something similiar. Terrence had to go off to meet his friends. Then after the food there was an ice-shooting fight among the guy's table. Then it spreaded to the girl's table too. One stray shot hit some stranger. Then they all decided to stop.

Went to the bus stop, I asked IRIS when the next bus would come. 12 mins. long wait. luckily I found a wireless to smooch on :P the bus came then we went on.

Reached the bus-stop at Suntec City, took photos at this sculpture. Discussed awhile on whether to jay-walk across the 6-lane road. Decided to take the underpass though. Went into Marina Square, walked to the bowling alley. One game $4.30. Too expensive.. decided to go and play arcade and pool. Broke Shi Rong's arcade free record!lol. Shawn played the drums and the girls in our group were standing behind him looking in awe of his drum-hitting skill. The other guys went to play Datona Rally. Shi Rong somehow managed to win Frank, SURESH, Joseph and get first place. I forgot who else played. Shawn somehow managed to attract people when he plays the arcade. Frank has a video of him dancing to the game ParaParaParadise I think.

Suresh, Frank, Joseph and Shawn played pool. Joseph's first time.

After everything, We went our seperate ways and went home. More youth outings planned! Going to post photos tomorrow morning.
