British pop star Rita Ora dropped by the Apple store at Orchard Road on Monday for a surprise showcase, but here’s another revelation — she visited the Twitter Asia Pacific headquarters in Singapore to celebrate her 10th year on the social media platform with none other than Jack Dorsey himself. Dude looked a little grumpy — maybe that little retreat in Myanmar wasn’t that relaxing after all.
Thank you @RitaOra for dropping by @TwitterSG! Happy we celebrated your 10th Twitterversary with @jack @biz @leslieberland while you were in ! Hope you enjoyed connecting with your fans around the world during your 1st-ever #AskRitaOra Twitter Q&A! #SheInspiresMe #LoveTwitter pic.twitter.com/EOWA2Y8RkY

The co-founder and chief executive of Twitter apparently landed in Singapore on Monday as part of the platform’s 13th anniversary celebrations, which apparently involves Twitter execs going on a world tour to make office visits. There’s a hashtag called #Tweeptour if you want to check out their adventures.

The party appeared to be pretty lit, in a wholesome way. There were tastings of local drinks:

Helping out at Willing Hearts, a charity organization located in Geylang:
This stop on the #TweepTour wouldn’t be complete without #TwitterForGood. We helped package hundreds of meals for 5000 families in need. The @WillingHeartsSG lead said it best — “You all at Twitter are in the business of growing, but we hope one day we can shut down” @TwitterSG pic.twitter.com/kPkYyS2yi1
