Hi! This is Steve.

I'm going to be in Singapore next week for some business and was wondering in a few of you Local DC readers would like to have a quick meetup.
I've got time open on the evening of Monday the 21st. Post below or message me on my Twitter account if you can stop by and say "hi". You can even bring along your treasures or daughters to show off.
As an added bonus I might bring some おみやげ from Akiba along.
A special prize too for anyone who can guess the total value (in SGD) of the moneys in the picture. (including the value in my EZ Card) XD
Closest guess wins but you have to show up to win the prize.

Hope to meet some of you soon!

    Steve-san, sore-ga muzukashi desu ne!

    i'll go with $319.10 + $5.80 = $324.90

    the EZ-link card value is anyone's guess actually as it's the old generation card. i wonder if our EZ-Links have any expiry. i know that HK and Japan's cards do, or maybe just the tourist passes? pretty sure the regular HK MTR card has an expiry duration.

    hrmmm... meeting up would be nice but it depends on the timing and venue i guess. already have something on that day. >_<

    I'll whack an arbitary S$402.59.

    Would be nice to see you when you're around - it's a good reason to get off work early ;-)

    Wao! So many great responses!
    I think we should have quite a nice merry group. Will need a big place to hold us all.
    Any suggestions? I was thinking maybe a nice hawker market with lots of tables and good foods.
    Really looking forward to meeting you all. (and great guesses so far)

      I just hope we don't get caught for "illegal assembly" ;-)

      Some place like Swensen's, what do you think?

        I think hawker would be good cos it's cheap and Steve can experience the Singapore food culture... but for a big group... I'm not too sure.. will be quite crowded during peak hours ^^;

    hey steven,
    any updates about what time and which flight you're coming into singapore?

    i don't foresee having any activities although i might need to excuse myself for the screening of Earthings later in the evening - you can drop me a mail at sehsuan@yahoo.com if you want to have a local guide for the day. heck, i'm sure there's quite a few folks who might be able to meet you at the airport.
