I was walking Remo tonight and managed to capture this picture:

This is a rare event:

On Monday night Venus, Jupiter and a three-day-old crescent Moon, will appear as a smiley face above the western horizon.

The unusual astronomical event will be close enough to see with the naked eye, any time from 9pm onwards.

But if you miss it, you will have to wait another five years before the formation appears again.

In the photo above, the left “eye” is not so clear. This picture was taken at 8pm Malaysian time.

Gods smiling at us?

Thanks. It will be nice if there’s a smile every night, but knowing humans, we will take it for granted. I’ll settle for small miracles like this.

balan im not going talk comment about moon but about walking remo…. what if remo poop on the road!! or park while you bring him to walk wont it mess the place.

Last week i went for a jog at bandar botanic klang, the park is full of dog droppings.

Some dog owners are very irresponsible just because they are lazy to clean up they will bring their pets for walk and let them have “releasing pleasure” at the park and roadside.

Hope you are not one of them.

well, my taman has lots of buffer (green) area which people don’t walk/use. we have separate area for jogging and playground, which i don’t bring my dog into. only problem now is that Remo tends to mark trees and plants with its urine. and of course, i never allow it to urinate or poop on road or in front of people house. i’ve seen other dog owners in my area also quite responsible. only problem is the stray dogs.
