9 Sep 06 MacRitchie Reservoir - Tree Top Walk

We started our journey at the spot marked red and we walked one big round back to almost the same spot.

2 weeks ago, Anne, Patrick, Jay, Jon and I went to St Theresa Home to do our regular volunteer work. After that Alvin joined us for lunch and then we headed towards tree-top walk at MacRitchie Reservoir. Patrick left us for another appointment. We started at about 230pm and the sky was dark when we finished. It was indeed a long walk. It has been a long time since I walked such a long distance. If I ran, I think I can cover probably less than half the time we spent walking.


Though a long walk, I enjoyed the company and took several good pictures.


On our way back to the main reservoir, Jay and I were 'attacked' by a fierce monkey. Probably this monkey wanted to have food.

After a hard day of walking, we went to Hans' restaurant for dinner.

It has been a long time...


It has been a long time since I last wrote on my blog. Since I started work, life has been quite intense. I am currently going through a sharp learning curve in my work. Yesterday is Hope Church Singapore's 15th anniversary. Work and choir practices took up a large portion of my time last week and I was glad that the celebration service ended. We had a great celebration at Singapore Expo. I was part of the 100-people choir. I enjoyed the moment on stage. To see all on the floor worshipping God brought great joy to my heart that all the hard work was worthwhile.

I was reminded of these verses from 2 Cor. 4:16-18 recently.

Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

I thank God for what He has done in my life all these years. There are many more great years ahead ;-)
