On Friday night, 06/17/2011, all the Singapore EAPSI2011 fellows were invited to attend a reception aboard the USS Tortuga naval ship that was docked at the Changi Navel base. Very tight security to get in—we had 4 security check points complete with metal detectors and background checks before we were even allowed to enter. Once we actually got to the ship, there were navel officers lined up to salute us as we walked aboard then a lighted red carpet to greet us at the Reception. It really felt like we were straight out of a scene from a movie.
The reception was fantastic! Heavy appetizer type food, open bar, and a live band. The band members were all navy officers and boy did they were really new how to work a crowd! All the EAPSI fellows had a blast dancing to the music until they basically kicked us off the ship.
From the reception, we ventured to Clarke Quay to celebrate Susan Tsang’s birthday. Susan is one of the EAPSI fellows living with me at East Lodge. Clarke Quay is a really fun place with lots of bars and clubs. It kind of reminds me of Pleasure Island at Disney—it has a very touristy and theme park feel to it. Other than the $18+ drink prices, it’s a great place to hang out with friends.
