4 July.

Independence day came and gone.

i was so looking forward to 4 july cuz i heard cedarpoint will be super busy and alot of pple will wear like shirts with flags or like the national colours. but it was a little bit disappointing.

1. there were so little pple at the park. there were no lines at where i work so i was sent to help out at another place which had lines but i think it was the only place in the park that had lines. and i even heard this lady say (when i was queuing to use the restroom) that the toilet line is the only line in the park yesterday. how sad. hm..

2. tot everyone.. well almost everyone would wear something american but not really.. like i see the supervisors wearing ties with american flag print. and some girls had like red, white n blue ribbons on their hair.. and that's abt it! i even bought a pair of earrings jus for 4 july but i'm damn stupid la. forgot to wear. haha! :p

but then there was the fireworks. and it lasted for freaking 20 mins la.. it's super super long.. and it was quite awesome. i cant imagine. the fireworks at cedarpoint is already 20 mins long.. imagine the amount of money they spent and what other places might spend.. i mean like they're national stadium or something leh? it's crazy.. really crazy.

oh oh.. and i won the lottery. i bought this lottery: scratch n win thing from the supermarket the other day when i was waiting for the cab with lionel and when we got bored. and the lottery only cost me a dollar.. haha. and i won!!! a whole DOLLAR!! ( that is if i go online n register and all) haaaa.. damn funny la. but i decided i wunt bother la. all the trouble for one dollar.. haha.. but it was funny.

i'm jus talking to lek now and he's saying that i seem to be having fun here. it's true i guess. i have alot of freedom here. not from work la. work is crazily uptight and inflexible. but i mean if i wanna go to a pub or a gay club i can la. like my dad is not here to nag or something. but it also means i have to be that much more responsible for what i decide to do here la. haha.. anyway, i guess it's jus a differet kind of fun, like what i tell lek. at home, i have fun being with friends n all. enjoying the security and the familiarity at home. but here, i guess i enjoy doing things i wanna do. new things n crazy things that i can do. like if i wanna go shop for groceries at night, i can. if i wanna watch a movie i can. if i wanna hang out n drink with pple, i can jus go to lionel's room n drink with the guys n girls.. and it's different. i mean i'm not good with socialising but when i do get to know pple. i enjoy that. it's that kinda fun. it's hard to put it to words. but yup.

i've been really lazy so i haven been taking photos or taking the rides. i have 3 and a half more weeks till m contract ends. i will certainly miss this place. i miss the thais that left. i miss nokyoong. i miss working with her. and i think i will miss the taiwanese. i think i am getting to talk to them more. and they are really nice girls.
