Leicestershire

In this piece of writing, I will write something different, I will write about my trip and visit to a dear friend of mine. My good buddies sent me off, they almost brought me to tears (special appreciation to Mohd Azizi bin Abd Aziz for his efforts to make me cry!). Thank you ever so much for everything , my darlings. You guys have made me very happy for the past 2 weeks, which were the happiest weeks ever! I will miss all of you!

The journey was teribbly boring. I almost died of boredome. Thank God I had someone to crack and share silly jokes with (virtually, of course!) After a journey of almost five hours, I arrived at Leicester. With a gigantic bag and a cute but heavy suitcase, it was an absolutely amazing journey. Alhamdulillah there were some guys helped me with the almost impossible task of dragging the bags in and out of the trains.

Sarah, my housemate, also my best ever friend picked me up at the train station. The first view of Leicester was...Masha Allah! There are Muslims every where. Almost all the Muslimahs wear niqabs. I am impressed! Even in Malaysia it is not like this. Our Malaysian girls are getting sexier and sexier (as far as I am concern). And there are also people walking with al-Qur'an and tasbih in thier hands. I will put some pictures later as I always forgot to take some (too mesmerized of everything that going on around me).

Her mum is a fantastic chef. The first day, I ate some capati with curry, real Indian curry. It was delicious! Better than Fahad's! And yesterday, after long, long months of not eating beef, I ate beef curry with some Indian rice, it was fabulous! I had two helpings (OMG)! Guess I will make myself fat before I am going back to Malaysia! And her family members are really friendly, I feel so much at home that I don't like the idea of going out!

As my bags were so goodnessly heavy, I had to post half of them away...there goes my £££ again! Remember folks, next time, pack really carefully before you travel, don't be like me! I am just clumsy and lazy and short-minded when it comes to packing stuffs for travelling. Usually, Sarah packs for me. Here, in her room, she was the one who unpacked and packed for me. I just love her for this, hehehe.. Then later at night, we went to one of her aunties' home to say goodbye as they are leaving to Tanzania for summer holiday. Her aunty is so cool , friendly and sporting. I really like her, aunty Debbs. Her daughters are really pretty; mixed genes I guess."Tell me when you have kids, and then you can tell me how you regret being married!" (I have edited her actual words here) she said, jokingly when she learned that I am getting married soon, insya Allah. I will definately visit her again one day!

Today, I went out to the town to do some shopping, and I bought lots of stuffs! I bought:
  • a pair sunglasses
  • a white flowy, linen skirt
  • 3 kaftan tops
  • 3 shirts
  • small, cute toileteries for my one day stop at Colombo
I feel broken now (money wise) but happy as I have not shopped for ages! Well, I have restrained myself from shopping after I bought a new laptop, and now, I just can't be bothered! Shopping is indeed a good therapy, till you found out how broke you are!

Anyway, I still have 5 more days to go back to Malaysia. My journey will start on the 7th of July, but I will have to transit at Sri Lanka for a day (8th July)- Sri Lanka tourism purposes; and catch the next flight to KL the next day. Hopefully, everything will be fine and I will arrive at Malaysia safely, Insya Allah, amiin..Do pray for my safety, yea!

Till then, see you again next time. Xx
