New Brush Pens

I was trying out the new SAI Japanese brush pens brown and dark brown from http://www.akashiya-fude.co.jp/050_product/sai_01.php. On this stretch of the road, YMCA is on the left and Orchard Road Presbyterian Church in the middle and Fort Canning Hills on the right accessible by a huge outdoor spiral stairs after the church.

It was interesting to know that The East India Company had contributed S$250 towards the construction of the church when a sizeable number of Scots began worshiping there. The small chapel was nicknamed the “Scots Church” or "Greja Kechil".

"The church building was erected in 1878 at a cost of $20,000, and worship at this new location began with only 42 members. It was dubbed Greja Kechil (meaning small church in Malay) for its small size." http://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/infopedia/articles/SIP_819_2004-12-27.html

The church was the crime scene for a "Curry Murder" case in 1984. You can read about it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Ayakannu_Marithamuthu
