Day 297- The day i meet my parents~(6/7/11)

=) 18 days to update... phew.. i'll try my best to put my memories together.. =p
woke up really quietly.. didn't wanna wake my friends up, but they did wake up and they followed me to the airport.. we missed a train, so we were quite late.. we should be in the airport 2 hours before, because we were late we left 1 hour plus.. went there wanted to check in, but they wouldn't let me check-in .. the problem was.. my visa to russia was only 5 days, the return ticket that they sent to my dad to email to me was 3rd aug, they said that even if they let me in when i reach russia they will sent me back to uk because of my return ticket... =( thank God my friends were there and i didn't panic.. i called back to penang ace tour company, thank God they weren't close yet, and they help me fax it to manchester airport. Went into the boarding gate.. was suprise there weren't anybody... =) the air hostess was waiting for me.. and i think the whole plane was also... =p

my gate from london to moscow

i thought they won't give any food on the plane so i bought this.. =)

after eating my sushi on board they started serving meal.. swt right??? =p but it tasted not bad.. =)

when i reach there was someone to pick me up from the airport with my name on an A4 paper... first time.. =) but i like .. haha.. =)

when i reach the hotel, my parents prepared this for me.. from their meal... i thought i miss the first day of tour but in reality i didn't =)

Aaaaa.. =) my parents.. =) yay~~~~~~~~~ at last.. after 9 months.. =)

Day 293- BBQ day (2/7/11)

Went to town to settle some money issues, came back load some iphone apps , and head of to the park for BBQ~ haha

this was the table of food!!! for 7 people...

This was the so call 'commitee' in front of the camera..

this is behind the scene.. don't understand why my mouth was so full.. haihz... reputation drop~

this was my job, wait for smokey stove and start making bake sweet potatos..it was really good and everyone likes it.. haha =)

this was me sleeping in the park again.. =p.. been sleeping in lots of park lately..but with this weather.. it's really lovely and nice!
we BBQ from around 2 something afternoon to around 8 something.. i left early because i wanted to watch transfomers with Shyen Wei and Pr Peter..
Me and Shyen Wei was sad during the whole movie because someone told us the ending and tell us that all transformers will die.. it wasn't so.. anyway we still enjoy the movie and the time together.. =} God has been really good=)

Day 292- Jailbreak again~ (1/7/11)

Spent my day updating my blog... lots to write.. 6 days.. so i forgot todays.. haha.. my friends cooked lunch for me while i wrote.. so nice of them. =)

My Apple brokedown partially few days ago, and i only found that out during my london trip..
so i've got to reload a new firmware and redo the jailbreaking.. =) this time i didn't spent much time on it and it was done pretty quickly without having problems or making me wait like mad.. =) it was quick and good.. praise the lord.
Went to asda in the middle of the night to buy things for tomorrow's bbq.. it was really cold.. and it was a long walk but we got safely home, after that we prepared stuff till like 5 something in the morning and headed to bed.. =)

Day 291- Cadbury city (30/6/11)

Woke up around 8 something in the morning, wash up and went to cadbury world, i thought that it was no match to what i saw in charlie and the choclate factory.. what i was about to see was so much more amazing

this was what welcome us from the station, well the whole city was owed by cadbury, when i was told that i didn' tpay much attention to it but after finishing the exhibition it was really a 180 deg change. A man who sold tea and coffee found that cocoa was something new that he could try to sell, in the olden times, as cocoa was bitter , it was added with spices and chilli, but this man found a new recipe, he added sugar to and cocoa butter to it to make it sweet, then later on the added milk to the recipe. The city was built because he wanted to treat his workers like his family members, he built cathedrals, hospitals, fields, and all in it called as bournville, it really taught me alot about not being selfish, he not only gave generously to his workers, he is willing to open up his factory for people to visit and see the making process and teach children about the history of him.
I was using google company as an aim for 2nd chance but now, i think i got to change, and get the idea from cadbury.. it's really very cool and i really like it.. the passion.. wow... ~ i really got to have that..
after that went to bermingham for some lunch and a little shopping, when we went for lunch in a chinese restaurant i saw another amazing thing, one of the workers dirty the place, another just took a broom and clean it up silently without making any hassel.. it was an action that was so so meek. wow~ i really have to learn that up.. it was really really teaching me humbleness..
well i didn't shop much during the trip.. well i meant on clothes.. i saw lts of nice dresses which are cheap, but the boys are with me so i couldn't go in and see them.. paiseh ma..
but it was a really good trip, leng and francis have been to london, but because i wanted to go, they accompanied me.. = )
left birmingham and headed straight for Manchester, the train stop at stafford where leng got down. Reached manchester around 6.15pm then walk home, put down my stuff, comb my hair properly and then headed to church for cell group.. =)

