cravings...
The thought of Ice creams, chocolates or even durians may make our mouths water. Share with us some of your favourite cravings and explain how best to enjoy them.
what's happening way up there...
At 7.31am on Friday, a large empty rocket hull the size of an SUV and travelling at 9 000km/h smacked into the moon’s surface in what will go down in history as one of the oddest and most expensive ways to go divining for water.
The impact, in a crater called Cabeus at the south pole, was supposed to kick up a 10km-high plume of debris. Four minutes later, a following probe, the Opel Corsa-sized Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite, or LCROSS for short, followed the rocket through the cloud of dust and rubble, taking a flurry of pictures before smashing into the smoking hole left by its predecessor.
Sadly for rocket science, the pictures, which the scientists hoped would determine whether there is water on the moon – and which cost $79m to take – were fuzzy

Hi there guys and gals
I believe most of you would have an extraordinary story to tell when it comes to relating your experiences during the first few weeks in UMP. So, why don't you share some of your stories, especially those funny ones so that we can all have some light moments to cheer us up.
Looking forward to your responses. :)

Since many of us are worried about the current spread of the H1n1 virus, write a comment on what you are doing to help safeguard yourselves and the community you are in. I know this topic may seem to sound quite boring, but I feel that the sooner we understand this strain of virus the faster we can rid ourselves off the worries and incoveniences caused by it. Well waiting to hear some interesting response from you.
Happy blogging.
Happy blogging.
