3 stars of 2012

This is definitely going into my blog, so when I'm old and I don't remember these events I can come right back here to remind myself how lucky I was.. Hmmm I don't think I'll ever forget these though~ Hahah! So here's the thing, I've mentioned before seeing my virgin shooting star on the Thailand waters while I was on cruise with school. Well not only 1, but 2. Waitt, a background of myself. I love stars ever since I was primary 3.. probably under the influence of my name too! Back to topic, so I already saw my first shooting star and it was a short but sweet one. Right before this photo was taken I think...
AND SO WHO KNOWS I WAS SO FREAKING LUCKY TO CATCH ANOTHER IN SINGAPORE. Like really in east coast. As you know Singapore is so bright we can barely any stars in the sky already, what more a meteor? However there was news reporting that the annual year-end most grand meteor shower is on 14 Dec between 2am-3am. And so one of my secondary school mate camped himself the whole night at pasir ris coastline to catch any meteor.. but he didn't managed to.
I didn't even know there was such news, just right before the jump shots taken at the beach during ode's birthday buffet ... I saw something that was flying across the sky so slowly yet so beautifully. It was up closed, huge, sparkly, blue, red, green, slow and longggg. OMFG, it was a freaking Geminid. Quoted from Wikipedia 'The meteors from this shower are slow moving, can be seen in December and usually peak around the 13th - 14th of the month, with the date of highest intensity being the morning of the 14th.' OMG YES EVERYTHING HERE IS SO TRUE! I saw this on the 14 dec night around 9+ almost 10pm no where near the peak hour for the shower but still.. one of the star just decided to drop down at the moment. Thank god.
And I've learnt my lesson from virgin experience 3 months ago.. don't get so high when you see a meteor, calm down and faster make a wish you really want. LOL, I'm so glad I was in clear mind when I made the wish. hahahah let's hope it comes true okay~ But I have a feeling it it's really coming true, It'll take maybe another 5 more years for me to work towards it. /whuuuuuuuut
Some photos taken from national geographic webby and I literally saw the same thing from the photos.
lucky lucky lucky me running some major luck for shooting stars this year. I really really have to say 2012 has been a super enjoyable and fruitful journey for me since the start until now. It's going to end in 10 more days before I move on to 2013! I really hope to enjoy this last 10 days as much as I can and put 2012 to a really good end. Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy, oh I'm typing this on 21/12/12 too! Hahah, the date where the mayans the earth life will come to an end. It's already 12:40am. But hey, I believe I'll get to celebrate my 18th birthday. I believe so. ㅋㅋㅋㅋ ;)
