Opening @Regent
Sat night was the Opening of the Singaporean Overseas Portal. It is a new programme set up by the government to like Singaporeans all over the world so that though they are far away from home, they are still connected to Singapore. It was held at Regent Hotel and the Guest Of Honour was DPM Wong Ka Seng. We managed to take a photo with him and interacted for a while. He is a very frenly guy, asking us about our lives here. And we got to eat Singaporean food ever since we got here. Food from BreadTalk, BakersInn, and many more Shanghai based Singapore restuarant.We had free flow of wine too, quite a grand occasion with big bosses around. Managed to interact with some. Just before we left, we saw this group of students from NUS, also here for exchange. We stayed in the ballroom till they chased us out, ha, it was quite an amusing sight. We exchanged number and hope to meet up soon. Overall, a pleasant experience.
