Christmas Celebration at my Godparents' House




With God All are Possible


With God all are possible.... my favorite verse on the Bible.
Those pictures are taken from the top of a famous shopping centre on Orchard Road. This is reminded me to surrend all our needs to God only.
He can do all things beyond our imagination,

Where seemly no way out or impossible... God is able....
I was surprised when my friend told me... Francis, look up to that verse... it was your favorite words and also on your blog... when I looked up... I was amazed... this is indirect telling us not to depend all to our strength... With God, All are able to solve....
Have a blessed Christmas,
That with God all are possible

Clarke Quay Singapore - An Entertaiment Haven





















































Shop, eat and be entertained by the riverside! Featuring five blocks of restored warehouses, Clarke Quay offers a quirky alternative to mainstream attractions, with second-hand and antique shops and restaurants with an amazing array of F&B options. In the evenings, dance clubs and pubs come alive with music from the 1960s to the present.

Or get your dose of adrenaline rush with the G-Max Reverse Bungy! Designed and developed in New Zealand eight years ago, the G-Max is Singapore’s first extreme ride. It involves up to three people being seated in a specially designed open air steel reinforced capsule, attached by US-approved bungy cords to two towers. The cords are tightened and then released, catapulting the capsule up to 60m in the air at speeds of 200kph. The ride lasts for about 5 minutes.
Named after Sir Andrew Clarke, Singapore's second governor, Clarke Quay had been the commercial centre, where an unending stream of lighters would transport their goods upriver to the warehouses. Near the entrance to Clarke Quay on River Valley Road is Whampoa's Ice House which belonged to Hoo Ah Kay, an early immigrant from Whampoa, China who imported ice from Boston in the mid-1800s before ice-making facilities were available in Singapore. Note how the Chinese and European merchants brought their own architectural styles to the area.
