A trip to Europe

in the airport, we were greeted by kak Zubaidah, a Malay permanent resident in UK. she is about 40+ and her Malay was very good. She is from Johor Bahru and migrated to UK 20 years ago..all her childrens was born here and she is a single mum..she took us by train and brought us to her apartment in ChurchStreet Water road a community place for Muslim in London. Her apartment was quite small but it was very comfortable, really :). i took this advantage to see london from the train's window...it is different from Malaysia..london sgt sejuk dan sgt bersih..the ppl is very polite to each other and the guys are very GOOD LOOKING :) extreamly,i mean

she introduce her mum which we called Umi...an old lady who resides in london for almost 30 years..she was a cook which serves food for malaysian students yg belajar kat sini.lepas husband dia meninggal, dia buat bisness penginapan org malaysia yg pergi ke london...mcm kami ni

hehehehe...she made us an excellent dinner..ikan salmon masak curry yg xpernah jumpe di Malaysia..sedappp.. we were so hungry sampaikan bole habis lauk2 yg dia masak..after that we went to relax ourself leaving my mum and aunty talking to umi..old ppl talking..i cant interrupt hehehe

the next day, umi introduced us to mak engku..he (i know it sounds inappropriate-but whateva) took us out sight-seeing in London for a day!! mcm2 tempat kami pergi including the famous eye of london, london bridge, buckingham palace, parliament house, oxford street and many more..ramai gak org melayu dok situ..student,kerja, and permanent resident..we went every paces by bus...the original 100-year old double decker bus..lol temperature masa tu is 16-18 degree sejuk gak la..we had our lunch near the river (xingat ape nama river tu) tp dekat dgn eye of London..after that we went to the famous Harrod..tempat tu sume mahal nak mampos!! infront of the building, ade more than 20 flags from different country..the flags show countries yg kaya2 kt dunia ni..unfortunately..malaysia flag xde..hahahahahaha..meaning??? lu fikirla sendiri..

lepas tu kami pergi buckingham palace tempat queen tggal..gah istana tu we took photograph and we went to another palace, tempat keluarga diraja britain yg lain tinggal..kawasan istana tu (ape tah name xingat lagi >.<'')..and i saw the hottest butlers!! keje dorang serving da royale family but they r super hot!! mak engku ckp nk jadi butler ni kelayakan mcm nak jadi model gak la..laki tu kene hensem,perfect height,weigth ect..ect.. sebab tu la ade je golongan bangsawan (yg pompuan la) buat hal dgn dorang (phm2 jelah) hehehehehe....we were not allowed to take the pictures of them sebb rules is rules..hahahahaha.

penat jalan2, (shopping sikit je :/ huhu) kami pon balik la apartment..hmmm penat tp best..cuaca sejuk dan mat saleh yg ramai buat diri rase mcm standard dgn dorang..kami pulang kepada negara yg menjajah msia..lepas makan, kami solat dan tido....
