Cultural Diversity

Join us to walk the Singapore story. 🇸🇬 From Marina Barrage, where courage and vision turned water scarcity into resilience, we journey through Gardens by the Bay, a living reminder that Singapore can grow into a true City in Nature. Along the way we pause at Clifford Pier, remembering the forefathers who arrived with little but hope, building the foundations of the nation we now call home. Passing Fullerton and Esplanade, we see how far that journey has brought us — a vibrant global city shaped by resilience, unity and care for one another. As our walk ends, we gather to continue Dr Marie Ang self-care sharing starting with the sensation of Touch at AU office — a reminder that caring for our body, mind and community gives us the strength to continue their legacy. Because when we care for ourselves and each other, we can all stand up for Singapore and keep her story strong for generations to come. 🇸🇬 Please read this #1 - This is a number-controlled event. Please come only if you are on the attending list. #2 - We will move out at 0830 sharp. We are not able to wait for late-comers. #3 - As this is a limited number event, please check your calendar and make sure you can come before you RSVP. Do not change your attendance at the last minute and deny someone else who genuinely wishes to come.

This isn’t another “networking” meetup or light chat about self-improvement. It’s for introverts who are *done* staying stuck, people who might be quiet by nature, but strong in conviction. If you’ve reached a point where surface level motivation no longer satisfies you, and you’re ready to rebuild confidence, break limitations, and take meaningful action, his space was designed for you. **What to expect:** * Hosted personally by a someone who has walked the journey from quiet beginnings. A real-life practitioner who built a sustainable, five-figure passive income business from scratch, and continues to grow with the intention of scaling with like minded individuals. * Honest conversations in a safe, small group setting (no forced introductions). * Reflection exercises that uncover your true drive and pattern of action. * Discussions about personal breakthroughs, in confidence, career, relationships, and mindset. This meetup is not for those just “looking around.” It’s for those ready to decide that this year will not be another repeat of the last. If you’re still reading this and feel a quiet “yes” inside — welcome. You’re already part of the few who mean it.

Originating from Brazil, Samba was introduced to the US in the late 1920s through Broadway plays. American-styled Samba differs from Brazilian-styled Samba, where Samba is danced solo and during parades and carnivals. Today, Latin American Samba is characterized by its syncopated timing, rolling hip action, pelvic tilt and a slight bounce, while its rhythm is also expressed throughout the torso. Samba is a fun and lively dance that can be performed as an upbeat and sultry dance during a show or a competition, and as the joy of a party. ### **Address** 795, North Bridge Rd, #02-01 797, 198763 ### **Schedule** Sundays 330PM - 430PM ### **Booking Information** * Please contact **98225900** to find out how to book this class. * The instructor will reach out to you once you've booked the class.

Let’s meet for dinner and simply talk about life. This meetup is about slowing down after a long day, enjoying a simple, good meal together, and having relaxed, meaningful conversations. We can share stories, experiences, thoughts about life, or just chat about anything that comes to mind. Everyone comes from a different journey, and sometimes it’s really nice to sit down with a few friendly people, listen, laugh, and connect. This is not a networking event — just a casual dinner with people who enjoy genuine conversations and meeting new friends. Come with a friendly spirit and let’s enjoy a simple evening together. Sometimes friendships begin over the most ordinary dinners. 🍲😊
