Dear
readers,
If you’re
wondering why there isn’t a day one, it’s because I couldn’t keep track of day
1. But don’t worry, nothing big happened during day one. Anyway, I’m here in
London with my parents, Abah and Ibu; Siblings, Ihsan and Iman; Cousin, Hannah;
And Grandparents Atuk and Nanny. So,
happy reading day 2!
6.15 AM (UK)

(Malaysia)
My cousin
and I woke up early in the morning for Fajr prayer. After doing so, we took a
bath. My cousin went in first so when she was done, I went in.
The
apartment didn’t have an air-cond nor fan but the outside wind was enough to be
either an air-cond or fan. It was freezing in the night.
After I
finished my bath, I saw Iman and Ibu in the living room. Ibu was cooking fish
fingers while Iman was just goofing around the room like her usual self.
When the
food was ready, I sat down at the table, near the window and enjoyed the
outside breeze. The wind cooled the room.
As I looked down at the opened window, I could see people walking round-about
in town. All of them with different coloured hair; some with blonde hair, some
with auburn hair, some with green hair even! You could rarely see this in
Malaysia.
While I was
looking out the window, Abah and Ihsan came into the room. Them both sat at the
table and ate Ibu’s cooking.
9.30 AM (UK)
4.30 PM
(Malaysia)
All of us
except Atuk, got out of the apartment and went for Bayswater Station which was
located right in front of our apartment. After getting our tickets and going
into the tube, the tube moved.
The tube
made a stop at Paddington Station but, we didn’t get off as our stop was at
Baker Street.
After
Paddington Station was Edgware Road. Almost every passenger got off and we had
the tube to ourselves; well, almost the whole tube.
After
moments of waiting, and the tube didn’t move, Abah said, “I think that this is
our stop.”
I looked at
him and asked why. “Because, the next stop is Paddington Station,” Abah said. “But
we’re going to Baker Street.”
So, we got
off the tube and another tube that was heading to Baker Street arrived a few minutes
later. The 7 of us got on the tube.
A little
later, we reached Baker Street. We got out of the tube, and went walking for
Madame Tussauds; the famous wax museum.
In Madame
Tussauds, Hannah and I took pictures with various wax actors, singers and
fiction characters such as Tom Cruise, Kim Kardashian, Jennifer Lawrence,
Sherlock Holmes, The members of the boy band One Direction, Star Wars and
Marvel Heroes.
We also
watched shows, got involved in a hunt for Sherlock Holmes, you know, stuff like
that.
After all
the fun, we went to the souvenir shop that was located in the lower part of
Madame Tussauds. There, I bought a black pen that had the writing Madame
Tussads on it.
12.45 PM
(UK)
7.45 PM (Malaysia)
All of the
adventure ended and we all left Madame Tussauds. We went back to the tube
station at Baker Street. We got on the tube and it stopped at Edgware Road; and
that was where we got off.
Minutes
later, another tube arrived and we got on it. The tube moved and off we went to
Paddington but got off at Bayswater Station.
1.20 PM (UK)
8.20 PM (Malaysia)
The 7 of us
reached Bayswater Station and got off the tube. We walked back to our apartment
where Atuk was hungrily waiting. When Atuk heared the doorbell ring from the
outside, Atuk unlocked the door and let us in.
As Hannah
and I were making our way up the stairs, Ibu said, “After putting whatever you
want to put in the room, come back down for lunch!”
“Aww!”
Hannah wined while walking up the stairs. “What’s wrong?” I asked her.
“My legs are
so tired of walking in Madame Tussauds. Then later we have to walk back down
for lunch!” Hannah said.
“I know
right?” I said as I walked up the stairs. But we both knew one thing for a
fact; we don’t go back down, we don’t eat!
1.55 PM (UK)
8.55 PM (Malaysia)
We went back
down and walked to a halal noodle restaurant called, Noodle Oodle. It wasn’t
far so the 8 of us including Atuk, could go there by foot.
We went into
the restaurant. It was just a cute little restaurant. We sat down at a table
and ordered our food.
A few
minutes later, our food arrived and believe me, the food was great! Recommended
for anyone!
2.50 PM (UK)
9.50 PM
(Malaysia)
All of us
finished eating and Abah paid for the food. We all thanked Abah as we walked
back to the apartment.
Ibu and Abah
had to go somewhere to register us for our next trip so left Ihsan and Iman in
my grandparents’ apartment with me and Hannah.
Atuk and
Nanny were tired so they slept on the couch in the living room while Hannah,
Ihsan, Iman and I just minded our own business and tried not to be noisy.
But, at one
point, one by one, each of us, fell asleep on the bed and on the couch.
7.00 PM (UK)
2.00 AM
(Malaysia)
Ibu woke me
up. I opened my eyes and saw everyone awake. Ibu walked back to the kitchen and
she continued to cook. She was cooking tomato soup and the smell picked up my
appetite.
Once the
food was ready, we all sat at the table and digged in. After we ate, we prayed
Maghrib. When prayer was done, we all went to bed.
PS, if you’re
wondering why this post has no pictures, it’s because I forgot to bring my
camera with me. Heh.