Shyen wei bought a fairwell cake for me, matthew and wen, all from malaysia and going back to malaysia soon...=) it was nice.. we actually have plans to go and watch transfomer after the service but sadly there wasn't anymore shows available.. =(
came home talk to dad and mom and found out that grandpa was in the hospital.. got a little worried... but as mom said everything happens for good for those who love Him.. was talking ha;f way when my friends told me that we can see our results posted online.. clicked in .. i got second upper for a degree.. well was sad for a little while, but then thank God that i pass and it wasn't that bad.. = ) God is good, and He is always faithful and true.. He is the alpha and omega, first and the last.. =) God is awesome.. yeah~

Day 288- London Day 2 ( 27/6/11)

Woke up early this morning to catch a train that would take us to see where the british royals live..
Had McD as we started the day~!

We did lots of check in in fb today.. everywhere we go.. we showed it on fb..

first stop windsow castle.. wah canggih, cantik.. walk up.. a guard told us.. " sorry, the castle is close today, the royals are attending a memorial.. " .. excuse me.. what did you say ?? castle close.. o.O castle close?
so what we see was only the guard change.. ok la at least better than nothing right.. =)
what i notice in all souveniors shops was there were postcards that has the picture of queen elizabeth, princess diana, prince william and kate, but there were really little, close to none for prince charles.. isn't he next to the throne? but after marrying again will he still qualify for it?hmm.. don't understand..
next ..

we went to the greenwich line where it's 0'0'0. where the clock on that lines left was minus and on the right is plus.. the clock was 1 hour slower than london's time.. there we saw a really big telescope.. =)

this is buckingham palace, where the royals usually wave at the balcony.. it's really big.. we were late the gate was close.. same thing.. we saw the guard change.. XD
later we went to piccadilly again.. because

Yesterday i saw the M&M world which was close so i insisted on going in today.. haha.. and we were in.. well the M&M world is only in USA but now there's one in London.. =) hooray me likey..
it's really nice.. wanted to buy a M&M dispencer but then thought that if i put it in my room, first there will be ants, next the heat in my room would melt the chocs, and it was like 15 pounds.. so .. scrap it.. =)

Here is it.. the big ben.. which doesn't give the right ring.. it was 10pm but the bell only struck 9 times.. hmm.. they miscounted??

this is the London eye.. 2 special carraiges..one's red another is with only metal which means all is holes .. it's empty.. whatever.. i don't know how to explain it.. =p

this was what i found on the grass.. a smiley face.. haha.. =)

this was it's view at night..

after a long day.. we went back.. Francis bought a oyster card and this was on it.. =) .. dad, do you want it.. i ask them buy for you?
couldn't blog from my phone so... sorry for the delayed blogs.. will try to update all soon.. =p

Day 287- London Day 1(26/6/11)

Woke up at 7 am in the morning, sneek quietly out of my room cause i don't wanna wake my friends up (mag and Aivee) .. went to the bus station and waited.. and waited.. and waited.. the bus that was suppose to arrive didn't come on time.. =[ bad.. so i sat on a bus that wasn't that bus and went down to a stop which isn't the stop and started running.. ran into tesco and grab some breakfast .. then continue running to the station.. once i got up there, put down my bag... it started moving.. it show how good God is because i was praying all the way that i don't miss this train.. and God was so so good.. =)
After an hour or so , leng and francis boarded the train..

and in another 2 hours we reached LONDON!!! the station was big..=) see me still wearing a jacket.. hmm... i regret that... it was like 25 deg outside but the sun was scorching hot!!! so we first headed to the hostel and got changed.. bad.. i threw out my short pants thinking i don't need it.. =( anyways..
after that we went to sherlock holmes's home.. =)

i don't think i quite know how to use this thing..

acting like a detective, do you think it's a pass?

after that we went to the horse tunnel market which last time was used as a stable then we went

Tower bridge which since young the nusery ryhmes put as london bridge.. there is a london bridge but it's just a normal one and not as nice as tower bridge.. the blue strips at the side looks like ribbon.. it's so so nice... i like the look of it.. the center of the bridge can be open up for the tall ship to cross.. we went lots of places more, piccadily, baker street and so on.. i don't have the photos with me so i couldn't recall them.. =p

after a hot sunny day we went to have a drink.. this was the advertistment...

