[neoro]

Dear All,

I can't make it back this weekend. The bus arrangement returning to Singapore on Sunday is not feasible for me. Looks like I would need to do it in June >.<

[nfariz8]

Dear All,

[eAgleyes]

Ok, guys. This time I will try but before 12pm, I'll have to go. Got another Nikonian outdoor shoot at 1pm.

Please confirm the venue and time. :)

If only we had so many people last time, we could have ventured out more often.

[eAgleyes]

Neoro, if I understand correctly, you are in S'pore right? Have you tried http://www.aeroline.com.sg or http://www.aeroline.com.my? They might have seats.

[calios]

phew, i was just preparing the antidote for your mpe-65.. gives me two months to fine tune the formula now.. hehe..

it gives you ample time to rebuild your wealth and get the em-pee-ee just before next outing in june with neoro...

btw i'm all open for any plan this coming weekend...

hmnn can give direction from federal highway?

[orionmystery]

hmnn can give direction from federal highway?

Just explore the interactive map and you should be able to find FH. :)

[liewwk]

hmnn can give direction from federal highway?

which direction from KL or from subang ?
1. from subang
- go up to Taman Jaya ---> turn left toward State or Amcorp ----> go straight till roundabout turn 9 oclock or just left turn ----> straight pass by Assunta Gal school ------> reach traffic light and have no other choice here make left turn ------> immediate keep right and you will see a shop lot beside the school field ----> turn right into the shop lot

Be there 815am - 830am i will be there for minum

0133956261

2. from KL
- go up Hospital University -----> make left turn toward Old klang road or KWSP building ----> straight pass by a BIG church on your right ------> keep left and you will reach the an old shop lot at your left make left turn into it ...

then meet at end of the shop RAJU

[klguy]

hmnn can give direction from federal highway?

If you are coming from KL, immediately after passing the Arch, keep to innermost left lane. Take the left turn (up sliproad) at the EPF building.

Keep going straight, after passing the Shell petrol stations. After about 500 metres, and after going downhill, you will see Siamese Temple on your right. At that point there is a turning to your left at some shops. Take this left turn.

After about 50 metres, there are shops on your right. The most crowded one will be Raju's. That's where most of the guys will be having their breakfast.

If you are late, keep going straight until you come to a T-junction. Directly at this junction will be a small sign showing the way to Bukit Gasing. Turn right here and go straight for about 1 km. You will be there when you see lots of cars parked along the road. There will be a small playground on your right. Ask anyone there (lots of joggers) where the main entrance is.

And finally look for guys / gals with cameras and huge flashes, having a meeting in the monsoon drain !!!!! :0:0:0

[yuliang11]
