I recieved an invitation for a tribute reception for volunteers with President SR Nathan on 29 August at the Istana. I was nominated by AWWA TeachMe Services. Was quite surprised to recieve the invitation. I suppose it sounds grand, to be invited for a reception with Mr President himself. But I think it's going to be just a simple social fuction where you go and smile at a whole bunch of strangers, take some finger food and then fade into the background after 5 minutes.

Nevertheless, I'm going for it!

The last time I went to the Istana was when I was about 3 or 4 years old. My dad took the whole family there for a picnic when the grounds were opened for a day at that time. He took many slides of us. Yes, slides. I have a slide projector at home. Maybe I should take it out to dust it and then put on the whole slideshow for him to watch.
Err...him as in my boyfriend. Not my father.

Anyway, the Istana...yeah....it will bring back memories....
