Sammi Cheng Singapore Concert 2010: April 2

Sally — Sun, 28 Feb 2010 05:55:39 +0000

The chameleon of Cantopop returns from a hiatus with her brand new tour ‘Sammi Cheng Love Mi World Tour – Singapore’ on 2nd April 2010 at the Singapore Indoor Stadium.

Sammi Cheng started her career as the 2nd runner-up in the hugely popular New Talent Singing Awards in 1988. To stand out from the sea of newcomers, Sammi started experimenting with outlandish hairstyles, makeup and fashion, including her infamous ‘Nike’ eyebrow. Her new image called for a new music direction and she broke away from crooning love tunes to taking on unique upbeat and techno beats, and created her own sound.

In her brand new ‘‘Sammi Cheng Love Mi World Tour – Singapore’, Sammi lives up to her reputation of being the ever-transforming Cantopop queen with her extensive costume changes. She will dazzle fans with specially-customised outfits and effects for this tour and her songlist will include hits from past and present such as ‘Chotto Matte’, ‘值得’ (Zhi De), ‘不拖不欠’ (Bu Tuo Bu Qian), ‘唯独你不可取替’ (Wei Du Ni Bu Ke Qu Ti), ‘叮噹’ (Ding Dang) and more.

Solar Eclipse Singapore: best viewing time and more

Sally — Fri, 15 Jan 2010 02:38:00 +0000

Don’t miss the solar eclipse in Singapore today! The solar eclipse is said to be the longest of its kind in the next 1,000 years.

Solar eclipse will last for just over 11 minutes at its peak over the Indian Ocean. People in Singapore, please note this down:

In Singapore, solar eclipse will last from about 3.10pm to 5.30pm, with the best viewing time at about 4.25pm.

Singapore Science Centre will set up its giant telescope and host various activities to mark the event. It will also hand out free solar glasses through which the eclipse can be viewed safely.

About Solar Eclipse

A solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the Sun and the Earth so that the Sun is fully or partially covered. This can only happen during a new moon, when the Sun and Moon are in conjunction as seen from the Earth.

At least two and up to five solar eclipses can occur each year on Earth, with between zero and two of them being total eclipses. Total solar eclipses are nevertheless rare at any location because during each eclipse totality exists only along a narrow corridor in the relatively tiny area of the Moon’s umbra.

In ancient times, and in some cultures today, solar eclipses have been attributed to supernatural causes. Total solar eclipses can be frightening for people who are unaware of their astronomical explanation, as the Sun seems to disappear in the middle of the day and the sky darkens in a matter of minutes.

The solar eclipse of January 15, 2010 is an annular eclipse of the Sun with a magnitude of 0.9190. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, thereby totally or partially obscuring Earth’s view of the Sun. An annular solar eclipse occurs when the Moon’s apparent diameter is smaller than the Sun, causing the sun to look like an annulus (ring), blocking most of the Sun’s light. An annular eclipse will appear as partial eclipse over a region thousands of miles wide.

It will be visible as a partial eclipse in much of Africa, Eastern Europe, Middle East and Asia. It will be seen as annular within a narrow stretch of 300 km (190 mi) width across Central Africa, Maldives, South Kerala (India), South Tamil Nadu(India), North Sri Lanka, parts of Burma and parts of China.
