The Sun is seen at the peak of an annular solar eclipse on the sky above Anyer beach, Banten Province, Indonesia, Monday, January 26 afternoon. During the solar eclipse peak, the moon shadows 92.82% of the sun surface. Some cheering and banging on drums as the moon slowly crossed its path, blocking out everything but a thin, blazing rim of fire.

Well, Anti-goeg. Happy now you have the attention you want?
Please, cease. I can't please everyone.
Whatever it is, Anti-goeg, if you have an issue, perhaps you should come talk to me, face to face. As of now, you are breaking certain laws set by our government. Do read it up here. A fellow teacher as written about Netiquette. You do need a rather good command of English.

I hope you do realise what you've done.

Hellos, been busy.

Found some websites on Water, especially on the Hydrologic cycle.

(http://www.kidzone.ws/water/)
This has a really simple explaination for the water cycle! Because it's from a kiddy website, haha.

This the non-kiddy version, haha.

Dear Students,
I'm marking your Exam scripts now,
So you've got free time right?
COME HERE! :p

Haha, :)

This post is for Unit 10 - Case Study of Krakatoa in Indonesia. I'd probably start going through this Unit after exams. Do read up before I start it in class! It's a bit different from your other Units 'cause it's a case study. Very much like History. Because it is a case study, you have to know the nitty gritty facts to back up your statements in your exam papers (if ever it does come out in your exam paper.)

Krakatoa's eruption in 1883 was so massive that they made it into a movie! If we finish the syllabus early I think I might be able to show it.. hmmmm! sounds good?

So to help you along the way, here's some websites you can go visit!

Discover Krakatoa
http://dsc.discovery.com/convergence/krakatoa/interactive/interactive.html
I found this some time back, and I thought the anmation given is very good. Do go visit this website! It gives a step by step explainations and side facts about the 1883 and 1927 eruptions. Very handy, I like.

YouTube - World's Most Amazing Videos - Volcano Eruption
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fn7Dz6o-w7g&feature=related
This video shows a volcanic eruption, and it shows pyroclastic flows. I watched this and I got so very scared. Goodness, it's like a big, mean cloud ready to chomp you. :(
