    Hi guys,

    Thanks for the wonderful turnout. I was expecting a small group of about 6 to 10 person maximum, but it seems like there is always interest to go for a quick romp in the farms.

    Firstly, my sincere appreciation to the drivers who was kind enough to help provide transport for the other members who don't drive.

    Secondly, a note of appreciation for everyone who kept to the timing so that the program could run as planned. Even those who could not make it informed me in advanced so that alternative arrangements could be made.

    For those who doubted if we had female members in our community, you usually get to seem them during these outing. I'm also glad to see some making this a family event and brought along the missus and the kids. Hope they had as much fun as we did.

    On the point that the excursion did not extend beyond C328 after lunch, it's a shame. I think some of us wanted very much to go to Lorong Harlus, but it's best saved for another trip. Easier on the time and the pocket. Besides, given the heat, the morning program already zapped quite a bit of our energy (at least the older ones like myself). Anyway, pictures are on the second page of this thread.

    As usual, we will definitely do it again! Perhaps sooner than the 9 month break since the last one. Once again, thanks guys, for making this excursion possible.

    Cheers,

    Thanks for the trip, AQ...
    To the rest, thanks for the company. This is the first time I see such a large group. Sorry I have to miss the lunch with you guys.
    The most valuable lesson from today's trip is learning how to grade CRS from a nice staff from Qian Hu.

    Haha, sorry fellas, didn't get most of your nicks and names but I'll remember a number of you folks. My thanks goes to yappeyap (Alex) and his wife for the lift in their car, and of course, to Mr Benny for organising the whole thing.

    I finally got to know eddy_planer as well. Nice knowing you and your family. Plus, you got a great kid there in Titus, the little one. Not forgetting your elder son and your daughter. We had a great time hunting for snails at Teo's.

    Benny and the rest, my apologies for not having lunch with you folks. I left for Tiong Bahru soon after we returned to C328, ended up bringing home a Corydoras reynoldsi and a pair each of 2 different Brachygobius species. Lotsa corys there for the catfish nuts and I did spot a number of Tiger Oto still available in the store.
    Fish.. Simply Irresistable
    Back to Killies... slowly.
