Hello citizens of David! The Calling, the YPM Ubin Hike was truly awesome. I think I learnt quite a lot about mission work and how to reach out to people in a foreign land. Seriously! I really enjoyed myself with the group and it was a great experience. Praise God for a great time =)Pictures!!
On the boat, making our way to "People's Republic of Ubin"! Jasmine is blocked.
So we tried taking another one but now Dexter is blocked!
So we tried AGAIN. This time we asked a nice uncle to help us take the photo so that I could be in the photo too. But Glenn bullied Tai Wei. So we don't have any nice picture of us on the boat. Bleh. Haha. OH! Shi Ri joined our group for the hike! She was a bit crazy la. But it was fun! Haha.
Our second stop! Cooking Maggi Mee to appease the cannibal villagers so that they won't eat Faith and Marcus!! The noodles tasted quite good I must say =D Oh I don't have pictures of the first station cos..... Hahaha. Ask me if you want to know the story. Sorry soldiers! We love you =)
Four of our guys having lunch on a nice big rock. The scenery rocks! Zhi Rong, the station master, is camera shy (ya right. Haha.)
Walk walk walking to our next station. Really nice, kampung environment. Ok the pictures are a bit small here. I'll put them on Facebook too =)
Building a church out of newspapers and straws. Our building was cool lor. TOTALLY!
BIG spider *shudders*
On top of the super high tower. SCARY! Congrats to all the girls who overcame their fear of heights and made it to the top. The guys were very encouraging =) If you look closely, you can see an aeroplane flying past somewhere above Tai Wei's head. Haha.
Cek Jawa. Awesome scenery. Shot #1: Happy!
Shot #2: Silly!
Shot #3: BULLY!!!
You would never expect to see such nice scenery in Singapore. Yes. Pulau Ubin is still considered Singapore. It felt peaceful to soak in the surroundings.
Monitor Lizard? Iguana? Komodo dragon? Dinosaur?I also don't know. Haha. Some reptile with a long tail la.
This "woof woof" was the last thing we saw before we left the island. So cute. So blissful. So sleepy. Yawn......
By the time we were done with our long trek around the island, we were exhausted and our legs were aching. But! I think it was a worthwhile experience. We are so super blessed in Singapore that many times, we fail to realise how fortunate we are to have all the things that we have. God has given us A LOT. There are so many people around the world who have not even a quarter of the things we have - food, money, education, a family, the freedom to praise God anytime we want.... God has been good to us. How will you use what He has given you to serve and glorify Him?
July is Missions Emphasis Month for our church. Let us always remember that God has called us ALL to missions and let's try to learn as much as we can during July. I will share more about this with all of you when July comes. In the meantime, keep thanking God for His blessings and remember to bless those around you as well =)
