Eh, well sorry about not posting for over a month. Quite a bit happened then. We won Astrochallenge (both junior and senior (TAKE THAT RI!)) and then there were the holidays where I also went on an astronomy trip to Port Dickson, which was quite nice. The food was great. Especially the omelettes. We stayed at a resort building thing.
Malaysia: Pretty beaches. Too bad the same can't be said about the infrastructure.
They even had an observatory at the resort, which was kind of cool, except at that time the sky wasn't that bad and they only ever pointed it at the Moon.

But still, kind of cool.

DID I MENTION THEY HAD KITTIES THERE?

SO F***ING ADORABLE :D

Anyway aside from that we also brought along a couple of telescopes and every night we set them up in the carpark and looked at stuff. The skies there were much better than in Singapore. You could see a lot more. I brought my binoculars along and managed to see some globular clusters with them.

We also walked around on the beach a bit. There was a lot of interesting stuff.

Some kind of clay deposit.

And that's a fiddler crab.
