Earth Hour Star Party organised by Republic Poly....

Kate and papa watching a video about the telescope...

Itinerary for the day....

Kate up to her usual antics again...

Fries at RP's canteen.. after that, we went home for her nap....

At night, the whole family went to East Coast Park for the night event. Dinner is at McDonald's, where the staff switch off some (not all) of the lights at 8.30pm. Kate is not really happy, as she threw up in the car due to the massive jam and started becoming feverish.
We went to Area D where RP's students set up some telescopes so that the public can view celestial sights such as the Orion Nebula, Sirius (not the bad guy in Harry Potter!) and Saturn. The sky was quite clear though there are clouds, and the air is warm without wind.
NParks did not switch off the lights in conjunction with Earth Hour...
Below is a pic of Kate and papa queueing up to look through one of the telescopes. She does not appreciate that small eye piece....

Playing with her free light stick....
