Singapore society

Today I learnt that

- my mum's friend's sister is SR Nathan's neighbour

- my mum's friend and husband are close friends with Lee Hsien Loong, and their kids used to play together when they were young

- each kid had one bodyguard and the whole group had another one or two more bodyguards

- Ong Teng Cheong is somehow related to Lee Kwan Yew who is somehow related to Wee Kim Wee through a series of marriages, re-marriages, cousins multiple times removes and just pure blood relations

- my mum's friend is the personal assistant of Steven Riady, and she personally met his father Mochtar Riady when she was my age

- the psychologist Danny Ng who came to guest speak at NJC once at a talk I supposedly hosted was my mother's close friend. He calls her Da Jie.

- my mother's friend's neighbour is famous lawyer Subhas Anandan

Hehe I suddenly feel so close to the upper echelons of the Singapore society.
