More pictures of the SGCC Dinner

Over conversations at the dinner, I inquired about the impressions that our 3 Wuhan friends Mr Fu, Mdm Zhang and Mdm Khng have about Singapore.
In a nutshell, they have been very impressed with the city's cleanliness, our traffic system, the places they have visited and SHOPPING!
The variety of goods here and the quality of these goods are impressive. But they were truly surprised that at nearly every MRT station they emerged from, there is a lovely, attractive shopping mall awaiting.
Don't forget...our 3 good friends are 1st time visitors here and so many things which we take for granted are really surprising to them. Like even the amount of lights they see everywhere during night time. They couldn't believe we don't turn off more, especially in public areas and buildings. Any of our city planners and govt agencies reading this? Then do take a cue. Saving energy contributes to more eco-saving ! I fully agree.

In addition, they like the Nat Museum alot. A plus point is that they can pick up the earphone, click on to Chinese language and listen privately to the various commentaries. No hassle...simplicity personified!

That's what they like...so far!

Dinner for Wuhan Guests at SGCC

Since their arrival on Saturday night, our Wuhan guests have had a packed programme of visits to Suntec City, Orchard Road, Paragon Mall, Bugis Village, Clarke Quay, the National Museum and more... . Monday was Youth Day, a school holiday and the pupils from Wuhan would have had their share of sightseeing too with the hosting parents and their buddies.
And yesterday, Tuesday 8 July, they went to Gongshang Pri School for the 1st time. I understand they had quite a busy programme in the school.
Thus it was only fitting that we hosted a Dinner for our dear guests and friends from Wuhan last night. The venue was the Grille Room at the Serangoon Gardens Country Club.
The menu was typically western. So what did we eat? It was order as you like....sirlion steak, pan-fried cod, clam chowder, soup, etc..etc.. To top it all up we had the" house special"for dessert...a rich chocolate coated ice-cream cake. And haha! I almost forgot ...the inevitable red wine for the many rounds of Toastings. Cheers! Kan Pei!

Before dinner began D2 presented a bag of goodies to the 3 Wuhan staff. Then Mr Fu, my good friend, again surprised me by presenting me with a framed photo poster. It was a most beautiful picture of me presenting the ukulele gift to Principal Zheng when we first arrived in Wuhan.

I intend to devise a method to scan that picture even though the poster block is 12 mm thick...and put it up on this website.

I understand the picture gift is from

the Shui Guo Hu School.

Xie Xie!!
