Chuan Hoe Seventh-Day Adventist Church: Singapore Night Safari

On Saturday morning at church we had a group of singers from Australia. 3 of them are siblings. My pastor at the very last minute knew that they were coming to Singapore. So he invited them to our church for special music.

Johnathan, Sarah & Melissa. Their mom's a Malaysian and dad's a German. Hence the surname Otto.

Their website.

Video of them singing at our church. Nice eh? They've even made their own CDs.

And in the afternoon we began our usual activites. After lunch a few of the girls had their bible study. Then after that they joined us older youth for our weekly Bible study. We went through Genesis chapters 5 to 8 that day. Really gain many new insights about the beginning of the Bible.
After Bible study we went to let out all our energy by singing. Haha. Just very casual singing. I'm not sure why or how we started singing quite a while ago. I think it started by Hydon and Olivine singing and playing the piano respectively. Then slowly I joined in, then followed by the rest of the youth, then the adults joined in. And now we're singing hymns and praises like every Sabbath afternoon.

And this is Jerome emo-ing away for who knows what reason while we're singing. Ok he claims he wasn't =P

We had dinner at church and a few of us cooked different dishes. I fried the puffs. As you can see a few of the puffs below are burnt haha.

At night, we went to night safari! This is an activity which has been planned for months already. And finally its here. Initially we only planned it to be a only-youth outing. But slowly we were thinking, why not invite the adults too, since some of them haven't even been there before and some of them for a very long time. In the end Tiffany's family turned up too. The more the merrier.

I didn't take many photos as the only bright places in the night safari were the eateries. At the animal closures the lights were very dim. My camera ain't that powerful. The creatures of the night show was really good! Although the owl showed attitude and decided to fly to some tree away from the audience, other cute cuddly animals made up for it.

The night safari was so dark that the only animal I could capture clearly with my digicam was this porcupine below.

For the rest of the night safari trail, quite a number of the animals are either sleeping or hiding somewhere in their enclosures, away from sight. So we didn't see much action at all. But there were some very cute otters who kept whining away to us wanting food haha. Yeah I shall stop talking about the night safari here as its already 1am and I have camp tomorrow!

On Sunday today we went to church again at around 9am. This time to make pineapple tarts! We're making some to give friends, buy for ourselves, and to old church members who haven't come to church for a long time. About 12 of us turned up. Did from 8am all the way until like 5pm+! There was enough of us to form a factory chain.
