Hmmmm, :wink: 8) :lol: I will be going if it is at tampines. Actually thereis quite a dark site opposite Tampines Library. It is within walkin distance from Tampines interchage, and the library is a good land mark. :roll: 8). I can bring my ETX60 eventhough it might be too small in aperture.

Hi,
I check out the grass field near the DBS bank and the MRT... It may be just too small, too near the road and also the field is cover with a layer of sand, So I think it may not be suitable :(.

Anyway, I just remember that there is a grass field between the Simei MRT, East Point Shopping Centre and the resident area. I will go down to check out the area later to see if it is suitable.

Have a nice day.

Where ever you guys are having it, do not have it somewhere too dark where not many people pass by. This is supposed to be for them, remember?

Hi,
After discussion with Samuel and Debash, We decided that the grass field beside Simei MRT and east point shopping centre are suitable. We will meet outside the Simei MRT at 19:45 tomorrow evening. Any comments?

Have a nice day.

If you want to come, we can share a cab from Toa Payoh (we could do the same for the journey back too). Wei Kang is coming along with me, and there is still room for you. We are meeting at the taxi stand at 7:15pm.

I'll be in school up till 7pm, so I won't be going from Toa Payoh with you Sam. However it is ok that we share the cab back, so i'm comin'. I'll meet you guys at simei mrt stop. As for what i'll bring, just myself, to help with some publicity, since i've got no scopes, only a fungus-filled bino :lol:
