Travelling Blanket Going to UK (Part 6) ~ Road Trip : Finale

Okie, now we continue our story. Hehe.. The last stop was at Bets-wy Coed. After that, we’re heading to Chester. My family went to Chester in 2001, without me n Abg (my eldest bro). Yeah, they didn’t love me that much :P But all because I had to resit an examination paper! Bleerrgghh.. Ish.. I was in my Alpha year. So much of freedom, and I forgot how it feel to study hard. Haha.. Then, it hit me bad! Those were the only papers I failed in my life.


CHESTER

Ok, sambung citer. We arrived at Chester around 6-ish. It was cold alright! Our Travelodge - Chester Central Delamere Street, in the city centre. So, it is convenient to go to the market and the town. That nite, we just stayed in door, as we were worn out due to long journey from the North Wales to Chester.

The next day, as usual our brekkie time was at 7.30 am – 8am. Then, we went to the Chester market and then crossed to the city centre. Chester is a small town, that we didn’t sweat just walking around the town. Hehe. That’s because it was a breezy morning. In the city centre, there were shops lined up and there is this tower clock.

"The City Centre & Clock Tower"















Then, we went to the infamous remains of Roman Amphitheatre. Where they once had their deadly rituals and other ceremonies. You know, like the gladiator fight and stuffs. Hihi.. Then, we headed back to the city centre. Our moms already finished their shopping. Hehe.

BIRMINGHAM

We continue our journey to Birmingham, to go to the Cadbury World! Best! It was closed at 4pm, and we arrived at 3something. At first, I didn’t want to enter because it almost closing time. Oh, rupenya, it’s not the closing time at 4pm, it was the last show. So, I went in to the attraction with my family & Iman. Mamacik and Ted decided to stay outside. Huhu.. Ted, was tired doing the driving, and Mamacik didn’t feel like entering the place.

"The Entrance"











"The Cadbury World"















It was fun! Do you know why in every advertisement & Cadbury’s wrapper there are 1 full glass of milk and 1 half full glass of milk? Well, you could find it here! The Cadbury World is stated at Bourneville, where they started their business here and develop a town where all the residents were once worked with Cadbury factory. Oh! And we found a Proton factory/outlet here! J

BATH

After we had stuffed ourselves with chocolates, we continued our road trip to Bath. Here, we stayed at the Travelodge - Chippenham Leigh Delamere M4 Westbound. It was located at the Services (or in Msia we called R&R). And, there were actually Westbound & Eastbound. At first we went to the Eastbound due to the same coordinate given for GPS. Luckily they had inside road (jalan dalam hihi) to connect to the Westbound. Or else, we might have to find a u-turn. We stayed here for 2 nites. This was our last check point before heading to London on Sunday. J Hehe…


"The Travelodge - Bath"











It was by far the second best Travelodge we stayed. The first was in Tower Bridge, where we stayed the first nite. This Travelodge was near the Services, so we spent the nite hanging out at the Costa Café and went online. But, since there were limited power plug to charge the laptop battery, so we had to gilir2 online. Hehe..

As usual, the next morning after breakfast we went out. First we went to the famous Stonehenge~! Wahh… I love d sunny clear sky… Tapi jgn tertipu, coz it was stone cold! Hehe… Ok, for you who didn’t into history… Stonehenge is just a bunch of stones standing and forming like a building. But, we could not touch the stones. Dulu, memang boleh posing ala-ala Hindustan. After sometimes, there were bunch of idiots who stole the stones and make fortunes out of it, the UK govt decided to put a rope around the stones.

"The Stonehenge"















Haishhh… We were given a walkie-talkie-like radio where they explain about the history and there were check-point. But, we were busy taking picture, so it was only Papa who devoted to listen to the explanation and later he explain it to us… hehe… thanks Papa.. Ted, as usual didn’t entered together with the mommies. It was quite a far walking distance, so Mamas tak larat, it’s understood. Tambahan for my Mama she just not into history. Hehe.. Same goes with her menantu “Alah, takat batu.. kat mesia pun ade” :P Tsskkk… (T_T)

"The Stonehenge"















After that, we went to the Bath City. It was where they had the Roman Bath, Pump Room. Tempat orang Rome mandi suatu ketika dulu. I wanted to enter but the line was impossible. So, we just hang around. It was a nice city :)

"The Bath City"




























Then, we bought fish & chips and headed back to the hotel & chilling. That nite was our 2nd anniversary. :) He belanje me a hot latte from Costa J Yeay! The pressie came much earlier… Err.. ape eak.. lupe dah.. hehe… it’s the fossil wallet. And I gave him the MU- Chicarito jersey.


