PEW BOOM BOOM BOOM

the fireworks was awesome. like awesome awesome. it's the first time im seeing fireworks this up close, even though we were still a few miles away from the actual location where the fireworks were set off. they had some really cool ones, like heart shaped fireworks, rings, falling stars and globules. most of the fireworks were in white blue or red. damn nice.

we almost spent the evening at the wrong beach until some lifeguard told us we couldnt see the fireworks at the santa monica part of venice beach. in the end we had to walk 15 mins down the road to the marina del rey area. but i think it was well worth the effort cos the fireworks were really bloody good. back at home i've never bothered to catch the ones during national day. dont know why im suddenly so interested.

the beach was damn bloody cold. everyone else was shivering and chattering and shaking frmo the sea breeze. i think it was something like 17 to 18 deg celsius. but it was still worth it cos the fireworks were really bloody good. and there were all these random people trying to set off random fireworks around us. some succeeded, but there were more failed attempts than isuccessful ones. confirm some people got hurt from the fail ones.

the journey back was a nightmare. there was this really bad jam from the beach to something like 1 or 2 miles up. and there was no bus service and we couldnt find any big blue bus bus stops. so in the end we had to brave the night breeze and trek for something like 30 mins before we got to the first big blue bus bus stop. halfway thorugh we went to this pizzeria and got a freaking big pizza cos we overestimated ourselves. and the pizza had the works, which means there was pepperoni, ham, cheese, capsicum, artichokes, olives and tomatoes on it. we were like o: when we saw the pizza. but that was the best pizza i've had so far, so no complains there. when we reached there we found out that the bus wasnt in operation at that particular bus stop cos of the 4th july parade. so after a while we decided to call for a cab, which means we'll be paying something like 15 each. but heng a big blue bus lady came in her car and told us bus services were resuming, so we were like, yay no need to pay 15 bucks.

halfway through the ride back we found out that the bus wont be going back to westwood and we had to transfer buses, and everyone on board the bus were damn sian. in the end we reached the apartment at something like 1230am. which is also the latest time we had dinner so far. so basically the pizza doesnt really ocunt as dinner anymore, it was more like supper for us. anyway this is the first time (and hopefully the last time) we got back to the apartment from outside westwood. it's quite an experience. america has quite a lot of siao people, those you'll definitely want to siam when you see them. not safe to be out too late.

now im like typing this while half awake. im going to finish the little bit of mountain dew left in front of me before i go sleep.
