The welfare rep saw 12 shooting stars on 12/08/08.
haha:) i went for some astronomy stuff yesterday and then the ppl were saying that there would be shooting stars yesterday night. most of us didnt intend to see the stars cos 1. it'll be very cold. 2. the person didnt sound convincing..
told some 6K-ers abt it during mass convo yesterday before dinner... Jiajun and Jeremy were encouraging me to see the shooting stars since it's not something that we get to see in Singapore.
anyway, the bio ppl had bio tutorial with Ms Soh and i was the only one left in the room. finished mugging thermal physics and waves alone.. it was already 10pm then and the rest were still not back.. decided to step into the balcony and try my luck..
waited in the cold for 5min... nothing happens. then suddenly... A SHOOTING STAR!!! haha felt very touched at the moment. quickly made a wish :) subsequently there were many more shooting stars :) the 7b girls returned not long after and the 4 of us spent 2 hrs star gazing until 12am.
we were really lucky.. other ppl cant see the sky from their balcony.. we had a very good view of the entire night sky.. DK can only see trees from his balcony.. haha
Jeremy recommended wearing 5 layers of clothing yesterday.. well.. i kinda heeded the advice cos it was really freezing.. wore 3 layers in total: one long sleeved shirt, one jacket and one windbreaker. i looked like kueh lapis :)
saw a total of 12 shooting stars... made the same wish all the time... wondering if it'll come through.. too bad no meteor shower. oh well the stars were gd enough. probably gonna try our luck tonight again. not sure if we'll be as lucky as yesterday.. but it was really fun.. great sense of satisfaction.
all right shall end here. once again, thanks Jiajun and Jeremy for strongly encouraging me ato see the shooting stars yesterday :) it was really spectacular!
