-HOLIDAY BLUES-
Argh, what kind of holiday is this? When other people are sleeping til late noon in their cosy little beds, I'm at school working on the school magazine. I did call in some people to come help, but only two turned up, and I'm loving them so much right now! The rest couldn't make it due to valid reasons, but no hard feelings. I just wished that my Head of Graphics is more serious about this, because most of the work left is her department. We need to get the designs ready and stuff. Hope we can get it all done before the end of the holidays
My brother, Felix and his whacko friend Harold joined this Astronomy course at the State Library. They learned about the galaxies, astromony stuff and so on. They even learned to build a homemade telescope and a water-rocket launcher. Lolz. We went to the library on Sunday night to star gaze. We used a quite powerful telescope and we saw the moon upclose. I even got the chance to see Jupiter and four of its moons! So cool.. On Monday, the night sky was clear and there weren't any clouds. So my brother took out his telescope and we saw the surface of the moon. OMG its beautiful! So bright, so round, and also very "holly". We saw loads of craters on the moon, but it was still very interesting to look at. The moon is about 400 000 (plus plus) km from the Earth. Then Harold was busy looking for Sirius, the biggest and closest star to the Earth, but had trouble focusing. So I gazed up into the night sky and saw clutters of stars of which patterns are formed. I took out my brother's Constellation Chart, played connect the dots, and I found four stars/constellations! They are Crux, Haber, Centaurus and Lupus! So cool. They are Southward, and apparently Crux is the 12th brightest star. Crux is a kite shaped constellation which has four stars. The top, left (Mimosa) and bottom (Acrux) star of the constellation is brighter and bigger compared to the star on the right. It's very unique, so don't forget to watch out for it! I wanted to take the picture of the amazingly beautiful stars, but the image formed on the camera wasn't clear. Lolz I can't wait for the night sky to be cloudless again so that I can pester my brother to take out his telescope again! I love star gazing! Its a killer towards the neck, but I love it
Lolz, I went to the new supermarkets opposite Choice Daily and I came across this really cute cap.
Ya it says BROTHER. It reminded me of Michael, so I took the picture. Haha. Since when did he come out with his own brand and label? Haha. Somehow lots of things nowadays remind me of Brother. Miss him loads, very mucho. I never had a person who is so close to me is so far away from me now. Hopefully he'll come back for a visit so that we can talk, hang, and I can annoy him once more. Haha
Will be heading back for kampung tomorrow. Not sure whether I can go for the Synergy Youth Concert. Not that it matters though. Its not going to make any difference to the world whether I go or not. Oh well...
BROTHER: Holla! Like the pix? hehe... holla back yarz...
