Singapore Day Melbourne 2008 was yesterday. It was quite fun, with great weather and good food. I think it really reminded all Singaporeans of Singapore again, with the hot sun, and the insanely long queues. I had to queue for about an hour just to get in, and then find out that I had to queue some more for the food. So I waited for Bak Chor Mee, and before I knew it, I was in that queue for 2 hours!!!

But as Singaporeans what was the best part?? The FREE goody bags, the FREE food (yes, every single thing of it), and all the FREE stuff. I could not believe how FREE the whole thing was. I could have gone for the event without my wallet!

And the event really felt like Singapore. Everywhere you go, you bump into someone you know. Either an ex-classmate, an old friend, a course mate. And with performances from PCK, Dick Lee, and a couple of Singapore Idols, of course all with the propaganda message, it was definitely a good event.

They should have it again!!! But, I think that it will only be a hit outside of Singapore. I mean who in Singapore will queue to go in to have food you can eat anytime you want??
