4th MICISS Science Camp

I participated in MICSS (Malaysia Independent Chinese School ??) Science Camp held at Hin Hua High School, Klang, Selangor, Malaysia during 30 May to 3 June. I had a great time there.

The theme of this science camp was Space Science, my favourite. There were 3 talks by world-class professors. The Look of Universe Under Multi-Wavelength Observation by Prof. Wei-Hsin Sun, Near Earth Asteroid Observations by Zhu Jin, curator of Beijing Planetarium and High Altitude Atmosphere Lighting Phenomena – Sprites, Blue Jets and Gigantic Jets by Prof. Hsu, Rue-Ron.

I like Prof. Wei-Hsin Sun the most. I totally admire his speech skill. Almost everybody was excited during his talk. The most valuable lesson that he taught me was not about the science but the attitude towards life. Listen more instead of talking more, once you know more, you will talk less as you know that the knowledge you hold is just a fraction.

I also met a professor from USM. Dr.Chong is a very funny person, he has high spirits in sharing his knowledge. It’s really my pleasure to know him. He taught me water-rocket which was one of my happiest moments. His record is 150m high and 180m long. I also know a high school teacher from Zhe Jiang, China. She is Lin Lan. She knows a lot of the equipment.

There was a sunspot observing activity and stargazing party on the third day and fourth day. I saw the most telescopes in my life that day. Colorado Solarmax by National Planetarium, CGE-1400, 6″ Refractor by Mr.Tan, Uncle Looi’s PST and Meade MySky, Mr Kew’s 10″ Meade LX200GPS, WO Megrez 90, 8″ LX200 Classic by USM Dr.Chong, Hin Hua Astronomy Club’s VC200L and … (let me recall..)

Photos will be uploaded soon. It’s been a long time since my last post. I’m getting lazy and in low spirits. I lost almost 90% of my spirit in a girl.
