Courage

I shall finish my Europe trip's posts since it almost 5months already. Hahaha.. Even though now I have nothing to do, but to finish an entry it takes so much courage to do. Sigh.

UK part III : Camera Obscura, Edinburgh, Scotland

I see me through you :D

Assalamualaikum, salam sejahteraaaa.. Kepada anda semua moga bahagia~~ Hehe.. Intro kasik nyanyi sket la :D How's your Ramadhan going so far? Ramadhan here in Egypt is a bit challenging for me because of it's hot weather in summer, plus the pre-internship program that we have to be involved. And I currently doing my HO training(wink) in ER which known as the busiest department all over the time. The doctors in that department are also rigid :D They won't allow us to go back early unless it is 5pm :| But I did escape sometime though :D..

Okay lah. Did you guys aware of my picture above? :D :D Well, that was me in Camera Obscura, Edinburgh, Scotland. We went to Edinburgh on April 8th at 11pm and arrived in St. Andrew bus station around 8.15am. However, the 8hours journey fade away just like that as we had this for our breakfast. Tee Heee :D

HOMEMADE NASI LOMAK

Looked so yummy aye? Nom nom nom.. Such a great starter of the day. Hee

Entrance to Camera Obscura and World of Illusion.

• A camera obscura (meaning literally "darkened chamber") is a device for projecting an image on a screen, using either a lens or pinhole.

History of Camera Obscura :

• The first record of the camera obscura principle goes back to Ancient Greece, when Aristotle noticed how light passing through a small hole into a darkened room produces an image on the wall opposite, during a partial eclipse of the sun.  However, it may be much older than that.  Stone age man may have used the principle of the camera obscura to produce the world's first art in cave drawings.
• Later on, in the 10th Century, the Arabian scholar Al Hassan used the camera obscura to demonstrate how light travels in straight lines.  In the 13th Century, the camera obscura was used by astronomers to view the sun.
• In Victorian times, much larger public camera obscuras became popular seaside attractions, where spying on courting couples became a popular pastime.

There was 10% less for student price. We reached to this place by walking. Pfffftttt... It was soooooo tiring to the max you know as we had to climb all our way up to the Camera Obscura because it is located on the top of the hill. Nasib baik tak tergolek ke belakang balik sebab perut dah berat dengan Nasi Lemak. Heshhh.. Ini semua gara2 pakcik bus tu la yang told us, " There's no bus going to Obscura. You can just walk along that road and within 5minutes you'll reach there" IT WASN'T 5MINUTES Y'ALL BESIDES THERE WAS ACTUALLY A BUS GOING NEAR TO THAT PLACE. Haiiyyyooo.. 

The hell. Cakap banyak gambar takda kan. Haha.. Let's troll peeps.!

Sampai2 terus naik tingkat 5. Why? Because Camera Obscura will be starting soon. :D

But not as soon as we thought. Haihh..

So, let's enjoy the rooftop panoramas' first :)

Teropong

Ngeh ngeh ngeh :D

Around 915 am, Camera obscura is operating. This what we saw inside the room. Actually this picture is not mine. I took it from a website(credit to Edinburgh's Camera Obscura website) Am sorry for the watermark -_-

UK part II : Thorpe Park

Are you an adrenaline junkie? Love to ride all the rides in the theme park? If you're the one then let's be my teammate.! Hahhahaa. Atiyyah also that type of person but she's a lil bit less crazy than me. I mean, my level of obsession to these activities is superb.! Hahaha.. It's the truth. I loveeeeeeeeeeeeeee every single ride that provided in the park. The more extreme the ride is, the happier I am. Hohoho.. 

Thus, Atiyyah booked 2 tickets for us to 'melempias' our 'nafsu' towards these crazy rides at Thorpe Park. And unfortunately, we made the booking in Saturday plus it was Easter holiday too.! Geezzzz.. Double holidays in a day thus the people there will be double too. Haihh..

So, as early as 7am we went to station and headed to London Waterloo Station. And from there, the train will straight to Staines Station, which is the nearest station to Thorpe Park. And there will a coaster to pick us up to reach the park. While we were in the train, we saw lots of kids, yeah, even teens looked were so excited. I said to Atiyyah "Tiya, ramainye budak2 dalam train ni. Dorang mesti nak pergi Thorpe Park jugak"  Hell yes dude.! When we arrived there, there were bunch of kids/teens/parents waiting for a coaster just like us.! Oh Emm Gee.! We thought we weren't gonna make it to the park. But alhamdulillah, we made it. Hewhewhew..

