oh nvm that, i'll guess i just have to retake the whole subject... no pre-requisites for it so i wont feel so bad... anyway, i'm not reali going into that right now...
i wanna talk about the day before before that!
during that very day, chia haw sent me a link thru msn for news on star online that there is going to be a visible meteor shower from 1am - 4am... and everytime i open google's homepage, i can see that even google highlighted the event. u can see lots of falling stars along with the word google on the homepage during that time.
well, if u didnt know, i actually have quite an interest for this small small things... hahaha... from solar eclipse to lunar eclipse and to meteor showers. i want to see them with my own eyes! but no matter how, i would always fail miserably...
i could still remember, during the forecast of the lunar eclipse, i went to inti that night to get a nice view. what better location than the top of the building on top of a mountain. i went there with the excuse of wanting to study but turned on my timer for every 5 mins. every 5 mins, my alarm would ring and i will take a good look at the sky... hoping to see the moon covered up by the earth's shadow... the view that i expected was a bright moon with a mass of darkness in the middle....
but in the end... that night was no different then any other night.... i didnt see any eclipse nor anything like it... i see clouds covering it nia...
Then came the solar eclipse forecast. in Malaysia, its raining and cloudy all day long... i couldnt even see the sun in the first place. well, they did say in malaysia we wont get to see much for from our view, the sun will only be covered 8%... a big let down...
ahh.. i digressed... the most recent one was the so called perseid meteor shower. some comet named swift turtle was suppose to come quite close to earth and breaking up bit by bit... these little bits will then collide with our atmosphere and burn up... we're suppose to be able to see these little sparks as meteor showers...
i expected to see this.
or this...
maybe even this....

yeap. only this
it was all pitch blaccccckkkk!!
well, i did see something. a smmmmmall tiny bit la... i dont know if its my imagination but i did see a few strands of white threads TWICE... but neither of it lasted for even 2 secs so i'm not 100% sure... and must stare very long only can see...(i think i can see more if i stare at my dad's head) that time i saw it was barely 1 am... it was juz 12 sumthing...
i remember i went to see at about 10 then decided to rest abit n wake up at 12.30 to go watch the sky again... i had an early wake-up call and went straight outside to see at about 12.15am... i spent quite a while lying on the back of my mum's car while watching the sky... (my neck hurts after a while looking straight up while standing.so muz find comfortable position.)so far there isnt anything to be proud of but atleast i tried. for that i'm pretty satisfied. but one day i will surely have a good look at it... I SHALL see it with my own eyes.
or is it like how cousin says it,
"Aiyaa, lidat u wont see wan laar.. without the right person beside u, u wont see anything!"
i was sitting something like this if u asked how do u sit ON my mum's wira.
n yes, almost everyone that passed by stared at me.
but i couldnt care less.... ahaha.
thats just me.
(note: imagine the car is blue, this is the only picture i can get)
