3rd XPDC

we managed to take photos of 5 masjids for the third expedition. here they are:

1. Al Firdaus... located at Jalan Ibadat (that's near keat hong camp. p.s. the name of the road is really apt, don't you think?) is a small, cosy masjid. we had a chat with Ustaz Fadlon and he told us a little of the masjid's background. he even showed us pictures of the masjid before it was refurbished (it was made of wooden planks). it was really cool! for a masjid that seems to be far from housing estates, we saw quite a good number of people sending their children for madrasah classes there.

2. Masjid Pusara Aman... located at Lim Chu Kang Road, Muslim Cemetery. it has a nice landscape garden and a pond with fishes and terrapins. there's a small cart with some food in plastic containers. i assume they're for sale but there wasn't anyone manning it.

3. Assyakirin... located at Yung An Road was a buzz with activities. it has a lift, library and islamic civilization corner. really interesting stuffz! i love the way they utilized space to cater the their kindergarten students. they made their own snakes&ladders board game (big enough for a child to become the 'counters') out of the floor tiles. ;D

4. Al Mukminin... located at Jurong East St 21 has a rather unique architecture. it has kind of a rooftop playground and an air-con student study centre. it also has a reading area for jemaah. when we were there, they were having a blood donation drive. cool eh?

5. Masjid Hasanah... located at Teban Gardens Road has a rather tall minaret (compared to other masjids we've been to so far). my 2nd cuzin loves the narrow 'corridors' in the masjid. there's also a poster on one of the pillars that caught our eyes. printed in 2001 was a map of Singapore with all the masjids and their locations. i wonder if they have an updated map.
