Bad news... the tampines is now covering with high altitude cloud... But southern east (NSRCC) may be clear (according to weather forecast). Want to try our luck??

Have a nice day.

Ya... the risk factor seem to be too high... :(

I think I'll just wait and see first... If weather turn out better, I'll have a mini Mars Watch in Tampines.

Have a nice day.

That could fanastic reason to ob at Dempsey.Always pray very hard that the sky is so cloudy.With good excuse for one or two drinks instead.
Like they said in Philippines,we limit to two drinks.After second drinks, there will be no limit. :oops:

Just got back from Dempsey. Well, there's this HUGE spotlight (yes, full spectrum) at the car park behind the shops. So I have to go right to the end, but there are some activites going on there (tentage, portable electric generator, etc). Anyway, managed to look at Venus before the clouds rolled in. Maybe I will go back there again after midnight if the sky is clear.

Cheers!
