Start of the Lunar Eclipse
For a lunar eclipse, the process is much slower and you wouldn't notice a huge difference as the Moon doesn't travel to the Earth's Umbra immediately; but for a solar eclipse, it happens quickly! I hope I'll be able to witness it the next time.. if i'm still alive haha!
On a closer look, you are able to notice a slight orange tinge for the portion of the Moon which has travelled to the Earth's umbra. Thus, you are still able to see the outline of a full moon even though it's dark :)
Too bad I do not own any telescopic lens hence the pictures are not of HD quality . Wondering if I should invest in a telescope or telescopic lens as the latter is much more expensive amounting to around 2k but also, able to view as well as capture photographs!
We were there for close to 2 hours and managed to witness the whole lunar eclipse and left when it's at it's maximum at 10:31pm. Colour was too faint for our cameras :(
My cousin Donovan took this picture from his DSLR! So beautiful right? :)

Jeremy also pointed out a few stars in the night sky namely Gemini & Orion as well as planet Jupiter! We were looking at this iPhone app of the position of the stars and comparing with the sky. How fun!
We went to have supper next at this place near the Cableski Park. It's not a good decision D: I regretted going there and will NEVER be there again!
So we were eating satays, drinking coconut juices and chatting among ourselves and I was using my phone. Felt something ticklish on my foot and I thought it's a centipede, or a big ant. Shook it off and was thinking to myself:
"How can there be such a GIGANTIC ant which actually tickles if they crawl?"
Looked down and guess what I saw?!?!?!

EWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!! It's an ADULT COCKROACH!!!!!
I didn't scream nor jump because it's crawling 1 metre away from me already and I was feeling pretty annoyed.
But of course, the above image was taken from Google. I wouldn't even have the guts to sit still and take a proper picture. It's utterly disgusting :( I was wearing wedges and not slippers leh. Of all places must come n crawl up my wedges and onto my foot! :(
Next, we saw more cockroaches around that area. It's so dirty, there's even roaches at the walkway :(
So i went home and washed my foot more than 10 times with Lifebuoy and detergent powder. Not forgetting the sanitizers and wet tissues. Hais why so suay :( Even if you wanna win 4D or lottery the probability is close to 0 unless you are the lucky few among millions of people. This is not the only encounter with cockroaches btw.
Cockroaches crawled into my bathroom whilst bathing before. It happened THRICE!
1st Occasion
I was only in Kindergarten. About 6? Mummy was wiping my body with a wet cloth preparing me for bed and the door was half closed. A roach flew in, landed on the edge of the door and started crawling. My mum shrieked and stumbled out. I was still standing inside, clueless about what's going on, watching the cockroach crawling up and down. My Mum and Sister were yelling at me to get out and I still walked out slowly and they were laughing at me.
2nd Occasion
Rinsing my body preparing for bed as usual. I always sleep really late during holidays like 4-5 am which is a really bad idea because bugs like this will usually invade your house, besides the big brown beetle. Saw a cockroach crawling on the ceiling and ran out screaming. Mum scolded me for disturbing the neighbours but I was like WTF because it's a roach and she's caring about the neighbours instead lol.
3rd Occasion
Again, I was bathing and worse still, finished soaping my feet preparing to rinse myself. Saw a big black object on the wall and it was crawling towards my towel. Hence, how to escape with my towel?!?!? I didnt dare to spray hot water on it otherwise it'll fly towards me. Ran out without wearing anything, almost slip and fall because of the soap and the worse thing is the monthly auntie is visiting me on the 2nd day. Sigh..I was so upset with all these roaches that I tell my Mum to tape a big laundry net on thewindow.
Seriously I don't know why I keep having encounters with Roaches! 1 baby roach even crawled out from my bag of fries before :(
Enough of the disgusting details! The lunar eclipse slowly ended, revealing the moon once again :)
