SeaSands in the Sun

July 22nd 2009 : Our part of the world was fortunate enough to see the longest solar eclipse - 6min and 39 seconds. We only got to see the end portion of it as we were not located at India nor China. I got pretty excited to see it and Oreja texted me telling me that she could see the eclipse from where she was at. I ran like a fool upstairs, but I didn't have any dark material to look through.

They didn't even get the facts right~ Bottom line: They didn't get lost, and they hiked there for fun, but it was too late to return, and there was no phone reception to call back home. Glad they're safe and sound! Read on to understand what happened. Guess which one is Oreja ;) (Taken from the Star online ) Monday July 13, 2009 Stranded USM students rescued after 22 hours By ANN TAN GEORGE TOWN: Five Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) students and researchers were stranded for 22 hours in Pantai Kerachut due to heavy rain.
