London

30/8
London =D..Tak sangka da sampai london, the capital city of england~..hihi..excited?yes!..ngee.. it took me several hours untuk digest that i was in England back then..england~~..kalau kecik2 dulu dengar word 'England' je dah ---> wowwww..England~ tak sangka dah besar ni boleh menjejakkan kaki kat sini.alhamdulillah..^^
London Bridge.
London.
A very busy city,and orangnya always seems to be in a hurry.This is what 'london' to me.
Tepat jam 8pagi we arrived in London Luton airport, took an Easybus (that we booked previously online) and safely arrived in Earls court.

Pintu masuk Malaysian Hall
Dari Earls Court to Malaysian Hall, we walk. Walk and walk and walk and finally after around 30 minutes walk sampaila kat Queenborough Terrace. Jumpa malaysian hall akhirnya..yeay!!..;D to be honest, the hall was not like what i have back in mind at all..Zen zen no..>.< i'm imagining a whole new hotel-like building with our Jalur gemilang flag berkibar megah ditiup angin, disambut dengan receptonist yang anggun berbaju tradisional dgn senyuman manis bersopan santun. demo nei~..all my hopes runtuh jatuh menyembah bumi. crushed! hancur berkecai..T.T..nothing!..zen zen..zero..no..illek~..nothing like that al all..kuciwa~oh well, that's what you get when imagining things tanpa google.huhu

Checked in.;D
Moving on, first day in london.
Dalam capsule..
We went to the famous highly most anticipated London eye..yeay~..naik london eye ni konon2 nak view the vast city of london...tapi honestly?bosan~..other than tangkap2 gambar and berdiri dalam capsule tu, there's nothing much to do. So, to you yang in the future nk pegi london, you can skip this..tak yah naik pun tak rugi..(muka serious)..huhu..
Right after naik capsule, we went to a 4D room to watch a 4-minute movie about the city of london. Ni jauh~~lagi menarik..sebabnye? 4D!!..;D

On the way down
parlimen building mungkin?
view from the sky..
A part of london.
Next stop, we went to the london bridge exhibition..ni best!seyes best..you can see all sorts of bridges from all over the world, the unique designs and the creativity and the awesome ideas from architects (and engineers too) dari serata dunia..this is why i like architect..hihi..ade kaitan ke?..;p oh, lupa nk cakap..on the way to the london bridge exhibition tu, we were approach by a man yang thought we were from iran or saudi arabia ..he was very disturbing and hitting around the bush..i don't know what he was trying to get to but eventually got yelled by diana..hehe..serve you right..tetibe approach orang nak condemn..saba je la..

Atas london bridge
London bridge exhibition..Quite interesting place to visit.^^ esp to those yang took engineering and architecture course..if a pharmacist student like us 5 found it quite enjoyable, can't imagine what joy would it bring to those yang amek engineering kan?..^^

This is the real one.
Ni model die..^^
London day-2
Stonehenge!..The stonehendge..ataupun also known as the Hanged stone, dalam bahase melayu nye batu yang tergantung?tak paham jugak kenape dipanggil batu yang digantung..tak nampak macam kena gantung pun kan..huhu..
stonehenge.
So, stonehenge trip took about one an a half hours from the bus station. we took a tour (sebb lagi senang). Tempat stonehenge ni sangat jauh n terpencil. Tinggalan sejarah la katekan--> British Heritage...that's what written kat brochure die..XD..Quite amazing place walaupun hanya batu yang disusun2..hihi..batu ni nampak sangat besar. Ktorang tak tahu la berape besar batu ni sbb tak bley tengok dekat2..there's a barrier set up around the stone. Limited access. ='( Cuaca hari itu..sejukk..sejuk sesejuk sejuknya..rasa cam nk beku tangan..jauh lagi sejuk dari glasgow..>.<

Side by side dengan pamplet.
Balik dari stonehenge..ktorang pegi museum..yep, ktorang memang peminat no 1 museum..pegi mane2 tempat pun mesti kena masuk museum..pegi edin masuk museum..kat glasgow masuk museum..sebabnye?entrance free~~..hehehehe..tapi kat turkey ngn greece tak masuk la plak sebb kena tak free..hihi..

