AQ Field Outing - 28 September 2013

[David]

you already got a 90%.....that is all good. Be happy with that percentage because a lot of us do not even have half the amount.

[eddy planer]

Ha ha ha..my queen is actually not keen about my crazy passion of planted tanks, palu/viva and my DIY, She does nag at me for long time that I had taken up the whole balcony space ...4ft tall Exo Terra tank and 6ft long tank with overflow system and my DIY projects. She used to lament where is she going to positional her 20 wild Orchids since the whole balcony has been fully occupied plus another 3 Scotts bikes. So she already given up keeping Orchids , now she got new hobby already..But of overall, she still support 99% of my passion and caution of my spending power on my passion.

Well , just her the reassure her, you are good man willing to spend more time with her then your passion. that's what I did it. But don't let her catch you if your fishes living a better life than your wife...by adding a hungry energy eater..the water chiller to your planted tank!

[Wildbear]

Wife and 2 kids will tag along. may not able to help ferry the group.

No changes on locations?

...

No more just official form or what required ..this made us look like an idiot ,lah

I'm just joking, Eddy. :-p

[David]

Erh this is getting confusing. hahaha!!!

Can I request for a favour from members driving and has kindly offered ferry service to state your point of pick up to your convince? Do try to make it at MRT station of your choice so that those who like to tag with your vehicle is able to decide?

Members who are tagging with members' car please indicate who you are tagging with so he or she may know who and whether his or her vehicle is full?

Is everyone confused?....I think I am already.....

[vinz]

David, fix meeting point first. Then those who can get there on their own state so and we can carpool from there.

Members can still arrange their own pickups to get to start point.

[lkerhsien]

It is extremwly confusing. Rofl.

[felix_fx2]

@vinz, we'll use c328 as meet up point again. those who gonna meet to hitch ride can settle via their own group pm/whatsapp.

@bennyc, you funny haha. cannot should have edited ma. look so messy lol. btw think excel can print to jpeg right? or just printscreen.

[vinz]

Felix, don't make sense to make C328 the start point for people who live on the east side. I'll think of somewhere by end today. This morning got something to rush.

We do Seletar and Pasir Ris. The other venues we can do as a another field trip.

[vinz]

Those who are going, please CONFIRM yourself by adding yourself to the list. (Copy and paste the most recent one, including the instructions, then add yourself in the list.)

If not a concern, please indicate roughly where you live or coming from, so that others can offer a lift or cab-pool to the start point.
Indicate if you are driving and how many passengers you can ferry (excluding yourself).

If you can't meet us at the start point, or you live near one of the destinations, you can meet us at one of the destinations and join us. We'll publish the addresses and links to Google Map and approximate meeting time soon.

Time: 9am meet at rendezvous point. End at final destination at about 12+pm. Then we co-ordinate transport to disperse at the final location (e.g. lifts to MRT stations or other destinations, etc).

Hi Vinz,

Since you say it is not feasible to meet C328 as the start point, shall we meet somewhere in the middle where we can jolly park our cars FOC and have coffee at the nearby coffee shop while we're the drivers waiting for other members ( 3mins from MRT) to come. I 'm thinking of GC as the start point where we can park FOC right in front of GC, and moreover, the PIE is a just one-minute drive. agree?

[vinz]

Thanks Eddy. I was thinking something closer to Pasir Ris. At least people who live near there don't travel too far.

On the other hand, I'm also thinking of setting C328 as the Western rendezvous for west staying people. I think other than you requesting C328, Berny is in west too. Then set another Rendezvous closer to Pasir Ris.

[Wildbear]

Thou I not able to help ferry, may I suggest possible met up point?

Bishan MRT station: If you look into the full MRT map, its central, link to all the lines. Car can wait at J8 loading and unloading bay just behind station. Excess to CTE within 5mins (Saturday light traffic).

Dhoby Ghaut station: Centralise, link to all lines. car can wait behind PS near to taxi stand. But excess to highway further and meeting time may have to be earlier.

Pasir Ris station: Straight forward meeting point. Amber space for car to wait.

[vinz]

Those already on the list, please indicate where you are coming from or if you have already arranged a lift. It'll help us think of better rendezvous points.

Okay Vinz

Just let me know, for what I know the West members like Simon, Berny and the others. I don't mind the wait at C328 to pick them up. Just direct me when you confirm the situation.
