Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me....
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now, I see.
T'was Grace that taught...my heart to fear.
And Grace, my fears relieved.
How precious did that Grace appear...
the hour I first believed.
Through many dangers, toils and snares...
we have already come.
T'was Grace that brought us safe thus far...
and Grace will lead us home.
Outing 16/17 Sep. '05
Destination: Sean's House
Agreed to meet 2215. Then due to some unforseen delays, loon, sean and nesh met about 2300 and travelled to Sean's house through service 852. Then terrence was the latest because he got something on. He reached about 0100 (17 Sep). So poor thing, no bus and have to walk all the way from bukit batok mrt station. Anyway, we slacked at Sean house for sometime before all of us decided to head (walk) to al ameen at 0200 for supper Then there was slight drizzle and all of us ran to avoid the big rain. sean ate a large bowl of something goreng and was bloated with some drinks as well. After supper was about 0300 when we decided to head down to pool factor. But it was closed. And we walked back to sean's house. At sean's house, we crapped a lot and then finally went into lala land at 0500 and woke up at 0900. After that, then made our individual journey home.
Outing 14 Sep. '05Destination: Bukit Timah Nature ReserveMet at e mac. at KAP.. Had lunch and den set off for the nature reserve. Took a cab.. Taxi driver was nice. Allowed five of us in as it was a short journey. Wanted to take a pic. on a stone near e visitor centre but camera screwed up.. So we gaf up. Took one instead wif e tiger.. Decided to go on a detour first; to a granite quarry nearby first. On e way, dere was a 'playground'.. Naturallly we went to play and haf fun. =) We wandered on until we found a dirt bike track and found e quarry! Spent quite alot of time dere takin pics.. Group shots, individual shots for everyone and e scenery. We even had a short video-takin session, starrin sean, terrence and jonathan.. It was so hilarious! LOLZ.. Well, gettin back, we set off for our real quest; to conquer Bukit Timah hill. Mind u, not by e easy path but via e off-track way.. Sean and terrence set off as scouts first whilst jonathan, loon and daryl travelled at a slower pace (mainly to take photos of e tracks and e greenery). Used walkie talkies to contact each group.. Main highlight; saw three caves along e way. Jonathan, loon and daryl took a pic. dere together.. ;) Nth much but pics. and more pics. for e slower grp..Well, to make thins short, sean and terrence managed to find their way to e submit. However, jonathan, loon and daryl got lost.. Followin an old man, jonathan and loon walked straight instead of climbin a flight of stairs at a crossroad. Daryl was behind takin pics. as well but was informed by jonathan to take e same path as he and loon took. After a very long period and havin to squeeze wif huge crowds of sch children, they realized they were lost.. Jonathan and loon waited for daryl to find 'em before headin back. Poor jonathan.. Under e effect of medication, he struggled but was determined to scale e hill. After much sweats and rest periods, they reached the top of e hill together.. Took a short break dere. And took a group shot at e rock bearin e words 'Bukit Timah Summit' as a prove we've done it.. We're proud conquerors of Bukit Timah hill! Climbin down e hill was a breeze compared to goin up.. We den left e place, where we nt only had fun but also where we bonded closer as friends. However, the day's surprises ainT over yet.. We saw monkeys further up. So cute they were, esp. a small one wif a funny 'hairstyle'.. Took some pics. of 'em before leavin. Had pratas and milo and bandung 'dinosaur'.. Then jonathan left and the remainin three went to play pool at 'pool factor' until almost 2000. And dat marks e end of a great day.. =)
