It was a night to remember as The Working Capitol celebrates its 4th anniversary in style. Located at 1 Keong Saik Road, the place was merely a short walking distance from Outram MRT station. I met up with Jane and we were greeted by a Flea Market preview hosted by one of their partners at the first floor entrance.
We proceed on to the lounge area at the second floor for our registration and goodie bag where we found items that incite a nostalgic vibe such as the Donkey playing cards and the spring toy which my girl finds it so amusing.
The actual party was held on another level up at The Commons which is an event space that is often used for celebrations by various other companies and organisations. The party kicks off at exactly 1920 hrs, commemorating the era in which the flagship at 1 Keong Saik was built.
The theme of the party was 'Time' and along with celebrating the past, present and the future of The Working Capital, we were treated to some great Singaporean dishes. The Nasi Lemak from The Coconut Club is one such dish and there is also a self service Kachang Puteh Bar, perfect for some free flow nuts to bring back the memories of our yesteryears.
We were also given a drink coupon that we can use to redeem one drink out of the four specially curated cocktails by Bula Global Trade, the liquor distributors as well as their new partners taking over the 1KS Cafe and Beer Garden. I chose the Curried Sourz but in the end I prefer Jane's Gin Chryst. These 4 cocktails were meant to tell a story of their journey at The Working Capitol and how they have grown over the years.
Taking the mandatory group photos at the photo booth to bring back for memories. It was kind of challenging when we took the six people photo as there is no preview on the screen but we finally managed with this nice shot after a few tries.
Dee found the little art area set out at the balcony. So, Dee, Jane and myself, we went to try out hands at painting our own tiles with the idea revolving around our dreams.
My Arts really stays at Primary School level but my dream is really that simple, to be happy. What makes me happy is really just time spent with my loved ones.
These painted tiles will be immortalised as a mural on the exterior facade of The Working Capitol together with the artwork of visual artist MaryAnn Loo (@penguingirl_art).
During the later part of the night, a silent auction featuring a handful of items such as antique centrepieces, staycations and more were held. However, due to the excitement of everyone, it was not much of a "silent" auction. The proceeds of over two thousand dollars gathered from this Silent Auction all goes to their beneficiary at Daughters of Tomorrow.
It was interesting to explore and learn how The Working Capitol is redefining the way people work. It is not only just a coworking space but also a lifestyle provider with its own cafe and beer garden. It offers a range of workspace solutions suited for entrepreneurs and small business with private offices, meeting rooms and event hall. Community programmes and events are also held for networking purposes.
Thank you for the Media Invite!
