The theme for last weekend revolved around my hometown, Singapore! I attended the Singapore recruitment event on Friday evening at Telstra Dome and went to celebrate Singapore day with 11,000 other Singaporeans at Sidney Myer Music Bowl on Saturday.
The recruitment event was mainly made up of Singapore companies in finance, healthcare and engineering industries. There was a nice videoclip of Singapore Marina Bay area, the lifestyle of the people and the buildings around Singapore river. It made me miss home! I had the chance to talk to ANZ CEO in Singapore, Bill Foo. Most companies told me to apply for an internship back home during December-February school break. Let's see... The rest of the companies include MINDEF, MAS, SANDS, Capitaland, Far East Organisation, Vestas, and so on.
The next day, I had a great time at the Singapore day! As usual, we had to queue and queue like in Singapore, but it was all worth it. There was hawker food I have been missing so much, like Hokkien Mee, Char Kway Teow, Chilli Crab, Kaya Toast, and so on! And everything was free!!! There was also a concert where Phua Chu Kang family acted a sketch, Tay Ping Hui & Hardy Mirza sang, and my favourite band Electrico was in town too!
Melbourne weather was great on Singapore day, we were picnicing under the sun and enjoying food from home. The Hokkien Mee was from the Wisma Food Republic stall! Perfect! It was great to be home in Melbourne. =)

Hi Cynthia,
I found this blog through google. I'm thinking about applying for MBS for 2009 or 2010 intake. I've spent some time to search the current students information but found not much.
Your blog really helps.
Thanks and keep blogging, also have a good time in MBS!
