I did it

23 Mar

I started a Singaporean Expat group on Meetup.com. So far there are 11 people in the list, so I thought, hey, why don’t I create an event? I’ve been waiting for someone to suggest an outing or dinner but for these six months, no one has.

If there’s anything I am learning in the land of the rising sun, it’s to take the initiative. I spent a bit of time feeling sorry for myself and thinking I have a paltry number of friends, if I can call them that, in this cold, cold city. So I’m going out to find myself new friends. I have joined a few groups already but I think it’s always better to continue socializing and not close your circle.

On 6 April, I hope at least a few peeps will come and have dinner at Singaporean restaurant, Hainan Jeefan Shokudo 2, in Ebisu, where they serve yummy chicken rice and other hawker faves on classy plates.

If all else fails, I’ll just drag a friend or two to give moral support.

Wish me luck!

    haha yeah it took me awhile to figure out he bloody spelling too. it’s run by a french dude. :p maybe that could explain a few things.

    anyway, i think the chicken rice here is really delicious. the only thing strange is the chicken is not at room temperature but it’s chilled, but good nonetheless.
