Earth Hour 2009

8.30pm 28 Mar 09, Earth Hour.. I was at wisma after jap class.. The building and some shops dimmed their lightings, but just slightly so can't really tell the difference.. But wondered, if things can operate with a little less lighting, y not just keep that going. One hr is not gg to save the earth.. -___-|||

Wisma had this stargazing event at the rooftop of the building today. Lucky to see the man-with-the-poster walking around, and thanks to the clear sky, else we would have missed this chance to see stars closeup. They had quite a number of telescopes set up, and the owner of the scope stood there to explain to the visitors which stars the telescopes were actually looking at. They even had amazing laser pointers to illustrate the constellations in the sky so that we won't be looking at the wrong stars. In the Singapore night sky, we are only able to see Big Dipper, Orion, Sirius, Saturn and Gemini. The most interesting one was Saturn and its moons. I couldn't really see the moons ard (too small) but was able to view the prominent rings, a distinctive characteristic of the planet, which can't be seen with the naked eye. =)

Had the first lesson of Intermediate 2 today.. and our class had two new students.. It's a couple in their late 30s or early 40s.. Just thought that it's quite 温馨 to pick up an interest/hobby at this age tog with your spouse..
