Shopping Day & Guest

Last Saturday we went shopping for twins. Yer la banyak lagi barang baby yang tak prepare. Mama almost 7 months kan. Iqbal the most excited big brother. Our first destination was Mamas and Papas. Iqbal bukan main lagi memilih baju untuk adik-adiknya. 'Ni aju baby' kata dia. Hehehe. Ada satu crita dia ble plak masuk bawah gantungan sleeping suit sambil mintak papa cari dia, apa lagi siap jatuh ler semua baju2 tuh. Geram jugak nasib baik Sales assistant kat situ tak nampak. Cepat-cepat papa gantung balik. Iqbal Iqbal dah jadi makin naughty yer big boy mama.

Then we went to Boots Pharmacy looking for baby bath and baby lotion. Beli la siap-siap senang. Anything happen everything is ready. Nak masuk pharmacy ni jumpa plak ngan Malaysian tengah tunggu nak naik kereta dah. Su & family and frens. Mama kenal Su jer, But papa kenal husband kawan Su. Kawan pembolaan papa. Malu mama sebab lama tak jumpa dia pastu jumpa plak mama tengah boyot. Dia plak so gorgeous nyer. syok tengok sangat bergaya dia tuh. Iqbal plak mintak nak jalan sendiri. So dapat borak kejap jer ngan dia. Dapat jer lepas Iqbal terus melulu tempat yang dia nak pegi. Yer la Papa and mama dok sibuk tengok barang baby dia plak ntah ke mana-mana. Then dia dah macam little bit far from us, actually we still can see him mula la he screaming panggil papa. Then muka dah macam nak nangis. Hehehe cepat-cepat papa pegi ambik dia. Ha..... tau takut. Tadi ke main laju lagi.

After Boots, we went to George Store plak. Ooh here the one got something to buy for the twins. Tapi kat first floor la plak. This time memang tak berani nak lepas Iqbal sebab tak sesuai, so mengamuk la dia nak 'cucu' ler kejap-kejap nak bam (tido) ler. At last mama just grab jer apa-apa yang sesuai without pikir panjang sebab hero mama dah mengamuk and 'bekal' dia dalam car. Bayar and we masuk car cepat2 bg 'cucu' dia.

Ni kat Mothercare. Iqbal muka tension jer tak bole turun stroller. Hehehe dah ngantuk juga dia nih.

Iqbal nak naik Thomas & friends sampai tak mo balik. Budak ni pantang nampak Thomas & friends betul la.

Then we went to Mothercare plak mama nak beli changing mat sebab MC nyer murah compare tmpt lain. Papa plak nak beli avent bottle brush for twins. Sbb yang dah ada tu utk Iqbal. Tak mo share katanya. Dah abih shopping sini we headed to ASDA pulak. Mama beli egg noodle and cabbage nak masak fried noodle for our guest today. Guess who? Pastu shopping gak sikit groceries yang terlupa nak beli semalam. Mama ajak papa ke clothes section. Actually I am looking for hat, mittens & booties for twins. tapi sini susah sgt nak jumpa set tuh. dorg sini tak guna mitten kot. ntah ler. then I grab jugak 2 hats for twins. Hehehe

Ni la hasil shopping barang twin kali ini. Ada sikit2 jer lagi kot. Yang basic tuh insyaAllah dah ada.

Thats all the story about shopping with Iqbal. So tiring but end up we are so happy because Iqbal is the happiest person dapat bebas masa shopping tuh.

Balik dari shopping mama cepat2 masuk dapur nak masak mee goreng jer. Our guest from Leeds nak datang. Kak Leen and family. Kak Leen nih officemate angah kat UPSI. Mama kenal la sebab selalu jumpa kalau pi jalan2 Tanjung Malim tuh. Dorang sampai dah pukul 6 lebih. mama masak mee goreng simple and keropok udang jer. Iqbal plak happy dapat kawan Aneesa anak Kak Leen. Abih semua toys dia tunjuk kakak tuh and ajak main dengan dia. Dah pukul 9 camtuh baru dorang bertolak pulang ke Leeds. Iqbal macam sedey kawan dah nak balik kesian dia. Seronok kami dah lama tak der tetamu dtg rumah. Jangan serik datang lagi yer Kak Leen.

