Hey there!

Finally, the Pulau Ubin trip is happening.. this is to fulfil the promise I made to some of you in Feb..

I've managed to get some time off from work this sat and we're going Pulau Ubin.. And don't worry about showing up on this event alone.. cos most of us are in the same situation

Just show up in your most comfortable gear and we can all explore this offshore island and build new friendships at the same time...

More details as follows..

Event: Pulau Ubin Hiking/Cycling Trip
"Let's travel back in time"

Pulau Ubin is in essence, the last 'kampung' (village) in Singapore. A stroll through Ubin takes you back to Singapore in the 1960's with the simpler pleasures of life.

You may choose to cycle or hike for Pulau Ubin.

Hi Jewel,

Was wondering if the Ubin trip did happen? If no, would like to join in the next one if you do organise again. If yes, hope everyone enjoyed themselves. I will go there this coming Sat. Missed that place.

Cheers

Welcome to Singapore, there are lots of things to do here. Where do you hail from? Drop me a line at [email protected].

I'm new to Singapore as of Jan., and am always looking for fun activities around the city.

Would definitely be game for some jazz, just point me in the right direction.

Cheers,
Catherine

Hey, am quite new to Singapore as well. If you have no plans this chinese new year, let me know and maybe we can have a small party, movie or coffee meet up. cheers! [email protected] .

Hey whynot, have you tried going to one of the FNDC meet-ups?

I know the first time can be daunting, joining a group of strangers for drinks; no need to worry they're quite a fun nad friendly bunch of locals, western and asian expats.

Bravito/whynot and anyone else interested, we could meet-up at timbre across the river from boat quay (besides the Asian civilisation museum) this Friday, 30 Jan at 7pm to line our stomach and get a couple of happy hour drinks and then head to FNDC together, so you can meet even more people.

let me kow if you're interested as I might need to reserve a table

I agree with Maltester1... And Awesomearpit is already organizing an "early" Friday get-together and those interested to join FNDC can just move from there!
