HEYYO NYCO!
ONE MORE DAY AND YOU ALL ARE LEAVING FOR SYDNEY! :( :) ALL THE BEST OKAY! DO YOUR BEST! :) ^^ and remember to reach the airport on time!
Anyway, here are some stuff about singapore that you all should know! :)
ABOUT SINGAPORE:
Singapore is an urbanised city-state that is part of Southeast Asia. It is located at the southern tip of the Malayan Peninsula between Malaysia and Indonesia (quoted from Wikipedia). Singapore is as big as the size of Chicago (around 646 square kilometers), around 3.5 times more than the size of Washington DC (so you get a rough idea how big/small singapore is)
Singapore has a population of 4740737 (as of July 2011) and is a multiracial society. There are about 76.8% of Chinese, 13.9% of Malays, 7.9% of Indians and 1.4% of other races.
Singapore is governed by the People's Action Party (the government type is parliamentary republic) and we celebrate National Day on 9 August every year.
I think this is a very very brief intro about Singapore but as Singaporeans, I'm sure you all know a lot more and if you really want (or should I say, you should), go research about Singapore on the internet. If you find anything very interesting, you can post it here! ^^
ABOUT NYGH:

There is also a sectional practice hall and 15 individual music studios located at Level 2. The sectional practice hall has floor area equal to the Concert Hall stage area and can be separated into three rooms when needed.
