Spring@Greenwich
Honestly, ive been sitting here for the past 10 mins trying to figure out the right words to start of this posting after MIA for such a long period of time...much has happened over the past few weeks...but first, just wana say aBIG thank you to my faithful blogger frens who've been checking my blog fer updates only to be dissapointed...really sori...u know who u are!...
Time!...a gift or curse from God?....a week ago, i organised a picnic(for UEL Malaysian Society) at Greenwich Park, aptly named Spring@Greenwich...in front of the park is The National Maritime Museum and on top of Greenwich Park hill sits the magnificent Royal Observatory...wat can i say, it was the perfect morning for a picnic...beautiful weather, beatiful scenery, and very beautiful people...in the words of my friend "We acted like a recently released prison immates"...our eyes were in every direction...the guys i mean...lol...we did haf a good laugh playing mini rugby and definately suceeded in making a fool of ourselves on thr grass, but hey it was fun!...
Went up to the observatory and had a bit of lame fun crossing between the Prime Meridian which separates the eastern and western hemispere. Had an interesting tour thru the observatory and looked at a couple of long pipes used to study the stars.... Whats cool is that some of the pipes could still be used...in fact there was one big momma called the "28 inch photo visual refractor telescope"...its still in use and is controlled with some supposedly "high tech" computer system which looks like my dads old 486 pc...i had quite alot of fun playing Larry: Land of The Lounge Lizzards on that computer...ahh sweet memories!...but seriusly, if aimed in the right dimension, that 28 inch thingy could scope out some serius action for me...lol...
Besides the big momma, i really didnt haf much fun lookin at bunch of old clocks and mechanisms which tell the time so accurately, i got paranoid and started adjusting my watch...so now i can safely say my watch tells the exact time...to the second!...ok i know its lame...whats even more lame is that for 1 quid, u can get a "certificate" that says u visited the observatory and crossed between the hemisheres...what a scam!...overall it was pretty 'educational' tour and i did have a great view of London from the top of the observatory...the rest of the time i was either basking in the sunlight or busy zooming in on the female species with me frens 20x optical zoom camera...not as big as the 28 inch, but it did the job just fine...
Had 2 portions of nasi lemak and meehun which was cooked by one of the members...wicked stuff!...finally we finished of the afternoon with a walk thru Greenwich Market...and guess wat i bought!... a really cool wooden gun which fires rubberbands!..hahah...this baby can fire 4 ruberbands in succesion...if ur feeling abit sadistic, u can shoot ur little bro or sis with 2 or 3 at the same time...as u can tell, i was probably a nightmare to my sis when i was a kid...but lets put the past behind us...hehe
Event attended by 25 persons...Definately a success!...Cheers!
