who has retired and is not to be found. In fact, there are a few
people I thought would become regulars, whom I haven't seen
around. chemist661 for example. Later on on this trip, I encountered
FTers ws8n and dlouise37, whom I may not have seen since that
time either.
That was a fun time. I remember everyone piling into the van to go to East Coast Jumbo for dinner. Great food. I took a few pictures at dinner, and one has Bennie in it! I had planned to go back to SIN the next year, but other trips kept getting in the way.
My favorite memory of the trip, besides dinner, was how I kept my body clock on EST so that I wouldn't get jet-lagged. As a result, I spent mornings and nights exploring SIN while I slept in the afternoons. I still got a lot done, including a cruise to Batam, a trip to Jahor Bahru, and shopping for silk on Arab Street.
I think I just talked myself into joining the 2010 DO!
