SG 60

For the longest time I wondered if there was a new and modern way to abbreviate the name of the garden-state of Singapore. Finally I found it: SG. As written in bold letters, all caps, SG 60, at the entrance to the ballroom of Shangri-La at The Fort, last Wednesday night.

SG 60 meant it was Singapore's 60th National Day, thus the red carpet rolled out for Ambassador Constance See's guests. Madame ambassador's cocktail dress was orchidaceous, each blossom delicately embroidered in pink and lavender. "Got this in Singapore," she said.
