Just in case you're wondering, we're the stargazer society @ Methodist College (somewhere in Malaysia ).
Before i proceed, congratulations to ADRIAN, ex-president and VICTOR, ex-R&D director who scored so perfectly well in their recent A-Levels finals.
Adrian: 3A* and 3 marks away from the 4th A*
Victor: 4A*. Woah
Oh, and Kee Onn, ex-ex-president is currently pursuing his aerospace engineering degree at the University of Minnesota. He got 3 A* too. Don't get me wrong, i'm not boasting about how good they are, just sharing our joy. PLUS, it's his birthday today so happy birthday!
As for now, it has been 4 solid months since our last AGM so here's a short summary of what happened.
JULY-Orientation Month
Welcome to MCKL July intakes!
After a brief introduction of our club, we discussed about planets in our universe and the constellations in 2 of our meetings.
AUGUST
We held this TANABATA event in collaboration with the Japanology Club. It was indeed successful and we had a superb night. Stories of Vega and Altair were shared with our fellow MCKLians. If you missed the fun, well don't worry as we'll be organizing another spectacular event next year! Be sure to watch out for the upcoming notices. Thanks for the feedback at the facebook event page. It couldn't have been this successful without your participation.
Next-Perseid Meteor shower
Went for a stargazing trip @ bukit tinggi. Stayed at Selesa Resort and it was pretty good ( this is not an advert ). The whole trip costed us less than RM 30. [ Now you see why you should join stargazer society? I mean where can you get outings at such cheap price and yet it's still very FUN ] They saw about 10-20 meteors but I missed all of them as I was constantly drifting back into my dreams(was too sleepy). Luckily (or not), all of us saw a bright flash which lasted long enough for us to gasp in awe and hold our breath (we did all that in one second). It was completely amazing though we didn't know what it was.
It was a 2 day 1 night trip and to kill time while waiting for the sun to set, we traveled all the way down the hill to have our dinner.
Stay tuned for updates and more pictures!
gaze. adore. explore.
