Eventhough this is a little late

Take MRT to Boon LAY
Take the bus No. 179, drop off a the stop outside Lee Hwee Nam library.
Count about 11 stops.

Go up the flight of stairs, u will see another flight of stairs. Go up both.
Turn to ur left, walk straight, and see the School of mechanical and aerospace Engineering. Just walk along the the path with many benches outside till u see LT2A.

Ok.........tonite is not bad eventhough there is some thin high altitude clouds. The turn-out is surprising. Most are actually not from NTU, but mainly from Singastro and other schools.The talk by Dr. Chan is quite interesting and fruitful. Got a great chance to interact with other Astro minded folks.

Things spotted tonite are Mars, Saturn, M42

Hi,
Was there late and miss a big part of the lecture...

Anyway, quite an interesting lecture, but after hearing the lecture, it seem like instead of modeling their theroy base on the observational data, they are now creating "thing" to make the observational data fit in to their theory...

Have a nice day.
