"Don't Judge A Book By Its Cover"

I met a guy on my flight from Labuan to Kota Kinabalu. My friend and I did not get the nearer seat. This guy is sitting next to me, while my friend sitting alone on the other side but we are in he same row. My friends told me to sit next to her, but i said i'm afraid there will be someone who actually own that seat. So, while waiting, i saw the guy next to me. He was munching some peanut and i saw he has tattoo around his hand. My first impression was, "this guy is a gangster". Then, suddenly he realized that i was staring at him. I was shocked when he looked at me because i was afraid that he could punch me anytime. Surprisingly, he smiled at me. I was speechless. Then, my friend's voice woke me up. She asked me to sit next to her as there is nobody sitting beside her eventhough there is no more passengers went in. i was afraid to change my seat, then the guy next to me kindly said "it's ok. nothing to be afraid". He did it again! Then i sat beside my friend and still staring at the guy. He realy looks like a gangster and the tattoo that he has reflect that he was a fierce person. I keep thinking why is that person has a kind attitude, but it does not reflect from his appearance. I asked my friend to take a look at that guy. She has the same impression like me, but then she said that that guy is really kind instead of his looks. Then, this experience really thought me that never ever judge a book by its cover and never ever judge a person by its looks. =)

Astronomy Around Us

Astronomy? I'm sure that your first impression is outer space, black, stars, nebulae, blackholes and also the space shuttle. Those things always become the main impression if the phrase 'Astronomy' come. It is actually only half of the field or even only a quarter from the field. I really want to change those perception and i want to emphasize to everyone that ASTRONOMY IS AROUND US. Let us see why i said so. Each day in a week has a relationship with astronomy. Believe it? No? Okay. Where does the "SUNDAY" got its name? From the words 'sun'... How about MONDAY?? It is actually from the words 'moon'.. SATURDAY?? It is from the word 'SATURN'... Interesting right?? That is why i said ASTRONOMY IS REALLY AROUND US!!! One more thing, let us look at ourself. Our body is made up of many elements such as hydrogen, oxygen and many more. This element is actually come from the stars. So, if you said that you did not have telescope, that is why you cannot involve in astronomy, i will said that YOU ARE WRONG!!! Astronomy is very wide field, whoever you are and wherever you are, you can study and involve in Astronomy starting today! =)
