Glad to hear you were able to get it all sorted out. Reminder for me, too, that I need to get my passport renewed before I leave...

SIN is fairly pernikety about passports with less than 6 months to run (never been a problem for me, they fill up too fast)!

Also was reliably informed yesterday that SIN should finally start processing APEC cards from 1 Aug. At least that is the agreed date they will start processing the pre-approvals. As always...many a slip between...

My problem is that I'm within that 6 month window... Having a house built definitely meant some dust building up on my passport for several years...no worries about that now :)

So, drinks before? Anyone?? Any suggestions for venue? Can't do Harry's like last time because that's for after dinner. :)

How about keeping it closeby? At the Four Seasons perhaps?
Oh there is also this mango desserts place (from HKG?) at International Plaza beside Shaw House worth considering... :D

Good idea StarG. Mango desserts place ^ ... I was there previously. Definitely well worth considering but may not want to load up too much prior to the Peranakan. The seating, however, is a bit of hit and miss. Not sure if they can cater for all of us unless we move the tables together.

don't like the mango idea, will be full from the flight anyway. but you guys and girls, do whatever suits you best.

I will very likely come straight to the dinner place at the Meritus Negara. At 07:30 I will be there.

Drinks afterwards is settled.

Well for those up for the pre dinner drinks: any suggestions/comments? :)
That mango place have cold desserts (like ice creams, etc.) from mango. I thought it would be nice to have it in Singapore humid weather.
But agree with SQFAN that IF we do go there we will have to keep it light - don't want to load up too much.

Any other suggestions? Any comments on Four Seasons?

I will follow the crowd! :cool:

One strong suggestion: Muddy Murphy's off Orchard Rd - perfect for group drinks and just minutes away from Negara Hotel.

Cheers,

Where is it located exactly?
Coming from you, I am pretty sure the place should be fine. :)
I would also go with the flow.

Likewise, my dear friend :D

The bar is located next to Orchard Towers :rolleyes:

Look forward to seeing you all.

IIRC, the bar at the Four Seasons is not what I'd call a happening place, so I'd go with fly4fun's suggestion to try Muddy Murphy's. :) ^
Raz, what time would you suggest we meet there? Maybe 6:30?

Not TOO late? :D
Looked up the link and found this:
Do I qualify for this requirement? ;) :D :D :D

What about for those who don't fit either of those requirements? :o
