Wax Experience at Madame Tussauds London

I may be back from my Euro trip, but there is still so much things to talk about. Hope you don’t get bored. =)

During my stay in London, I visited the famous wax museum – Madame Tussauds.

I find it weird that such interesting museum has such a funny name, but after reading through the history I learned that it was named after the founder, Marie Tussaud.

The entrance fee costs ₤25.00 (RM140.00) for an adult and I think it’s worth the wax-staring experience. However, the queue might not be pleasant during the visit.

It can take up to an hour to reach the ticketing counter from the entrance.

While waiting, there are some interesting stuff demonstrated along the way. For example…

Brad Pitt’s waxed ass.

I wonder how much he get paid for this. Actually, I don’t mind getting my ass waxed for just 10% of the payment.

After a long boring wait, got the ticket and it’s time to see some wax!

John Travolta, Morgan Freeman and Justin Timberlake’s wax figures are obviously expected, since they are so famous.

For your information, the figures are segregated into different zones, such as A-List Party, Sports Zone, Music Megastars and World Leaders. A visit could take up to more than an hour.

It was fun taking pictures with the celebrity figures! So here are some of the wax celebrities I took with.

The ever charming David and Victoria Beckham. Nice red dress.

madame tussauds london brad pitt and angelina jolie

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. I guess the museum management has to separate these wax figures. They broke up right?

Anyway, nice red dress as well.

Christina Aguilera with her beautiful necklace.

madame tussauds london nicole kidman johnny depp

Nicole Kidman and Johnny Depp. Nicole is really tall, and yeah, another beautiful red dress.

This is Kate Moss. Never heard of her actually. Nice golden attire though.

madame tussauds london miley cyrus hannah montana

Miley Cyrus aka Hannah Montana. I was looking at her outfit and innocently I saw a bra beneath the top. I thought celebrities don’t wear bras.

madame tussauds london britney spears

Britney Spears with her MTV award. I was looking at the award.

madame tussauds london queen elizabeth

It was such an honour to be standing beside Queen Elizabeth. I didn’t dare to stare at the badges on her sash though. People might mistakenly think I wanna steal those badges, or look at her boobs.

After I’m done with the ladies, it’s the men’s turn.

madame tussauds london george clooney

Dinner with paralyzed George Clooney – I had to lift the glass for him.

madame tussauds london robert downey jr

Robert Downey Jr. Don’t let the Sherlock Holmes find me!

madame tussauds london shrek

Big fat green Shrek. It’s too irresistible to hug his huge tummy!

madame tussauds london jose mourinho

Was lucky to bump into Jose Mourinho in the museum, instead of the stadium. Since I’m already the boss of Manchester United and Liverpool, I had to give him a piece of my mind.

madame tussauds london barack obama office

Barack Obama. He was my Vice President while I was temporary President of United States of America. He was really a good assistant, no wonder he’s the President now. I’m proud of you, Obama.

Anyway, at the end of the exhibition, there’s a Chamber of Horrors and Scream. It’s the horror section of Madame Tussauds, which showcases serial killers and murders.

The Scream experience, on the other hand, is a live-action scare maze. It’s a journey with several live-actors (serial killers) trying to scare you. I went in as bold as a lion. I think. =P

Okay, before I end, I know you’re gonna say that I’m a pervert coz of the “staring” I did on the ladies. Hey no, I was wax-staring okay… Not boob-staring – if that’s what you wanted to say. I’m a good boy!

But if you still wanna say Ken Wooi is a pervert and he stares at boobs, take a look at this…

wax candle

Hey, you stared at boobs too! Pervert!

Why Ladies Think Apple’s iPad Sucks

The number one reason why ladies think Apple’s latest product – the iPad – sucks:

Because it doesn’t suck!

It’s just too over-sized to be used!

Goodbye Europe!

I can still recall the journey from KLIA to London. It was my first trip to Europe and I was filled with so much excitement!

sunset from plane

50 days ago, my flight touched down in Heathrow Airport. At that time, I felt that it’s a still loooonnng way to go till the day I’m flying back. But hey, 50 days have passed and it’s time to get my ass back to Malaysia.

While reading through the comments – some thought I’m here to study. Some even thought I found a job here! How I wish! But the fact it, I’m just traveling. I gotta thank my parents for giving me this chance to come to Europe.

I couldn’t have asked for more.

luggage bags

I can still vividly remember the days I’m here. Things went quite slow in the beginning but in glimpse, time is up.

Anyway, I would like to recap the places I’ve been to during this trip. First of all, Leeds.

leeds parkinson building

I stayed in Leeds for most of the time. It’s the place where my friends are staying. If I were to stay in a hotel throughout this trip, I wouldn’t have stayed so long. Expensive leh!

The only place around Leeds that attracted me was the Harewood House.

leeds harewood

I find the place very beautiful and amazing.

Then, it was Paris! Bonjour!

paris eiffel tower

It was fun to be there, but definitely not romantic at all. Probably due to the lack of friendliness of some French people I’ve encountered.

But if you’re a pervert arts lover, there are lots of nudity when you visit the museums over there. ;)

Then I managed to visit Disneyland for the very first time. The Paris one to be exact.

paris disneyland snow

Kids are surely to love this place but I think I’m already too old for such excitement.

After Paris, I stayed in London for a while.

london big ben

London is an interesting city. If I have the chance, I’ll bring my parents here in the future!

Besides the famous attractions I’ve mentioned in my London entry, I also visited 2 well-known stadiums. Firstly, Stamford Bridge.

chelsea carlo ancelotti

And I became a Chelsea player. Carlo Ancelotti thinks I’m talented and signed me up as a professional footballer.

Emirates Stadium was on the visit list as well.

arsenal emirates stadium

It was already closed when I got there. Never mind actually.

Then I flew over to Dublin, Ireland.

dublin liffey river

The city is not as magnificent as London and Paris, but it’s always interesting to explore a whole new city!

dublin guinness pint

If you love Guinness, Dublin is the place you should be.

Next on the list was Liverpool.

liverpool anfield stadium

Visited Anfield Stadium.

liverpool new manager

And became the new manager of Liverpool. Didn’t you know Rafa Benitez was sacked to make way for Ken Wooi? The team is currently happy with the change. Just look at the smiles on Gerrard, Torres and Carragher.

Then I went to Manchester as well.

manchester old trafford stadium

Visited Old Trafford.

manchester united new manager

And became the new boss of Manchester United. For your information, Alex Ferguson used to sit at that particular seat during home matches.

My last destination, sadly, was York. It’s a small town about 30 minutes from Leeds by train.

york city walls

I haven’t had the time to blog about York yet. But this is the York City Walls – it was built around the town centuries ago.

Anyway, being here got me exposed to different lifestyles and cultures. I’m starting to love this place and sometimes dream of living here for the rest of my life. It’s the first time I experienced snow as well!

thick snow

The weather is so cool and I rarely find myself sweating. Now I’m looking forward to the temperature-shock when I get back to Malaysia. It has always been less than 5° Celsius everyday here in UK whereas Malaysia is like 30° Celsius. Huge difference!

You know what – I’m so used to the cold weather, I think I can stay in the fridge when I’m back.

To be honest, it’s quite saddening to go back.

thai sad face

If you’re reading this entry moments after it’s published, I’m already on my way to London. Will be catching a flight soon to Dubai, and then to Malaysia. Sighs, I just wish that this day will never come.

Nevertheless, it was certainly a great experience. I’m really glad I had this opportunity. Goodbye Europe! Malaysia, I’m coming home! =)
