The first day of the Chinese New Year, and the solar eclipse. Thanks to Alfie for posting on her blog about the event!

Left RP and rushed to Jurong East, from where I walked to the Science Centre. It was about 5.10pm by the time I reached.

The weather doesn't look optimum for solar eclipse viewing. =/They have more than one of these cardboard eclipse stands. This one is situated at the entrance. You can see that the sun is partially covered.

Wanting to get the 'cool' sunglasses, I headed for the Omni Theatre.

They had a live feed projecting from the Observatory Tower. If i'm not wrong, this is the 5.30pm eclipse.

The people who had gathered to watch the solar eclipse. And I thought the response were very little, based on the observations from the entrance.Took a seat on top of one of the manhole covers. And it doesn't stink one bit. Haha. And this is the 'cool' sunglasses I was talking about. It enables you to look at the sun! Cool shit huh?But what happens when you put it on? You can't see shit! Or directly at the sun, at least. Maybe because of the black polymer filter... Probably the sun was partially covered by the clouds and it wasn't strong enough.

The optimal time was 5.49pm. And according to the emcee, you could see the eclipse clearly from the Observatory Tower. I didn't go up the tower because of the very long queue. Proof below.

Well, here's the 5.49pm solar eclipse. I was kinda disappointed. But heck, it's still an eclipse. Haha.Nothing more to see, so I made my way back to the entrance. And took the bus 335 home.

Bye small-armed Tyran Rex!

Ok, so currently I'm living in denial right now. But it's ok. I'll move on over time.

I had a 'heart attack' at around midnight which lasted for about 30 or so minutes. My heart was beating abnormally fast and I was panting even though I was lying down... It's like some supernatural force is sucking the soul out of me. My only thought was that if I went to sleep, I may not be able to open my eyes anymore...

Well, eventually I managed to fall asleep. And here I am blogging.
