Shooting star always make a spectacular at a lonely night.. But sad to say that i never had a chance to see it..
Until one day, when facebook had been flooded with the news about the Geminids meteor shower at midnight of 13 December..
I went out with my friends at around 12am and waited until 1am.. but a shooting star was nowhere to be seen..
We had a guess we could only watch it by a seaside or on a hills..
The next day, i learnt from some friends that they got a chance to watch the meteor shower at USMKK field.. it's around 2.30am.. and i missed it.. i seriously wanted to witness the magnificent scene of meteor shower with my true eyes..
Second chance came to me when i was doing my assignment at the second night..
It was around 1.30am... my friend told me there was a continuation of the meteor shower that night..
I went out with my roommates for the meteors..
It was a starry night.. the Polaris was hanging just above our heads..
Just after a few minutes we stepped out from our hostel, one of my roommates saw a streak of shooting star flying across the sky, behind my back.. and i missed it again..
We gazed the stars near the field as it was away from the glow of lights..
We enjoyed the time waiting as we could hear people screaming from everywhere..
"They must have saw one," and we would look at the sky attentively, spotting for a shooting star..
After 2 hours of waiting, my roommate had collected 12 shooting stars.. yet i did not spot a single one..
I can actually saw some dim streaks of light flying across the sky, but i was not sure if they were meteors or were just my illusion..
I won't give up easily.. i would not go back unless i saw one..
Finally, a bright, long streak of light flied across the dark, lonely sky.. i was sure it was a shooting star, not my illusion..
There is a saying that your wish will come true if you make a wish upon the shooting star..
But when you really see one with your true eyes, your first response will be shouting, followed by jumping with joy.. when you are going to make a wish, the shooting star has disappeared.. and i was just one of the example of it..
That was the first and only shooting star i've ever seen in my life..
Its glamour disappeared in just a few seconds.. and that's the reason why it was so precious..
I shall engrave this momentary and beautiful image in my heart forever..
At different places, under the same sky, did you see the same shooting star as i did?
