Memburu Hujan Meteor

We stayed up until late last night. Hoping to catch the glimpse of the Meteor Shower di ruang angkasa Malaysia. I was on fb when I stumble upon the news that we will be able to glimpse the meteor shower starting from 11pm last night until the early hours of  this morning. So I told Mr Hubby and the kids and they were very excited about it. It was almost 11pm when I break the news and none of them were sleepy after having a blast bermain bunga api dan mercun depan rumah. Jadi kami pun terus bersiap dan keluar rumah. 

Kalau nak tengok hujan meteor Perseid itu, kita dinasihatkan pergi jauh dari perbandaran, find a dark place, dengan langit yang cerah dan pandanglah ke arah timur laut, one would be able to catch a glimpse of debu-debu komet Swift-Tuttle yang memasuki atmosfera bumi menghasilkan pancuran cahaya.

Heading to somewhere dark, jauh dari perumahan. Tapi tak tau nak ke mana. Fahmi tak berhenti-henti bertanya macam mana rupa hujan meteor itu. He wanted to be sure of what he was going to see, manalah tau kalau-kalau dia ternampak. Kenalah tahu bezakan antara lampu kapal terbang yang berkelip-kelip tu kan ha ha ha.We went as far as Puncak Alam only. It was neither a dark nor a quite place. Mr Hubby was reluctant to drove farther. We shifted from one place to another. The last one we ended up dekat kawasan lapang berhampiran masjid Kg. Budiman. The clock ticked 1am. Katanya itulah peak time untuk melihat pancuran hujan meteor. Tapi sayang we didn't see any. Rasanya, we were at the wrong place last night. The kids were tired of waiting. They had fallen asleep. Yaya woke up for sahur (dia nak join kami puasa 6) bertanyakan kalau kami ada ternampak hujan meteor masa dia tertidur. Poor them. Mereka nak sangat lihat hujan meteor.

Should I show them this photos taken by Mr Hubby? Untuk mengubat kekecewaan mereka tak dapat melihat meteor shower secara live?

They look convincing enough to pass as meteor shower te he he...

But they are not. Ini bukan percikan debu-debu komet Swift-Tuttle. Tetapi snapshots of percikan mercun yang diambil oleh Mr Hubby. Kalau dah tak dapat tengok rupa hujan meteor sebenar, bayangkan sajalah rupanya seakan-akan ini. Kuang3x...
