Singapore Day 2008 in Melbourne

Pictures shall speak.
I know it's kinda late but it is a one-time event held only in Melbourne. The previous Singapore Day in 2007 was held in New York; where popular bloggers or even celebrities were invited. For Melbourne's Singapore Day, we had ol time favs like Phua Chu Kang Family, and some celebrities. Looking at this lil greenery, we see lil' Singapore.....

there are certainly more food, but everything kinda ran out before i could get to them. :(

the layout of the whole event can be found on sgday website.

for this event, the MRT Stations and some popular

hangouts were implemented in the location of each booth.

You feel like Singapore becos you get to see places like:

Dempsey Hill, Chinatown, etc

Yet already, a few months have passed.

Anavil left for home, Monica in Melbourne, Jane and Serr in Perth, then Striders offshore for studies. Everyone's leaving for a lil break from the sunny island. But, I guess, like what serr said, we still heart our home country.

With love,

LET'S IMAGINE!

What if one day, Singapore becomes areal-life talking and walking person, howwould you imagine her to be like?



Would you depict her as a an over-the-top kiasu,or perhaps a damn nosey kay-poh and maybe evenqualities we have yet to discover about ourselves.



Here's three viewpoints from three of our localartistes on what Singapore were to be like should shebe human, hosted by the ever hilarious Mr. Miyagi.

---------------------------------------------

WATCH THIS!



MOTHERLAND: In the first episode, Irene Ang takeson the role of Singapore herself, a mother who is bent on
teaching her daughter a lesson that she will never forget.



STAR: In the second episode, Beatrice Chia chooses toplay a secondary character instead, as a film director who
provides counselling & advice to Singapore, the actor.



LASTING LOVE: In the final episode, Chuan Enlai takes
on a challenging dual role as Singapore and the boy who was
raised by her as he reminisces good old times & memories.
