Montage of planets.

I saw this picture as i was browsing the net.

it has been my dream tat one day i will be able to study more abt astronomy. i think tat it is a fasinating topic, to understand abt our solar system and the mystery of it. however, when i check out the reqirements to apply for the course, i realised tat i will definately not make it. one has to be outstanding in science and math to take the course. so i guess, i will just have to do it thru net and books at my own free time.

I don't think any of my current friends know I used to be Singapore's astronomy child prodigy LOL and I used to own a huge reflector that I donated to my school. It is such a fascinating mystery and nothing is more amazing than to find and see a nebula for yourself. But don't ask me any questions on astronomy now cos it's all returned to school LOL.

some times, i wish that u and i were in MDC at the same time. then i can learn more abt all these stuff fr u. i think u have talents in this area, and its such a waste to return to school. T_T i dun even have a chance to learn ANYTHG like that in school.
