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.

Singapore Community Day 2015

The first ever Singapore Community Day in the SF Bay Area was co-orgainized by Singapore Connect and the Overseas Singapore Unit.

The event on February 28, 2015 was held at Saratoga Springs Picnic and Campground, St Jose.

It was really one of the most beautiful places I've ever been.

Ok, I admit, I am a sucker for running stream......

I am so delighted to see so many Singaporean in one place.....

lining up for food of course.....

What do you expect? When Newton Circus and Lau Pa Sat were all there....

Chicken Rice, Satay, Mee Goreng, Beef Rendang, Ang Ku Kueh, Teh Tarak...... you name it, they have it!

The adults were busy eating while the kids were learning how to play kampong games we used to played when we were little.....

remember? kuti kuti?

Chapteh and Five Stones?

Randy and I both had fun at the Photo booth....

apparently, this was our first!

The photo gallery at "Marina Bay" had photos reminded me of HOME!

Six of my photos sent in prior to the event were on display too, ummm...... see something familiar?

As seen on You Tube .....

Consul-General Mr. Christopher Cheang opening the event

and then we all doodled on the SG 50 banner

notes were written and will be send HOME to Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew

just a few photos before we leave....

with Consul-General Christopher Cheang...

OSU Director Wong Kan Foo

and a selfie with Stanley of course.....

we are leaving Saratoga Springs with this ringing in my head....

Sama-sama maju ke hadapan

Pandai cari pelajaran

Jaga diri dalam kesihatan

Serta sopan-santun

dengan kawan-kawan

don't ask me why, they played tons of Singapore songs on Singapore Community Day, I just can't get this one out of my head.

Both our flights to St Jose airport and back to Vegas were easy, cheap and pleasant on a Saturday....

it was a wonderful, memorable day at Saratoga Springs after all!
