Oh, CHF have quite a few, but for the purpose of this poll, we're only looking at members based in Singapore ...

Some are 大神龍, some are 小神龍 :lol:

There are those like Liang Jieming and Elisha who stated they are coming but had not voted in the poll ...

And Cameron whom Imperial Marshal is supposed to get sign up here ...

Others in Singapore like Moose, Lin Duanwen, Lifezard, Sg_han, Wang Yun, Jave Wu, Yongzheng Freak, ... and all the members listed in http://www.chinahist...p...12847&st=15

For those who would like to come but has not voted, please sign up. :notworthy:
I know it's a very Singaporean trait to wait until the last minute, or even after time's up.

But we can surprise ourselves once in a while and let others know Singapore is not always predictable, right?

I'll ask for this poll to be closed a week before the date.


Alrite ! I'm not in the list...Phew...I should be going, unless my forgetful brain acts up again...

Please don't feel bad you're not called a 龍 ... the reason why you're not in the list is because you already signed up.

As organiser, I got to 软硬兼施 and apply carrot-and-stick approach to get people to sign up.
The 硬 (stick) will be administered by Imperial Marshal Mok ... :icon15:

It means someone who turns up once in a bluemoon (somewhat mysterious).. hence you only see the dragon hand but not the tail.

One should seek serenity to cultivate the body, thriftiness to cultivate the morals. If you are not simple and frugal, your ambition will not sparkle. If you are not calm and cool, you will not reach far. - Zhugeliang

10 Courts are where *trials* are conducted by the 10 Judges (十殿阎王).
18 levels (十八层地狱) are where the sentences are served.
