First Photos of Singastro May 2005 Mersing Trip

Post by Airconvent »

The first night was a wash out.
I got lost in JB, arrived to rain in Mersing and the whole night up to midnight was cloudy. Only managed to catch Jupiter for 2-3 minutes. Drove back after that and was trapped in a causeway jam for over an hour (at 2.45am in the morning!!)
Anyway, here are some images taken earlier in the evening when people were all still hopeful...heh heh

aiyo, rich. You should have told me you are driving over there, then i can hitch a ride. At least you won't be so lonely driving to mersing alone, and i won't get trap at home during the weekend.

Thanks for the updates. Was wondering what's the status of the mersing trip up until now.

Regards,
Sam

aiyah...you were MIA lah! Have not heard from you in a while and Geraldine told me at Dr Bell's talk that you were unable to take leave. Wira called me around 10pm the night before and said he could not make it. I called a few people to see if they wanted to follow me but then realised everyone preferred to travel with the bus as their equipment is there. I think Chung Hooi would have followed me also if he knew....heh heh anyway, next time, ok? :-)
