Hi everyone, the Singapore Fossils Collector had our annual meet-up again! I last stated in 2019 it'd be the last event at my place due to my new responsibilities with marriage and a new house looming. Little did we know that the biggest hurdle of all would be Covid

 

And so for 4 years, all SG collectors gatherings were suspended. Much has changed. I am now a father, and I just got my own place 4 months ago! With my wife's permission, I finally got to host the annual gathering for Singapore fossil collectors again! This time, we even had friends from Malaysia and Vietnam joining!

 

To be honest, my new place is still messy, and most of the labels have not been printed. Still, I didn't want to delay the gathering to 2024, else we might not get to meet our overseas friends, so I hosted the meet-up

 

First up, a quick look at some of my cabinets:

Some of my acquisitions for the day: (For those wondering, these are mostly a mix of Malaysia and Vietnamese fossils. There are many copal from Malaysia that I did not photograph here)

Thank you for viewing, and see you again next year!

All in all, everyone seemed to enjoy themselves and form new friendships, so all in all, I'd say it's a success! If any of you are visiting Singapore, don't hesitate to ring me up!

Fantastic collection! Even better than the last exposés! Great that you could finally all get back together again. And thanks to your wife for giving permission :)

A wonderful assortment! Thank you for the visual tour and congratulations on the successful, fun gathering.
