as i write, singapore is probably in the thick of action with her usual dazzling national day parade at marina bay. we never did see a parade `live' other than on tv and on occasions, we drove closer-by to witness the spectacular fireworks. in a way, we miss the excitement this year.we kind of commemorated this with a small gathering of singaporean here for a makan session at my place yesterday. kok wah and family, who migrated here about a year earlier than us, joined us with chin yuen and his wife. kok wah is a colleague and my cycling kaki now. chin yuan and his wife will live here for 3 years as his wife is on a singapore government scholarship doing her doctorate at the melbourne university.
after a short cycle session at the eastlink trail, we replaced all burnt calories had a hearty meal of decidedly singapore fare of ngo hiang, prawn noodle soup, curry chicken with bread, bubur cha cha, tapioca cake, amongst others.
it was a very nice catch up for all of us.
happy 44th, singapore!
