I get it now. Why we did what we did. Just sharing a few thoughts.

Why the location is secret..it feels even more exciting when the location is kept a mystery. Keeps the anticipation up.

Why we paid the $25..it's not only DEB membership but the transport costs, venue costs, entertainment costs and other logistical & security arrangements. After considering these other costs, the $25 seems like a very reasonable cost to me.

Why we bring our own tables, chairs, plates/food..it feels like we're not just passive participants like in most events where everything is set up & ready for us. It feels even more satisfactory when we each take co-ownership of the event & fulfilled our roles, which in the end contributed majorly towards the success of the event.

Why we did as we're instructed..it's not just that we're rule-abiding, I would guess that it's the promise of a magical enchanting night that kept us going & willing to follow DEB's instructions. Being in all-white definitely gave the event an otherworldly special feel. Also being the first Asian city to host DEB, I guess in our hearts, we all wanted Singapore to shine in the eyes of the world.

About the controversy: I believe the story is not about how you fall, but how you get up after you fall. In this sense, DEB has exemplified the value of respect that it aims to promote. DEB apologized for it's mistakes, took responsibility of the situation, explained its stance calmly to their critics & never once became defensive. I applaud DEB for showing such class.

Thank you Clemen, Nicole, the DEB organizing committee & your hardworking volunteers for such an amazing night. It was as magical as you said it would be. And it was very well-organized. When telling my family & friends about this event, for sure i will have nothing but glowing reviews. A few of my friends are already interested to join next year's DEB.

Au revoir DEB..till next year.

Merci :)

Thank you again for organizing the event!! Simply love it. Printed photograph for a souvenir, BRILLIANT idea. I have it everywhere now, in my wallet, on my phone, FB timeline & even updated my DEB profile picture. I know I sound like a groupie, but the post-DEB energy still lingers, so bear with me...

It was an amazing night! I will never forget our first white dinner (: The location was simply gorgeous and elegant. Great atmosphere and it was really a beautiful night. Thank you organisers and leaders for your effort, enthusiasm and everything else in between!

Dear Shi Hui

Ya it was really a challenge keeping the secret for SO LONG!!!

Other than the respective government agencies, nobody knew about the secret place.

And we're very glad that finally we could "release" the secret! :)

Thanks Clement, Nicole and the whole team who contributed to a wonderful night. It turned out to be an amazing and beautfiful night, beyond expectation.
Thanks for all the efforts you have made to make Singapore become the first country in Asia and was successful. The venue is fantastic and amazing idea to use boat as transportation.

But i think i saw some people not using Perrier Jouet champagne. Maybe they hided inside the basket...

Hi Clement, Nicole,
I would like to congratulate your efforts in bringing this event to Singapore.
We have a wonderful evening and i think that the entire event was very well organized.

Even though your words read to us on the bus were a little corny, but it truly a evening for dreams. Let the dream goes on and i would be most happy to participate, volunteer if need be for next year events.

Three cheers to the organizers!! Hip Hip Horray!!! x 3..:p

As a side note : regarding the food debacle, i would really like to look at that positively. It has no doubt brought more awareness to Diner En Blanc and arise the passion of local food. There is nothing to really regret upon about the "miscommunication".

Dear Richard

I know the message must have sounded corny when you're on the journey to the Secret Place... The scenes of the event were played out in my mind so many times for the last 6 months and I'm so "into it". ;)

Thank you for your feedback. :)

Thanks Clemen, Nicole, the volunteers and the whole crew of DEB Singapore for the fantastic evening we had!
As an event manager, I could easily recognize all the efforts that you had to make to organize DEB Singapore - and I hope that you will receive the deserved credit for that. It saddens me that, even today, the focus of the news still is the miscommunication. But hopefully with time only the great memories of yesterday's amazing night will remain.

Rain is something we can't control. We just have to make the most out of it! So let your hair down and enjoy the evening!

Dear Lucas

It was raining the whole afternoon until around 5.30pm. Then the sky slowly starts to open up with the strong wind blowing away the clouds.

It's a miracle we had such amazing weather last night! :)

Will it be alright to bring coloured umbrellas on such short notice?
Comment

Dear Yvonne

I saw some of the diners carrying black umbrellas! Thank goodness we don't have to use the umbrellas.
