Watched 'Interstellar' twice! As good as 'Gravity', most will say even better but oh well, I just think they don't know Astronomy enough to see Gravity's beauty and realism. Loved the graphics of Interstellar so much! The wormhole, the blackhole Gargantua, the SATURN (ALL TIME FAVE) and the 3 exoplanets (water planet, ammonia-icy planet, and lastly the most habitable Earth-like planet)! Went to research on tesseract which was the 5 dim thingy that the blackhole apparently contain (up to screen writer's imagination, really. No one has ever went beyond the event horizon and lived to tell the tale.) Awesome show, to sum it up! The way the breathtaking views literally took my breath away and made me hold my breath and gasp or squeal (releasing that Astro geek in me) is just slightly embarrassing, especially since no one else near me seem to feel the same way. Can't wait for bluray to be out till I can re-watch to my heart's content! Love the 21st century technology! At the same time, was thinking sth along the lines of alien beings when watching 'The Host' (US) just now. What if the reason I am such an Astro geek and no one else seem to share my sentiment is because I don't belong here? Maybe I was from another galaxy that will take me so long to return that every one of my generation on Earth will die before I even reach my 'real home' (inspiration drawn from The Host). HAHA. Crazy, I know. Well, it's MY imagination. Or wishful thinking. I SERIOUSLY considered going on a one way trip to space and strongly believe I will not mind dying once I catch a glimpse of the outer space, comprising of stars and galaxies (not just the solar system, as that would be lame), first hand. Obviously I can't touch them, though they are the only thing I ever wanted so badly to feel. So seeing up-close or at least first hand will be the next closest thing to be content with.

Took Astro this sem. Was taking it pretty hard after the paper as it was so much harder than expected and I was never good at memorising, I realised. Even if it were a MCQ paper, I can still walk out feeling like it's horribly done. What's there in life if I can't even do well in my interest? Well, my only comfort is that I have not gone through uni life in vain as I had accomplished the only thing I ever wanted to do - experience studying Astronomy like an astronomer. Enough stars talk, huh. Still have 2 more final papers to go before being free of SCH LIFE forever and going on my GRAD TRIP to Japan and Taiwan! Well, up till now, life's still pretty good. All that's missing is well, you know.
