The KL National Planetarium is one of the best places to get to know about astronomy. They organise events from time to time and you can visit the gallery and dome theatre for free during such events. In addition, they normally  set up many telescopes for public viewing.  We have been to their events for a few times, and from there we met many passionate and regular stargazers who were generous to share their knowledge and telescopes with us too. We also learnt about "astrophotography" ie taking pictures of celestial objects in the sky. Amazing you can take pictures of the Milky Way just outside your doorstep, no need to go overseas, as long as the place is dark and sky is clear.  Half-moon taken outside of National Planetarium (through a telescope) during Earth Hour on 31 Mar 2012.

We picked up a new interest recently - stargazing!! Although there were many astronomy activities this year, but unfortunately there were not many clear skies.... so we have to take the opportunity whenever possible.  We are still beginners, and our boys like it so much because they can sleep late. We are blessed because there are some passionate stargazers from the Astronomy Exploration Club who helped and guided us along the way. Basic 'must-have' for stargazing:- star constellation chart, a mat for lying down because you won't want to break your neck, mossie repellant, lots of patience and the wonderful 'telescope'! If you do not have a telescope, don't worry, there are many friendly stargazers who would be more than happy to share with you. Stargazing at Kajang to view the closest and largest full moon of this year. Some would call it a Supermoon. Astronomers call the moon's closest point to earth a "perigee full moon".

Xian Wei's school sports day on a warm, sunny morning! What a colourful sight at the stadium! The MPSJ stadium was full of excited spectators/parents cheering on their team/children. Jin took the opportunity to catch up with his friends. Xian Wei marching by..... Telematch: Xian Wei's team lost :(((( 100m Sprint: Hooray!! Wei was no. 1 4x100m Relay: Wei was the anchor leg runner. It was also the most exciting of his matches for the day because his team was much behind the leading Red team. Wei caught up and won the race!! The win was so close it looked like a photo finish. Wei's glorious moments: 3 Gold medals for 100m, 4x100m relay and shot put and a bronze for long jump!! On the same day KL was covered in a sea of "Yellow" for "Bersih 3.0", "Yellow" was also the overall champion of the sports day!!
