I'm planning to hold a CHF gathering sometime during May.
Let's tentatively make it 15th May 2010 (Saturday) at Tanjong Pagar MRT station say around 2pm. We can go to Chinese Teahouse (near Chinatown) for a tea-session and have chit-chat.
Please let me know if you can make it. If not, please indicate a convenient date and time.
Next CHF Gathering in Singapore

Why are all the CHF gatherings in Singapore? Are most CHF posters there?
What if one day we have simultaneous CHF meetings around the world -- perhaps via Skype conference?

We've fixed Singapore as "capital" of CHF.
Not sure.. it's easier to co-ordinate the gatherings in Singapore because we have contacts of Singaporean members of CHF.
For international online Skype conference, I need to check on the possibility of it. Perhaps, I'll co-ordinate one in the future...

Hi GZ
Thanks for the invitation..
At this point of time, I am quite uncertain whether I can attend or not because I understand from my parents that my first aunt from Malaysia is coming for a visit.. dates not confirmed yet but definitely one of these weekends in May. So we will have family gatherings.
Please do go ahead without me.. have fun and post lots of pictures!

No problem if you have other life commitments. I just want to you know that I miss you people after having not met you guys for a long time.
It's no problem if the gathering only has a few people coming. It's pretty normal. Our first gathering only has 4 people. Some people are free..some people might not want to join.. there are all sorts of reasons.
But I still hope you can make it as I haven't met you for quite some time

My exam is on June 5. So I should be free then.. but I might be going to China for the Shanghai world expo during June. But just PM me if you're in Singapore. I can check my schedule and if I'm available, I can meet up with you...
Perhaps, holding the CHF gathering on 10th of July (Saturday) might be a better time.
