 WHERE AM I ? -  Image below is my neighborhood viewed  from Space.  
The block I stay is marked as a red 'X' - 12th floor up. The blue 'O' is my opposite block with TV antennae, tiny round dots nearby are the 7 water tanks.  Mandai Tekong park ( TMPark) is just  a few minutes walk away.   The 'Court' is where I did my Geminids watching before.  WRPS is my kids' primary school. BS is a  bus stop.

Ground level look - Feb 05 2006 so you can appreciate the satellite imaging resolution

  Mandai Tekong Park and the Court  4 storey car park CP - candidate site for all sky remote camera
 Water tanks on top all the HDB buildings. Note the twin 'red' lights on upper left that used to affect my sensitive ccd.  Now they are switched off forever. Marked as blue color 'O' in the sat map. 'Z' shaped sheltered marked BS in the satellite map.
My meteor detection ccd/lens operated from this window most of the clear nights 12 storey up! Another veiw of the 'BS' - noted the grass-less patch visible in sat map.
