Sigh... nearing the end of the day, one last chance for
makan! I made a beeline for the Hokkien Mee because it
received rave reviews and I saw one GIANT prawn given with each
serving!!
Lookee... GIANT prawn!!

Compare that sibey tua jiak prawn to my thumb to have an idea of
how really sibeh tua jiak it was!!
Shiok, man!! 
And look at how everyone is enjoying themselves, just sprawled
out wherever, whenever, doing whatever!

Do you think they can woo us back to return to Singapore for
good?
I don't think I can ever give up the
carefree, leisure-packed lifestyle in return for the stressful
ratrace back home, man!
You can tell we are Singaporeans from how we prioritise our
food! Standing up / sitting down / lying down, alone or with
friends and family, food comes first! 

And all too soon, it all ended.
I only got to meet two groups of friends and
missed meeting up with the other three groups. I guess we
were all too busy doing the most important thing of all - queuing
up for food!

I had a fantastic day, but am pissed at one thing - I didn't
realise the Singapore Day T-shirts were given FREE and thought I'd
go buy them after the concert, but by then, gone!!! They were
all gone!!!

I'm really grateful to the organisers and the volunteers who
helped to make this event possible. So much thanks to the
hawkers who slogged non-stop for us and to the performers too, for
making us laugh and for giving us a feel-good, nostalgic
feeling.
I wonder where they will hold Singapore Day
2009, but hope that sooner rather than later, Singapore Day will
return to Melbourne again.
