Weee~

Went to watch the fireworks display yesterday night, my folks came along too, they were near where the live band was playing though. Haha and poor me had to brave the 'people mountain people sea' to get to the '5th lamp-post' on the bridge (that's where Ru, Yu, Turb, Moldy, Huiyun) were parked at. Haha please DON'T EVER arrive anytime later than 7pm if you want a good spot and not get all sweaty and mucky just to get to that good spot yeah? Take that from a very experienced fireworks-watcher. LOL.

Man when you're stuck in a slow-moving crowd (man a snail could have overtaken us in a FLASH), you have all the sights, sounds and SMELL all for yourself. Can you imagine there were families who brought along their babies!?! And aunties who're well over the middle-age mark grabbing onto their handbags and saying "Skew me, skew me..." to this crowd of young people who never seem to hear them? Haha hey you gotta salute these brave ladies for doing that at their age! I'll prolly break a bone or two just to get to that 5th lamp-post. Thank god Moldy called out for me! Otherwise...I'd have walked all the way to the other end of the bridge.

Well, the fireworks was pretty awesome, and they featured the very cliche colors: Red, White, gold and sprinkles of green here and there (not that it mattered since the green is projected as white on my 'trusty' handphone). Haha I loved the finale, where this gold sprinkles came boom boom boom and they were all over the place, and for a moment you'd think you actually went to heaven. LOL okay I'm guilty of a lil exaggeration, but hey it was pretty much it. I love fireworks, makes me feel like a kid all over again. Well, cuz they look like fairy dust, not that I've actually seen fairy dust in reality, but that's what they show in movies. They were so pretty, like the fairy dust on Tinkerbell in Peter Pan! I loved the way they burst high into the air and then descend real slowly back to earth again and fades off slowly, ahhh so pretty.

It isn't as good or as magnificent or as colorful as the previous year's but the finale is well worth all the pushing and shoving amongst the crowd(yeah much like a rugby match). And this time they even have Kit Chan and other songs playing in the background. Well, if you have time you can check them out:

Hoo~ I'm thinking of getting a part-time job during the weekends, but it's pretty tough looking for a weekend job. Anyone has any lobangs please tell me!!! The idea of my folks supporting me through Uni education...makes me feel a lil guilty. Hmm and I'll need to get a printer too, or I can get a thumbdrive, save all the shiat and print them all in school, maximise the usage of ALL school resources. Haha I'm a scrooge! And a happy one at that! LOL.

So Shimmy if you're reading this can you print out the HW101 stuff for me??? Haha thanks I'll give you a treat! Deal? Haha
