NYE

We came quite late at 9 p.m and had no hope to get through the gates to come closer to the water-front. This view was our last hope. 

We stood there for 3 hours to wait for the midnight fireworks. As time got closer to midnight, the crowd started to get chaotic. Some aggressive men tried to push the gate. The situation looked no different from political strikes. 

Not all people accepted the situation.

Finally there came the rock show.

People began to leave Circular Quay, but the whole CBD was still packed 

Fireworks came all around us, both the harbour and the high-rise buildings

Me and Eva, the new housemate

Gangnam-style at a large corner in CBD

stylish urbanizens heading to clubs and pubs

Queuing in lines for another hour to catch the rite bus to get home. 

At this time of the year, there are so many travellers staying Eastern suburbs of Sydney. That's why the lines  for bus 392, 394 and 396 were the longest.

An lucky night trip

I followed a mate to EVENTS cinema to buy tickets for a movie. We still had 45 minutes til showtime, so we head to QVB (Queen Victoria Building) hanging out there enjoy the fabulous ambient of one the oldest department store in Sydney. QVB reminded me of the Eden Mall of Saigon. But Eden was destroyed for a new-but-in-old-style department store. Still fabulous though.

I love details and I could find a lot of gorgeous decorative details here

Then we head back to EVENTs to enjoy the not-so-excellent "Paranormal activity 4". However, it worked well making audience nervous during the showtime. It was early to end a night out when the movie ended so we walked to Darling Harbour just to find a place to sit down. There seeing people were gathering around the harbour, we recognized that there would be firework. We were so lucky!

Me on Pyrmont bridge, before leaving Darling Harbour to Circular Quay. Yep, another long walk haha.

Hunter Connection, like the name of the boy "Hunter" in Paranormal Activity 4

It was just time people started to clubbing.

Finally sat down at Circular Quay, with some McDonald chips and coke.
