20191210_Beautiful Night Scene of Singapore @MBS - Bumboat Ride! Bicentennial Christmas at St Andrews Cathedral

10th Dec 2019 : View from our Bum Boat A MBS (laser Lights at 8PM)

Panaroma View at Suntec City 
 Panorama view at MBFC (Financial Centre)
 A glimpse at the Art Museum from the waters


Bird's eye view from the mouth of the Spore River




After the simple dinner at Merchant Court Hotel from 6:15-7:20pm, the coach took us to Clark Quay for the BumBoat Ride.

Surprising the crowd was pretty good for a Tue evening! Long queque but fast moving as there were about 12 boats which could take 30-40 per boat. 
Amazing view from under the bridges.
By about 8pm, we arrived at MBS just in time to catch the laser lights!

We hardly get to see MBFC from the waters...so here are the great vantage views.

The bum boat ride was about 40 min to and fro.
Thereafter, we hopped on to the coach again to our next destination!
The newly renovated Raffles Hotel which was re-opened only in Aug 2019.

Some of the tourists went to the LongBar for their Singapore Sling. But for the rest of us - we had a mini-tour of the place.
A stay in this place would cost more than S$1k! WoW.  This reminded me of our stay at Mahaphajit Hotel in Surabaya! Built by the same architect of Raffles Hotel - and we paid only S$150 thereabout! (Same design concept)

By 10pm, the tour was over!

MANY THANKS TO SY & C and Little Anna for the excellent invite of this night tour cum dinner!

We played tourists in our own little home of Singapore.

And guess what?

The RAIN started pouring when we were at Raffles Hotel!

So thankful to the Lord Jesus for holding back this downpour while we were on the bum boat at the Singapore River!
Not only did we enjoy a cool breezy nite ,we manage to take clear excellent night shots along the way!

GOD IS GOOD , ALL THE TIME!



Little Red Dot is celebrating bicentennial in 2019.  Sir Stamford Raffles set foot on shore in 1819.  So 200 hundred years has passed us by.

On 13/12/19, St Andrew's cathedral celebrated bicentennial Christmas too with some major VIP and other interfaith religious leaders being invited (800 over guests) And our PM leeder was invited as the Guest Of Honour (GOH)
Well located in the heart of the city centre of red dot, St Andrew Cathedral was also the site of many historic events.  Today it is also an icon tourist attraction.


I remember back in 2015, this same PM  was invited as 'GOH" to our Day of Jubilee Prayer at the Sports Stadium. Red Dot celebrated her 50th independence. And that new stadium boast of housing 55,000 people.

The above Handel Hallejujah Chorus - reminded me of who the actual real Guest of Honour 'GOH'should always be.

I am a 'Goh'. 吴 So in such important events like this, to me, this "GOH" shall always be YWHW and no other man.  In my heart, this Goh muay will always have Him not as a guest, but permanent resident King in whom I give all honour and praise to. 

My family surname 吴 (ko-Tian "WU")- oh yeah? with my mouth 'KO'  , may I remember to honour the King of the Heaven or the God of the Heaven "TIAN"   ! He is the One who deserves the Hallelujah!
