WCS Science Camp 2008

In 3 August 2008, I escaped chemistry final exam and flew to Taiwan to participate in 11th Wu Chien-Shiung (WCS) Science Camp as  a Malaysian delegate. Not only having great food, great accommodation, magnificent landscapes with beautiful girls, but also fascinating lectures by Nobel Laureates and world leading scientists. Unfortunately, I was having too much fun the first few days I reached Taipei that I almost fell asleep during the first few lectures.

Recently, the scenes that I had during my stay in Taiwan kept on appearing in my mind. Therefore I decided to put down all my work and dedicate my time for uploading the photos (which I should have done 2 years before). I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

The photos are arranged ascending by time.

Enjoy!

I would like to share my “formula” to win a prize in science camp. As you know, astronomy is my biggest interest ever and the theme of 4th MICSS Science Camp was space science which absolutely fitted my taste. Due to my sheer interest and excitement at astronomy, I was extraordinarily active in learning and approaching professors. When I participated in WCS Science Camp, I was equally active in asking questions and expressing my curiosity. To my surprise, this attitude again led me to an award which I did not expect at all since there were so many competitive peers from greater education background and frankly speaking, I did not put much effort into preparation and understanding of the lectures as I took this adventure as a vacation.
