i am always late for blogging so now i have to wish u guys a belated new year again. haha.... was mapling while the year 2005 crossed to 2006. nothing fantastic about how i celebrated my new year.
went to eat sakae with my heavenly maths group yesterday and we were thinking why the moon always face the same side towards earth and after much discussion, we decided that we don't have an answer for it. i'm just glad that we SUed it or else i don't know what kind of grade would i be getting. didn't really eat sushi this holidays so i guess yesterday's meal would be compensating for my lack of sushi.
hmm.... have been going out everyday lately so i think i should start to coop myself in my house. my parents are starting to complain. hai... what to do... parents are always like that man.
today going to eat mos burger and i think that i will be playing abit of guitar freak before i head home. too lazy to go to nus le although i know my bag miss me badly since i left it at moyar's room for the whole holiday. haha....
hope u guys are enjoying the new year, the new beginning and new targets of life. i am looking forward to the new year. i hope u do too. :D

Hi, the reason why the moon always have the same face towards the earth because it is in synchronous rotation - this means that for a body that is orbiting another, it takes as long to rotate on its own axis as it takes to make an orbit round the body, therefore, this will keep the same hemisphere pointed at the body it is rotating.
This synchronous rotation is due to tidal locking. Tidal locking is the gravitational attraction that 2 bodies exert on each other that produces a tidal force on each of them.
This is the best I can explain it bah. Anyway Happy New Year!!
