For anyone interested, mike_ant has offered to give a tour of SIN on Sunday, July 29, leading up to the dinner. As of now we will start at 12:30PM because that's when AJ gets to SIN, but if there is enough interest we could maybe start it a bit earlier and meet AJ somewhere, since the tour below would take a little longer than a 12:30PM start, but we can always cut stuff out. Here is what the tour would include:
We can meet in Intercontinental Hotel (in Bugis Junction), then we can take a walk (or bus) to nearby Kampong Glam. After that, if there are some people interested in electronics, we can go to Sim Lim Square. Otherwise, we can take taxis to Botanical Gardens (if people are interested).
From Botanical Gardens, can take a bus to Orchard Road (for a little sightseeing/shopping), otherwise we can head down to Chinatown. We can have lunch in Chinatown or Orchard area (Dim Sum, maybe?)
From there, there are a few options. Either we go to Little India (for a little overview of Indian culture), or, (maybe better), take subway to City Hall to go around the Esplanade (Singapore's version of Sydney's Opera House). From Esplanade, we can walk to the Merlion Park.
From there, if there's still extra time before dinner, we can go to Clarke Quay to try the reverse bungee (you said you wanted something fun ) It's pretty fun!
From there, we go to the dinner. If there's still energy left, we can do the Night Safari after dinner.

lucky9876coins and I will be in SIN on 7/29 and would love to meet up with some locals/visitors for dinner While it is far out we just wanted to see if anyone is interested. Neither of us are familiar with places so are open to a location, and exact time can be set accordingly!

The third is Wine Garage. Incidentally, all three are owned by the same management so you can sit in any of them and order from all three. Also useful when you have people at the table who have different drink preferences - wine, beer and margaritas.

Just wanted to remind everyone, especially those in the US, that SIN is far away, which means a lot of miles.
AJ and I (and xj, if he decides to join us) are only in SIN for a couple of days, so if anyone else would like to do a mileage run to SIN or an award and join us for a day of sightseeing and dinner, that would be great! The more the merrier! ^
