London on 25th december

Since semua mode of public transport tutup, we were left with one and only option i.e bicycle.  We had to cycle all the way from Euston Travelodge to Bayswater. Tak tahu lah apa masalah the first machine I used, the ticket wasn't printed out. I was like, what??? I'm not gonna wait for another 15 minutes for the current code to expire? So, I used another mean of payment to proceed. That means I now have two cycling ticket for 24 hours. Hurm.... Sebab nak pujuk hati supaya tak rasa membazir, I gave one ticket for my other friend to use.

Second problem, tak tahu direction. So, with Iman's iPhone, kitorang cycle la lintang pukang. On pedestrian walk, by the road, celah lorong mana ntah, made a few stops, and lastly, sampai jugak. Alhamdulillah... Masa cycling tu, suppose kena dock the bicycle for every half an hour for free ride. Tapi sebab ramainya orang cycling on that day, semua tempat yang kitorang nak dock, dah ada orang lain queuing up for docking as well. So, we decided to dock later and continued cycling.

Penat gilaaaaaaa cycling sejam. Orang tak biasa berbasikal and bersenam kan... Memang parah sikit la. Nasib baik sihat je and x lenguh2. And that was my first time too, cycling on the main road. Dengan gelabah-gelabah nak handle, Alhamdulillah we arrived safely at the destination.

Sampai di Malaysian's Kitchen a.k.a MSD, ramainya orang sampai kena bukak hall yang selalu digunakan untuk event rasmi. And there were no free seats available. Luckily I saw Aqeela and we joined her table. Disebabkan nak ambil untung sedikit sempena hari orang tak bukak kedai neh, all meals were charged extra one pounds, and side meals 50p. Selesai makan, we went shopping for souvenirs. Iman wanted to buy souvenirs to be brought for her Malaysian and Japanese friends. We got a good bargain for buying fridge magnets and t-shirts. Though the owner of the shop hesitated to give more discounted price for us at first, we managed to pujuk-pujuk sambil buat muka seposen comel. Yeay!!

In the evening, we cycled back to Euston via Oxford Street. Sempat la jugak usha-usha kedai apa yang nak aim for boxing day. Memang semangat waja nak bershopping betul. Then, sesat-sesat lagi nak g Sizzling Bombay sampai called Fathi to direct us to the restaurant. I was so at the wrong way at first. Memang lapar tahap bila food sampai, semua senyap, fokus kat makanan. Bila semua dah tenang dan rasa berisi, kitorang buat strategi untuk bershopping tomorrow. Plan macam hape je, macam nak g perang.
