In the UK, Remembrance Sunday is held on the second Sunday in November, the Sunday nearest to 11 November – Armistice Day – and the anniversary of the end of the First World War. Remembrance Sunday is held “to commemorate the contribution of British and Commonwealth military and civilian servicemen and women in the two World Wars and later conflicts” (wiki).
But how to best commemorate it when I live in Singapore and it’s not part of any regular church services – as it is all over England?
Do what you have to, to get down to Forum tomorrow from 10am-8pm. Friday is Day One of the designer clothes sale of the century where immaculate second hand clothes go for a song (starting at $10).

I flew over, in part, to meet the new Singapore High Commissioner to the UK, whose office is nestled within a beautiful Mayfair crescent.
I always joke that if I ever met Christian Louboutin I would shake his hand and say a big thank you for making shoes I can actually walk in without wincing. The brilliant blood-red sole is his legendary trademark that, in a stroke of marketeers’ magic, is now also a trademark of any wearer’s purported taste.
Joy of joys, just before sipping in to my tracky bottoms and flying *economy* to London, I got to meet the man himself on his one night, whistle stop tour of Singapore on Saturday evening at his stand-alone store in Ngee Ann City. Read More
