Our own " Amazing Quest"


Sanctuary Expedition
This rousing event kicked off just after the common test in June 2012.
Buddhist temples in Toa Payoh area with different tradition and practice are selected for the
tour. These temples include Lian Shan Shuang Lin Monastery,Burmse Buddhist Temple,Sri
Lankaramaya Buddhist Temple and Buddha Dhamma Mandala Society. It was a wonderfully
sunny day with a clear blue sky and everybody was enjoying a two-week holiday with immense
relish.

08:00-08:30
Registration went smoothly, followed by F&B session:a loaf of bread and a cup of coffee to
invigorate our participants.

08:30-09:30
The organizers briefed members about the tour. Several ice-breaking games went on to warm up the contestants and many of their talents unveiled.

09:30-10:15
The actual fantabulous tour flagged off and the clues for each temple have given out.

10:15-15:00
In the scorching heat of June, tricky clues have made some of the participants ponder seriously where their allocated temple is and often led them to wrong places. Nevertheless, all of them were welcomed and treated with courageous smile by our friendly station leaders upon their arrival to the sanctuary. The sanctum healed the exhaustion of our aficionados in complete calmness and peace. Gradually, a day came to the end.

15:00 onwards
The event was supposed to wrap up at 16:00 according to the schedule. Due to unforeseen
circumstances, the event was dragged to 17:30. Participants arrived and gathered at Toa Payoh Town Park starting from 16:00.The exhilarating finale and the prize giving ceremony took place in this stupendous ground with variety of landscapes, fauna and flora. Needless to say, general public was occupying almost the whole area in this beautiful day. Together with the spectacular sunset, “Sanctuary Expedition” was accomplished lucratively with the effort and contribution of our members, committee and volunteers.

We would like to say thank you very much from the bottom of our heart for your commitment.
Our event cannot be accomplished successfully without u guys. You all are the heart and soul of the family. We deeply appreciate your generous contribution and effort. Love u all guys!!!
