The Butter Factory at Robertson Quay was where UK Bound 2007 was held for this year.
I was lost! I couldn't find my way. There was no light at the end of any tunnel that could lead me to the right directions. So much for my optimism and my trust in my gut feeling. After having walked endless rounds Clarke Quay and by the river (trust me I walked passed a flier distributor 5 times that on the sixth time, it almost seemed that we knew each other for an eternity!)
Finally I reached! With the help of Xing Cong who came at 7pm (the event was supposed to start at 8pm) to lead his LSE friends there.
My purpose for attending UK Bound 2007 - to support Reuben and Clare. Pity they weren't paired up together. That would have indeed been a great show! Surprisingly (actually owing to an act of sabotage), Xing Cong and Ashraf were also pulled up on stage for the pageant together with Reuben and Clare. It almost became The MOE Show (Ta da!)
Vodka lime (quite a refreshing taste actually) and Asahi Beer (both complimentary drinks by the way - note the grin!) plus some silly dancing around, I left at about 12.30am hoping that the Night Rider will be in service but to my disappointment. It was not Friday, Weekends or a Public Holiday. The painful taxi ride home!
On my way home, I tried to rehearse the lines I would say to the school for Teacher's Day but somehow, my mind was drifting away to a land far far away.
