New Year Kick-Off Party

Filed under: BarCap, Going out — hendrikch @ 11:26 pm

What did you do to start the new year? There are many ways, but my department kicked off the year with a party, in a pub (The Chamber at Robertson Walk) naturally.

We had games

Food obviously, and the food was surprisingly good that night, with spring rolls, prawn, sausages, mushroom, chicken, and beef skewers, chicken wings, drumsticks, fish, so many I didn’t even try all of them.

As in any event, you need someone to hold the mic

to do some awards presentation

And lots more.

But one thing for sure, everyone enjoyed the night. Let’s hope that would kick off a good year ahead ^.^

Southern Ridges Walk to Henderson Waves to Vivo City

Filed under: Going out, Personal Ramblings — hendrikch @ 2:23 pm

After a tiring and not-enough-sleep weeks, I have no idea how on earth I agreed to join for a morning walk to Southern Ridges instead of sleeping at home.

Let’s strike a pose before we all started walking.

We started the walk from Southern Ridges, just opposite Hort Park, walking through the very long bridge towards Vivo City. The bridge was so long, sometimes I wonder if I get lost. Then I saw this sign.

 

hmmm… If I take this staircase to exit to earth, where am I now?

Slightly over half an hour later, we had walked through the whole long bridge to the first checkpoint.

Soon after, we reached Henderson Waves, a structure that was made to look like waves. When you’re there, beware of crazy and wild animal like this one.

The complete gang who sacrificed their sleeping time for a walk in the morning. Ten of us, nine in the picture, one behind the camera hihihi …

We finally reached Vivo City close to 12pm, and what’s else were on our mind but not lunch? *sluurrrpp*

Lunch at Ichiban Sushi

Filed under: Going out — hendrikch @ 1:17 pm

On her way from Sydney to Jakarta, Grid stopped by Singapore for two weeks. Before she went off to Jakarta, we went to IMM to have lunch at Ichiban Sushi.

About the start of our lunch, our table looked decent.

I had Beef Sukiyaki for my lunch there.

And here’s what was left after our lunch. Don’t underestimate girls, *sometimes* they ate a lot hoho…

Some random shots in Orchard

Filed under: Going out, GRIIS — hendrikch @ 1:25 pm

During the week in leading to our Christmas Gospel Rally, many of us went around Orchard, finding Indonesians who are still in Singapore on Sunday, and we invited them to come to this Gospel Rally. While walking around Orchard Road, I didn’t miss the opportunity to snap some pictures.

Ian and Akbar with their flyers to be distributed.

Anyone dare to challenge this chess grand master in a game of speed chess? Each person has 3 minutes total for the game. The person who ran out of time or get their king checked-mate loses. It’s amazing to see they play the game where each move required only 2-10 seconds.

Some random shots I took in Orchard

Sports Day

Filed under: Going out, GRIIS — hendrikch @ 1:12 pm

Young adults fellowship from Reformed Evangelical Church (Singapore) didn’t waste the public holiday given to do some activities. This time we gathered in former School of Physical Education Bukit Timah to do sports together. We booked four badminton, one volleyball, and one basketball court for a full three hours.

The turn out was great, and people were certainly enjoying the fun.

Girls played with smile

Guys, well, were serious and competitive

Me? I probably picked the shuttlecock more than I play hehe…

For volleyball, some were really serious.

Some simply looked funny.

And finally some were there to snap pictures.

After burning our calories in sports, nothing is better than having a good lunch ;-)

Gathering at Ivory heights

Filed under: Going out, GRIIS, Personal Ramblings — hendrikch @ 3:25 pm

To celebrate Dewi’s freedom from her exam, as well as early Christmas, she volunteered herself to cook dinner for many people. There were about a dozen people invited, including me *of course* to her house for dinner and games last Friday.

Games including Uno Stacko

Mini Mahjong

and Mickey Mouse Monopoly

Dinner were pasta with LOTS of cheese and vegetables, then carrot and potato soup, with chocolate cake for desserts. You can tell how delicious the soup was that Alvin finished a BIG bowl.

It was a very fun evening, especially when Akbar dropped the Uno Stacko that went to 29 layers if I didn’t count wrongly.

Thanks to all who came and especially to those who have prepared the dinner for all of us :-D Arigatouuuu……

Dinner at Holland Village

Filed under: Dining, Going out — hendrikch @ 10:33 pm

After Sunday service, on Sunday of course, I met with my old time high school friend, Tobias, a.k.a Bobo. I went there with Ad and his wife, Marselyn, Ko Effendy, and Fonny. Tobias went there with Shihoko and another high school friend of ours, Reza.

I have not met Tobias since high school days, during which he went to States for study, and now is teaching political science at Universitas Pelita Harapan in Jakarta. Shihoko herself is trying to get a job as a nurse in Singapore, wish her well. Reza, well, still works in Microsoft and probably won’t be going out anytime soon. After more than 10 years of not seeing Tobias, he certainly has not changed much. Neither did I, I guess.
