Hiies everyone! :D I found this poster about a partial solar eclipse on the 15/1/2010. The event is organised by SSC, so you all can click the link to see the poster. I think even if you don't have Facebook, you should be able to see the poster. ^^
Hi everyone!!! :D :D :D I'm back to say Happy New Year! ^^ All the best in the Year of the Tiger (ah, Mr Tan H S) and jia youus in your studies and may BPAstro rise to greater heights. :D
Haha! I'm a faithful peep, cos I still come back and look at this blog and what more, I still post something here and make attempts to liven this web log. LOL! XD
Ah, it's December already, 2/12/2009 to be exact. Christmas is just round the corner in just 23 DAYS! :D "Deck the halls with boughs of holly, fa la la la la, la la la la..." Are you all excited about X'mas? :D I heard that Christmas is about giving to the others to share love and warmth between one another, is that true? Haha. =)
In a twinkling of an eye, Year 2009 is coming to an end! Oh my my. How time flies. >< The current Sec 1s of 2009 will be "kor-kor" and "jie-jie" for the young budding astronomers who will be joining BPAstro in 2010; the current Sec 2s will embark on a tough journey in upper secondary (it depends, really) while the current Sec 3s will be going on a downhill roller-coaster ride in Sec 4 that has infinite terminal velocity (lol, I'm kidding) and soon, for the Sec 4s in 2010, you will realise that the word 'homework' will disappear for ~2.5months and gone will be the days when you lament that the teachers give so much homework as to ruin your holiday, but instead, you will complain about the pain of emptiness and rotting the days away with nothing to do at hand. (so, quickly go get a job! Hahas. XD)
There is this Chinese saying that goes "经一事，长一智", which means to say that as time goes by, one's wisdom will grow too. I hope that will also apply for BPAstro and I'm sure the upcoming and future generations of leaders to come will propel BPAstro to greater heights just like in this crappy graph that I've drawn: 
LOL. This graph is super duper crappish. xD I hope I didn't offend anyone by doing this. Hahas. Apologies if I did and I will take it down immediately when requested. :X Kayys, I have to go and do my stuff, so bye everyone! :D A word of caution though, please do not use the kind of graph as shown above and submit to your teachers for SPA-Practice cos you will surely get a big fat zero on your graph paper and your teacher will give you a dressing down for it. LOL. XD Kayys, byes! ^^
Regards,
ME, "Mistake Edition"