Papa tengah borak ngan Abg Najib (husband Kak Leen) tak der cerita lain cerita bola jer la.

Iqbal naik car ngan Aneesa. Heheeh.

Stadium Oh Stadium

After came back from Wales, papa bertekad nak tour Football Stadium for the team yang listed in English Premier League and collect their merchandises. So, we went to Old Trafford Stadium again. Oops! they had match today MU vs Bolton. Lucky us it's still early. Orang dah mula ramai but not so crowded lar. Souvenir mmg sale up to 70% but not for the jersey OK. Dapat ler 2 MU T-shirts (papa&mama) and Iqbal as well (Legend in training), fridge magnet, pin badge and handkerchief. Semua barang yang ada discount jer. Ahaks.

Shopping shopping shopping dan lagi

Dah pilih barang. Que ler plak dah nak bayar.

Kat depan stadium Old Trafford. dah penah pose kat sini ler dulu.

Merchandise yang papa bought kat Old Trafford Stadium and Manchester City Stadium

Ini la Legend in Training. Ble kah ganti Ronaldo nanti nih?

Dari Old Trafford we went to Manchester City Football Stadium plak. Around 10 minutes from our apartment and next to ASDA. Always past by the stadium but never went there before. Here not much we got just MCFC mug and pin badge. Here we met ngan Malaysia (students) tengah shopping merchandise jugak.

Pose dari Iqbal, siap bengkok2 kan badan. Gaya apa ni Iqbal?

Then on last Saturday after having our heavy breakfast nasi kerabu and kuih koci and roti canai we went to Wigan nak tengok their stadium. This is quite small stadium sharing with ragbi. Not so many merchandise been sold here as well. We tawaf the stadium looking for the gift shop pun tak jumpa, actually the shop is at the shopping outlet JJB. So papa sorang jer la pegi shopping yer mama dah pancit tawaf itew stadium.

Wow! Dapat makan nasi kerabu mmg walla. Siap ada ngan kuih koci and roti canai pak Anas lagi. Iqbal mmg suka roti canai curry kambing nih. Makan sampai menjilat jari.

PApa & Iqbal depan JJB Stadium Wigan

Mama plak nak possing ngan Iqbal. Hehe big mama nyer!

Our next stadium was Blackburn Rovers plak. Today they had match ngan Wigan plak. But, papa manage to park at the nearest parking space at the stadium tuh. Sini their people suka jalan then traveled by by transfortation (may be rumah dorang dekat kot or to avoid traffic jam). Papa jer went to shop at the merchandise shop coz Iqbal dah sleep melip dalam car. Papa grab what ever he interested with big discount too.

Depan Blackburn Rovers. Kat parking. Iqbal dah tido dalam car.

Then, on the way back we stopped plak at Reebok Stadium, Bolton. Dekat highway jer. Today pun ada match gak. Bolton vs tak tahu heheh. Mama dah tired sangat tak nak join papa ke souvenir shop dah lagi pun Iqbal still sleep. Papa got what he want then we chau la.

Merchandises yang papa beli kat ketiga2 stadium tuh. Cukup ler untuk kenang-kenangan yer papa.

Wales...Here we go Part 2

Continue our journey to Wales.

On day 3, We had breakfast in the hotel, which is complimentary by the hotel. We had smoked mackerel (adus masin nyer!) tak dapek nak habiskan and cereal.
Iqbal just having cereal then main lari2 ngan Azim. Dua orang nih kalau jumpa main lari2 aje la. Tapi happy plak tengok dorang happy. :)

Ni la Min-y-mor Hotel dari pandangan depan. Berhadapan dengan beach. Very nice view.

Iqbal happy dapat lari2 kat garden hotel nih. Can you see the beach? Very nice and nyaman kan.

Mama pun nak join possing jugak.

After checked out at Min-y-mor Hotel, Barmouth we were headed to Cardiff.
On the way to Cardiff we stopped a few places for sightseeing. Here we stopped at Ebersywth town. Very nice waterfront they have here.
Just went to Tourist Information Center. Ada lambang cymru (red dragon) besar lagi.

and of course tasted their fresh fish and chips. Tu papa dah tapau fish and chips. Makan dalam car la yer. Sbb jauh lagi perjalanan kami.

