夏天的故事

夏天的开始，我们加入了这个CBI大家庭。

 

 

起初，大家都很陌生，很冷淡，毕竟在不熟悉的地方，也做不了什么。我还记得那时侯大家都在努力争取开工的机会，因为手头上的现金很难在Chatham这个昂贵的地方挨下去。没有开工的日子，几乎是天天都很开心的，学煮饭，到处逛逛，好像在度假一样，超悠闲的。

 

 

 

直到开工了，认识了不同国家的朋友，但还是存有防备之心，好像很难掺得熟那样。

 

不过在一起的时间久了，笑话多了，渐渐的这份友情建立起来了。

 

我们天天见面，一天比一天深的感情也由此而生。我们天天见面，朋友好像变成家人一样，不再有防备之心，任何人offday都会开始想念他/她了。

 

我们从客套的问候，到每天互相戏弄，互相嘲笑，冷漠的态度也渐渐消失了。

 

我们一起经历了最繁忙的时期，一起经历了风雨，一起吃饭，一起去海边嬉戏。

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

我们的这份友谊刚刚稳固了，可是偏偏时间就飞得那么快，残酷地让朋友们一个接一个的离开了。

 

虽然快乐的时间很短，不过已足以让我铭记于心，记得每一张由陌生变熟悉的脸孔，记得每张照片背后的快乐故事。

 

我真的很开心能够认识到你们，和你们相处这三个多月。虽然我们最后得分离，回到大家各自原本的生活，不过不必说，我们的脚印会永远留在每个人的回忆里。对吗？:) 再见了，朋友。保持联络哦！

 

Provincetown Carnival 2011

Provincetown, MA is famous as the town that widely accept homosexual or gay and lesbians. Provincetown will hold an annual event, which is Provincetown Carnival every year which includes parade, parties, and many more. This year, Provincetown Carnival was held on 18th August 2011 at the Commerical Street of Provincetown. Many gays and lesbians all over USA and some from France came here to join this once a year Big Carnival.

I took 3 hours to travel to Provincetown and only enjoyed the Carnival for 1 hour because I have to rush on the last bus back to Chatham. I believe it’ll be more exciting if I got the chance to stay longer at the Carnival! It’s worth the effort to go to the event! Truly nice experience!


Here’s how the crowd is, not even night time yet.

When I reached Provincetown, I was so surprised to see people sit and stand on rooftop to watch the parade, this is how crowded it is that day. Did you notice, almost all are topless and wearing underwear only? ;)

Due to transportation problem, I have no choice but to catch up the last bus from Provincetown back to Chatham. I heard from my friend, he said after the parade, there’s a party on the beach. There’s a platform built on the beach, and people, most are gays just go up to ‘have fun’. I can’t imagine how big is the platform, because I was told that around 3000 people are on the platform, squeezing each other while enjoying themselves up there.

Besides that, he told me that it’s normal for those gays to show their penis to others and touch others’ penis. I can’t imagine how embarrass I will be if I saw those ‘beautiful’ scene. That’s their culture! ;)

With my limited one hour, I tried my best to hunt for nice shots in the parade. Despite working hard on nice shots, I still enjoyed being there, enjoyed and amazed on their special culture and colourful street decoration and creative costumes. It’s just too common to see strong and muscular men wearing high heels and only underwear on the street that day.

Here’s my favourite photos of the event, enjoy!

For More photos, just visit my flickr.

I think photos are not enough to justify how amazing the parade is, so let’s have some video clips to let you really feel the fun there!

That’s all! Provincetown Carnival 2011! 

oh yeah, Grilling!

After we started working in CBI, with morning shift, afternoon shift and night shift, we seldom have the chance to have most of us at home. On one evening, by coincidence, we get to have the rare chance to gather most of us together to have a small grilling party.

With some last minutes planning, we manage to decide to make a grill party and so we went to buy foods, beverage and drinks immediately.   

Chicken wings~

Let’s grill!

here we are, at our backyard having fun with the grilling pit.

Enjoying tasty grill bacon!

Priceless moment it was!

Time Flies. Another month of work, then we’ll continue travelling again.

Off Day!

Yesterday was my precious off day, once a week! Initially I asked to work on my off day as well, but too bad, CBI is cutting cost, so no extra hours/working days for me. But nvm, I told myself to enjoy this precious off day and I did.

Early in the morning, woke up at 7 without alarm clock ringing, this is very normal to me because on my working days, I will wake at 5. So 7 is already considered as bonus sleeping hour. Slowly after tidy up, getting ready, ate my breakfast slowly, and I departed to Cape Cod Mall at 10am.

This tiny flower caught my attention and so, It’s captured by my trusty ‘eye’

Do you like it?

Next, I saw this weird looking, looks fake flower.

To go to Cape Cod Mall, first I need to take Hyannis to Orleans Line till Hyannis Transportation Centre(HTC), then change to Barnstable Villager line to Cape Cod Mall. The whole duration is about 2 hours. Cape Cod Mall is quite a big shopping complex with varies fashion stores and has a food court that serves quite a lot of asian cuisine. So when I reach there at 1, I went to the Cinema, call ‘Regal Cinema’ to check out Harry Potter 7′s schedule and price of the movie. It was US$7.50 for 2D version but US$11 for 3D version. The popcorn here is expensive, it cost around the same price as the movie ticket. So I just bought myself a 1.15 HP7 movie ticket and yeah, can’t wait to enjoy my first movie in the state. Ending of Harry Potter!

Fortunately, the auditorium for my session faced some technical problem on sounds system, so we’re compensate with 3D movie instead of 2D. Yeah! I watched in 3D for 2D price! =D Although I didn’t watch the first part of deathly Hallows, but the second part is still awesome like always. 5 stars for HP7! :)

After my movie, I’m super hungry, so here I go to the food Court to have my late lunch at 4pm. This thai cuisine attracted me with its spicy and tasty thai food, add on I’m hungry like hell, I didn’t wait for any longer to get my US$6 2 dish thai food! What I get for the dishes? one is mango chicken, and one is thai chicken, both are nice! Feels so good to enjoy such spicy food after 2 months in America. American hardly eat spicy foods and that’s why, chili sauce is very very rare here. Hmm~! yum yum for the thai food!

After satisfying my stomach, I get going to look around, find some clothes or anything for myself. I only manage to get in Macy’s to look around for clothes, but due to time constrain, I couldn’t get anything in the end, But I’m sure I will come back to Cape Cod Mall to shop when I got other free day :)

What’s these 2 cards? One is Macy’s cool membership card, so in love with the creative jeans design card.  And the other Card? Oh! it’s the chatham public library membership card! After I get this card, I can motivate myself to read more books when I’m free, and do some research for coming travel plans.

So, that’s my off day! Enjoyed it very much! :)
