S'pore Day in London
Some 12,000 people turn up for event that celebrates all things Singaporean
By Alison de Souza
London - Britain's busiest train station reverberated with lots of 'lahs' and 'lors' yesterday morning.

Scores of Singaporeans were there to catch trains for south-west London. They were headed for Hampton Court Palace where this year's Singapore Day was held.

Neurosurgeon Vinothini Apok, 28, who has lived in Britain for nine years, said: 'I am looking forward to being among the unique social mix that defined my childhood and early adolescence again.'

Some 12,000 Singaporeans who live and work in Britain, and even from other parts of Europe, attended the event organised by the Singapore Government at an estimated cost of S$6 million. A small army of hawkers, performers, civil servants and other support staff was flown in to pull it off.

The grounds of the palace were turned into a mini version of Singapore, with areas marked 'Clarke Quay', 'Tanglin', 'Katong', 'Dempsey Hill' and 'Lau Pa Sat'.

Filmmaker Eric Khoo, the event's creative director, had overseen every detail.

His tongue-in-cheek touches included an ERP (Electronic Road Pricing) gantry at the main entrance and, in the goodie bags distributed, packets of wet wipes labelled 'Chope!'

The space was designed around displays and interactive installations to update Singaporeans on the latest developments back home, from education to national service.

People could sign up to become volunteers at the 2010 Youth Olympic Games which will be held in Singapore, or join one of the Singapore associations abroad.

Singapore employers were also on hand recruiting for jobs in health care, law, finance and the public sector.

EXAMS ARE OVER!!!

WOOTS!!! finally 5 exams over... phew! the last one had to be the worst... coz my mind was not focused on studying but instead on post exam activities... hahaha yeah so anyways i got a bike! bought it on gumtree for 40 quid... impulse buy but it was a good buy! haha and the seller was really quick... cos i emailed him with my offer and my no. awhile later, he called to ask where i live and that hes gonna deliver it then! haha and he even gave me a bike lock... yeah its so called "new" cos he assembles bikes and sells them... everything in working condition... just that the seat was abit high... and now my ass hurts... haha not used to sitting on a triangle seat ok... so after the exams, i went to poundland and got a bike flat tyre kit for a pound (thats y its called poundland) and a bike pump, and some AAA batteries... then i went to sportsdirect to get a U lock for 5.99, and mr cheap who is having a half price sale now till sat and bought LED lights for the front and back for 2 pounds. so total i spent 51 pounds on the bike and accessories! haha i think its a bargain man... cos other friends spend at least 50 on their bike... and its self assembled... lol yeah so now going to tesco is so much faster... basically everywhere is so much faster... haha and the roads are good to cycle... cos i guess the drivers here are used to having cyclists on the road... unlike back home where they will horn at every fucking cyclist they see... hahaha me included... :P but hey! its cos theres road tax and stuff ok! and over here there are bike lanes... so bikes ARE allowed on the roads... ha
