meteor shower

yes we witnessed a meteor shower! we meaning me and sc. cool right? anyway, we met at changi at abt 7.30pm on thursday 14th dec. the meteor shower was projected to be at it's peak arnd that day, with an estimated 100 showers per minute. so yeah.

and the watch was absolutely fabulous. if not for the large number of storm clouds that night, it wld hav been better. the night was qte clear, and u cld see many stars. nvr tot that u cld see so many in singapore. and we saw many meteors! many burned really really bright as they entered the earth's atmosphere. some so close and bright that u cld see their distinct burning tail. cool man. saw a hell lot that night. then after a while, due to the clarity of the stars and the presense of binocs which wei lin, our astro chair, kope from the rj astro store, we started to talk abt the stars. of which wei lin said she cld see the constellation cancer. so i asked her to pass me the binocs and asked where the approx. position is. She said that it was near the constellation canis minor. so i identified canis minor's alpha star( the brightest star in a constellation basically for those who dun hav much astro knowledge) procyon and started to search for cancer through the binocs. omg man, how lucky can i get that a comet streaked across my binocs. that comet wld hav been unseen by the naked eye. wooh! so i saw one which no one else saw. yay. another interesting one was when me and sc were trying to trick someone that we saw a comet by pointing at a plane taking off. only to realise that a comet streaked past the sky next to the plane at that moment. lol

anw, arnd 12 or 1 , the clouds slowly drifted and covered the sky. so we took a break and went to do other stuff. which was fun. we sang songs, and danced! we sang "liu xing yu"(meteor shower, how befitting haha), did befrienders dance, and then learned next yr's orientation dance! wah the songs for next yr's dance qte cool leh. they hav tokyo drift lah. wooh then i went to slp. and woke at arnd 4 plus. the rest after that is boring alrdy. nothing much to say. left changi terminal at 7, b4 the odacians who r arriving there at 10 to recce ubin for next yr's j1 camp. haha so the skills i/c ponned the recce. lol i told them i was too tired(which i was, i wasn't lying k). anw, we hav another recce this coming wed, which is longer and i wun pon. yay.

k that's all!
