Pagi-pagi..dalam kul 9 kami ke pasar. Dekat saje 5 minit jalan kaki. Nak kata pasar pun bukan jugak sebab macam2 ada..Baju2, pekakas rumah, sabun la.. All in One! Plus the vegetables were sooo fresh and green. Crunchy and yummy. 
Later..we went to the Harrods.It was the last day for summer sales. Orang punye lah ramai. Sesak napas tau...Tapi banyak yang best2 dah licin. Ada lah tinggal saki baki yang mampu di rembat. Yang tak mampu, langsung tak berani jenguk tau! 
Lepas bersesak kat dalam Harrods tu kami ke Yo! Sushi...Wah..hati sangat gumbira, akhirnye kepingin makan Jepun dapat direalisasikan. I like!!! Berkaler-kaler dan bermangkok-mangkok la dapat di settle kan oleh kedua belah family  . Janji enjoy dan kenyang. Dalam pada tu mamy dok tanye je org yg tengah prepare sushi tu ...dalam ni ada ape.. yg tu plak ada ape..iyelahkan berhati-hati... 
Day 10
Kami ke carboot..dekat area Chelsea...iye ke? Yantie sile betulkan.. Orang pun ramai.. cuaca plak very hot and sunny..memang kena pandai carik la.. dapat buku cerita Khairyn yang ada bunyi2 la..A-Z la..Barney and Bob the builder semua dalam satu - dua pound je.. Buleh la buat main-main budak-budak kan... Oh ya...dapat satu Thomas train yang ada driver lagi, dalam 20pence!! Balik je kami bersihkan then Khairyn enjoy main train tu...
Petang tu kami prepared some food for our guests for dinner. Mr. Amal's big boss also hubby's big boss la.. Masak simple tapi sedap ek Yantie...hahaha...Kasi masuk bakul angkat sendiri la sekali sekala..

Old Trafford - Stoke-On-Trent
|
|
Day 8
Now its my turn!! MUFC!!!!!!!!!!! sangat seronok dapat ke Old Trafford Stadium. Sangat besar dan cantik.. Before that we slept at Travelodge Manchester Sportcity. Outskirt sket, tapi lebih tenang berbanding Travelodge Birmingham. I found out this Travelodge very affordable (watch out for their GBP19/nite) and comfortable. http://www.travelodge.co.uk/
After check-out we headed to the Old Trafford. This was the second time for Amal's. So I lah yang ter'over' excited. We went into their MU shop..goshhh... tergugat imanku. tapi kena bijak berbelanje jugak lah kan.. ada jersey for ladies agak mahal which was around 43pound. So beli t-shirt yang lain laaa.. since kena beli lebih sket. My elder brother is MUFC unlike my youngest brother, dia geng ngan suamiku itu.. 
Lepas dady kopak, kiteorang terus ke Restoran Ning tapi bukak pukul enam petang daa..  takde rezeki la. Then we headed to Jati Restaurant. Suke sangat la, sebab owner Melayu dan masakan Melayu+Thai!!! ape lagi...pilih saje, kari ayam, kari daging, gulai ayam, nasi goreng udang...perghhh!!! sedap habis la.. berpuas hati sangat. I highly recommend this restaurant to all of you. http://www.jatirestaurant.co.uk/ Happy trying.
Dah kenyang perut dan menyusun cara yang terbaik untuk bonet kete yang sudah sarat (tapi masih ada ruang kan ), kami ke Stoke-On-Trent, yang terkenal dengan bandar pinggan mangkuk la. Jemput singgah ye kawan-kawan http://www.visitstoke.co.uk/. Tapi kami hanya sempat singgah di Wedgwood dan Port Meirion Factory Outlet sahaja. Barang yang best2 (yang affordable sebenarnya) banyak dah licin tapi Alhamdulilah..dapat jugak rembat sepinggan dua. .
Dah penat-penat semua, trus balik ke Maida Vale. Ops..singgah ke Nando's tapau dinner. Then we all zzzzz........

