Hi,
Waaah...you have become a celebrity in Tampines!
No lah... :oops: Not quite used to handle this type of PR thing... may be SingAstro should have a PR guy, so that can always direct this type of "lobang" to him. :P
Did you manage to mention Singastro and SF2004?
I did mention SingAsto and the SingAstro Website... but I think I forget to mention SF2004... It was a little rush. :(
When did the interview take place?
Although he did ask me a few questions on the spot, but no interview was conducted. He send me an email with 17 Questions for me to answer on 21 Sep 2004. I initially intend to direct to either Remus or Arief (since it is for a malay newspaper), but he say he had taken a picture of me with the scope and the deadline was very rush, so he prefer me to answer it and fast. I reply him on 22 Sep 2004 and he told me that the article will be out on Sunday Newspaper... quite surprise that it come out on the Saturday Newspaper... :o

Have a nice day.
