hey ms piggy and kopibaby, with the number of tpfers here based in singapore... it's totally possible to do a singapore meet. i.e., of course, if everyone's cool with the idea.

Wouldn't that be fun!!

I met up with a couple of other PFers (all not from the BV board!

) for lunch at Din Tai Fung the last time a visiting PFer from the US was in town.

We should totally consider a Singapore meet up - either across the board or just limited to the BV board. I'll be up for it!