SWINDON & BICESTER VILLAGE

The next day, was our going back to London. On the way back, we stopped by the famous Swindon Branded Outlet and The Bicester Village. I might gone crazy but thinking that we had another week in London, managed to tame me down. Hehe.. Cuma rase terkilan coz I didn’t buy that fossil bracelet & Cath Kidston. At first, I was like.. Auww look at this.. eh, nnt jln dululah manelah tau dpt jumpe yang best ker. Hehe.. last2 tak beli.. :P Huuummmm… is Ruggii..


"The Bicester Village"















"The Swindon"















Pastu we went to the Oxford City. Mulanya nak carik tempat2 they shoot for Harry Potter (one of our mission to UK last year was to go to the HP places)… tapi sbb jalan nya agak sibuk, and we didn’t have the exact place, we couldn’t find it! Huhu… So, we just went to London. Sent the family to the apartment in Maida Vale (before the transport our family to Camden Town) we went to return the car back. Huhu.. Kesian Iman. She cried all the way sbb takut dengan driver who was an Arabian and she wanted me/Ted. Huhu…

Mase sampai je kat Camden Town, our family still waiting us at the outside! Man, it was freezing and they just arrived about 30mins before sbb driver sesat. Then, they couldn’t left either of the family Sebab keadaan sgt gelap and takut anything happened while the other went inside. We had like 10 of big luggage so u just imagine… Hehe…

Ok, cukup dulu. Next entry we’ll talk about Madamme Tussaud and Big Bus Tour. :)

I need to blog this...

Heheh... i need to blog this.


This morning, in Fly.fm there's a topic on "Nama Manje" or pet name for your beloved one.
Hehe.. the topic actually came out after a "fix it" segment, where a girl sent an entry to the radio station nagging about how her boyfriend only stored her name as actual name in his phone rather than "Sayang" "Darling" or "Baby". hahaha... sorry.. i just couldn't stop thinking "how old is this girl actually"

Yeah, sure we want to be special and treat as special person by our loved one. I'm like that too.. But to nag about it on a national radio station? Errghhh! i can imagine if Ted were the one who get the call from Prem & Hafiz telling that i'd sent an entry to them Ted didn't store my number & name as Baby. Hahahaha... I wudn't dare to come home...

Ok, sorry... enough bout that, maybe if i were in my 'teen'ages, or early twenty maybe.. maybe i wud think, oh so sweet.. hihih...

Ok, fine.. i still think it's cute.. haha.. That's why Ted were called Ted instead of his name in this blog/my fb. And i had a pet name for myself too.. "Sharona" :P hihi.. that was given by me.. as my "alias"..

Ted do call me pet name.. hehe.. sometimes he called me syg, or b, or mok :P but most of the time, he called me "You".. And if he wrote me a card, he won't even wrote my pet name. He wud either wrote my full name, My Wife or just leave it blank, with only his signature. Even if he sign with hug + kisses.. he would put Papa + baby Iman.. Hehe.. :P Before we married, he just wrote his name.. :P

I admit, i took it personally at first. "He might not love me that much, he didn't bother to write sweet things on the card". And i even confronted him (right after getting the card & pressie) Hehe.. And he told me, he took the card for a reason. For the words it wrote in the card. It just as what he meant to tell me. Yeah, he's romantic just like that. :P After a while, i gave up taking offense of this small matter. What he did to me in reality is what i should concern of. :)

And sometime, when we not expecting anything, he just did. Buying the same phone model as mine (after he lost our phones). Store my name as something else (Ngeee.. Senyum smp telinga).
Haha... Actually, i'm just like the girl :P the only different, i didn't have to take it to national radio for my husband to be that romantic. :P

Es Pee Ehm..

Hehe... SPM result is out today yo! Hehe... I have no relatives taking SPM this year... (i think so.. hmmm).. oh, my beautiful boss's son.. (Gud luck Puan :))


My youngest bro took it last year.. hehe... and will be fly off to US InsyaAllah this August..
I had no experience taking the result at my old skool... When the result was announce back at 2000, i was at Kolej Matrikulasi... So the feeling was different. We had to line up at the hall. Since they were not my school mates, i just can't feel the excitement, except that i was about to get the ultimate result.. And i think it was announce later than at school (nite kot) Haha.. Those days. :) However, i still remember, Papa had to take the result at my school on behalf of me.. Alhamdulillah, first grade with single aggregate... I remember feeling awesome.. haha...

