~Planetarium Visit!~

I finally get my wish to go to the Planetarium, and finding that the "Anti Gravity" chamber has given me a headache, but actually gives me a better idea of what it feels like being in microgravity. It wasn't the real thing yet, but it was certainly hard to stand. I felt like I could kiss someone by accident if I wasn't careful. Fortunately, I didn't kiss anyone, but I was mostly crashing into the wall on the left (simply because the room was titled to the left).

The Space Ball was under construction, so we couldn't try it out. I still got to try the space "loo" in the International Space Station exhibit. It was quite scary as it was sucking you down. That wasn't so bad. The REALLY bad thing was that there were kindergarten kids there, and they were a noise machine. We were watching a documentary on Space Threats, but I couldn't hear much, as they were going "WHOA" at every single sight of Earth and the Planets. For example,
"If a meteor that is larger than 1km across crashes into Earth and lands in an ocean/sea, it will cause a massive tsunami, even larger than the one in 2004." The reaction of the kids is simple: "WHOA!!"

Still, it was a very good trip. It would've been better if we didn't circle half round KL before finding Jalan Perdana.

Till next time,

Going to National Planetarium- I hope.

Hi everyone,
The title of this post already mentions it. I am planning to visit the National Planetarium (Planetarium Negara) with my dad. The thing is, I don't know if I can really go, as my cousins are here from Singapore and they're getting most of the so-called VIP spots. Whenever they want to go somewhere, they'll get it for sure. Then the rest of the family, including me has to follow them around like bodyguards. But that doesn't interupt my studying about space. Well, at least not completely.

There are a few reasons that I want to visit the Planetarium. Firstly, I want to feel what it's like floating in zero gravity. Secondly, and it's stated in the title, I want to become an astronaut when I grow up. Finally, the 4th Graders have been there and experienced the fun. Why not a 6th Grader?

Anyway, I will still post on this blog when I find the time to. Got exams up soon.
