message: I know it is too early to talk about it now, as school has just started for most of us. Is anyone interested in a March holiday meetup? Suggestions please? Thank you. --Terence Ong Talk 10:36, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Hmmh? I tot it's Jimbo's treat, ... not meh? --Vsion (talk) 07:37, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: lol! Anyway I would love for an earlier meet amongst some of us first lah. Dont want any embarrasing moments infront of a visitor. :D--Huaiwei 13:22, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

text: Good idea, maybe where we can have a drink or something. Casual one lah. Dunno whether Jimbo paying or not. I hope we can get at least 15. Maybe gettng Angela to come may be easier. Maybe we should bring Jimbo to a hawker centre, seafood looks too common. :D --Terence Ong (恭喜发财) 14:42, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

text: The only problem is there are so many around, so pls suggest some! :D--Huaiwei 20:14, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Hi. I don't think I could come to Singapore in July, but it's possible I will be there in mid-June. This is very tentative for now, but I should know more in a week, so perhaps having an earlier meetup before the July one would be possible? Angela. 11:57, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Finally confirmed - I will be at a conference in Singapore 21-22 June. The conference ends at 6pm on the 22nd, so perhaps a meetup could be held that evening? Angela. 01:43, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not sure yet as its a long way to go. I will confirm it on May 25 again. Evening should be ok. --Terence Ong 04:20, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The 23rd would be better since I don't know whether I'm expected to do anything the evening of the 22nd when the conference ends. I have all day Friday free and leave that night, so something in the afternoon would be ideal. Angela. 19:11, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Angela's thinking...

message: I've just spoken to jimbo, and he says he doesn't have a hard invite for "the July thing". As such he may not make it down here. NSLE (T+C) at 02:12 UTC (2006-04-26)
::Where? On IRC? Oh dear. Hope he CAN come...anyway, we know Angela IS coming for sure. :)-- 陈鼎翔  贡献 Chat with Tdxiang on IRC! 09:14, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Jimbo might not make it 

message: Very few have selected the time, where to dine, what to do for the meetup. If this is the case, I have nothing to say. Does it mean we are doing last minute planning? --Terence Ong (Chat | Contribs) 16:28, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: NO. Let's do it by 16 June 2006 by 24 UTC.-- 陈鼎翔  贡献 和 CCD 維基和平 Chat with Tdxiang on IRC! 06:59, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Planning 

message: I asked Angela over IRC and she was not very keen of Indian food, I plan to choose somewhere else. Any suggestions? --Terence Ong (Chat | Contribs) 07:26, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: So we should disclude dinner...okay.-- 陈鼎翔  贡献 和 CCD  Chat with Tdxiang on IRC! 04:05, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

text: Listen up! By Tuesday, 20 June 2006, 17.00 SGT, I shall book the tables for lunch. All late applications will be forfeited. That's all I have to say.
-- 陈鼎翔  贡献 和 CCD  Chat with Tdxiang on IRC! 04:10, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, include dinner is for social purposes, don't disclude it. I repeat DON'T DISCLUDE IT. The tour can be finished before dark, so leave dinner, we can't let Angela leave Singapore on an empty stomach. --Terence Ong (Chat | Contribs) 05:14, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

text: Then where do we have dinner?-- 陈鼎翔  贡献 和 CCD  Chat with Tdxiang on IRC! 05:19, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Lunch is at 1200PM SGT, at The Banana Leaf Apollo, 56 Race Course Road.See Map for location. Thanks.-- 陈鼎翔  贡献 和 CCD  Chat with Tdxiang on IRC! 10:08, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Perfect, thanks.  See you there.  I need to be back at Downtown East (Pasir Ris MRT stop) by 1400, so I should probably leave lunch around 1300.  :) kmccoy (talk) 11:16, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

text: I believe around S$20 - 30 per pax, may be cheaper if you don't order expensive items or a lot. I was liked puzzled by the word "disclude", was it coined or something? The sad thing is we won't get to sit on Duck Tours or Hippo Tours as it costs SGD33 due to financial reasons. If Sentosa is too boring, we may go to other places. Underwater World and Dolphin Lagoon costs SGD19.50, hope its not too pricey. Sentosa admission fee SGD 2, bus SGD 1, Carlsberg Sky Tower SGD10.90. If this is not a financial problem, everything shall go as planned. Tourism alone can cost a bomb i.e. SGD50, food SGD 30. I believe it can be SGD 20 or 15 even. We may all go broke by the end of the day. --Terence Ong (Chat | Contribs) 14:34, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: If it's that expensive, I'm afraid I won't be able to join you guys after lunch. Is it possible to keep the cost for the whole day down to $20 per pax? Kimchi.sg 16:01, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Should we change it to Komala Villa's then? I think it can go down to at least 10/day, if you order the not so expensive stuff. --Terence Ong (Chat | Contribs) 03:38, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I have cut the budget down already, only the lunch is slightly pricey, no paid attractions, unless you guys want to enter the museums which is SGD 3. Terence Ong (Chat | Contribs) 04:01, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

