I must admit to having a little bit of an Aussie love affair.  I think it all started back in 1986 when a TV show called Neighbors blasted onto the screens in the UK.  Who could not get obsessed by the Charlene and Scott love story and those yummy Aussie accents!!  In the years since then, I have met many an Aussie and am also extremely pleased to count a few of them amongst my friends.  Here in Singapore, there are a lot of Australian ex pats - and a more fun group of people you never met.  In 2012, I finally got to take my first trip to Australia with a visit to Sydney.  This trip, we headed to Queensland, lured mainly by the beautiful weather there at this time of the year as opposed to much of Asia which is in rainy season. 

August 9th 2015 will see Singapore celebrate their Golden Jubilee in massive style.

Rehearsals for the big day have been going on for the last few months and will culminate in a big parade, fly over of aircraft and firework extravaganza at a stadium built especially for the occasion on The Padang.

Everywhere the red and white of Singapore and the SG50 symbol have been evident and increasing as SG50 fever takes over.
