Shout-Outs!

The Bible contains six admonishments to homosexuals and 362 admonishments to heterosexuals. That doesn't mean that God doesn't love heterosexuals. It's just that they need more supervision.

A Celestial Event!? (Lunar Eclipse @ 7pm-ish, 28th Aug)

Hey Astro-bears,

Apparently it has come to our attention (information was passed from a member, MnMs) that on the 28th August 2007, there will be a lunar eclipse. This is the 2nd eclipse that will happen in this year alone.

Here is a link from the NASA website, to understand better about the Lunar-eclipse happening on the day itself.

So people, MnMs is kind enough to head the astro-bears to experience this once in a lifetime event. (He'll be bringing his Telescope) He mentioned that any open area (preferably with little light-pollution) will be good enough to see it. He did suggest that either we can go to a multi-story car park thats facing the eastern side or East Coast Park. His concern is that people who don't drive might have difficulties getting to East Coast...

So please drop your suggestions so that we can come up with a compromise on locations and then gather up to watch it. How about that?

Updated: Dinner @ Straits Kitchen, Grand Hyatt (25th Aug 07, Saturday)


Well... I guess the food was yay-ok but the price is a little steep having to pay for local cuisines... But all in all I had fun! I guess the food tasted much better with the right company? No? Heheh... I'm glad you guys attended and hope you had fun. Expect the next makan session to be cheaper and food will be definitely nicer! Oh and I almost forgot... Finally gotta meet you in person XY! :) Cheers...
- asimov_22

Dear Fellow bears,

Finally the time has come for us to chomp, chomp and chomp! Since the beginning of the poll, I guess we couldn't have made the choices even more obvious *kekeke* that we "think" most of us would prefer Straits Kitchen, compared to the others. Well I voted for Kushin-bo actually... ANYWAYS... Here are the details:

Date: 25th August 2007, Saturday
Venue: Straits Kitchen, Grand Hyatt Singapore, 10 Scotts Road
Time: 7pm (have 15 mins grace... need to have 50% of ppl there by 7:15pm, so do be on time)
Per Pax: $40++ (Prices has changed, so expect it to be slightly more expensive)

Please RSVP by mid August, so that we can reserve appropriately with the Restaurant. We are capping head-counts at maximum 20-25, anything more than that will be scary! But of cos we can still book separately...

Back to Nature: Bears Go Cycling (19th Aug 07, Sun)

VitalAuto & I want to thank all who came for this event, especially those who arrived early, stood by and waited for the late-comers! I must say our logistics skills are not that great so do pardon us for the little mishaps and confusions.

I want to express our thanks to Sg_pup & his hubby for their relentless efforts for leading us the way around Ubin and other logistics stuff. If not for them, this trip would not have taken place.

Our thanks also goes out to SaltWetFish & Quest for helping us take some wonderful group pictures along the way. Also thanks to those who gave and showed support to VitalAuto for his cycling difficulties... *heheh*

Last but not least, I hope everyone enjoyed themselves as much as I did for this is the 1st time I ever been to Ubin! *Swah-Ku right?* I will upload the pictures onto Flickr soon!

Once again thank you all!

yours sincerely,
asimov_22
& VitalAuto

Time to get our ass back to nature! A great suggestion from sg_pup that we should go for a Pulau Ubin Cycling Trip. He has also graciously agreed to be our guide on the trip.

Date: 19 August 07, Sunday
Time: 8:30am
Meet-up Venue: POSBank ATM beside the food center

The Bourne Ultimatum (18 August, Sat, 7.10pm)

"Was another great installment to the Bourne Series! This is what thriller should be. Intelligent and engaging! Greengrass' direction is brilliant though the camera work could give you a headache! But it's exactly the hand held camera work, the closeup action and the urgent editing that made this such a gripping thriller! The car chase is one of the best i've ever seen! :) A Must Watch! even if it's only for Matt Damon, he's so handsome! He seems to get better looking as he gets older!" - vitalauto

"I totally agree with VA that Matt certainly looks yummier and yummier with age... *hahah* I really hated his twinky image in the past. Anyways, I haven't watched Bourne Identity 1 & 2, this one was something new for me. All in all, its not too bad though. The car chase and fighting scenes were well edited. I'm just not such a big fan of the Bourne trilogy but I think those who are should watch it loh. Thats all... " - asimov_22

881 - A Royston Tan Film (11th Aug 07, Saturday)

"For those who haven't watched this film, please please please go see it! I personally feel so far this is the best local film ever made. Not that I'm trying to sensationalize it... really its good! The OST will be a blast, I'm getting it :)

Also, I hope that in the future of any movie screenings, everyone should try not to be late. Because it won't be fair for the Ticket-Bearer to come out halfway through the movie to pass tickets and all the nonsense. Very disruptive... So I wish for everyone's coorperation! Thank you" Asimov_22

"Yes, pls watch the movie, it's a solid and entertaining movie. it's pretty moving too. Visually, it's great, colorful and OTT, very Priscilla :) However for me, it's not as good as i had expected it to be. It's like a 2nd grade Cai Mingliang movie. Biggest problem for me – all the side characters, the kare-le-fares, are all such bad actors like the pet shop owner, Jing Lang's relative, etc. They are such a distraction. Even the lead actor is quite stiff and too beautiful, but i bet lots of you will differ for all the wrong reasons. Well, anyway, still am very happy to see a good local production,. Unlike asimov, not really my fave, i humbly think 12 Storeys is still the best." Vitalauto

Bears Go Sentosa (Postponed!)


NOW... BEARS GO SENTOSA IS POSTPONED!!! - We will reschedule probably in September. Stay posted for more updates :)

I'm proposing that Sentosa seems like a good idea? (I haven't really looked around much in Sentosa yet...)

There are several things that we can do there:
Those who wanna have fun in the water can bring trunks/shorts too. We can busk in the sun at Siloso Beach!


After dark Activities:

We can chill out at Cafe del Mar! Though Its filled with Angmos and we gotta tolerate secondary treatment from the staff... Well the drinks are a little expensive too... BUT theres no other hip-pier place that plays good ambient/trance music!

I suppose nobody here have connections to reserve seats at Cafe del Mar? If you do, please let me know? Thanks...

Date: 9th August, National Day
Destination: Sentosa Island
Meeting place: VivoCity 3rd Floor, Entrance of the Sentosa Express Station (Beside the foodcourt)
Time: 2:00pm (til late evening or night, so have your own lunch 1st!)

Find out more details @ the Sentosa Website.
