10/12/2015 marks the first day we interns of the SYIP start off our internship programme! As a start, we went to the Escape Hunt at Concorde Hotel. It was indeed a very fun and great way to hype up the spirit of us interns to kick start our internship programme! We also spent some time there to enjoy tea and briefly go through the internship schedule and things to take note. we also delegated roles for the internship programme.

Afterwards we proceeded to Plaza Singapura to have lunch. Upon reaching, Lim Ning(niuniu) suddenly ran off towards a carnival where there are many fun things to do! Since we all had time, we all followed and went to enjoy ourselves at the carnival.

Tired, we then entered Plaza Singapura to cool ourselves down ans enjoyed aircon. we took awhile to decide what to eat for lunch.In the end we decided to lunch at Ajisen Ramen!! Lunch was indeed filling and everyone had a great fellowship time together! I almost forgot what I ordered  though! Haha!

With our stomachs filled, we went to get a pass for the carnival and wanted to have fun at the snow globe booth. However, due to the bad weather, we could not participate in it... We then decided to have ice cream at macdonalds!! Li Zhou and Niu Niu were the quickest to get to macdonalds to queue for their cravings. As they were queuing up, Eujuin went to look for seats.

When we were settling down, Li Zhou accidentally kicked against a chair and his pinkie toenail broke! Ouch! Gideon then went to buy some plasters for him and we comforted him by cracking some jokes to keep his mood high. He is a brave young man and he decided to walk up to SYNOD instead of taking a taxi. This was despite knowing there is a long flight of stairs up and long distance to walk. It was God's Grace that we all made it to the Presbyterian Church House which was on Sophia Road

At the Presbyterian Church House, we had a very fruitful session with Reverend Tan. Reverend Tan is the General Secretary pf the Presbyterian Church House. We interns got to know more Presbyterian churches in Singapore and the structure of the SYNOD. We also got exposed to knowing more of what is a Presbyterian church. After Reverend Tan's Sharing, we officially ended our first day of internship! What a day it was!
