Astrophotography
Astrophotography-Four Cacti and a Comet!-By Jolin

I was searching the internet for pictures which I could use to decorate for the poster for our advertisement for the Observatory Visit (5 Jan 07) and I found this picture. I fell in love with it at first sight! You know the feeling? Suddenly you felt a rush of adrenaline through your body, your eyes twinkle and you go WOW... It's beautiful!

I wanted very much to go on with the description, but decide that I shall not do that. Just in case anyone of you thought I want a picture as my boyfriend. Worse! If anyone thought I have altered mental health (in other word-insane). =P
The vast sky above us and the land on our feet are remarkable to each other. The picture above speaks the words. Don't you agree? =)

Night out at East Coast-By Jolin
Yesterday was the first event we had after the 2006/2007-committee members took over the club. All the committee members were present except Yanting, Deep and Xiao Ming. Others who went are 3 of our ex-seniors, Alex, Felicia and Han Sheng; and 5 members. Some members of Singapore poly astro club went too!
We reached the place at 1945 hrs. While some of us ate dinner at the Macdonald, Edward and Boon went to buy a birthday cake for our President, Wei Hong. His birthday was on Thursday. Though the wishes and celebration come a little late, I think he hasn’t mind a bit. It’s always the thought that count is it not? His face remained cool and calm when the cake was being brought in, but I guess, deep in his heart, he must be having a tumult of emotions. =P
The sky was clear and the moon lady was bright! We were able to find the stars of the ORION, CANIS MAJOR, the eye of the TAURUS and some stars of GEMINI !
While we were stargazing, two policemen on petrol approached us. It turned out to be a hilarious scenario. Before the police could ask anything, Wei Hong introduce to them who we are and what we were doing there. It seem as if Wei Hong had been caught many times afore that he knew what the police would ask!
Throughout the night, we stargazed, played cards and went night cycling. Then at around 4am, a few of us went to take a nap. Strange it was. There was not even a gust of sea breeze that night and no mosquito!
In the morning, we had breakfast at Macdonald and then sat and played cards for like 5 hours? Just to wait for the bus! We were all like living zombies! The worse thing is that, the bus was suppose to arrive at 10.30am, but it did not turn up. And when we contact the driver, he said he was at NYP! Why would the thought that we are at NYP! He drove us to East Coast yesterday evening! So in the end, the bus came only at 11.30am. At least, the uncle apologized for his mistake. Apology accepted! Forgiveness is a virtue is it not? =)
What’s next then? Home sweet home, of course!
Anyway, a word to end off – stunts. Those who stayed till morning will know what there’s supposed to mean! *Wink* Haha..
