中秋庆祝会 Mid-Autumn Festival 14th Sep 2013, 6pm
Addressing the members.
Festival opening speech
Addressing the members.
This year’s Mid-Autumn Festival saw a large turn-out of members – a great way to bring the generations together for a meaningful traditional Chinese celebration. The weather was in our favour.
Our President addressed the members and declared the celebration opened. The buffet spread was scrumptious. So were the desserts and moon cakes.
After dinner, we had a lantern tour around the block. The kids loved the lanterns and light-sticks, the elderly loved the after meal walk. Back at the club, there were games, riddle contest and lantern making competition. There were lots of fun for everyone.

印尼丹绒槟挪二天一夜游 Tanjung Pinang, Indonesia 2D1N Tour 15-16th Jun 2013
Map - Location
Day 1, 15th Jun 2013
It was a fine Saturday morning, fourteen members of Yee Clan Association assembled at Singapore’s Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal. They cleared Singapore Immigration and embarked in a luxurious high-speed catamaran ferry ride to Pulau Bintan. Bintang Island is about 50km south-east of Singapore. Upon arrival at Sri Bintan Pura Ferry Terminal (Indonesia), they proceeded to Indonesian immigration and customs clearances.
A local guide welcomed them at the exit. First stop was an ancient temple at Senggarang, about an hour’s drive away. The temple was thought to be more than 300 years old. An equally old banyan tree enclosed the temple’s roof – akin to that of Angkor Wat temple.
Notice in front of temple
Translation of the Notice:
(from Indonesian language)
“Tien Shang Miao Temple.
Originally this was the residence of a Chinese captain named Chiao Ch'en, 1811. It was abandoned and later became a Senggarang Chinese community as a place of worship. Winding tree roots of banyan fig tree on the temple building indicate that this temple is very old.”
Next, visit to the 500 Lohan Temple. Please see photos of temple elsewhere in our Facebook or Flickr. Lunch was at a famous local restaurant called Java Timur. It served authentic Indonesian food. Leisurely shopping at Ramayana Mall. Followed by a visit to a famous dried cuttlefish factory.
Finished off Day 1 tour with a sumptuous seafood dinner.
Day 2 , 16th Jun 2013
After breakfast at hotel, it was free and easy at own leisure. Transferred from hotel to Sri Bintan Pura Ferry Terminal to catch a ferry back to Singapore.
