The Fourth of July is right here, outside my window, at the Harvard Bridge! Sparkling, Cheerful and extraordinary Awesome !
For a whole day, I stayed in MacGregor to rest and waited for the firework show tonight on Charles River. I planned to run at 7h30 am, cook breakfast for my group at 9h45... and I woke up at 11am... the whole morning was gone thank to the god-damn phone! Yesterday I already set the alarm, and put in on the table. Why on earth it was under my bed, and turned off in the morning? Maybe I was so tired... the movie Transformers last night was still jumping in my head... What’s a movie! I'm looking forward to Transformers 2, which would be ...never launched , according to my buddy's opinion.
Anyway, I still cooked breakfast for me, Edmund and Teddy. Then we did laundry, went to student center to buy stuffs, and came back to ... cook lunch. Guess what did we eat in both meals? Instant noodle, eggs, vegetable, sausage and mushroom. Not so bad for such poor students like us right ? After the lunch, I locked myself in the room and do some coding. Yep, coding again... Until 6pm, Bruce came back from Star Market with his spaghetti. He went into the kitchen and cooked dinner for 6 of us. Yummy, his spaghetti was cheap and delicious, only 1$ per person.
Dinner finished! Let’s walk to the Harvard Bridge to find a good view! Tonight had rain, a bit cold, windy. But we all really excited. Flying over 15000 km to here and see the firework behind a window is a waste! We want to really enjoy the show, to feel the atmosphere by our own perception, and to share the happiness with all American nearby. Yes, this is the day America was born! This is their mother land's birthday.
The rain and strong on the bridge were really great! It reminded me of New Year celebration in my hometown. There are something fresh, something new for everyone. Oops, it was getting colder and colder, we had to come back to our dorm to change clothes, get umbrella and drink hot milo. We were all like wet rats running around... really funny! On the bridge, ambulance and police cars were ready for emergency situation...
Here are some good shots!
The firework is absolutely genius! It goes so well with the songs. It lasts for more than 20 mins. Unfortunately my camera's memory card is full in the middle of the show, I cannot record the entire show. But my friend did.
Well, portraiting the beauty of firework with my broken English is the most idiot thing to do ever, so I better post the clips here and stop talking . I decide to put the videos taken by my friend Jing Ying too, her video quality is good!
Here is the first clip:

Here is link to the clip that I took. (I'm a bad camera-man, and a terrible video editor, so pls dont blame me ...)

Transformers is a 2007 live action film based on the Transformers franchise.

Michael Bay was convinced by executive producer Steven Spielberg to direct the film despite not being a fan of the series, to make his first family film. Armed with an enormous marketing campaign including comics, toys and tie-in deals, Transformers premiered on June 12, 2007 and opened in the United States on July 2, 2007.
Who say working is boring and stressful ? We don't think so! Not at all ! Let's my teammates show it to you!
They have never learnt to dance before. Here is their first try, how fascinating to see them dancing like this!
And this is the second try. I like this most, they are really confident. The music is fun also. Totally awesome! I should encourage them to dance more!
