Yup. Today when we got to school around 1 PM and greeted everybody with "good morning!", it was because last night we watched the lyrids meteor shower! Yey!! well, not exactly! See, it was supposed to peak last night, and we were supposed to go around 3 am to the kent ridge hill and watch it from there! But ... marian put the alarm but his phone was on silent ... So we woke up merrily around 4:30 AM, and went to the fourteenth floor (there's a small garden there) and watched it from there!
Bad things: city lights! (so not too dark); saw only 3 meteors
Good things: i had only seen 2 shooting stars before, so this totals it up to 5!; there's going to be a big one on the 5-6 th of May (in the southern hemisphere it's expected to reach 30/hour) ... so this was training if you wish.
Displayed is the only picture we took.
Speaking of training, i have resumed my climbing (though very very very light). Re-scheduled the doctor's appointment for the 26th of april.
Later edit: after climbing today my elbow was numb (even though the climb was ok). self-imposed pause until the 26th. drats!

I've never seen a shooting star! Would love to see one!
There's nothing simpler! all you need is a location away from city lights and some free time on the night of 5-6 may and you're there! must make list of wishes to wish upon the stars though :) ...
