It was finally 28 February and we were gonna have our Seventh-Day Adventist combined youth meeting at Botanical Gardens! Its actually a youth outing where the youth from all the 7 Adventist churches in Singapore are involved in. All of us went there by chartered buses which is sponsored by the church. This is the first time our youth is taking actually booking a chartered bus all to ourselves! Lol. 20 of us showed up this time.
Chuan Hoe Church youth was I think the earliest at Botanical Gardens. We reached there around 2.40pm. The meeting was gonna start at 3pm. So we kinda lazed around first. But then it started to drizzle! But it just continued to drizzle.
I tried to touch this swan but was scared it would bite me fingers =x
Even when our song service started at about 3.15pm the sky was REALLY REALLY dark, and getting even darker. It was like one big alien spaceship floating over us.
After the song service we played some games. And at about 3.45pm it started to pour like the Niagara Falls. So we all rushed to the shelter nearby and continued our program there. But omg it was really messy. I think around 80++ of us had to squeeze inside that small shelter with water sipping in through the roof at certain spots. Everyone was quite wet and probably felt uneasy. The place was echoey so whenever anyone tried to talk he/she had to race against the sound of the rain and people talking here and there.
The talk session lasted until about 5pm. Then after that the rain got lighter. The meeting ended and everyone started to disperse. But the Chuan Hoe youth stayed behind. We were going out for dinner! Our youth group photo below.
For this round's youth outing, the Chuan Hoe youth were in charged of the food. So we bought all sorts of things like the muffins you see below, donuts, curry puffs, koropok, etc.
And today we went to Discovery Centre! Outing after outing hehe. Seriously Discovery Centre isn't THAT interesting, as I kinda expected. I went before but that was like during primary school. The place ain't that big, there aren't crowds on a Sunday for some reason, and there isn't really a lot of things to discover, if you actually compare it with the Singapore Science Centre. It mainly consists of games that a group of people can play together. There's dancing, puzzle solving games, simple computer games, etc.
At least our $15 tickets came with 2 movies to watch. One was some pointless cartoon, another one was about mummies in Egypt which at least we did learnt quite a lot of things from that.
We were all so hungry. All bought hotdogs!
3D animated movie. The expression on that caucasian girl's face is priceless.
There's this small lake outside the Discovery Centre and with $2 you can have a 15 minute boat rental. After getting onto it we started banging into each other's boats. Rofl...
This was on the way back from Discovery Centre to Jurong Point. Hydon dozed off within minutes!
We had lunch at Jurong Point at the Kopitiam. After that we walked around a little and accompanied Hydon to his Andersons icecream stall. Half of us bought icecreams. I ate about 2/3 of my chocolate icecream and gave the rest to Chuen Rong. Omg felt like I was gonna have diabetes right at that moment. Too sweet already! And yeah the rain was pouring madly at that time. After that it was home sweet home.
Our next gathering will be our coming church chalet from 13 to 16 March at Aloha Changi!! =D
