No starry eyed surprise...

oh well......i just go so bored.......was reminded by the internet that there was going to be meteor showers over the next few days.............i reminded daniel...and he led me to these webbie by singaporeans on celestial events visible in singapore........the geminids, as it is called since it appears to radiate from the gemini 'constellation'(did i get this rite?)..........


i was quite sure that i wouldn't be able to see anything, and in the end i didn't see anything....but i held high hopes and decided to head out of the house to check it out around 1am...

this is a shit illustration i drew with microsoft paint.....and i think that is why only at midnight or past midnight that meteors can be seen...as the earth intercepts the meteors path head on...with the meteors crashing into earth's atmosphere.......

as i stepped out of my house...i took a long long walk to jurong point 7 11....to get a drink.....and took a long walk back to the other 711 at a petrol kiosk......all the time walking with my head tilted upwards to gaze at the sky...........its probably too bright in singapore to see anything.....so bright that there are low crime rates in signapore.....but i thought...if i could see stars, surely i could also see the meteors........as i walked to the other 711.......i bought snacks and more drinks......and continue walking...i decided its better to stop walking and just sit somewhere and concentrate....but at the busstop, there was sheltar over my head.........there is this mini 'colosseum' thingy....but it was too brightly lit as well...then found this barbeque pit area, but there were just trees blocking the way.argh......as i strolled i finally thought of the idea of going to the highest level of the multi story carpark, where there will be nothing over my head, and where it is still brightly lit, but dimmer than most other areas........i stepped into the lift of the multi story carpark and pressed 6.........it is so quiet everywhere, though i'm use to staying out late, the lift is moving exteremly slowly.....its not exactly been serviced regularly i guess...it creaks and moves up really slowly.......worst....the doors have glass panels which allows you to look out of the lift.....which makes it even creepier since the lift moves so freaking slow, which gives you enough time to concentrate on whats out, enough for something bad to appear just rite outside the door...........

well was just exaggerating....wasn't that scaredy cat, was at ease the whole time, but the thought did cross my mind.......as i was up there, there was only one silver parked car up there.....wondered if anyone was inside having car sex or what......there was vandalism everywhere......i found a spot, a blind spot where ppl in their hdb flats could not see......incase the found me suspicious and decided to call the police.....but...what crime can you possible commit on a the god-forsaken-highest-level of the carpark.......there was this satanic drawing on the ground.....that star, pentagram or something...forgot how it looked...with somewords on the edges............but it doesn't look the least frightening....because it is so sloppy.........ppl who want to communicate with the dead or devil should at least draw a neat diagram......, a perfect circle.......

stood about 20 mins up there.......no sign of any meteors..............saw some stars....but there were few.....by right, the sky should be littered with stars...but since it is so bright from where i am, i probably can see anything, except the dark outerspace.........just like on concert stages you know......the lightings the lights the stage is so strong, that it is so bright at the stage...and if you happen to be on the stage......and where the audience are, it is dark......the musicians,entertainers can't see any audience at all..........so actually when pop stars wave to their fans in their concerts...they can't actually see their fans at all..........theri waving at darkness......

i was spinning in circles on that very spot.....scanning the sky from one part to another...the sky, too big for the eyes to capture .......at one point i saw something flash past for a split second...but i'm pretty sure it was just my imagination...or a reflection of light on my spectacles or something........

gave up....and left.....................sigh...how uniteresting..................i need to learn more about astronomy before i ever hope to see these things...........
