* Major decisions, pulling me down..?*

Recently just did an online application with TP..Send my transcripts on the day itself too.. Wah. So kiasu..i know.. hahaha

But thats one thing.. Another thing i'm worried abt is whether i will be accepted & i will have to aplly to NTUC-SEp for subsidised fees.. which is two months away.. they have this rule where you can only apply for subsidised fees 2 months from the date of course commencement.. & the course is due to start in November 6. that if i'm accepted though. so no harm trying rite.. ?

if i managed to get thru.. i get thru.. if not.. it next choice will be MDIS..

k enuff of me crapping again..

saw something interesting in my email today.. just wanna share with u guys...



June 19, 2006—It looks like a rainbow that's been set on fire, but this phenomenon is as cold as ice.

Known in the weather world as a circumhorizontal arc, this rare sight was caught on film on June 3 as it hung over northern Idaho near the Washington State border (map of Idaho).

The arc isn't a rainbow in the traditional sense—it is caused by light passing through wispy, high-altitude cirrus clouds. The sight occurs only when the sun is very high in the sky (more than 58° above the horizon). What's more, the hexagonal ice crystals that make up cirrus clouds must be shaped like thick plates with their faces parallel to the ground.

When light enters through a vertical side face of such an ice crystal and leaves from the bottom face, it refracts, or bends, in the same way that light passes through a prism. If a cirrus's crystals are aligned just right, the whole cloud lights up in a spectrum of colors.

This particular arc spanned several hundred square miles of sky and lasted for about an hour, according to the London Daily Mail.
