ASTRONOMY 2008

Start:     Aug 16, '08 10:00a
End:     Aug 16, '08 5:00p
Dear fellow astronomer,

On behalf of SINGASTRO, the largest online astronomy forum in
Singapore, I am pleased to invite you to attend ASTRONOMY 2008 which
is to be held at the Singapore Art Museum (The Glass Hall) in
Singapore on the 16th of August, 2008 (Saturday). ASTRONOMY 2008 is a
full-day astronomy event and open to public (free admission) from the
hours of 10AM to 5PM. This event will feature a series of astronomy
talks ranging from astrophysics theories to practical astronomy, and
even an interactive workshop on astronomy imaging. There will also be
poster exhibits that will enlighten attendees on astronomy topics such
as the Solar System, to Deep Sky objects. The attendees will also be
treated to a collection of original astronomy images captured by our
local budding astrophotographers and around South East Asia. Other
interesting activities include a documentary screening on cosmology,
instant lucky draws, sun-gazing (viewing of the Sun with specialized
telescope instruments in Hydrogen Alpha, expect to see flares and
prominences on the sun!), the opportunity to view the largest
private-based telescope in South East Asia (bigger than the one at the
Science Center Observatory!), and many more!

Things I've Learned.....

I've learned
that you cannot make someone love you.
All you can do is be someone who can be loved.
The rest is up to them.

I've learned-
that no matter how much I care,
some people just don't care back.

I've learned-
that it takes years to build up trust,
and only seconds to destroy it.

I've learned-
that it's not what you have in your life
but who you have in your life that counts.

I've learned-
that you can get by on charm for about
fifteen minutes.
After that, you'd better know something.

I've learned-
that you shouldn't compare
yourself to the best others can do.

I've learned-
that you can do something in an instant
that will give you heartache for life.

I've learned-
that it's taking me a long time
to become the person I want to be.

I've learned-
that you should always leave loved ones
with loving words. It may be the last
time you see them....

I've learned-
that you can keep going
long after you can't.

I've learned-
that we are responsible for what we do,
no matter how we feel.


I've learned-
that either you control your attitude
or it controls you.

I've learned-
that regardless of how hot and steamy
a relationship is at first, the passion fades
and there had better be something else to take
its place.

I've learned-
that heroes are the people
who do what has to be done
when it needs to be done,
regardless of the consequences.

I've learned
that money is a lousy way of keeping score..

I've learned-
that my best friend and I can do anything
or nothing and have the best time.

I've learned-
that sometimes the people you expect
to kick you when you're down
will be the ones to help you get back up.

I've learned-
that sometimes when I'm angry
I have the right to be angry,
but that doesn't give me
the right to be cruel.

I've learned-
that true friendship continues to grow,
even over the longest distance.
Same goes for true love.

I've learned-
that just because someone doesn't love
you the way you want them to doesn't
mean they don't love you with all they have.

I've learned-
that maturity has more to do with
what types of experiences you've had
and what you've learned from them
and less to do with how many
birthdays you've celebrated.

I've learned-
that you should never tell a child
their dreams are unlikely or outlandish.
Few things are more humiliating, and what
a tragedy it would be if they believed it.

I've learned-
that your family won't always be there for you.
It may seem funny, but people you aren't
related to can take care of you and love you
and teach you to trust people again. Families
aren't biological.

I've learned-
that no matter how good a friend is,
they're going to hurt you every once in a while
and you must forgive them for that.

I've learned-
that it isn't always enough to be forgiven by
others. Sometimes you are to learn to forgive
yourself.

I've learned-
that no matter how bad your heart is broken
the world doesn't stop for your grief.


I've learned-
that our background and circumstances
may have influenced who we are,
but we are responsible for who we
become.

I've learned-
that just because two people argue,
it doesn't mean they don't love each other
And just because they don't argue,
it doesn't mean they do.

I've learned-
that we don't have to change friends
if we understand that friends change.

I've learned-
that you shouldn't be so eager to find out a
secret. It could change your life forever.

I've learned-
that two people can look at the exact same thing
and see something totally different

I've learned-
that your life can be changed in a matter of
hours by people who don't even know you.

I've learned-
that even when you think you have no more
to give, when a friend cries out to you,
you will find the strength to help.

I've learned-
that credentials on the wall
do not make you a decent human being.

I've learned-
that the people you care about most in life
are taken from you too soon.

I've learned-
that it's hard to determine where to draw
the line between being nice and not hurting
people's feelings and standing up
for what you believe.
