my lucky stars

had the opportunity to sit down during work today.

it was a night shift, so most people were sleeping, thus we had alot of free time on hand.. about 4 hours of sitting around, having nothing much to do except drink some tea, do some walk abouts, chit chat, and prepare for breakfast service.
relatively easy shift, just had to overcome the ZZZ monster that was attacking all of us.


i took the chance to sit by an empty window seat, looking out at the sky, and this was what i saw:


imagine the white dots are stars.
LOADS AND LOADS AND LOADS AND LOADS of sparkling stars!

the sky was pitch black, really clear cos we were above the clouds, and the stars seemed so near.
it feels as if i could easy touch one of them, if i could reach out of the window!
the view was amazing, extraordinary, and a moment which i wished i could capture and keep it with me forever.

some were brighter, some were twinkling (well, all were twinkling i supposed but some of them so tiny i couldnt see really clearly), some were bigger, some smaller...

sometimes i wish my eyes could be like a camera, capturing what i see, and be able to transfer the photos to the hard disk and share with everyone else.

i was just thinking if i would see a shooting star, since there were so many stars around, when i saw sth falling..
i wasnt sure what it was, maybe my eyes were playing a trick on me?

but then i saw it again.

and again.

and again.

I SAW A TOTAL OF 4 SHOOTING STARS!!!!
in a mere... 15 mins of me sitting down near the window!

so lucky!

of course, i quickly made some wishes. hehehe.
myths or superstitions...
rather believe than to forgo the chances, isnt it?
