The 9th of August. Singapore's 41st National Day. My second National Day away from home actually...ha ha! Well, last year's National Day in Perth wasn't at all exciting. So come this year, a bunch of friends came together and thought we should have a celebration for our National Day. Bring as many Singaporeans together and had a ball of a time. This idea actually came just 6 days ago and preparation went straight underway. We had our tavern booked and all the equipment and stuff prepared. We went all the way out of even organising a quiz along with snack prizes. Initially, we even wanted to have them serve the Singapore Sling. However, due to the fact that not all ingredients are available, they actually made us a variation and we named it the "Singapore Swing"....ha ha! Well, it wasn't too bad. If it ever get's famous, you know it started from the Murdoch Tavern.
Anyway, we were all super excited about tonight and it finally came. I tell you, we had more people coming than we expected. This event actually just by word or mouth actually spreded far and wide. It was a potluck and tonight we were far from shortage of food. In fact, the leftovers we had were so much. Also, we had the live webcast of the National Day Parade being screened too. Yeah... it was great. The quiz had everyone on their feet screaming and jumping just to answer the question. Also, Jith made a really good and nostalgic presentation about Singapore that just made all of us miss home. The night ended a a high and all of us just sat round to chat and drink. We had seriously so much fun and looking forward to doing something similar again...ha ha! Happy Birthday Singapore!
