Post by **weixing** » Tue Sep 19, 2006 9:04 am

Hi,

Haha! I'm the one on the front row... Laughing

Hmm... there are three male there, so which one is you?? ha ha ha

OK, I know... the left most at the front row.

Try my best, based on pict A, the newbies are 2 on the left and 3 on the right.
Back row : KC(Lily's husband), Jenny Tan (timpani), Chris, Richard, Colin, Roland, Weixiong, Ian's other half, Ian, Yvon(astrobabe), me
Front row : Jiayuan, Carole, Hoyan (Lily's daughter), Wenbin (my son), Lily with her son (Junwei).

Base on your description, from photo A:
Back Row (left to right): KC (Lily's husband), Chris Yeo (Chrisyeo), Colin (oxygn), weixiong (Traveler), Ian (ian0138)
Middle Row (left to right): Jenny Tan (timpani), Richard (rlow), Roland (Roma_my), Ian's other half, Yvon (astrobabe), Clifford (Clifford60)
Front Row (left to right): Jiayuan(COMMAND), Carole (May Yen), Hoyan (Lily's daughter), Wenbin (Clifford's son), Lily, Junwei (Lily's son)

So, the photo is not taken by Chris yeo and he is the one on the back row, 2nd to the left???

Hmm... doesn't look like Chris yeo at all... Can't recognize him at all... Need to check my eye or brain already... ha ha ha :oops: :oops:

Have a nice day.

Hey all romantic star-gazers...
You may want to know that Vega is 织女星 zhi nu xing (weaving maiden star) and Altair is 牛郎星 niu liang xing (cowherd star). They are on opposite 'banks' of the 银河 'silver river' (milky way). Well-known love story in Chinese folktales collection.

牛郎织女两相对
有缘相逢是为贵

Any romantic poet here would like to help me improve my poetry writing?

You are right on in 3 rows format. The photo was taken using remote, so everyone in the trip were in it. May be you haven't meet up with Chris for too long, so meet up to have your brain calibrated

Or maybe Chris had a makeover? ;)

Thanks Alvlin.
Still vaguely remember part of a Chinese poem that I learnt so long ago
卧看牵牛织女星

Can anybody fill in the missing part?

Hi,
Must be reading from one of the "Tang" dynasties peoms book for kids, right??

秋夕 by 杜牧
银烛秋光冷画屏，轻罗小扇扑流萤
天阶夜色凉如水，卧看牵牛织女星

Have a nice day.

Alamak, teacher says to do spelling correction 10 times...
niu lang xing (modern technology helps here... just copy-and-paste 10 times lah!)

Too much school stress... must follow you all to Mersing to see more 'xing xing'

He is looking for one... that's why so passionate, lugging all that heavy gear out to the field almost every Saturday night, nevermind the backaches and neckaches!
