Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.
Romans 12:15
This week Mr Ee passed away, and the 2nd funeral I attend in 2 weeks. Apart from my grandmother, he’s an elderly whom I’ve seen and interacted more than other elderlies of the wakes of I’ve attended. His testimonies in church and the love seen through his family members touches me. Although I always never feel too sad, I’m start to realise the grief that the love ones face may be more than what I understand.
Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
Matthew 5:4
As mentioned, statistics from my GPS dumps taking Sentosa Skyride and Luge.
I’m not a Singapore Tourism promoter, but see the bottom 2 links for more information.

The Data in Pictures
The path taken viewed from Google Earth.
Some altitude data.
Simple view.
Altitude and Speed. The Skyride is quite smooth, traveling only ~2-3km/h, reaching 88m then descending slightly to the Luge start point. My maximum speed recorded on my first ride was 35km/h.
The picture to sum it all.

As usual, credits to GpsVisualizer, uTrack and TrekBuddy for making this data possible.
was what my sis said we would be on the way back from Sentosa.
My last exam paper ended today near 8pm after a 2.5 hours struggle against time. I spent over an hour trying to work out 1 qn just to fumble through 32 questions in the remaining 1-and-a-half hour.
So after exams, took a bus to HarbourFront and took this (MRT-like) train ride from Vivo into Sentosa for my first time. At least 2 years since I was last there and there are many changes.
Having no proper meals and starving already, I had my fill stuffing myself with pizzas, cakes and more.
Everyone took this Luge and so I bought the tickets to go up with everyone for their 2nd ride. The skyride was nice! You can to see the skyline and the coastlines, see your feet go above the roads and and trees, and sitting on a seat held on only by a cable. So people scared of heights, do be prepared. Then from the top, the luge is a little mixture with Go-Kart and a bicycle or skateboard. Just gravity, steering and brakes. I happened to record my coordinates using GPS, but in order not to clutter this post, the GPS stats and photos will be in the next post!
There’s tons of stuff I have on my TODO lists (infact many of them thought of in the midst of my exams), with some on the priority like replying emails, filling my lecture notes for this semester so on…
Anyway I’ll be hitting up Malaysia tomorrow night, be back for the Orchestra camp, then JSM family camp, then enjoy Christmas and New Year plus perhaps work a few additional projects.
My life’s excitement always starts after exams!
