KUL-LHR UNWIND V.2


Day 3 : Heading north to Scotland via Manchester. We decided to stop at the famously known Ol' Trafford. Brothers purchased the stadium tour online while the rest of us continue driving wandering the city. Manchester was known for the large Malays Community residential, and offers invariably luscious and pocket worth of Halal Foods. You'll can simply bumped into Malaysians at every  corner of the block, as they say.


Planting dreams *_*



Arrived Scotland at almost half past ten. Weee, lethargic much! Left London at 9 am and here we are warmly welcomed  by the Cottage Owner. So thoughtful of them to even fill the fridge with fresh milk and butter, baked us hommie bread with eggs hatched from their own chicken (cool!). Oh yes, we rent a cottage by the name of  East Cambusmoon Farm where it's 5 acre smallholding on the outskirts of the village of Gartocharn at the southern end of the world famous Loch Lomond.
 

the cottage. it is so so serene with a breathtaking hill farm view.



would also be perfect for grilling outdoor. if only it's summer, otherwise you'll catch a cold. It's -2 deg at night and we even experienced snowfalls :) 



the spacious kitchen. love it!



the bedrooms. oh-so divine! the interior is basically simple but encounter the feels-like-home ambience. cozy and warm. we just loved everything about the cottage. Highly recommended peeps :)



Day 4: devouring the Edinburgh city situated in Lothian. The city offers magnificent architecture building, which many originated from the 50's era. 


nice ain't it? pic: google.



and this is Day 5: Glasgow City. Awe in amusement. Alhamdulillah for the opportunity.


fallin in love :) cringeeeee. oh this pix is taken only via my trusted iphone5. i somehow thinks it looks surreal cool.

to be cont. v3

The KUL - LHR unwind v.1

like finally finally.. here we are.. whirlwind trip to LONDON! After almost 20 years, I am here again pledging the leaves-less tree, inhaling the cold breeze I once missed, the iconic Red double decked that reminds me of yester-years. yes, LONDON. Alhamdulillah for the opportunity.


LONDON. One of the most well-known city.


Checked-in and the vibes running high in excitement. We choose Emirates since the airlines offer the best price exceptionally on the day bookings were made.



Ready for your first bound Umar? Sorry for the long haul for an introductory. :p So it wasn't pretty a good start for Umar since the plane switched off their cooling condition due to some power savvy, hence he wailed for some air! And I mean he cries his lungs out! Only 5 minutes to take off he calmed himself and starting to play around. Phew. Relieved.


The entourage minus me and siblings during our transit in Dubai.



Arrived at Heathrow, Terminal 4.


So this will be our nesting place for the remaining days in London. Rumah Perseketuan Kerajaan, London in High Street Kensington, Hyde Park, London. The house equipped with 2 main bedrooms and comes with ample living area to plunk ourselves. Comfortable enough I must say at the rate of RM150/per night with additional pillow and duvet, plus it's just a walking distance from Tesco Express, our groceries haystack and just a throw stone away from the nearest tube station. Convenient much. 



the temp reading during our stay was 7deg max and descend to merely -2deg at night. freezing! On the other hand, i personally succumb to the view of the leaves-less trees like its painting a roller-story beneath it. 



Day 2: Bic ester Village.  Splurging after a worthwhile waits. Seriously it was dirt cheap! well, surprisingly it is still inimitable to the one online sellers offers. argh. I die. cannot tahan one! humming to "kalau aku kaya" by awi rafael ft altimet. :)



After almost 3 hours bunking from one shop to another, we made a stop to refuel. No, doubt the coffee shop offer varieties of sandwiches on the Vegetarian bar. And oh, furiously as it may sound, but I can simply made my very point of view, after every half an hour, we'll bumped into fellow Malaysians and exchanged smile notably (yeah-the shopping heaven for Malaysians).



end of v1, and to be cont in v2.
