@SMS: What time will you be there, since you're usually the earliest?

If I can escape work when the bell rings, I'll probably drop by Sim Lim Tower first. :D

Nak, I may be there at 7 with Don and Mrs Nutnut, Billy said he'd be coming about 7 too, alone, but he represents both sexes being an hermaphrodite, so it makes up for it.

My second +1 has early morning duties tomorrow, so won't be there tonight, but would love to come next time.

Somewhere between 7-7:30 (probably 7-7:15) Unless the MRT dies again! Coming from Clementi.

Ah I actually didn't use the ferry from Marina South Pier. That one is meant for tourists. I used the one meant for contractors and research teams located at Pasir Panjang Distripark (Pasir Panjang Terminal). So the schedule is different.

Having said that, I just got back. And too pooped out for anything else. I think I need to crash this evening. Probably next time!

Just got my guy to bed, he managed to stay wide awake until we got home and even then resisted sleep for a few minutes. Wished I could have stayed longer, maybe next time I'll splurge for one of those commercial $100-a-pop babysitters for my last hurrah :-P

Great to see all of you!
