Saturday Night's Shepherd's Pie Making for Sunday's Lunch

Made Shepherd's Pie for Niangzi to bring to her Sunday lunch "girls only" office party for all the little shepherdess' to eat.

Made 2 pies.

The little pie was for them.

Since I wasn't invited, I naturally made a huge one just for myself.... but couldn't finish and had to invite parents over tonight to help eat.

ASTRONOMY 2008

Start:	Aug 16, '08 10:00a
End:	Aug 16, '08 5:00p

Dear fellow astronomer,

On behalf of SINGASTRO, the largest online astronomy forum in
Singapore, I am pleased to invite you to attend ASTRONOMY 2008 which
is to be held at the Singapore Art Museum (The Glass Hall) in
Singapore on the 16th of August, 2008 (Saturday). ASTRONOMY 2008 is a
full-day astronomy event and open to public (free admission) from the
hours of 10AM to 5PM. This event will feature a series of astronomy
talks ranging from astrophysics theories to practical astronomy, and
even an interactive workshop on astronomy imaging. There will also be
poster exhibits that will enlighten attendees on astronomy topics such
as the Solar System, to Deep Sky objects. The attendees will also be
treated to a collection of original astronomy images captured by our
local budding astrophotographers and around South East Asia. Other
interesting activities include a documentary screening on cosmology,
instant lucky draws, sun-gazing (viewing of the Sun with specialized
telescope instruments in Hydrogen Alpha, expect to see flares and
prominences on the sun!), the opportunity to view the largest
private-based telescope in South East Asia (bigger than the one at the
Science Center Observatory!), and many more!

Activity - Singapore Science Center - China: 7000 Years of Innovation Exhibition 14th July 2007

Activity - Galaxy Domination Session turns into silly slug-fest of Mutually Assured Destruction 30th June 2007

30th June 2007
Singapore

1 hour into the 8 player game of Twilight Imperium III - Shattered Empire, I knew my game was over with no way to have fun, let alone win when a silly slug-fest developed. Red fleet and Orange fleet were irrationally determined to butt their heads against my Blue fleet, and the remaining 6 hours was just painfully boring, trading resources and ships to fend off 2 rival fleets from my area. This left Ur to sweep the board unmolested. Totally disgusting.

I think all enthusiasm to dominate the Galaxy has been thoroughly leeched from my system for the foreseeable future... the sad whimper of a swan-song for a would be Galactic Tyrant.

Activity - Archery

I shoot with a 68 inch recurve at the Potong Pasir Indoor Archery Range.

Anyone interested is most welcome to join my baobei and I. We usually go on Saturday afternoons (that is when we actually get off our bums to go.)

Activity - Taijiquan

Activity - Camping & BBQ in Singapore (Various)

Activity - Star Gazing at Mersing, Johor, Malaysia (Dark Sky Category 1)

I do regular (not so regular these days... sigh) excursions to peer into the nightsky from various locations, the further away from big cities the better.

I use a Schmidt-Newtonian 8 inch telescope: MEADE LDX55 SN-8 with AutoStar and the following lenses, Vixen 2.5mm & MEADE Plossi 6.4mm, 9.7mm, 12.4mm, 15mm, 20mm, 26mm, 30mm, 40mm & Barlow 2X

Anyone interesting in joining my excursions are most welcome. Bring your own sleeping bag and expect to drink lots of coffee... but the wait is well worth it once you see the milkyway unobscured by bright lights in all it's glory! People I know who've been there and seen the milkyway, all get Mersing-withdrawal right after a trip.

30/08/03 - 31/08/03
- First trip out. Caught a ride with Matthew and didn't bring my scope. Coast road was nothing but a bumpy dirt road. Got bitten by the Mersing-bug and been infected ever since.

01/01/04 - 02/01/04
- Quick driving recon of the site in the afternoon to late evening with sis to check my "koyak GPRS" navigation, recon the site in daylight and to test my scope.

22/05/04 - 23/05/04
- Good sizeable group. Minor problem finding the site due to road upgrading works. Was there with sis but spent most of the night checking out other people's scopes. Spent more time oohing and ahhing then playing with my own scope.

07/0505 - 08/05/05
- Went with RT, Devi, Marie, Sis & baobei in 2 cars. Arrived late but thankfully I found the site despite the on-going roadworks. Best skies I've ever seen. Did too much snacking and drinking coffee with the girls.

17/03/07 - 18/03/07
- Ah Yan joined baobei and I this trip. All roadworks completed making for my easiest access ever. Found the site with little problems. Largest group I've seen to date with at least 12 scopes and 20+ people.
