The Geminids, one of the most spectacular meteor showers, reaches its annual maximum around December 13. Unfortunately the maximum coincides with a full phase of the moon this year, severely hampering optical observations because of the poor darkness of the sky. Observers are nevertheless encouraged to submit their data for analysis. Meteor rates obtained under full moon conditions still teach us more about the activity of this shower than having no data at all.

Click the first option, use IE or chrome. Press play, wait for it to load for around 60 seconds. It should be static, with occasional "whistles" which signifies echo, and other weird sounds too.
Alternatively, ride down to Changi and witness the meteor showers at around 7am ~ 8am range.