T-rex~menakutkan..

Polar bear~..menakutkan..huhu
Selain dinosour, banyak jugak binatang2 lain yang dah pupus di exhibit kan dekat museum ni ..yang da nk pupus macam polar bear kat atas ni pun ade jugak..

Rangka binatang..lagi menakutkan..XD
Museum yang ktorang masuk ni is called National Museum. Time ktorang masuk ni tgh ade dinosour exhibition tapi there's a few section closed. Walaupon a few sections closed, ktorang tak sempat nk cover all the other sections yang tak ditutup tu..sbb museum tu agak besar..Seriously we had fun..best!..tgk dinosour and sebut2 nama2 dorang yang pelik2 tuh..reading the facts, knowing their history and evolution..sambil-sambil teringat cerita2 dinosour yang selalu tgk kat tv time kecik-kecik dulu..^^

Swan dengn swan jadian?..hehe
Gula2 yg jual dekat museum..;D

Lepas masuk museum, menuju pulang ke malaysian hall~..cam biasa, carik dinner dekat sekitar queenborough terrace tuh..luckily kawasan tu macam small city jugak and kedai berderet2..so, tak susah la nk carik makan..tinggal halal ke tak ke..huhu

Ce teka sape.
London day- 3
Hari ketiga kat london, jumpa abang putra, kak aqmal and twins~~..the twins were kawaiiii...cute tahap angkasa...keoptaaa..<3 khairunnisa n khairunnajah..najah kakak, nisa' adik..comel budak berdua ni..^^..we had our lunch kat rumah abang putra before went to see syahril.. banyak date hari tuh..huhu..

Najah dengan masyitah.
Syahril bawak ktorang pegi stadium Chelsea.. tak tahu sape yang minat team chelsea nih..mungkin diana..tapi ktorang ikut je la sbb takde mende nk wat time tu..huhu..right after, ktorng pegi chinatown yang dikatakan one of the tourist attraction kat london. seriously macam kat negara China..dah tak payah pegi negara China dah..datang ctu je da dapat feeling China..huhu..datang ctu nk carik dinner sebenarnya but disebbkan syubhah n macam sesak je orang, ktorang end up having our dinner dekat Bonda Cafe~..

Hello Edinburgh~

28/8/2012
Almost 3 weeks ago kan tarikh ni but still nk buat entry jugak..jgn marah ye..hehe
entry ini dibuat khas untuk someone that is very dear to us..

Jajang~.. 
Say hi..;D

Budak kecik ni sampai glasgow on 27/7/2012 which is a day before ktorang pegi edinburgh..semangat nk pegi edin la ni..hehe..anis datang glasgow untuk visit us 5. jauh datang dari malaysia-belfast-glasgow semata2 nak jumpa ktorang..terharu.. ye kan anis nk jumpe ktorang kan.. bukan sbb nk datang edin kan?..hehe

We went to edinburgh by bus. return ticket about £10 la lebih kurang. Kebetulan time tu (august) ade edinburgh festival. kebanyakan tour at that time free of charge. so, ktorang berenam mengambil la kesempatan ini untuk join tour free nih. 
Ber background kan bus edinburgh version lame.. 

Our tour started pukul 11am.So before 11am da kene ada kat sana..from here to edin took about 1 and a half hours. so we decided to take a 8.30am bus, meaning pkl 8am tu da kena start tutup tingkap, kunci pintu bilik dan start berjalan kaki ke tempat bus. awal kan?..huhu


Selamat pagi edinburghh..sejuk!..>.<
Sampai edin lebih kurang pukul 10 lebih macam tuh.Edin sangat sejuk..tak tipu..sangatttt sejukkk..menggigil2 time duduk kat station bus tu, terpaksa menuju ke 'mesin gedegang' utk beli air..mesin gedegang = vending machine..hee..i bought hot mocha kot that morning..tetengah masukkan coins dalam machine tuh, ade la sorang pak cik ni tegur ktorang? 

