Date: Sunday, August 9, 2015

Time: 12:30 PM

Venue: Ganhdi Indian's Cuisine

4080 Paradise Road

It is Indian lunch buffet, pay your own when you are there on Sunday.

You don't have to RSVP if you are not sure about your schedule, just show up on Sunday at 12:30 PM, we have the VIP room reserved for 35 people.

You only need to RSVP if you have previously submitted your name for the National Day goody bag packed and will be sent from Singapore. Please note that the goody bags are for SAN National Day event attendees only. OR if you care about the funding from OSU, I do not have a deadline from them yet but I would appreciate that I received your confirmation as soon as possible. That would also make my job easier when I request for sponsor's gift for our event, if we do not have enough gifts for everyone, it would be first come (RSVP) first served.

As usual, email Kirsty and let me know how many of you will be attending, I am looking forward to another fun event with all.

Come Doodle with Me - SG 50 Banner

Singapore will be 50 this year!

OSU sent me a big banner, it is for our big celebration this August as our sunny island will be celebrating SG 50 in a big way!

The banner is blank, it is for us to make it ours. It will be used on National Day event this year or any event we might have in the future. We could hang it up as our backdrop, or send a picture home to join in the celebration.

I am inviting you to come doodle with me, draw, paint, write, be creative and do whatever you want to make the banner that best represent our club.

If you are interested to be a part of this, please send Kirsty an email, and then we will work on a date that everybody on the list is available to work on this project.

Our Founding Father

March 23rd, 2015

A sad day for all Singaporean

Since February, when Mr. Lee was admitted to SGH, we have been keeping close watch on the news, twitter feed and other form of social media, deep down inside, I hope he could hang in there until Singapore celebrate our big 50 in August, but........we learn the sad news yesterday (3/22/15 Vegas time) around 3 PM, much earlier than my sister in Singapore got the news, that we have lost our founding father Mr. Lee Kuan Yew.

I can't tell you how sad I am, as you all know, I am a big fan - HE IS MY IDOL!

My children grew up listening to me preaching about how great our country is because of one man. Despite spending most of their life in the United States, my children are all Singapore citizens. We all have a better life because of him. Thank you Father Lee!

If you would like to express your thoughts and condolences for the late Mr. Lee, you can do so at the Singapore Consulate-General in San Francisco during office hours or online HERE (home page of Remembering Lee Kuan Yew)
