THE GEMINIDS ARE FALLING!!!

Whoohoo~! Hello everybody it's that time of the year again! Tomorrow happens to be the peak of the Gemini meteorite shower wheeee. It's like the most exciting event that I look forward to each year besides Christmas and New Year (because these events are spent with NINEPEE WHOOOOOO!)

I've compiled a list of necessary conditions and items to bring along while catching a meteorite shower.

1. NIGHT. Like duh. You can't see meteorites with your naked (Gawsh I lurrrve the wurd NAYKED.) eye during the day unless you're like some super being like Superman. And you've got to be somewhere dark really. At least where you can't see any light source within like 5 meters in front of you. That'd be good enough because Singapore's so heavily lit. Come to think of it the best place to be would really be at Lim Chu Kang. Not the cemetery, the campsite. It's really dark there and the best astronomical experience I'd had was there during the Secondary 3 camp.

2. CLEAR AND OPEN SKIES. This is super important because if the sky where you're at isn't clear, there's no point really, because all the meteors will be shooting by and all you'll be seeing will be clouds. Also no point if your entire view of the sky can be blocked by the back of a hobbit's hand. Okay I have no idea why I used that analogy, but anyway, you need a big sky.

3. GROUNDSHEETS. This would be absolutely necessary unless you have a better alternative like a sofa or a bed or a sofabed. Oh well. Nah that's rubbish why would you find any bed-like item in a dark open place? Ooh. Kinky. But anyway, groundsheets are vital because they're meant to be spread on the ground for you to lie on. It can be tiring having to bend your head skywards for the duration of the night. Trust me I've been there. JUST LIE ON THE BLOODY GROUND.

4. WARM CLOTHES. No you really wouldn't want to freeze under the sky. It can get reeeeally reeeally cold at night. Ask the Winter Melon if you don't believe. Bring warm woolly socks too! They come in handy. Don't be lazy just do it. (HEAR THAT DONGUA?!)

5. GOOD COMPANY. whoohoo with good company, even if you aren't interested in the sky, you've got good reason to lie on the ground. Oh hoho, sorry I can't lend 9P to you guys. Go find your own.


WAHHAAHAHAHA I love lists. Anyway you should be discerning in whatever you read to judge for yourself what is rubbish and what isn't. Basically I'm rubbish. But that doesn't mean that every single thing I say is rubbish. Okay I think I'm emotionally unstable I should so totally go and be a Goth. ;) Okay that was rubbish.

ENJOY THE GEMINIDS!!!!!!!

People In Life 1

--- Carolyn is my sister. She's eight years older than me, and most of the time people react to this by raising their eyebrows and remarking "Wah, the age gap so big ah?" She's pretty, and this is confirmed by all the stares she gets from men and women alike when she goes on the streets. Carolyn is a Christmas baby, and that makes her all the more special to me. I always tell her how lucky she is to receive twice the presents on her birthday, and she always pretends to cry and say "Boohoo who on their birthday still must give presents to other people one?"

When we were young we used to play and quarrel. We don't quarrel now, not at all and I think it's amazing. We still call each other names like idiot and moron for fun, and she behaves like a kid most of the time when we're together. haha. We still game on the xbox together, and yes we do things together. She has Joe now, the guy she's going to get married to, and I think they're going to be really happy together. Occasionally I feel neglected because she's always out with Joe, (the past two weeks when Joe was in Australia was the most homey she's ever been in a very long time) but it is always made up with bonding sessions in each others' room.

People tell me that she and I are extraordinarily close, but most of the time I just think to myself "This is how sisters should be." Carolyn guides me through life. She's always there to advise me on tough stuff. She has expectations of me, and more often then not I think I fail them, being the big loser that I always have been. Sigh. More and more I feel like she's shaping my life. I don't mean it in a bad way, in fact I think the future seems more secure like that, but sometimes I do feel like she's moulding my life in her footsteps. And maybe that's not what I really want. I always tell her not to pay for my meals and movie tickets and karaoke expenses when we go out but she still does it anyway, even though she's currently saving up for her wedding next year. I guess to her I'll always be her kid sister and to me she'll always be my dajie. I feel a tinge of sadness when I think of her wedding and I know it will be soon that she moves out and start a new phase of her life. But I'm happy that she can finally get that pet dog we both have been wanting! Haha. And on top of that I'm happy that she can finally really lead a life of her own, and start a family.

There's so much more about her that I can go on about but...
I LOVE MY SISTER!
That just sums up all that I have to say.