pak cik : Hi.
peah n me : Hello.^^
pak cik : Filiphines?
ktorang: (O.o)...oh, no2.. we are from Malaysia..;)

mane datangnye rupa filipino kat muka ktorang ni..mungkin pak cik ni konfius sbb sume asians pon nampak lebih kurang je kat mata omputih ni. macam dorang jugak..boleh tak kite bezakan orang scottish dgn orang england n german?perancis?sume nmpk same je kan...pakcik ni bley tahan lagi..ni ade ke pak cik kat turkey ni (ni time pegi turkey aritu) cakap ktorang dari Jamaicaaa??..(+.+)..adoi pak cikkk...(>.<) orang jamaica ade ke kulit sawo matang cam ktorang nih..(eceh, budget cerah la kan..XD) hoho..

Tour tickets.
Alan in red shirts.

Moving on, 10minutes to 11 ktorang da smpy kat meeting point utk tour tu. Our tour guide, Alan in charge utk group ktorang. Alan ni sgt la hyper and the way he explaining kejadian2 and history2 yang berlaku dekat edinburgh ni sangat menarik dan kelakar. He tried several times utk buat lawak tapi sbb ktorang and group member ktorang yang lain yg mostly german tak berapa nk dpt tangkap apemende yg die cube smpainye,hanya mampu gelak sikit2 je..huhu..>.<..yang kurang menariknya die cakap tu laju sangat..dah la sejarah plak tuh dicampur dengan nama2 orang yang tak penah dengar sebelum nih..lagi la blur..mungkin kalo kita belajar kat scotland dari primary school akan tahu la sikit2 sapa orang yg die cakapkan..hurmm..

Anyhow, edinburgh is a very interesting city, nk cari makan pun senang cause memang banyak kedai yang ade tanda 'halal' kat cni..Cerita2 yang Alan cerita time tour tu pun sangat menarik. Banyak cerita-cerita yang macam cerita time zaman jepun dulu..orang-orang edin time dulu2 agak kejam jugak sebenarnye..huhu..menakutkan~~..Let see..

Gold toe.
1st pic, the monument of someone said to be the wisest person (tak hengat la namenye sape..poor memory >.<) nampak tak ade tangan dekat kaki monument tu? Tangan tu tegang rub the patung's toe..(oh my english..uhuk2..) Dipendekkan cerita, the toe which is made out of gold, are said to bring good luck and sesiapa yang rub the monument's toe akan jadi wiser sedikit. Sound ridiculous aite? Bukan sound je, da memang terang tang tang la mendalah tu merepek..Ade ke sapu patung nye kaki je bley jadi wise? sape la orang yang bertanggungjawab yang menyebarkan fahaman sesat lagi menyesatkan nih..haih~..(=.=)

The Lady's house.
 2nd pic, Some lady's house.seriusly tak ingat amende yang Alan tu cakap pasal rumah ni and the lady's name..tapi rumah ni ade la sejarah die tersendiri.hurmm..moving on..
Nampak tak tulisan kat batu tu?
 Gambar ketiga..gambar ni ditangkap sebab nmpk menarik..takde ape2 significant pun sebebarnya and Alan pon tak cakap apa2 pasal patung nih..huhu.. Patung pigeon ni letaknya in front of the Lady 's hosue tuh..

stadium and castle
 Nampak banyak2 bendera tuh?That is the stadium and next to the stadium adalah castle yang sekarang ni dah jadi museum. We didn't have the time to enter and discover the castle.teringin nak masuk.mungkin next time?

interessstingggg..exciteddddd..;DD
 This building is the most interesting buiding for me..hihi.. wanna know why?sebab~~nampak tak tingkap tuh? that was the window that JK Rowling used to see through. There was where Harry Potter began. Kat situ la JK Rowling selalu duduk and the first Harry Potter book was born here~..woot2..;D
The elephant house menu~
Front view of the elephant house.;D

