Capon

Ate a castrated rooster at the Bible Society's fund-raiser at the Meritus Mandarin when WindWorkz performed for the 4th time in August.

Didn't know what it was when I ate it - thought it was just chicken... It's supposed to be extra tender... knowing what it is now doesn't help... just some fowl thoughts... :P

FYI - on the menu.. the main course reads
Baked French Yellow Capon filled with Foie Gras & Chestnut,
Sauteed Cepe & Chanterelles Mushrooms,
Vine tomato filled with Organic Rice Quinoa,
Green Asparagus

Lory Loft - Jurong Bird Park

Went to the Bird Park with the Asher and Phoebe.

The last time we went was when Phoebe was one plus. I was pretty impressed with the Lory Loft, where the colourful birds were allowed to fly freely and perch on us.

Joined the choir

Sam and I decided to serve in the John Wesley choir.  
Our first time with the choir today singing our very first choir anthem - "He raised me up"...

43 years of Independence!

Prayer for Singapore:

Almighty God. You have given us this beautiful island of Singapore as our heritage. Make us remember Your generosity and help us to constantly do Your will. Bless our land with honest industry, truthful education, and an honorable way of life. Save us from violent, discord, and confusion, from pride and arrogance, and from every evil course of action. Make us a united people. Defend our liberties and give those whom we have entrusted with authority of government the spirit of wisdom, that there might be justice in our beloved land. When times are prosperous, let our hearts be thankful; and in troubled times, do not let our trust in You fail. Bless our land with your Word. Bless Your church so that her life becomes a living testimony of Your Gospel. We ask all this through Jesus Christ our Lord, Saviour and King. Amen.


The Brickers met today at Ann's place and studied Daniel 7. I was reminded that when God says something more than once it is importance and was also reminded that only God's kingdom is eternal and that as saints, we have a part in God's kingdom.

Maurind made us a special drink to celebrate National Day. God bless Singapore!

080808 - Top Table

A few good friends gathered for a good meal at the Top Table, Temasek Culinary Academy. There was lots of laughter and catching up. It was a special day - the eve of National Day, which also happened to be the day of Opening Ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
