SG Buzz Event in Munich

The Overseas Singaporean Unit (OSU) & Singaporeans in Germany Club (SGC) are proud to bring the Singapore (SG) Buzz Event Series to Germany! All Singaporeans and their spouses/partners are cordially invited to attend this event.

Launched in October 2007 by the Overseas Singaporean Unit, SG Buzz is a networking programme featuring luminaries from diverse fields like the arts, entertainment, sports and entrepreneurship, though not limited to these. Speakers hail from either niche or non-traditional fields &

 industries. These informal sessions allow for intimate networking and interaction with the speaker and among Overseas Singaporeans.

Our guest speaker will be Mr Wong Mun Summ, Co-founding Director of WOHA, a regional design practice based in Singapore. With a mix of designers from diverse backgrounds, its purpose is to create integrated design for the built environment, encompassing masterplanning, architectural, landscape, interior & lighting and furniture design.

Open to Singaporeans and their partners. Admission to the event is complimentary, but attendees should register beforehand so that we can estimate accurately the seating for the meeting and the quantity of food that we shall be requesting. Please note that the lunch menu will be Asian/halal.

Oktoberfest 2012 Gathering in Munich

A group of about 30 of us including spouses, children and students met up during the Oktoberfest Gathering in Munich on Sunday, 30 September 2012.  Our usual meeting place is in the Schützenfestzelt which is near to the Bavaria Statue.  This year's Oktoberfest celebration is combined with the Tag der Deutsche Einheit or Deutsche Wiedervereinigung celebration which Munich is hosting on 3 October!  Prost!

Prost!

Kaiserschmarrn, a delicious dessert which one should try!

A Singaporean couple on holiday also joined in the fun!

Dominik:  Nice dress you got there, Kayleigh.
Kay: Thanks, yours too! 

Overseas Singaporean Club

Do you all know about the Overseas Singaporean Club?  It is a way of being connected with the international Singaporean community, but in this case through the Overseas Singaporean Unit rather than the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and may therefore be more relevant to our requirements.

Register here - it is free and you will get a membership card which entitles you to benefits worldwide that the OSU has negotiated with various establishments.
