Met the Singapore Prez Today & Took a Photo with him

June 3, 2010


I had a quick meet & greet moment with President S.R Nathan at a dinner reception & took a photo with him -

Me: "Hello Mr. President Sir, I'm Jamie a Eurasian working as an actor here in New York..."
President Nathan: "The Eurasian Community needs you back home in Singapore."
Me: "But Sir, I want to be the first Eurasian actor to represent the Eurasian Community to make it here in New York as an actor."

Then we took a photo together & his security officer yanked me away from The Prez - oh well...it was a nice chat.

I'm beginning to learn & fully realise w...