text: (resetting indent) Please confirm with Ding Xiang if he knows where you want to change it to. We don't want him to book the tables only to find that we've a last-minute change of plans. Kimchi.sg 08:47, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I was checking my restaurant guide and it say the prices range from under SGD20/pax to around SGD40/pax, I believe its more on the dishes you order than the item. --Terence Ong (Chat | Contribs) 09:04, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Lunch and dinner 

message: I believe it's the dry season right now. Even so, once in a while there may be a downpour, so it is important for us to have a wet weather plan if it rains. I see we have 3 plans, so why not take 1 of them and convert it into a wet weather plan? (I.e, no outdoor walking, all travelling between destinations by either bus or MRT only, destinations must be sheltered). Kimchi.sg 16:09, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Go ahead, its a Wiki, come on, propose a new plan, be bold! I just really pray it will not rain and we will have a nice hot and sunny weather. --Terence Ong (Chat | Contribs) 16:21, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: This is the dry season?! kmccoy (talk) 01:55, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  What if it rains? 

message: Is Little India MRT Station near Swissôtel or should I get a cab? Your answer should take into consideration the fact that I can't read maps and get lost very easily. :) Angela. 13:12, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Taking a cab would be good, though you can take the MRT from City Hall to Dhoby Ghaut and change to North East Line to Punggol and stop at Little India MRT Station. --Terence Ong (Chat | Contribs) 13:18, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

text: If you need to get there in a hurry, the route by taxi is: flag the taxi at Stamford Road, tell the driver to go straight down Stamford Road, turn right into Prinsep Street, go straight down Selegie Road, then finally, turn left at the junction of Selegie Road and Bukit Timah Road. The station's entrance is not far down Bukit Timah Road. Kimchi.sg 13:27, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Where is Little India MRT Station? 

message: Question as above. I will be emailing everyone who is on the list and has email, asking for their mobile phone (handphone/cellular phone) numbers. Angela, please email me if you have your mobile phone working in Singapore. In return, I will be announcing my number in the email, not here for privacy reasons. :) Kimchi.sg 13:22, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, there's pics of Angela around on Wiki, and you've met Terence before, and I've met him before, so the only problem would be the others. :P NSLE 13:28, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't have a mobile phone. I'll probably wear a Wikipedia T-shirt so you can spot me easily enough. Angela. 13:45, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The concourse is where the "passenger service centre" is. It's not near the Bukit Timah Road entrance, so do follow the signs. ^_^ Kimchi.sg 13:50, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

text: Come to think of it, I'll expose my phone number so that the rest of you can keep your hidden. I've emailed my handphone number to everyone not in my handphone's contacts list (Angela, NSLE, Tdxiang, ZhongHan, and Kmccoy). Even if you don't have a mobile phone, you can still call from a public telephone. Kimchi.sg 14:07, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  How will we recognise each other? 

message: Hi Guys! 
I'm in Singapore since end of 2014. Now we have September 2015 (and nothing happend here in between) - So Wikipedians of Singapore, I wanna do a serious Singapore Wikipedia Meetup, I would like to ask everyone to join this Meetup (website)-group (for free). The main purpose of Meetups is meeting people in person, if you don't live in Singapore, you might wanna find or create your own Meetup-group in your City/Country, currently there are nearly 20 groups available worldwide.
I would like to catch up with the Wikipedia Numbering on the Event number 8, the event is scheduled here: http://www.meetup.com/Singapore-Wikipedia-Meetup/events/225136810/ - I've also created a FB-group for other discussions at: https://www.facebook.com/groups/sgwikimeetup/ or use the Twitter Hashtag #WikipediaSG - if you're still using IRC, you can find me 24/7 on: #wikipedia-singapore - if you don't know what it is, I'll recommend you trying a free and anonymous IRC service like IRCCloud.com 
Let's build our very own local community, if you have any comments, please let me know! --huggi - never stop exploring (talk) 08:06, 5 September 2015 (UTC)
