Hi everyone...it's been a while not updating our blog...let's see, what we were up to...on 161208, my sistas safely arrived from Surrey by train and two days later, my cousin, Shikin n family arrived Durham...they were in the UK for 2 weeks...since we had guests, we bawa them gi jalan-jalan around Durham...every shop was having massive sale, so apa lagi shikin n family seronok shopping...they managed to feel the closing down sale at woolies up to 90% tuh...on the 241208, we drove to Edinburgh as Shikin n family have planned to visit Edinnburgh castle...we started our journey at around 1030 and reached our destination at 1415...we straight went to the hotel to check-in but unfortunately we have to wait till 1500 as per the scheduled time...while waiting, Shikin read the Edinburgh castle pamplet and noted that the castle will be closed on christmas day...so all of us rushed to the castle and Shikin n family managed to visit the castle...since all the tourist attraction and shops were closed on 251208, we went sightseeing at Edinburgh town...Edinburgh was empty and filled with tourist...it reminded us of KL during raya time when KLCC is filled with indon, bangaladeshies...it feels like we owned the town:)...the next day, boxing day we went to Livingston Factory Outlet and did our shopping spree...all of us managed to get the things we wanted especially Shikin...penuh gaklah boot kete...after having fun spending our money, we went back to Durham and on the way home we bought pizza for dinner...281208, we went to Dalton Park for Shikin to complete her shopping... 301208, brought Shikin and Bad to Newcastle jalan-jalan...on New Year's eve we headed to Manchester as Shikin n family will be leaving to KL on 010109...in Manchester, we met Alya and she cooked dinner for us...thank you to Alya and Shazlan for the lovely dinner...the following day, we ronda-ronda kota Manchester and had lunch at halal Indian restaurant in Rusholme...thanks to Shazlan for ordering the delicious food...at 1600 we headed to Manchester airport to sent Shikin and family...my oh my, ingat dah awal pergi check-in tapi sebenarnya tidak, dah ramai yang datang awal before us...however, syukur alhamdullillah all went ok and no problem occured...after Shikin entered the boarding room, we left Manchester and headed back to Durham and safely arrived at 2000...see how busy we were during year end...to Shikin n family, hope you have a pleasant stay in the UK and kalau ada rezeki lebih boleh datang lagi...our house dah tak kecoh2 lagi and the most we miss is gael saying kaka, tuttut, lori and heliko...luckily my sistas will be in Durham till mid Jan09...sunyilah rumah bila semua dah balik nanti...huhuhu....
