My Son's Enlistment Day
Well, it's finally here for my son, NS (National Service) is something that every male Singaporean must go through once they turn 18. He will serve for 2 years.
I feel disappointed that I could not be there with him on his enlistment day. Parents and relatives are allowed to accompany enlistees on the first day.
But we are blessed with fantastic relatives, and I want to thank my Father-In-Law, Mother-In-Law, Sisters-In-Law and Brother-In-Law for taking care of my son making sure that he settled in comfortably in Singapore and accompanying him to Tekong.
They meet at Pasir Ris MRT station and are shuttled to Changi for a ferry ride to Palau Tekong where the BMTC (Basic Military Training Camp) is located.
A small island of about 24Sq.Km off the north-east part of Singapore.

I'm hoping to be back for his Passing Out Parade this July 14, and celebrate with him his successful start to his new phase in his adult life.

Hungry for Hawker Food!
Happy New Year everyone! My first post of the year, might as well be a post about food!
Just hungry for some good old hawker type food from Singapore. Found a website called Rasa Malaysia, there are full of recipes there.
Was looking to make Chwee Kueh, but stumbled upon the Chai Tow Kway and Fried Egg with Preserved Turnip.
I'll have to find the Preserved Turnip from the Asian supermarket over here first.
Anyway, here is a link to the site - Rasa Malaysia
Enjoy!

Ondeh Ondeh!
So, feeling nostalgic, so I'll be making Ondeh Ondeh either tonight or tomorrow.
Bought all the ingredients, except for Gula Melaka, so I'll substitute it with dark brown sugar. Also, I'm using Pandan leaves extract instead of the leaves.
Anyway, was watching this video from a Singapore family preparing Ondeh Ondeh for Mother's Day at Salvation Army.

There Is A Day...
What a wonderful worship song.
Lyrics:
There is a day
That all creation's waiting for
A day of freedom and liberation for the earth
And on that day
The Lord will come to meet His bride
And when we see Him
In an instant we'll be changed
The trumpet sounds
And the dead will then be raised
By His power
Never to perish again
Once only flesh
Now clothed with immortality
Death has now been
Swallowed up in victory
Chorus:
We will meet Him in the air
And then we will be like Him
For we will see Him as He is
Oh yeah
Then all hurt and pain will cease
And we'll be with Him forever
And in His glory we will live
Oh yeah, Oh yeah
So lift your eyes
To the things as yet unseen
That will remain now
For all eternity
Though trouble's hard
It's only momentary
And it's acheiving
Our future glory

Another View of Singapore
From the 60th Floor of UOB Plaza, was at the Si Chuan Dou Hua Restaurant. I think the view from another angle would be of the Bay, Suntec,...

truly 10,000 reasons!
[Chorus]
Bless the Lord, O my soul
O my soul
Worship His holy name
Sing like never before

Whatever may pass, and whatever lies before me
Let me be singing when the evening comes

O my soul
Worship His holy name
Sing like never before

Your name is great, and Your heart is kind
For all Your goodness I will keep on singing
Ten thousand reasons for my heart to find

O my soul
Worship His holy name

Still my soul will sing Your praise unending
Ten thousand years and then forevermore
