National Day Hike

August 9 is Singapore's National Day.  Because of the public holiday, this year we had a church outing, a hike at Macritchie Reservoir.

We opened with an exhortation and singing, led by Cornelius Boon.


During the first part of our hike we all stayed together and went to the tomb of Lim Bo Seng, a World War II hero in the fight against the Japanese.

From there we split into two groups based on how far we wanted to hike.

We ended with lunch together.

For those in the U.S. who told me you like pictures of the food!
This is nasi lemak.  This picture includes a fried chicken wing; white rice
cooked in coconut milk and water; otah (fish mixed with chilli paste)
served on a banana leaf; a cucumber slice; a fish cake; a packet
of peanuts and anchovies; and a packet of chilli sauce.
(Thanks to Yoon Chuan for the description!)