The prison entrance.
This was one of the place that you shouldn't go once its dark outside..huuu..sounds scary kan~~ bangunan yang berpintu gerbang itu adalah penjara~~..penjara without bumbung yang digunakan oleh salah seorang yang kejam pada zaman dahulu utk menyeksa orang2 yang tak ikut cakapnya. The prisoners were left sehelai sepinggang, barely given food and to be exposed to the extreme weather of scotland. Bayangkanla winter and autumn without food and baju..sejuk..;( memang kejam la orang yang seksa dorang nih. But eventually the prisoners berjaya diselamatkan oleh seorang hero rasenya. People believed that the prison is haunted by the evil person's spirit. >.< Banyak cerita menakutkan dan kejam kat edinburgh ni. siap ade ghost tour plak waktu malam..menakutkan. Luckily budak2 ni tak suka tgk cite hantu and so, we didn't go for that..kalau tak, ade nanti ramai2 tdo kat hall..XD

National Library of Scotland
 This is the National Library  of Scotland. macam menarik kan and semestinya beratus ribu buku ada dalam nih. Tapi ktorang tak masuk plak..huhu 

Bobby's grave
Bobby si anjing.
Restaurant yang dinamakan sempena bobby's name.

These 3 pictures adalah mengenai seekor anjing yang sangat loyal terhadap tuannye. Its master was a guard. Anjing ni namanya bobby and he always accompanied his master masa tuannya on duty. When his master died, bobby become very sad. Disebabkan bobby adalah anjing, die tak bley masuk tmpt master die ditanam, jadi, die pun tunggu la tuannya kat luar tempat master die ditanam days and night tak berganjak sampaikan people yang kenal bobby and his master selalu bawakkan makanan untuk bobby. anjing ni penah la nk ditangkap oleh pihak penguasa pada satu masa sebb takde tuannya, kiranya status anjing liar la kan tapi orang2 sekeliling siap buat petition lagi suruh bebaskan bobby nih. At the end, bile bobby died, people make the grave for him (nmpk tak kale batu bata merah tuh) tapi that is not where it is buried, cuma tanda peringatan kot. anjing ni siap ade tugu sendiri lagi. Macam cerita novel tak?huhu.. credit to Alan..

interesting huh? 
coffee2..;D
Jam diperbuat dari bunga2..jam ni bergerak tau..;D seyes!..
The tour last about 3hours. After that, ktorang had lunch dekat satu kedai pakistan ni..mula-mula hajatnya nk makan kat The Mosque Kitchen sebab abang anis recommend restaurant ni tapi we end up makan kat tempat lain..huhu

The first Mosque Kitchen we found.
The original Mosque Kitchen.
Lunch~
Nasi byk sangat nih...lagu mana nih..>.<
Afterwards, pegi semayang zohor and tiba-tiba lepas smyg zohor tuh terserempak dengan ex-senior ktorang kat IMUdulu-->karim. seyesly tak dapat cam pon..mungkin sbb tak berapa nk kenal dia kot..Anis je yang kenal dia rasenye sebab~~..sebab ape eh anis?..hehehhe..<kontroversi nih>..;p

Nasi arab die memang terbaek la..
Moving on~..luch pon sudah, smyg pon sudah.,pastu tak tau nk wat ape dah. Hihi..Bila terserempak ngn karem tu, die suruh ktorang pegi naik Calton Hill which was agak jauh la jugak dari tmpt ktorang berdiri time tuh tapi sebb die insist jugak ktorang suruh pegi, ktorang pon pegi la..and it was worth it!..^^

On the way to Calton Hill..jgn tertipu dgn signboard kat belakang tuh..jauh lagi perjalanan~..
One of the nice building we spotted on the way up..
Nampak tak akt belakang tu?nmpak kecik kan?
Nampak same kecik ngn peah je..huhu 
Nampak lebih kurang same ngn yana?
Lebih kurang tinggi masyitah?

Sebenarnye..This is the REAL sizeeeee..besar gajah takkk..>.<
Balik dari edinburgh tuh masing2 carik katil..penat kot..seharian berjalan dari pagi smpy malam..around 9pm jugak la ktorang sampai sbb amek bus pkl 7.30pm. 


Esoknya tak pegi mana..pegi jalan kat city je..memula beria nk pegi bawak anis pegi jalan2 kat sana sini around glasgow..tapi masing keluar bilik lambat..sori anis..(T.T)..we were being so selfish..penat anis datang dari jauh..(>.<)..nanti ktorang pegi belfast kt p jalan sama2 keh..
