Logos Hope, the missionary ship that sells books had visited Singapore. I can't provided the exact details as this vessel will sail away from Singapore to somewhere tomorrow (i.e my today in this sentence means 29 December 2011). If you miss it, well maybe wait for the next round.
I know about Logos Hope visit through friend's website, here and here . Need to give them credit else I never visit this vessel :D
I was the last day of it's open house period when I visited. After work at around 6.30pm, I reach Vivo and tried to find the vessel location. Quite easy to find though, just proceed to Sentosa broadway direction and sure we can see it.
So I went up and begin my exploration. There were lots of books, like a huge library but with price tag :D. 100 unit = SGD 4. The currency is in unit. While I wander inside, I never felt anything but a stable ground, until i finaly realize that "hey myself, you are inside a ship!" To my amaze, the vessel is so firm like you are standing on the ground. When I look down, the wooden flooring below were so catchy and nice.
I browse through the Women section like devotional for women, pregnancy, cooking, wellness etc. Skip the children and guy section. But all these section was crowded with people erm.. I mean women. I walk further up till reaching the end and approaching the cashier line and stood back, it is the end already? So I walk back to the starting section. I notice that while most of the people walk following the flow but I reverse from the flow. Ok, not important :D
So I went back to those women's section, browse more diligently for the books that I want. Due to the huge quantity of books, I was lost to what to find, so I spend some times reading the synopsis of books on their back cover and finally I found 2 books. They are from same author some more.
So I proceed to the cashier and the staff that serve me saw the books I intended to purchase, was a westerner with a pair of delighted eyes and a big smile. She then said " hmm good choices that you have made, dear". It calm my heart thinking: hey you have made the right purchase hahaha but soon I realize, too early to assume that, go read the books before judging. Oh ya, the book cost 200units, which means SGD 8 / book. The books are about 30-day devotional for women. There are prayers and questions inside the books, will share when I finished reading yeah!
Then proceed to the exit, and passed by the little story pathway, the Logos cafeteria and the board full of post-it note. It was called the "Comments about Life X-perince" There were interesting pieces all together!
Next, on exit, the staircase where extremely unique. It seems very slippery kind of stairs but it was not unless you are wearing heels :D
After exit, bid the ship goodbye (like I literary do, don't believe me k), I wander around Vivo and wanted to go daiso. I always lost in Vivo mall even though I came here once a week. Poor me! So I walk from the outer part of sky terrace to go to Daiso and look what I found...
The huge Christmas tree my colleagues always rave about. Finally have the chance to take a snapshot of its existence after Christmas. Trust me, I no fond of Christmas tree for year 2011. Some other year I do. I manage to snap its full the reflection on the water because I stand quite far from that huge statue. It was more to called as a statue rather than a tree right since it don't have any tree roots?
Ok not important. Thanks for reading!
