Guy Fawkes. What did you do? Did you achieve much?

Further to what I mentioned in my previous post I wonder how many ppl actually paid to watch the fireworks display? I didn't.

Friday night: Went out to play pool at Orange with Mia, Yan, Warren and Kenny. Met up with a new friend Nick. Some of us took off early for Margies as it was Nancy's birthday. Caught up with Yvonne and Janell there. Stayed till pretty late... 4.30am?

Saturday started at 3pm for me. Went to church at 6pm-7pm then me and Warren decided, after dinner, to try our luck if there really wasn't any fireworks at the Viaduct. We drove down to the end of Halsey St, near the Floating Pavillion.... and there it was.... silence. fuck. the only sound we heard was his stereo, playing Jay Chow's songs. lol. Jeng and Carol came along too. :)

Trying to take some boredom out of this evening, we set off for the wild wild West Auckland - Henderson to pick up May for another drinks session, at Metropolis Hotel. It was a pretty posh place. Not really my type but we left the place really early for The Met. Apparently Arron and Jo came along. Maybe we were too tired of this and left for supper. Didn't manage to join the crowd for Margies (again, yes you heard me. Margies again!)

Sunday started pretty early. It was full on. I woke up at 10.30am. Did my WOF till 1am. Went straight to my cuz Calvin's castle for bbq till 4pm, with Mia and Yan. Picked up May and Jacq before we headed to Mission Bay.

Mission Bay... I somehow gathered around 12 ppl to Mission Bay, hoping that there is a fireworks display. With all the cars swarming into Mission Bay, you can't deny that there's a fact that ppl are STILL hoping for a miracle, even though there wasn't any concrete notification about one?

We stayed on till 8pm at Bar Comida for coffee. (fuck the waitress. rot in hell. she's so grumpy and bitchy. don't ever go there ppl) it wasn't a good experience at all. ask me if u wanna know more.... haha.

Asked a police officer at Mission Bay:

Me: How's it going?
Police: .....
Me: (!!!) Will there be fireworks display tonight at Mission Bay?
Police: NO! (then stormed away with an angry face, holding his walkie talkie)
Me: (.... stunned.)

Well at least we can confirm that ppl who came to Mission Bay that night thought they could see something in fact it's just a hype:

At Burger King:
Me: Why are there so many ppl tonight at Mission Bay?
Crew: I don't know.
Me: Isn't there any fireworks tonight??
Crew: I don't think so.
Me: Then why are they still here?
Crew: They're the same as YOU.
.....

Fuck. What a bummer.

So in the end we went to Parnell Baths, meeting up with another group of friends who wanted to play with fireworks! haha!
It was awesome. though shortlived. But it's the best we Aucklanders could get. ....

I'm tired. Maybe we'll see some photos in the next post? or next week? or when i'm free? or when all photos are collected.

Till then...
