Korean Snack Shop

SG & Karen went out with Belle & Wilson on 1 Jan 07. Yes, quite a while ago. Came across an interesting Korean Rice snack shop along Upper Thomson Road called Hankook Rice Cake Shop. Very authentic Korean rice snacks!

Forest Adventure

Our Care Group (aka Cell Group) had a mystery outing on 8 Sep, organised by an outdoor lover, Belle. We were told only of location (Bedok Reservoir), but not what activity. On arrival, we discovered it was the new Forest Adventure.

The Grand Course has 4 stations or 'sites'. Very safe in SG's opinion. Took us about 2.5 hours to complete everything, including repeating a good tarzan jump near the end!



Here are some highlights of our 2-plus hours of sweat, climbing & zipping down wire lines.

Stage 0 We started with some simple 'exercises', including safety practices (as we will be on our own from Stage 2-4 without supervision).

Always a challenge to try to face forward when coming down. 'cos we tend to spin & sometimes landed on our back. Here are some of our heroics!
