Thanks to Danny for proposing this great place, and thanks for being such a gracious and hospitable host. Your observation deck is great...

also...Thanks to Chee Chien who made this event possible on singastro, and Richard Airconvent for being the official 'paparazzi' photographer.

I agree with David's suggestion that events like this should be held regularly as it is a good opportunity for fellow singastro members to socialise and to really get to know each other by face, not just by their signature or avatar. For example, now I can differentiate between the faces of Shoelevy, Ayumi and Kim Hai !!!

Rich,

Sabo lah! Now they are suspecting what other stuff did I buy???
I tell my family that I just bought a"plastic" box for binoviewer.
Now they are interograting me on what other stuff that I bought besides box and what Pentax????

Die lah.
