Meteor "Shower"? More like Meteor "Piss" wahaha!

Even "Piss" is too strong a word. Should be "spit". Wahahah! Cos the few of us only managed to see at most 5 or 6 meteorite shooting across the clear sky. The only thing the hinders our vision was the bright Singapore skyline. Clifton picked me and Jacenta up and drove us to the Tampines dirt bike trail, as I suggested to go there to try our luck. It seemed that we couldn't really see anything, plus the fact that I got bitten several times by commando mosquitoes just by standing there for a few minutes, we quickly went to search for a better place. Clifton then drove us to Punggol Marina area, but still it was a bad idea. We then finally settled at ECP, the furthest end nearer to Changi. There we sat at a little jetty and watched. We sat there for more than an hour waiting for that short moment of joy. Clifton was the first to witness that split-second flash across the sky. Then Jacenta too. I was going hysterical as I didn't manage to see anything. Alas there was a VERY obvious flash of light across the sky that all of us saw the beautiful trail danced swiftly through the sky like a spark going off and disappearing within less than a second. Altogether we saw a few other dimmer ones, as we spent our time just lazing around there until 4am+. Nuts! Got work the next day. Gonna be zombified. That's the end of our Perseid Meteor Shower adventure.
