Geminid meteors

It's the time of the year again!

It's the Geminid Meteor Shower!!!

I've saw it once few years ago, and I did it again.

This time, I manage to see more than I expected. Indeed my best night of my life, able to see more in a night.

According to Earthsky, the peak hour for Geminid Meteor is between 13th night til 14th dawn. At my area, during that time was cloudy and drizzled a little. Moreover, I was too busy for my assignment submission, I stayed up all night doing it. I did went out from the house to check the sky, but it was cloudy. It's the monsoon season, and I'm not that surprise if it rains at night.

As for today, I just looked up to the sky, surprisingly it was so clear!

I could more stars today as well. The Orion Constellation which also known as the hunter is the most obvious in the sky. I was mesmerized by the beauty of the night. really 아름다운 밤, a beautiful night. This reminds me of the same name song by a Korean Group, Beast. Now, the song is stuck in my head.

As I was smiling away looking at the stars, then I came to see few streaks of meteors, it was quite fast. I was happy, that I'm able to see it. Then I just waited, then I saw one, a slower and brighter with whoosh sound, seeing it, leaving a trail with the sound and then, it burst, n gone. That's the 2nd most memorable one I've ever seen because this is considered the 1st time I see a clear and slower in speed, at home. The 1st of course, I saw it when I was in a plane, flying from Sabah back to KL. AWESOME!!

Greed came in, and I wanna see more, and I did. I'm truly blessed that I could see it clearly.

Then I remembered, reading somewhere that we could see the Orion Nebulae along the 'sword' of the the Hunter. I went and took a binoculars, and I'm more than happy that I could see the blurry image of the Nebulae. I mean, I could see it is the Nebulae. I'm so happy because the sky is soooo clear. I think this is considered clearest compared to other nights.

I could sleep nicely tonight, smiling...

A lil of Asian

I've been listening to Korean a lot. K-Pop, all thanks to TVXQ. 5 or 2 or 3, They never fail me.

Then, recently, just past few days, had a sudden urge to listen to Filipino songs by M.Y.M.P especially. The main, girl vocal, is soo jazzy and soothing.

Not only Filipino, then I listened to local and Indonesia songs. The old ones. Not that old, like Peterpan, Samsons, Hujan, Siti Nurhaliza. I find that some older songs are nicer to listen.

One day, shall listen to all Chinese then Japanese, no..Japanese is in my JKPop list in Itunes. However, i'm not that keen to Thai or IndoChina parts of songs. maybe shall try one day..few songs.