But, .............................

AS WE EXPECTED. 5minutes later, the queue was even longer than this. Hahaha.. The 'abang2' worker had to ask the people to queue like a snake. Lebih kurang macam W shape la. Hahaha

Toink toink. We were almost there. Weee *excited mood activated*

I missed this park so much. I wish I can come here again. Huwaaaaaaaaa :((

• Thorpe Park, stylised "THORPE PARK", is a theme park in Chertsey, Surrey, England, UK

View some of the rides

This is our first ride.

• The Swarm, a Wing Coaster that opened on 15 March 2012. It is themed as an apocalyptic destruction. 
• A new ride in the park. Dan kami antara orang pertama yg merasmikannya. Hohoho..
• I give 3.5 stars to it. I waited for about 1 hour meh to ride this one. Pffttt..

Colossus

• Then we tried Colossus
• Colossus, an Intamin multi-looping roller-coaster with a record breaking 10 inversions.

Colossus. The best roller coaster I ever ride. Thumbs up. 5 stars

 

 

Then this one. Looks simple and ain't scary aye? But the truth, it is f***ing scary like hell. I felt like I was going to fall down when I was at the top. *cried*

After playing and waiting, we were so hungry. We found our spot and ate fried rice that we cooked at home *saving mode* plus this little donuts. Yummyy

Then... Hahahaha.. We were so impatiently to try this one, the Saw ride. Have you heard bout Saw movie? Alaa.. Scary movies tu. They implies the story in here. Jeng jeng jenggg..

Tis is from outside. Saje nak bagi gerun lettewww

Huaaaarrrghhhh..

• SAW - The Ride, a Gerstlauer Euro-Fighter themed around the Saw franchise.

Relieved. Hoyeahhh

Then to the Saw Alive. As for me, it was nothing that scary like the ride. But Atiyyah screamed her heart out in there. Hehee..

I.didn't.try.this. For the sake not to let my digested fried rice 'bertaburan' on the floor. Hahaha.. *rugi nye tak jumpa ni dulu sblm melantak. Haihh*

We rode this one among the last rides. It was Spring y'all. Still cold you know., plus water = furreeezinggg

:D

• Tidal Wave, a 'Shoot the chutes' water ride.

Backstage.

At the top.

Splash.!!!

Depth Charge. Awesome 4-lane super slide

It's side view

No way out

• X:\ No Way Out, an enclosed rollercoaster that travels backwards through the dark.Themed as being trapped in a computer virus.
• We waited like half an hour for this because there was a passenger before us poked inside the seat. Hahhaha.. And the worker had to clean it up.

Best best.

•  Nemesis Inferno, a Bolliger & Mabillard inverted roller coaster featuring interlocking corkscrews and a pre-lift section themed around a volcano. It is the sister of Alton Towers' Nemesis.
• Fucking thrill mehh. 8 stars.!

A ride for kidz. Not us. :D

I....can't remember what was that actually -_-

I also rode Detonator, it's like a solero in  Sunway Lagoon but it much more awesome. And Atiyyah didn't dare to ride that one. Hehehe.. It's one of my favorite so far.

And this one too. Top first in my favorite lists.

• Stealth, a launched roller coaster which accelerates to 80 miles per hour (130 km/h) in approximately 1.8 seconds.
• Yes. Stealth. I fucking love this one. I dare to ride twice or even thrice for this. You can't even breath or blink your eyes while this thing is moving. So fast like hell. Seriously I told you. 
• I asked Atiyyah to ride this one for the second time but when it was our turn to go, Atiyyah had second thought bout it and she just sat aside, watched me screaming. Hahaha..

I enjoyed all the extreme rides in Thorpe Park. From 9.30am till 6pm. I surely wanna go to this park again. Yes. I want to go again. Guess I didn't have it enough back then because of the crowds. Haihh.. And not during holiday or in winter season as I can play water rides many times I want without afraid of being frozen after that. Hahahaha..


Who wants to go with me? Raise your hand and saving your money from now on.! Hahaha.!


Oh yeah, before I forget, here's the website of this park : Thorpe Park