and this was the product... as jie always say.. pictures are for illustration purpose only.. XD

later on our way back Francis suggested that we go and see St. Pauls church as it was famous..

all camera's was running on low batt so we got to take pictures quickly.. o.O
all pictures will be posted on fb soon.. * sorry for the dalay but my photographers are not very effiecient.. haha*
we were staying in a hostel with 4 bed's in a room, with 3 of us.. of course there will be another one guy, it happens to be an italian .. but his only 19..* mel:no hope* it's nice but it's the first time i'm alone sleeping with 3 guys.. but on budget trip .. can't help it.. it only cost like 15 bucks a night..

Walk around madrid town for the last few hours, had my last bath and then went to the airport to Alicante.. =)
Richi said this is good in alicante.. called something like 'palle'

this is rabbit + chicken meat~

There's a lot of different flavours, this is seafood one.. =)

This is the Alicante beach..

this is the road.. alicante is much like dubai.. roads full of sand, maybe it's bacause it's close to the beach .. anyway we didn't have much time to walk around, we had a bus to catch to Barcelona.. =)
There was a problem with the bus.. the place where we booked was sat by others.. and there is no more seat for me, my friends were really worried, they asked me to sit, but they needed to stand so i didn't want ..My friends and other passengers asked me to sit beside the driver, i didn't dare,s o i push Francis to go, the driver was scolding loudly in Spanish.. i quickly asked Francis to come up.. so i stood another like 1 hour.. then they stopped at a station and someone went down and asked me to sit in his place.. well the fella that sat beside him.. my goodness... and to make things worst he was talking on the phone with a language i completely don't understand.. waited for another station and prayed hard.. thank God, the next station there was 2 spaces.. so i sat with Francis... =)

Day 275- Spain Day 2 (14/6/11)

Woke up this morning, got frighten cause the PSDCian went out for morning walk and i was still sleeping.. but thank God.. they came back for me. =) 14 people, we broke into 2 groups, MMU group and PSDCian group, i followed the PSDCian group of course... =)

We met at McD, dad remember our first meal in McD when we went Europe? 3 Meals cost around RM 100, it's still kinda the same price if you convert it.. =p but i bought one burger that cost only 1 euro.. =) smart kid at work.. haha

This is the market, the fruits look fresh and it's so nicely laid.. =) loving it here.. =)

We all bought the same t-shirt, 3 for 10 euro, cheapest of all, and we went out like that.. looks like my kindergarden presentation outfit.. haha.. =p

this is the palace, cost a bomb to go in so we took photo from high above.. =) besides we didn't have much time because the PSDCian's Spanish friend was coming over to take us for tour.. = )

Look at our 3 big photographers, one in white, another in yellow and another in red.

This is called 'pan tomatoe' meaning tomato bun, it's a spanish food, tasty.. =)

ORO in spanish means gold, they sell and buy gold all around the streets, see the small name tag beside the oro thing, it's the street name, if it's named after someone that person's picture will be there..

Us again..

this is a nice lake they people like to do boating in the summer

Me outside a train station, they call it the Metro stations.

Ou.. that on the far right is our tour guide aka PSDCian friend's spanish friend, his name is Richi, took us took all the places we need to go in Madrid and.. food. =)

this is the REAL MADRID stadium, we didn't get to go anywhere inside or near it because it was closed.. =(

As usual, what we always like to do when we are together... jump~!

My first wine.. Sangaria, it's wine mix with orange and lemon fruits... there's wine taste but it's not so bitter.. nice.. =) Spanish famous wine.

And i love this, 'Ali Oli Patata' which means potato with ali oli sauce, nice.. =} maybe cause too hungry ... haha

I dreamt about this place.. weird right dunno why i always dream stuff but it was exactly what i saw in my dream, friends sitting beside me with this kinda settings

Us going home..

Oops.. one more, richi said we should watch the famous Spanish flaminggo dance and so we did, it was lie 30+ per person but with Richi.. it was 10 pounds.. we got lots of discounts because of him... people in spain seldom speak english, so it's kinda hard to understand.
It was really a fruitful day cause our tour guided took us to eat all different special kinda spanish food.. yumms.. i'm loving it.. haha.. =) Learn few spanish words, like how are you in spanish is 'keh tel is starch' then fine is 'be ann'... it's not the real spelling of thier words it's just how you pronounce it.. =)
