Updates(NZ, Alpha Camp, Church transfer, Christmas, Steamboat)

NZ North Island(22 Nov-10 Dec)

We went for 18 days, felt a bit too long, maybe a little shorter would be just nice.
We landed on Auckland, drove to Tauranga, to Whakatane, then to Rotorua then Waitomo, then back to Auckland. :)

Here are some pictures to share:


sceneries on the way to Tauranga



Ohope Beach Holiday Park(Whakatane)




Whale and dolphin watch(whakatane). Unfortunately, didnt manage to see any dolphins :(





Agrodome at Rotorua- Sheep show






120 Grams strawberry!!!!!!



horse riding at Tui Glen Farm, I enjoyed it the most! Horse treks through narrow slopes and river.. It's super thrilling for a beginner like me!!! actually a bit scary too cos the treks were really narrow and slippery and steep-.-



This is Thermal Village at Rotorua. :) It is really a home for the Maori people there. They used the natural thermal ground for cooking and other uses.


Waitomo Glormcaves was AWESOME! you can see millions of glowworms above you while u sail through the river in the cave... a pity that photos and videos were not allowed in the caves..



Alpha Camp(16-19 Dec)
The whole camp was enjoyable. Got to know some church people better.
1st day was games, 2nd day Amazing race, 3rd day was a fruitful day as we had prayer walk and Alpha night.

The theme verse is from Matthew : "Do not store up treasures on earth, for where the treasure is, your heart will be there also"


Church transfer(20 Dec)
Today was the baptism, church transfer ceremony. My dad and I attended the ceremony, and we are officially members of BPMC =)
Both of us got a very nice new chinese bible respectively as gifts!

Christmas(25 Dec)
was spent with a morning service in Church, followed by 1735 at Singapore Flyer Love the World. Had fellowship and exchange of gifts! I got a book from the gift exchange...lol
The meal was not very appetizing(oops).. but it was the fellowship that matters!


Steamboat(080110)

We had steamboat session at Bugis La Mei Zi, a gathering session just before school starts. Many people came! Han yong, Edmund(left halfway) clement, ralph, yiangshan, baby jo, weiqiang, sianghong, chris shen, sanche, Dr Goh, me, Jimin, yuqing.

















I'm finally done with the long update!!!! Well.... It's long to me!!!!


On a side note, I hope my stomach really gets well soon, although I'm feeling better already. I had on off on off pain continuously for the past few days. Still feels a bit weird. It had lasted for 4 days or even longer...Can you believe I paid $65 for my medical fees!!!!!!!!!!!! HEARTPAIN.