Anfield - Albert Dock - Cheshire Oaks
|
|
Day 7
LIVERPOOL!!!!!! not!..My other half is a die-hard fan of Liverpool FC. Not me! But this entry is specially dedicated to my beloved best friend, partner and husband. Alhamdullilah, he finally arrived in the Anfield Stadium. Sukenye orang itu, sampai semua benda dia tak record! sebab sibuk baca Liverpool history mory. .
After that we went to the Albert Dock, kawasan tepi port. Sangat ramai tourists ok, Kiteorang lepak makan nasi lemak dengan tiupan angin yang kuat! dah la sejuk, angin lagi.. so far i was the only one worn jacket. Yang lain maintain jer. Saya tak tahan sejuk!  Then jalan-jalan, snap-snap. It is a place I wanna pay another visit. Best la..
Later, CHESHIRE OAKS FACTORY OUTLET!!  another relaxing therapy. More shops and much affordable compared to the Bicester Village. We were there until the shops closed! Rembatan kali ini lebih puas.
~ Two happy faces+worry face..., jangan marah ye Amal....

Queen Anne - Thomasland - Haziman's
|
|
Day 6
Ok...next destination...Birmingham. Mr. Amal and family had joined us for the next three days trip. Earlier that day Yantie and I had prepared some basic necessities for our next journey. We packed nasi goreng, onion rings and baked potatoes. Senang sket la bile je lapar bleh benti makan.
We went to the Queen Anne factory first. Ikutkan dari Maida Vale akan jumpe Thomasland dulu. Tapi takut lama kat Thomasland, kang tutup laks QA tu..melepas plak kang.  Mula-mula bile sampai tempat yang di tuju, dengan bantuan tom-tom (GPS), kami tibe dekat area gudang-gudang dan kilang-kilang. Hahaha...ingatkan salah tempat!  Rupenye betul... So we spend less than an hour there. Masa tu harga-harga yang di tawarkan sangat berpatutan. Tapi..kena ingat lah kan...kang nak bawak dalam luggage.. jadi beli ape yang patut sahaja.
Lepas dah beli ala qadar tu, trus kami ke Thomasland. This Thomasland is recently opened for public. It was in the Drayton Manor Theme Park. Bleh tengok kat website dia. Banyak info yang disediakan. I beli tickets online, so sampai kat guard post, tunjuk je barcode of the tickets...terus masuk aje. Masa nak carik parking tu..aduhai dah nampak segala bagai games la. Ala-ala Genting Theme Park kite la... We chose to go here sebab ada Thomas ni la...untuk budak-budak..tapi parent pun join sama! 
Kami isi tangki dulu...pastu baru masuk dan enjoy! Irfan dan Khairyn sangat seronok la... dok naik Harold the Helicopter, naik Thomas & Percy's ride, Bertie the Bus and a few more. I was so happy that we came here. In fact Amal and Azam did try a few adults ride. Mommies malas lak nak main.. Maybe dah puas ati dapat beli QA sket kot ek Yantie?? 
We were also considered as lucky since they were closing at 6pm that day coz the gate will close at 5pm or 6pm, depending on the weather. Memandangkan kami sampai pun dah pukul 3pm. So 3 jam nak spend dalam park tu kire dah ok lah.. 
Later we checked into Travelodge Birmingham only at 19pound!! Alhamdulillah..dapat yang consider murah la. Masa tu ada promotion. Dapat family room, besar la. Sangat berpuas hati. Siap katil queen + one sofa bed! 
Then we headed to Haziman and Hendon's house which is about 7 minutes away. They are Amal+Yantie's family friend. TQVM for the delicious dinner prepared by the hostess  Sedap gile. Makaceh banyak-banyak Hendon. Kebetulan Hendon pun ex-IIUM. Sama batch grad ngan kiteorg. Kirenye jejak kasih gak la kiteorg ni.. hikhikhik. Nanti bile balik Malaysia (dan sekiranya kami ada di Malaysia) jangan lupa call tau. Let us treat u all plak.
After dinner,kiteorg balik ke Travelodge dan ZZZzzzz.....

Val d'Europe
|
|
Day 5
Bangun tido, makan segala yang ada..kemas-kemas, trus check-out at 11am. Headed to Val d'Europe. Ada Val La Valle, macam Bicester Village. Tapi ada shopping mall dia, Val d'Europe Shopping Centre yang sangat menarik dan lebih mampu untuk membeli
belah. So kami ke sini dari jam 11.20pagi sampai 4.00 petang! Terus cancel nak round Paris City. Lain kali kata suamiku... pasti akan ku tuntut! Since kiteorg beli tiket eurostar for a compulsory one night stay je. Jalan-jalan sini lebih tenang dan best lah. Ada macam-macam. Nothing much to say, let's the photos do the talking k. Enjoy!
Oh ya..we took 4pm LRT to Gare du Nord to get our Eurostar train at 5.40pm. Actually we were the last passengers on-board!!! Lawak sekali lagi...kepada yang dah tau, anda di persilakan gelak...  Alhamdullilah..selamat sampai Maida Vale balik, siap naik black cab lagi.. saje nak rasa. Besar la dalam dia, jakun gak almaklumlah 1st time naik kan.. stroller trus angkat je, tak payah nak fold.

