  1. Dear Friends,

    My humble apology as the date of departure is brought earlier a week to SATURDAY,
    November Fifteenth due to my compulsory attendence of a Farewell party to be held by a friend known from the early Eighties.

    Departure time: Ten-fifty am from Harbourfront and Six-forty pm(Spore time) from
    Batam Center via ferry Batam Fast.
    Purchase of Two-way ticket is needful.

    Itinerary: 1. seafood lunch at Golden Prawn restaurant

    2. drive across the three connecting Barelang bridges to Pulau Galang
    for a look-see at the former Veitnamese refugees camp’81/82

  2. Hi Silverhairs,

    Since there is no response to the above and coincidentally too, earlier today

    I was asked to work on this Saturday, thus the above trip is cancelled.

    Regards
