fiReWoRks!!!

Me with the breathtaking fireworks!~ ^^

Another long day in Glasgow...nothing much was really 'happening' in the city up till the first Thursday in November. And to many of us, 5th of Nov isn't any special day unless it's your own birth date right?? Haha... But not in Glasgow! or any other part of UK!

It's quite a huge event and many people approx. 18 thousand people attended it. Many would walk to designated areas ( ours located at Glasgow Green )just to watch the fireworks. Anyway, this event/ day is called Guy Fawkes Night, a.k.a Bonfire Night and there's a story behind it...a weird and funny one I would say hehe...so if u're interested just Google it!

We set out at 5.00pm ( like 8pm in m'sia ..so yea..its dark) and at the same time enjoyed the night view of cars, shops and buildings..=.= ( nothing to do ma)

Ready to go! But wait, one group pic before we leave JBC~


* The clock tower *

Standing between these 2 policemen made me so TINY!
One of them even let me wear his hat!! How cool is he!

It was slightly different from what i thought it would be..there were some small 'funzone' for kids obviously ..a tiny amusement park and also some food stalls just for us to fill our tummies with before the event starts.

The Kid's Zone XD


And FOOD!!!

Munching all the way~

Noodle Bar prices ranging from 4-7 pounds

I love this picture the most! Gave me a very warm feeling ^^

Me strangling Kelvin due to boredom XD

Failed to do what he intended and ended up getting his butt burnt!

Not long after... and EXACTLY at 7.30pm sharp, the beautiful, scenic, exquisite..and other words u can find exploded in the dark sky! Loud music bombing in the air with synchronizes with the fireworks was really amazing indeed...speechless, also laughter, cheers can be heard from every single angle as well. Mostly all of us were like zombies at the first few minutes, admiring the lovely fireworks with our mouths opened. ( I still think that Malaysia have nicer and more style/design of fireworks )
Lots of people!!!

The Fireworks begins!


And after 20 minutes, the event ended and tat was it! Everyone started walking back and the most surprising part is that they closed up the roads so that we could walk on actual roads back to ...wherever we came from. It was a great experience..as if the city had just been bombed and everyone had to walk on the streets filled with people and no cars! OK...better stop here~~
