London Trip on New Year Eve


Yeah, its time to write down this crazy trip before i forget..
I keep repeating on previous post and to all my families and friends about this crazy trip..
And i'm repeating it again now..=.=
I'm sorry to repeat the same word over and over again but it was the fact that this trip was REALLY CRAZY!!!
Why did i say crazy?
Here we go...

31/12/2011
We woke up early in the morning about 6.30 am and get ready to leave at 7.30..
We've waited for bus like for 20 mins and there's no bus so walked across to the rushlme area with our luggage to take other bus to the train station..
Lets skip to where we reached london..
We reach there around 10.30 am and managed to check into our hotel...
After everything settled down..
me and sara decided to go to the madame tussauds in baker street while jane and her mom wants to go shopping (as usual..) in oxford street...
Unfortunately, madame tussauds was so freaking crowded!!
We actually have to push and grab the freaking wax to take picture with it..
it was like competing with other visitors..
Its kinda funny though and one of the crazies experience..lolx
I'm completely no mood to grab and take picture with all the waxes they have there...
I just took some of it..
Anyway, as long as i managed to get a picture with my favorite vampire - Edward Cullen its enough for me^^

After madame tussaud, we went to oxford street to meet jane and her mom..
As expected, the street was crowded and much more people than in the city of Manchester..
I can see why its crowded.. because of the crazy sales and millions of shops..
Its new year eve though.. people not gonna stay home..
Anyway, first crime scene happened on the street where while me and sara are walking to find selfridges to meet jane and we heard a bang sound..
When i looked at the way of the sound came i saw a few of cops and chasing a man..
And some of the passerby started to chase the man.. i was like WTH??
I've no idea whats happening at that moment..
And people started to stop and gathered to look around...
We just stop for a few seconds and continued to find selfridges..
The crime was still a mystery..

After found jane and her mom, we decided to head back to out hotel room and get some rest before we go to for the countdown..
We took some pictures in the room and fixed our make up..
Around 6pm, we took the underground to embankment for the countdown...
Once we reached there, omfg!! we was amazed by the scenery of the river thame...
we walked along the river and get to the bridge where we can see the fireworks during the countdown..
The frenziness start at 8pm.. the crowd is increasing and there's no way to move even a little finger..
Jane then told us that she want to leave the bridge and move to other place where we can still see the fireworks cause she said her mom's back was in pained..
We then decided to move to the other side of the bridge..
Went through the crowd on the bridge was insane..
Second crime scene happen where people are pushing each other to walk on the bridge and there is a lady keep shouting to the guy in front of me that her child was being pushed..
i guess the indian guy in front of me accidentally pushed her child..
anyway, the guy was actually drunk and i guess his hand was accidentally pulled the lady handbag which made the lady misunderstood that the guy was gonna grab her handbag..
The lady was so brave and she straight away hit that indian guy face in front of me..
her hand was 1mm near my face..
and then the fight begin where people around beat each other to help them...
omg.. i'm so lucky to have sara by my side where she pulled me off the fight..
after we get to the end of the bridge, we was so shocked that the police had closed the entire road..
They don't even allowed us to get out of the bridge..
one of the officer told us a bad news that the other side of the bridge was the only way to get off..
so means that we have to get through the crowd all over again..
this time, everyone were drunk..
to get to the other side of the bridge was the longer journey i've ever had..
it was actually 5 mins walk without the crowd..
anyway, third crime scene happened when we're in the middle of the crowd and a man not far from me suddenly use the beer bottle to get into fight with other guy..
based on their insulting each other conversation, 
i guess is because of a woman...
it was so dangerous where they use glass bottle to fight..
uurgghh.. i'm getting tired to write the whole story down..
it was just 50% finish of the craziness..

anyway, i'm gonna stop here..
for further of the story just come and ask me face to face..
all i can say is i cant believe that sooo many things can happen in 1 day...

Continue to update on 13/6/2012
*It's so funny that i've read through my post and i found out that i just stop half way of this story. Still remember that my cousin was like shouting at me that she never see anyone write half story in a blog before.. Fortunately, i still remember all the incidents very clearly. So here it goes...*


After the third crime scenes, we managed to get to the other side of the bridge.. During the so called "journey" to pass through the crowd was unbelievable!!
I was crying in the middle of the crowed after i saw the third crime where there are more people started to get crazy and started to fight..
There is this one stupid morron just shout at me and holding his bottle and he was like few mm away from my face.. I started to cry when a bunch of drunken pushed me and made me fall..
Well, not completely fall down as there is a kind man who hold me and ask"are you ok?"^^
Anyway, sara and jane tried to calm me down as i was crying so badly..*i know it sound stupid and how useless i am, but trust me it was right to cry out loud*
After i get myself calm, Jane said that she and her mom is skipping the countdown and fireworks..
I was like "WTH!! after all we've been through?? just gonna give up like that???"
So they really determined to head back and we found an exit for them to go back to our hotel which we had to ask around the policemen where can they get public transport in the middle of the crowded city..
After me and sara sent them to the exit, we head back to the crowd to wait for the fireworks..
We found a place where is not really crowded and still a nice place to see the fireworks..
Waited there for 1 and a half hour...
Oh yeah, with RAINING!!
I was wondering could'nt it be any worst and there's another scene where a drunken guy keep teasing other people.. he was so drunk that even policemen had to involve to get him out of that place...
After waited and waited..
3,2,1
BOOM~ BOOM~ BOOM~
There it goes... The most beautiful scenery of fireworks i've ever seen...
Still clearly in my head how gorgeous it was...
After 10 or 15 minutes, it ends..
And there's where 2012 had started..
It was worth it to went through all of those shits to see the fireworks actually..
After that we went back to hotel, which we had to go through all frenziness and craziness of drunken crowd..


The next day, it was raining the whole day and four of us just walk around London with our umbrella..
Oh yeah, we get to see the parade too^^
It was a crazy trip but worth it...:)
