I waited.... and waited.... I tried to pinpoint Orion which appeared pretty dim.. And suddenly, I saw a meteor "dropping" down from the area just below Orion.. (Yup, it's a "dropping" down action.. it didn't shoot across the sky..) And very soon after, I saw another at an area closer to Gemini.
These are the 2 locations where I saw the meteors... (The yellow droplets..)I was getting excited... So I waited... and waited.... and waited... Nothing... Then clouds appeared... Dread..
Sigh, only managed to see 2 "drops".. It's not even a drizzle... == Must be the light pollution, and that layer of "haze" thingy... And of course... the clouds.. And at my vantage point, it's kinda uncomfortable to look at the sky for very long...
How I wish I could take days off, submerse myself in the mountain top with no light pollution and minimal cloud cover, and admire the skies.. Siiiighhh..
You can view more information about Geminids here. (I've a question... How do astrophotographers take photos of meteors.....?????)

My case is worse loh.
Btw, now I know what are the good locations for star gazing (for different direction) around my place.
I can't even see stars.
Saw one shooting star @ abt midnight! It was really shooting, and as bright as Mars!!! It is moving from Orion's belt towards Mars.
Expecting meteor shower or sometihg more than 1 meteor. But since I only waited like 5 minutes. Hmmm... no complain... better than none. :)
So lucky... I never saw a shooting star before, even though I was standing beside someone who saw it. Oh well...
By the law of transitivity, you are lucky as well since you are right next to I_Know_Who. :P
hah? what kind of law is that?? dun understand?
Arrrgghh... Discrete Maths.
