Cana Youth Diary: Day 2: Changi Chapel and BBQ

12 Dec 06 Cloudy

It was the 2nd day of the camp. All had woke up and do their , "Quiet time " and devotions. We had bread, milo and curry chicken for breakfast.
Zihui and Anna were the leaders for the devotion. Their topic was ,"How has God help you?" So everyone was sharing their experiences of how God had help them. After that, we were divided to 2 groups to do the QT sharing. And then we end with a prayer to thanks God.

We are waiting for the next program, " Visit To Changi Chapel". All were waiting for Zhiyong laoSHI mini-bus to fetch us there. We had our lunch at a coffee shop (Pasir Ris block 400+). We tried the minced pork noodles. We finished the food, leaving an empty bowl back to the stall-owner. Hungry or the food is good?

We reached the Chapel soon after lunch. However, the museum Mr Singh told us to make appointment in future if we are having a group visit. So that we do not over-crowed the place. We saw many pictures of the WW2. During the Japan Occupation, many Singaporeans, war patriots and POWs had suffered. The murals that was drawn on the changi chapel.

" In honouring the spirit and commitment of those who rose from the depths of adversity, the Museum inspires future generations to come and deepen their appreciation of the heroic and inspirational stories that unfolded in Changi during the war. The Changi Museum is dedicated to all those who lived and died in Singapore, in particular the Changi area, during the dark years of World War II.
Through documentation of significant events of the Japanese Occupation, the Museum also serves as an important educational institution and resource centre. As for the Prisoners-of-War (POWs) and their families, it is a site that allows for closure of the many emotional scars inflicted by the war years."

Back to our Chalet, we were preparing for the night BBQ. We were unhappy with the BBQ pit. It was under a tree. The rain water was dripping and the leaves were falling. And the Chalet officer changed the pit for us. We had problem starting the fire, due to the drizzing rain. However, Pastor Kwan came to the rescue. The BBQ pit fire was ready. We all enjoyed alot BBQ the chicken wing, Cheeze hotdogs, and Joel Innovative way of masmallows..... The youth group bought a mango cake for Zihui and Jacky to celebrate. The cake was filled with many candles. WOW!!!! Singing out the Birthday Song LOUD!!!!
