The worlds are watching Indonesia these weeks since we are the only land which can experience Total Solar Eclipse. Even many tourists and astronomers around the worlds had come weeks ahead to Indonesia to book strategic place to watch this one-life-time phenomenon. In the past, Total Solar Eclipse was occurred 33 years ago in 1983 and it will occur 30 years later in 2046.

"Total solar eclipses occur when the Moon comes between the Sun and the Earth and casts the darkest part of its shadow (the umbra) on Earth. The darkest point of the eclipse is almost as dark as night."

Below are 12 provinces in Indonesia which can experience Total Solar Eclipse:
Palembang, Bangka, Belitung, Palangkaraya, Balikpapan, Sampit, Luwuk, Ternate, Tidore, Palu, Poso, and Halmahera.

I stay in Purbalingga, Central Java. Unfortunately, I cannot watch the TSE. However, it still can be seen since morning when I was walking to office that the sun becomes very-berry-bright-white with the shape of crescent. It’s pretty. Looks like the sun smile at me and wish me ‘happy birthday, Gita’ ^^

Taare Zameen Par

Taare Zameen Par ~ “Like Stars on Earth” (released 21 December 2007) is another movie from Aamir Khan that I adore after Three Idiots and Ghajini . It is really really really a touching and beautiful movie. It tells about an eight-year-old-boy, named Ishaan, who is dyslexic but blessed with excellent painting talent. Taare Zameen Par received numerous awards, including the Filmfare Best Film Award for 2008 and the 2008 National Film Award for Best Film on Family Welfare . It was India's official entry for the 2009 Academy Awards Best Foreign Film but it failed to progress to the nominations short list.

THE BISCUIT GAME

I was watching Running Man episode 126, which was aired as the last episode in 2012, with Choi Ji Woo as the guest star. In this episode, the funny scene is when Kim Jong Kook doing his mission to obtain a star by playing “biscuit game” with Yoo Jae Suk. Biscuit game uses long-stick-chocolate-biscuit and is played by two persons. One bites and the other moves. The goal is to obtain shortest piece of biscuit after both eating them. Besides game, it is also romantic for couple. However, can you imagine if it’s the muscle-Commander who did it with Grasshopper? It’s laugh bursting!  Kim Jong Kook chose Yoo Jae Suk as his partner to do the mission. Tiger, who can’t eat sweet chocolate, chose to bite the biscuit. It means Grasshopper had to approach eating out the chocolate part.