A few places we stopped for sightseeing and lepaking.Arrived Cardiff almost 7.00pm already. Very tired. Papa bought nasi beriani kambing from Indian Cuisine Restaurant and we just had the dinner at the hotel room. Early morning we checked out and continued our journey.

Ni possing in front of the Premier In Hotel after checking out. This is the most confortable hotel that we stayed.

Gambar jalan2 at Cardiff city. We stopped at Cardiff Castle just 10 minutes from the hotel, We didn't enter the castle just do some retail therapy at the castle gift shop. Papa bought Malaysia Wales flag pin badge. Ha nampak sangat Malaysian ramai gak melawat tempat nih.

Then, we jalan2 at the Bute Park next to the Cardiff Castle. Very nice park and nyaman sekali udara di sini. Iqbal happy ler sekejap dapat lepas bebas. Alangkah bestnya kalau ada park macam nih kat rumah mama. Ble lepak petang2 kan.

Lepas bersantai di pagi hari di Bute Park we continued our journey to Cardiff Football Stadium. Dekat area town Cardiff jugak. Papa and Iqbal as usual went for souvenir hunt kat merchandise's shop stadium tuh. Mama plak dok dalam car jer sbb dah lelah jalan kat park tadi.

Then, we went to Bristol plak. Good Bye Wales. Dah masuk UK balik. Papa nak visit Bristol Football stadium. Mama sempat snap gambar papa kat entrance stadium tuh, then papa bought some sourvenir kat gift shop. Iqbal plak dah lelap kat dalam car. Kesian dia dah kepenatan.


Lepas nih we went to Bath. Bath ni tempat dia mmg banyak sangat beautiful building. Memang menarik architecture building di sini. Ramai sangat student melawat dengan ambik gambar. Lawatan sambil belajar kot. But so bad, kitorang tak jumpa space for parking. so just sightseeing dalam car jer la. sayang nyer.

Then we continued our journey to Stonehenge. This is quite wonderful place. Kira ajaib la sbb sampai sekarang tak tahu mana batu2 nih datang and macam mana di bawak ke tengah ladang ini. Tapi tujuan stonehenge just untuk tentukan musim berpandukan star, sun and moon. Untuk kegunaan peladang di sini beribu tahun dahulu. Sekian ceritanya. Meh kita layan gambor plak.
Mama mula2 sampai and masuk area stonehenge nih. Iqbal dah sibuk nak turul dari his stroller. Nak jalan sendiri.


Gambar sefamili. Ada student from Philippines yang volunteered ambil gambar kami. Bila jalan2 mcm ni tak banyak dapat bergambar bertiga. Yer la susah jugak nak mintak tolong visitor lain snap our picture kan.

Tengok la anak bujang mama nih tak duduk dlm stroller dah. nak berdiri plak. Satu lagi kat sini mmg dijaga ketat oleh security guide. So visitor tak ble melepasi tali yang mengelilingi stonehenge nih. Tapi si Iqbal ni buat lawak dengan semangat waja angkat itu tali and nak pegi ke arah stonehenge tuh. Nasib baik papa sempat tengok and tangkap dia. Rasanya security guide tu dah cuak dah tadi. Hehehe.

Bergambar dengan family uncle Jukie.

Stonehenge waktu dah senja.

Dah keluar dari area stonehenge tuh. Sempat bergambar kat batu depan entrance stonehenge tuh.
Tengok ler gemuk nya sheep kat sini. Kat Malaysia ada lagi ker kambing biri-biri ini? Ker dah pupus hah?

Antara souvenirs yang papa bought masa travel Wales and Stonehenge.

Ni from 2 football club yang kami visit.

Ini plak pin badges yang mama baru nak collect. Macam comel plak letak kat beg nih.

Ni ada campur2 T-shirt, fridge magnet and cap.

After visit stonehenge we went back home. The travelled took almost 5 hours. Macam balik Kedah ler. Sampai rumah everyone dah tired. Had a very light dinner then tido. Good Night. :)
