#42
friday was a partial lunar eclipse day.
and since science centre was holding an event there, i went down to join in the fun. to my surprise there was actually quite a good turn out, being that it was only a partial eclipse where about only 30% of the sun would be covered.
we were however greeted by cloudy skies, and were told that unless the clouds clear soon, we would miss the eclipse. this was then followed by a passing shower, which lead to most people leaving. i too, almost gave up hope and left, but when i saw people going back outside, i decided to try looking up at the sky for one more time. and true enough, there it was, for a short 10 seconds or so before hiding behind the clouds again.
as one can see, the number of people left behind had been greatly reduced. and i think that our patience paid off. we then all waited around, hoping that the sky would clear again. and to our luck, it finally did. although it was like covered at only a small angle, everyone was superbly excited and awed at the sight.+of+IMG_2492.JPG)
somehow managed to take a few photos of it using my kits lens, which compared to the others using higher end lens looked noobish. (the sun is in the middle of the picture in case you can't see it.)
i later went to meet my cousin at bugis to eat dinner and watch the movie "daybreakers", i should say, it's good, but not awesome. it's a movie where vampires act like normal vampire who burn in sunlight, and not glitter in them. (if you know what i mean.) and i think it can be like a continuation from the twilight saga, where everyone goes gaga over being a vampire and eventually almost everyone becomes one, and humans become the endangered species. but unlike twilight, something went wrong, and you burn in the sunlight.
