Function with VIPs

OK... Melbourne had a Singapore Day recently and sadly there isn't enough people living in Brissy to get a one of our own. Fortunately we had a consolation function yesterday; a mini-Singaporeans gathering at the Stamford Plaza Brisbane hotel. The past 2 years were really busy and I hardly had anytime to do anything. So in this final year, I've decided to attend the event. It feels good to be able to hear our familiar Singaporean english again. I didn't have my camera with me yesterday. But I've managed to get 2 shots with 2 of the VIP(s)from the entourage that turned up at the event.

man! I've put on quite a bit of weight in these past years. Too much aussie BBQ. Time to burn that away when I finish my last wave of assignments.
