Day 3 – Singapore Day 09, Hampton Court Palace

Woke up and saw the cloudy skies. Uh-oh. For all the good weather that we enjoyed so far, it had to rain on the actual event day…

typical London gloomy weather...

But luckily the skies cleared, and crowds started to fill Hampton Court Palace..

..i must add that the crowds immediately zoomed in for the food..overseas Singaporeans sure missed their hokkien mee, old changkee, chilli crabs etc

Our area was quite popular, and saw lotsa of people…

our wall had many overseas Singaporeans penning their well-wishes for Singapore 2010

Oh, and our spray-painted mural wall look radically different when the day was over : )

hehee, my pathetic attempt cannot be seen anymore...

It was a very tiring day. We were on our feet for many hours, but at the end of it, it was also bone-achingly satisfying. It was an experience talking and chatting with the overseas Singaporeans, many of whom have been away from home for many, many years and missed home alot. To hear of them wishing us well, to hear of them express faith that we will pull it off and organise a successful Games, and to know that many of them will be eagerly watching Singapore 2010 next year, was extremely encouraging and reaffirmed once again, why I am doing this and why I am determined to make this a journey an unforgettable one : )
