So I braved the cold and stayed up all night so I could catch the meteor shower.
If you don't know what the heck I'm talking about, read my previous post. NOW.
Anyway!
Accompanied by a friend who enjoyed star-gazing, a star watching program running on the laptop and a compass, we sat out and watched.

Unfortunately, despite getting information that it was going to be a great night to watch as the moon won't be too bright, it was ............. extremely cloudy.
12 AM
1 AM
2 AM
3 AM
4 AMI used a white balancing option on the camera which gives me the ability to capture in the dark but sometimes I'd capture objects in an eerie glow of green.
As you can see, it was pretty cloudy all night. BOO.
However, I did spot a total of three meteors going by! They were so brief that you'd think you were imagining the sudden sparkles in the night sky. Luckily I had someone watching with me so I know I'm not insane.
Each of them were sudden and unexpected as we didn't really think we get to see any through the clouds but were patient enough to wait in hope that the clouds would go away.
The last one stunned us as it was accompanied by a huge streak of light.
Unfortunately it was still really cloudy by 4.30 AM
With only an hour to go before the end of the meteor shower peak, it didn't seem as if the skies were going to clear so we decided to quit.
It was pretty cool to be able to be able to catch a glimpse of the meteor shower, even if it was just three meteors streaking by. It would have been better if the those pesky clouds would go away but hey, I've got no control over mother nature.
After spotting each meteor going by, each of us fell silent, clasped our hands together and made a wish. Yes, there's no way these massive rocks can grant wishes but there's no harm trying.
And fortunately for me, I had exactly three wishes ;)
Sorry guys. I was really hoping to catch something on video, but I'm just fortunately not to catch a cold instead :)

Ehm... Are u sure u saw meteors and not Autobots landing on Earth?
Omg! :@
LOL.. unfortunately I am no expert on meteors so I wouldn't be able to tell the difference between rocks and Autobots going at rapid speeds!
I haven't watched the movie but don't all boys want Transformers to be real? So maybe you should be going "yay!" instead? :)
yeay! i see the autobots coming!
