Jointly organised by the Rotary clubs of Tanglin, Queenstown, Singapore North, Bugis Junction, Singapore Centennial & Garden City, this was a local version of the popular german beer festival, held at the exclusive Tanglin Club on Friday 29th September, 2006.
The highlights of the evening includes an authentic German/Bavarian Feast coupled with music by an authentic German-Swiss-Austrian Country live band called "The Alpiners". This unique band is made up of 14 top executives, investment bankers, librarians and scientists (including 2 german rotarians) all working in Singapore who were brought together by their passion for playing in a brass band after office hours.
While the original volunteer from Temasek included 9 members, only 6 were required. Our lucky representatives were Jayne Seet, Forrest "the funman" Chan, Olisa Molokwu, Zeeshan, Kelly Lim and Shilpa Sehgal (representing RAC Bombay West).
Our team had fun manning a perculiar german hammering game and a ball throwing game. The food spread was amazing, including a sumptious apple strudel dish that was snapped up so quickly that Jayne, Olisa and Shilpa resorted to being content with only eating the cream - er no, custard.
Great fun! This event deserves a big Temasek -HOO!
"Here at the Oktoberfest, we've run out of apple strudel, so here's what Shilpa's decided to do..."
She's decided to have the cream alone, although she insists that it's custard so it's not so fattening. Jayne backs her up.
