New Year's Eve [2011]

The London Fireworks Display

Here we are, starting a new year. It's weird how time passes by this fast. It seems as if I just finished my exams last week. But here I am in England, living what is supposed to be called "The dream".

This year didn't start well perfectly, having couple of obstacles and speed breakers just before the New Year's Eve. It wasn't exactly how I pictured my 2011 will be like. But we Man Up and overcome each and every obstacle that comes our way. That's the beauty of life right. Or maybe that's just me. That I stick to what I believe in, and I never let go of my dreams.

I started the New Year with no resolution, [Yes people no resolution. SO GET LOST!]. and well what I wished for in the New Year's eve is slowly happening. so yeah guess after all I am a lucky bastard.

Man. I didn't post this to talk about all this. I wanted to tell you guys about my New Year's Eve which I spent in London. So here it goes. The Story of How I ended Up Sleep-Drunk-Walking in The streets of London at 5 am in the morning.

The Road to Big Ben

So, I was really hesitant whether to go to London on New year's eve or stay here in Bournemouth. Eventually I decided that I should do it and go to London. Because it'll be one in a life time experiences and well, not everyday I will be in UK right? So I went in with my friend. we booked a coach ticket to London the next day at 12. and well the idea was to go to London, stay there for the fireworks, come back the next day on the first trip back to Bournemouth. Unluckily for us. the first Trip was at 10 in the morning. we took it. which meant we will be in the streets of London for quite some time.

So, I have this weird habit, before any important trip or event I can't sleep. It's either the excitement or the nervousness. So I didn't sleep the entire night. And at 9 am I was already at the bus station. Went to get me some supplies from the nearest supermarket. got some coke. water and snacks. enough stuff for the trip. and well ... not long enough we were already in the bus heading to London.

We arrived there around 3 p.m, First thing we did was look for toilet. yes, only torture in the whole trip was where to empty our containers. It was hard to find toilet seriously. I didn't mind paying for them ... but if only we could find them. So we went to this mall and had what is supposed to be our breakfast [fish pies]. and well then we started the hunt to find London Eye.

we went through interesting monuments in London. Buckingham palace. The little statue thingy with the angels and the Half naked men on it. that was fun. I even took a picture with the ass shown statue. that was even more fun. and by that time My Non-sleeping-super-drunk-without-drinking-anything-only-lack-of-sleeping-which-nobody-believes-me-and-think-i-was-drunk-because-I-had-Vodka effect was kicking. and well I started going hyper and loud and doing all sort of crazy poses and stupid faces and throwing lame jokes which my friend didn't understand [if only you were there bestie].

Buckingham Palace

So, we passed by the palace and went straight to the Big Ben Tower. and well we took a nice tour around the tower and the eye and the river. we basically took one huge round. It was getting dark already. So. we didn't know exactly where was the display going to be. as the place was still not that crowded. But we saw the people who are in charge of the fireworks and asked them where will it be. they said we are placing the fireworks on the eye now. you should be able to see the show from the other side of the river. So we went to the other side and saw all the people sitting on the stairs and it was funny. and well it was only 6p.m. which means 6 more hours to go. I said to my friend no way in hell we are waiting here let's go take another look around and check if there are any toilets.

So, to actually go to the toilet. I had to go to Macdonald's, and let me say this. It was a zoo. to go down the stairs. where the toilers are. you had to actually pay. so I paid for them ass milkers. and went down. The women's queue was all the way from the toilet until the stairs [judging from the fact that it take you guys forever to pee. ] and well the Men's queue was much shorter. I managed to go to the toilet right before bursting after that we decided to set on the bridge. and stay there and wait for the fireworks. It took forever I swear to god. and we froze there for 6 friggin hours sitting on the side-walk. conversing with people next to us. and well it was fun indeed.. at 8p.m I called my bestie to wish her a happy new year. But poor bastard was sleeping. [ma moshkela ma moshkela].

well. Finally the time has come. and the count down began. And we got 10 mins of awesome fireworks which I can't actually remember they lasted that long. It was awesome.

thaang.

after that. we were walking in the streets of London. Singing as loud as we can "We Are The Champions" couple of people joined us and started singing too. they were nice German Guys. and well one of them came with us in our awesome magical toilet hunting experience. and well we stayed walking in the streets for 2 hours. and the coach station will not open until 4a.m.

At 4a.m. [well I actually don't remember a thing after sitting outside the coach station talking about religion and stuff. it all went blank and all I remember I was in the coach. sitting next to god know who. and sleeping my ass of, good times good times]

and this was my fun New Year's experience which am sure non of you bothered even reading it. so yeah

Cheers -.-
