A Giant Shooting Star Over Sri Hartamas.


I still find it hard to believe what I saw. I saw a most beautiful shooting star. One which I never saw before even though I have seen like 2 or 3 in my entire 48 years of my life. And these were the 'normal' ones when they shoot right above you under a starry black night sky.

We were on the LDP driving to The Curve to continue our office Christmas Party at the Red Box. The view was spectacular with lights coming from the many rooms of high rise condos and houses, silhouettes of podium office blocks plus street lights against a backdrop of dark, dark sky.

And then I saw it! It was indescribable! This one was a big fat one. Fire-y orange-yellow with an obvious red head shooting from right to left. It lasted for a split second! But I saw it with the details of the colours. It was definintely as Star! Shooting right across and above the buildings against the night sky. I mean right above! Not like the usual high up in the sky. This one felt so near, so close-up. Even as I am writing this, I find the whole experience incredulous. Simply awesome. Totally. All I could say to my husband was "Did you see it?" (Yeah how could he when he was driving).

I know deep down that it was meant for me and me alone coz just minutes ago, I mean maybe less than 2 when I was said this to Jon, "Son, it's been a long time since I last wanted proof that you are with me. I no longer need it coz I just know you are."

And then I saw it! I cannot share this beautiful star coz I did not, and could not take pictures of it. It was private viewing.

When I shared this with Summer, she asked if I made a wish. I said no coz all I could think of what was it real, and saying out loud to myself, 'Thank you Jon. I love it! I love you'.

No, you don't need to believe me coz it is not important if you do or not. I am still reeling in my experience of the shooting star.

Jon is great. God is great too!
