London 2011

Dear Amirah,

Papa kena gi outstation for 5 days. This time to London. After did some thinking and consulted some people, mama decided to take my annual leaves and ikut Papa. the reasons being were because it will be just a short trip, mama can do quick shopping while papa is working :), free accommodation and the best part, also free airline tix. Yup, free airline ticket sbb Papa boleh redeem Papa punyer Enrich points yg byk tuh. So, boleh dpt return ticket from KLIA to Heathrow for mama. Mama just bayar tax jer. So, overall for the 5 days trip to London, Mama just paid about RM1,800 aje.. so, sgt berbaloi kan?

But the down side was, we can't bring both of u along. lagi pon, takut Amirah n Fina kena jet lag lagi, and Mama can't afford to bring both of u jalan2 sebab Papa pergi kerja time tu.. takkan kita nak duduk kat hotel saja kan? plus full price airline tickets for both of you, dekat RM4000 sorang = RM8000. so, apa yang Papa n Mama buat, we called back up from Perlis.. we decided to minta tlg Mak Tuk, Tuk Ayah, Si Ti and Si Di jagakan Amirah n Fina kat Kajang.

Well, overall for Mama, the London trip was a shopping trip.. boleh dikatakan mcm shopping raya laa kot... anyway, plan asal takde laa nak beli byk sgt pon, however we ended up borong sakan pulak... From 2 luggage of about 25 kgs total, we brought home 3 luggage (addition of 1 big luggage) with total of 60 kgs. Some major items yang Mama n Papa bought were of course toys and plush (Simba n Nala) from Disney Store; sgt banyak baju, seluar n kids clothing from Primark; Samsonite luggage from Bicester Village; shirts papa yang sgt byk; one top from Burberry; Handbag from Gucci; jerseys and sports related from Lillywhites, 2 dresses from Zara, etc.

We stayed at Marriot Hotel, Marble Arch. Short walking to Oxford St. Papa was only available on Saturday and Sunday. So, we spent our time shopping for both of the days. We also went to Notting Hill on Sunday afternoon tu. On Monday n Tuesday, Papa kena work. So, mama kena jln sorang2 or jalan ngan wife boss Papa, Michelle. On Monday, mama jln2 kat Oxford Street lagi, before going to Hard Rock Shop and lunch kat Hard Rock Cafe dengan Auntie Michelle. Malam, mama ngan Auntie pergi tgok musical show, Mamma Mia kat Prince of Wales Theater. The show was really fantastic. Sgt2 best. I'm sure both of you will also enjoy it. At the end of the show, they would sang all the hit songs again and danced together.. even some of us pon would stand up and danced along. Nanti dah besar, i will bring both of u to see such shows ya.. We were lucky that with only 62.50 pounds, we could get box punyer seating, macam VVIP pulak.. even the seatings located below cost about the same, yg penting kena pandai cari booth yg jual seat murah.

On the last day (Tuesday), mama jalan sorang2. Mama decided to take a hop on hop off bus tour from the Original Bus Tour. Last 2 years during winter, we took the Big Bus Tour. Mama stopped at some main landmarks of London and took some pics before ended up taking a short tour to the Tower of London.. i only found out that the Tower of London was also the same place that they used to shoot Harry Potter. Finally i ended up to make a quick stop at Disney Store, to grab those lovely Nala and Simba for both of u. Our flight back to Malaysia was later that night. We arrived the next evening.

Amirah dengan Adik ikut sekali ambik mama n papa kat airport on Wednesday tu.. amirah ngan fina dtg ngan Si Di, Tok Ayah n Mak Tok. Amirah tido dlm kereta. Fina duduk dgn Mak Tok. Fina excited sgt bila nampak papa n mama... kejap nak ke depan, kejap nak ke belakang. As for Amirah, bila nampak mama pegang Nala, Amirah pon bangun.. Mama bg Simba dekat adik... Mama n Papa really missed both of you when we were in London.

For both of u, these are some of the pics that Mama n Papa took in London. We Love both of You.
