The Mystery Roar

Early this month, Nasa' Columbia Scientific Balloon facilities detected the mystery roar/boom from far away space of the expanding universe. Universe isn't as quite as one has expected. The roar might come from some unknown galaxies merging in the outer space and guess what, astronomers had predicted our very own milky way is expected to merge with andromeda or any nearest galaxies.

Haha. Dun worry, Milky way has been evolving and growing by cannibalizing some small nearby galaxies. We are welcoming our planet neighbours even though we had lost the one that closest to us. We miss you Pluto~ the Magellanic Clouds, one of our own satellite galaxies kept on coming close and further with us.

Galaxy merging~

Best Friend ~kiroro~

I don't have to worry anymore, cause you will be by my side when I cry
You always smile at me
I am blessed because you always shine before me
Things that we have missed hastily at time, that's the way it is
Faces that always being looked at
Forever hugging each other
Your smile has helped me endless time, you know
Thank you thank you Best Friend

These plenty happiness that I felt at this moment
All the friends that I have here, you the best present
I am blessed because you always be by our side
Surely things that I have accomplished here, those things too give me strength (change to strength)
Faces that always being looked at
Forever hugging each other
All of your smile has helped me endless time, you know

Things that we have missed hastily at time, that's the way it is
Faces that always being looked at
Forever hugging each other
Your smile has helped me endless time, you know

Thank you thank you Best Friend

my note: Can I be that person?

How Crazy

I put my cold guitar inside its case.
People still want me to play tonight,
But I think I’ve had enough today.
Yeah, I’m feeling all right.

Adults give me advice all the time,
Strange people I can’t respect.
I didn’t really want to be like you at first.

My faded jeans rustle as I get on a subway train,
I peer into the window and see my dark reflection.
I haven’t changed at all, I’m still as I was back then.

I wish I had some money for a change, you know?

How Crazy!
Stop talking like you can read my mind.
You can’t, I’m telling you.
How Crazy!
I’m just a rat that escaped from a burning ship,
Sinking deep into the sea.

I’ve always loved my dreams and desires,
Blindly following them isn’t the way to go.

Walking up the subway steps creeps me out.
The light at the end feels dark and unknown.

In a parking by lot by twilight’s light,
I see a happy little kid, waving his hand at me,
Without a care in the world.

I yell at the naive child,
Trying to tell him to be wise,
To use his time as he should,
But I don’t know how to say it.

It’s useless, it’s hopeless.
He can’t understand either way.

Oh God, it’s so cruel. For both of us.

How Crazy!
Stop talking like you can read my mind.
You can’t, I’m telling you.
How Crazy!
I’m just a rat that escaped from a burning ship,
Sinking deep into the sea.

I’ve always loved my dreams and desires,
Blindly following them will do nothing for me.

Work, work, study study,
Get those A’s and honors in school
Or your family will weep in shame.

You can make a billion dollars in a flash,
But can’t respect yourself.
Baby, that’s me.
My mind groans under a thousand contradictions.
How long must I live in a world like this?!

How Crazy!
Stop talking like you know who I am.
You don’t, I’m telling you.
How Crazy!
I’m just a rat that escaped from a burning ship,
Sinking deep into the sea.

I clutched my cold guitar and sang a song by myself,
Just like I did all those years ago

Welcome 2009

The International Year of Astronomy 2009 (IYA2009)

This would be the astronomy year for the whole century, i think. There will be thousands of astronomical activities that will be carried out throughout the whole world for a complete 365 days.
Of course, Malaysia tidak ketinggalan :-


where my very loving-but-garang supervisor will be one of the speakers. He is one of the few astronomers in Europe who has access to the Hubble Space Telescope, and the one who invented the CAS parameter for galaxies.

So, Welcome to the Year full of AstroPhysics