Disneyland, Paris
|
|
Day 4
Back from Bicester Village, mamy dah siap2 beg for our next journey. Nak g Disneyland!!! Yay!! Memang mak bapak Khairyn yang ter'over excited'. A place for everybody kan???. We took Eurostar, depart from St. Pancras Station (London) at 5.20am and arrived after two hours and twenty two minutes at Gare du Nord station. Khairyn slept all the way. Alhamdulillah. Daddy dia pun sama. Me..kadang-kadang terlena jugak! Selesa la eurostar train tu..even budak below four - FREE, sit on the lap. Tapi spacious gak la. Tak sempit.
Sampai je Gare du Nord, I've tried to redeem my tickets booked online via Allo-france. Tapi ada problem!  Hati sudah panas...tapi daddy remains as Mr. Cool. Lepas buang masa nak dekat dua jam kat station tu...kiteorang beli yang baru je. Ni tengah process nak mintak refund! Kalau tak dapat balik...siap la... 
So ada la incident kelakar masa kat station tu. Lawak sih..sangat lawak.. panik pun ada gak. Tapi gelak yang lebih. Bile duduk2 dengan hubby..borak2, nampak iklan LRT, pecah perut ketawa!  kepada yang dah tau, sile gelak!
At last, kiteorang sampai sini....... happy habis!
Sini juga...
I am flying, mamy..aladin flying carpet.
Lepas penat semua, we checked into the Dream Castle Hotel, one of Disneyland partner hotel (ada complimentary shuttle bus from parks - hotel, vice versa). Mandikan khairyn, bagi susu..dia pun lena.. Then mamy keluar sendiri (dady stayed with Khairyn), ambik shuttle bus headed to the Disney Village. Beli Macfillet 4 set! Sebab lepas tengok room service takdak seafood!!  Sambil2 tu sempat singgah Planet Hollywood and Disney Store. Membeli belah seketika
Sampai je hotel balik, Khairyn was still sleeping. Daddy macam musykil je tgk I bawak a big pack of McDonald's. Tapi dalam bagpack kembung!!!  So, tunjuk la hasil rampasan tadi then makan.. Pastu I had terrible headache. Maybe keluar tadi tak pakai jacket, angin kuat, suhu pun sejuk. So sakit kepala loh..
Daddy dengan baik hati bawak Khairyn main-main kat lobby hotel yang penuh dengan permainan. Sampai pukul 12 midnite and was still bright. Summer kan..lambat gelap.

Bicester Village
|
|
Day 3
Erm..rasanya kalau orang Malaysia datang London,sure g Bicester (pronoun as : Bister) Village ni. Sebabnya terjumpa ramai orang melayu kita kat sana. Ada yang student dan ada yang pelancong. Siap bertegur sapa dan senyum. Alhamdulillah jumpe orang melayu yang tak sombong. Banyak sangat dengar cerita yang melayu di luar negara sombong. Jadi pengalaman kami tidak begitu. Ada jugak muka-muka yang familiar masa mamy blog hoping. hhehehe...salam perkenalan.
Banyak designers kat sini yang tak berapa mampu nak rembats! Tapi ada jugak yang berpatutan. Kena pandai cari.
So here are some photos while we were in Bicester. Earlier before that we went back to Windsor Castle area sbb ada orang tertinggal backpack Irfan! nasib baik dapat balik. Kalau tak..semua barang-barang Irfan kena ganti baru.
| Quote: | | Azah, so sorry tak contact ko kat sana. Tak sempat betul. Schedule dah lari daaa..hehehe... Panjang umo kite jumpe ye. |

Tapi sampai-sampai, ramai orang dah balik dah. Tangan semua penuh beg plastik Next. So kiteorg pun memulakan aktiviti merembat apa-apa yang patut.
