Of Singapore Day
Singapore Day is some government sponsered mega huge event for Singaporeans overseas. The last Singapore Day was in New York last year at central park, this year it was the Sydney Myer Music Bowl (like fort canning but way more happening) in Melbourne during the weekend. Here's Singapore day 08 in bullet point (because i'm seriously real busy now)
- you queue up for an hour just to clear the gates, then go in and see even more queues
- free food, nasi lemak, teh tarik, prata, chili crabs and chicken rice (WHAI NO ROJAK???)
- goodie bags. With Kaya inside..omg nice!
- EVEN longer queues for the food and goodie bags, which is really clever of the organisers since queues ARE VERY SINGAPOREAN
- Phua Chu Kang : i have no idea why he is even around but he was WAY BETTER THAN Tay Ping Hui trying to sing i have no idea what
- Kit Chan: no she wasn't there but seriously you can only play "Home" that many times before drawing up the imagery of your motherland becomes rather irritating....."this song..truly...is being played , too many....."
- Electrico: sadly they were the only fine musical exports they could bring over....but still to play in Sydney Myer Music Bowl is a big thing. I mean Red Hot Chili Peppers, AC/DC, R.E.M. did play on the same stage.
-more queues for toilet, free newater and army rations (wtf? people eat that shit?)
- people mountain people sea: because free food and goodie bag and if your came early free t shirt
- Sydney Myer Bowl became Fort Canning on steriods....like it really felt like home.
- oddly unlike Fort Canning, there was hardly any mess or litter around, that's impressive since the whole event really was about giving free food in disposable plates and utensils with music playing in the background. AND its for Singaporeans nonetheless....maybe in angmoh country we loves the grass more than we do back home.
-oh did i say chicken rice?
- chicken rice
- chicken rice
-chicken rice
- you meet ALOT of people you never knew were in Australia....former recruits, retired teachers, primary school classmates. I wondered if any former exiled politicians were around
-chicken rice
- chili crabs were quite teh hit too, i don't understand why people overseas love chili crab so much. but hey i got a big pincer too so no complaints.
i miss yet con chicken rice real bad.....