I didn't have the chance to experience the excitement of accepting the awards at my school either, as it happened on the same day i was registering at MMU.. Aaahhh... double blerrgghh... I just want my parents to be proud of me standing at the stage receiving the gifts or whatever...

And sadly, i still did not manage to make my parents proud seeing me standing on the stage receiving awards.. Degree yeah during convo, but i was the normal students which only had like 2 seconds on the stages.. No Dean list awards.. :( Sorry Ma & Pa.. I promise i will make you proud in another way...

It already 12years after the spm.. huhu... *sigh* those days were great days.. i took the spm in boarding school. Ehem... i remember the prep.. stayed up at nite for revision dekat katil, but afraid of ghost.. hehe... I hadn't seen my x-schoolmate since the last day at school in '99. Hehe... Only those who entered the MMU together yang i jmp balik.. oh wait, i did get to see some of them during my wedding and our last outing together after spm.. hehe... Lili & che an.. yg lain.. luckily we have fb now i can get in touch with them, but still couldn't get to meet them... hehe...
Kelakar bile ingat balik.. i was a naughty girl at school.. Every weeks i would make up reason to get back home.. ade yang berjaya, ada yang tak.. my fav reason: sakit belakang... Hehe :P and if i weren't at home, every Sunday eve i will be at canteen with huda to watch power rangers.. at Form 5 yeah... :p

Lil Iman.. (Again..)

Ya Allah... when people tells you that kids copied whatever you did and said... Please Believe It!


Oh No! Last Sunday nite, my stomach felt uneasy, and angin satu badan (maybe the not-so-morning sickness) + i ate the jambu and ended up vomiting in the toilet. I didn't closed the door as Lil Iman is playing at the hall and worried that she might be scared been left alone... After a while (like 2 seconds, like that) i heard small foot steps.. Hehe so comel.. And of course her voice.. "Mii 'tah" (Mummy muntah) And she patiently watched me at the door...

And as i vomited (it's a lot... urrghh) i can hear a little voice vomiting as well.. macam bergema.. haha... She copied me!!! Or more like die mengejek me!! Hahaha... it's not just that... after finishing the business, cleaned myself and everything.. i found her standing near the wall.. bending over.. just like i was bending over d toilet... while repeating the sound!!! Huwaa... hehehe.. she's sooo cute!! hahaha.. Pandai ejek mummy eakkk...

Tu xmasuk lg, bila die tiru papa die batuk & amek in haler.. hehehe... isshhh.. mcm2.. I Miss Her every minutes! :) Alhamdulillah, i get the chance to watch her grow everyday... even though minus 9 hours+ in d office.. :( Nasib baik jarang kena stay back. Even if kena pun xde la smp kul 10pm.

Travelling Blanket Going to UK (Part 5) ~ Platform 9 3/4

Hehe... Since our road trip stories gonna eat half of this journal of TBUK (Travelling Blanket going to UK).. I decided to write this memoirs not in orderly manners... hahaha...


Biarla kan... So... after our road trip, we went back to London and spent 6 days at Camden Town... we're supposed to stay in Maida Vale apartment, but since there was issues with water, they transferred us to Camden Town... (this will be in later entry)..

The second day after our road trip, we got nothing on our itinerary... supposedly we went on Big Bus Tour.. But the parents were too tired from our road trip and Madamme Tussaud trip yesterday, they decided to stay in and let us the youngster enjoy our day...

Since we already in London... We decided to catch a train... To Hogwarts! Hehehe...
Naik tube from Camden Town to King's Cross St Pancras... The underground station was under construction for the London Olimpik 2012. So.. some of the platforms were either moved or closed down...

We searched across the station, and could not find the platform 9 3/4.
We'd printed the map, and just went to the direction where the platform supposed to be located.
Nasib baik ternampak signboard..
























Patutla pusing-pusing tak jumpa... Hehe...
We went to the platform... Yeayyy!!! Our train is next!

Bye-bye... See u in Hogwarts (or.. The next harry potter series (HP and the Travelling Blanket) :P
























Bye-bye cruel world! I'm not gonna miss you... :P
























Eh... silap... lupe bwk beg tadi... camne nak g school.. hahaha... :P
