This weekend was a serendipitous crossover of family and close friends in Singapore.
There was a group of 10 of us, a few based in Singapore, and the rest of us travelling for the holidays.
The default hang-out idea is to find a place with good food, but this time I decided to make an occasion of the crossover.
A number in the group enjoy go-karting, so I organised for us to head to Karting Jurong, a well-maintained track on the western side of Singapore.
8 of us participated, with a short qualifying followed by a 10 lap race.
There was banter, and competition, and a whole bunch of laughs; all of which added something special to the day. Of course, we followed up the karting with Hawker Centre food.
Grabbing a bite or a coffee is easy, but doing something a bit different, sometimes just because you can, is a great way to build shared experiences.
