In the last couple of years, we have attended a few musicals at Esplanade. The latest being My Fair Lady. A really good show - the plot kept close to the movie and they sang all the songs. Attended this with Connie and Fong Oi. Enjoyed the show tremendously though it was quite expensive but still cheaper than flying to NY or London. So now we don't have to fly to New York or London for our shows.
Next is Grease - an epic musical with all the upbeat songs! Looking forward to it.
It has been confirmed by the Ministry of Law that Keppel will not have the lease renewed nor will the club be given an alternative location. Guess the good news is that we can now finally move on and work on alternative plans.
Of course, the bad news is that we will not have land in Singapore for a golf course. The Chairman, president and management committee are working on various options including working with the labour foundation on the public course use, working with local clubs that have more than 18 holes, working with overseas clubs (Malaysian or Indonesian) and having just a social club in Singapore.
Attended a town hall meeting where many of the old timers are fixated with appealing the decision despite the president saying that all their arguments have been presented and the Cabinet has decided.
It was also interesting that many members want to reduce/remove transfer fee to sell their membership or run down the reserves. More interesting were the ones that complain about making bad decision to convert to transferable membership. Seems like Singaporeans love to complain and expect all their bad decisions (investment or otherwise) to be protected or compensated by authorities.
Anyway, as for me - just play as many games as I can between now and then to get my money's worth!
The XO (ex-Oracle) group has been meeting for the last 10 years. This includes all the pioneer members from when Oracle Asia Pacific had less than 20 staff. Mark Wang was the MD and employee #1. Others include sales folks like Gopi, Jenny, Michael (sotong?), Phui Huong and Nicole. PreSales includes Marie, Li Hong and Geoff.
This group formed the core group back in early 1990s but all have moved on to different careers, management, etc. But it was good to catch up with everyone.
