(I'll post it here temporarily before moving it to the CHF community archives later on).

On 21st June 2008, CHF held a gathering for members based in Singapore. The location is at my place. The gathering was quite fun! About 13 members turned up for the gathering. Fireball flew all the way from Taiwan to attend our gathering. We met and discussed lots of things about chinese history/culture or anything related to chinese. We also watched a Video based on Prof. Yi Zhongtian's 3 kingdoms lecture (Lecture Rooms).

Anyway, here are the photos

Lovely pictures, I'm glad you all had a great time. Maybe... just maybe I can make the July/August gathering.... Only thing is that's a hard time for me. (So many family birthdays during that time.)

:(

That is too bad, they were not in the pic, but is so nice to finally put faces on my friends as well as get to see some of our fellow members who do not show up all that often.


Like LuSu, Aaron, and Pattie I am a bit envious and I wish I could have been there.

Wow, that looked so fun! It's also cool to see how everyone looked like too (wish I were in Singapore).


To Julian Bei: That's a very nice red polo shirt. I own one that's kind of like it.

Sorry I could not turn up. My Macbook died on me on Saturday after less than a year. Had to bring it down for servicing.
