Farewell Dinner
Last night, Christina and Elan hosted a dinner for us to say goodbye at the very upmarket China Club. The view from the 52nd floor was amazing, especially at night time, we got to see the whole skyline of Singapore’s business district and the Marina Bay. However, as I did not have my tripod, I could not take a decent photo and I didn’t really want to go about snapping photos of the restaurant with my giant camera. The interior was everything Chinese. Badges from the military uniforms, pictures and statues of Chairman Mao was adorned everywhere, amidst latticed woodwork and silk curtains.
We had a private room. Eric and Martha, Jenny and Andrew were there, forming our closest friends. It was very special.
Not a very good group photo. The poor waitress was struggling with the weight of my camera and thus the shakey picture.
Good friends.
Our husbands. It amuses me to see how men don’t sit close together when they take photos. Matt is the only one who does not speak a second language. They all speak Mandarin fluently - and they learnt it out of high school in the USA! We found out that Elan speaks Spanish as well!
The menu on our table. When I opened it, this was what I found:
It had been personalised with our names on it. Wow! It was an amazing over the top night. Last night reminded me why I should stay in Singapore.
No, but I will miss them all so much. I hope to find friends like that in the USA.
