Squash: Maybe one last time?

This is Nik. coming in. over.

Squash has been a big part of my student life. 
I played for 4 years in high school, entire matriculation year and degree years. 
There are lots of bittersweet moment. The best part was making new friends.

Winning second place in one of the sirkit tournament was surprising and funny. Rezeki. lepas tu tak merasa terus.

I got the chance to participate in the most probably my last squash tournament in September 2016.
It was held in Melaka. my hometown.
I was excited to welcome the team to my hometown.

Since the schedule was packed, and there were 26 of us (UPM Squash Team), so we have to spend almost the entire day at the court in Stadium Hang Jebat coz everyone have different time to play. 

The things that I was able to bring them to experience and try was the famous cheese naan @ Pak Putra, then the traffic-jem-cause Coconut shake and a 30-minutes photoshoot @ Klebang Beach. 

So here are the pictures taken.

new friends. new friends. can? hmmmmm

The loud girls. super-loud.

New frienddddssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss.
The left one is the champion. The right one is my opponent. A very friendly girl.  
one thing common about these two girls is their HEIGHT. iDongak. iPasrah. iTerima.



Emiiiii. Hmmmm. Met him ever since high school's tournament and we became friends when we met again in the IPT tournament. A talkative young man.


and lastly.
hmmm. iCry
These three.
hmmm

They have been the ultimate best friends throughout my 4 years in UPM. Ying and I trained so hard when we were 1st year. Iqmal and Jiha were so passionate. They trained together with me even there were time when we have to borrow car from other people and went all the way to Putrajaya at night.

Jiha has the bigger picture because obviously she is the one who was very helpful and I improved my skills mostly because of her. Jiha has the most patience since she has to deal with my ultimate laziness running in the court. Iqmal is a just a good damn annoying friend. That basically summarize everything.

I cannot thank these people enough. All the memories. damn feels.

hmmm
The end. iKenot handle the emotions.
iKenot move on.
iSad.


This is Nik Camelia Al Haded, over and out.

p.s: I never thought this day will come. waaaaaa.

Bumi Europe'15 (Places to GO)-part 2

This is Nik, comin in. over.

I have reviewed some of the places I visited in previous post.
so here's the continuation

first up, Madame Tussauds London 
yeah. the worldwide famous wax museum .
I never really thought or anticipated to go here. because I know its not cheap and there are only mannequins or wax figure.
but since its free. again, we layan.

and I had so much fun meeting with the hollywood, bollywood, the marvels and politicians.

even its fake. 
but some of them do look so real and its creepy.
so the wax doll are exactly the size of the person in real life. thus let picture delivers its thousand word.haha





Bicester Village Outlets
I have been here before and wrote a review in this post. 
so,I'll just do some update.

first thing you need to know is that, the Thailand restaurant I went in 2014, is no longer there. so saaad.
the phad thai sedap kot. :(

and for my london calling visit. I know that Bicester village offer a GIFT CARD.
which is actually a good offer. they list out the things that they offer. 
I used the food coupon, it was 5p off at any restaurant in Bicester Village. 
 they have so many offer in it. so upon you arrival, take the gift card first. 
go through every single offer. and marked the one you want to use and start shopping.


Trafalgar Square   
it is the same as Picadilly Circus only it has more entertainment. 
and the location is great. it is nearby the gate to Buckingham Palace and British museum.  
tempat ni ada la orang2 yang lagak mcam patung tu. bila kiter letak duit baru die gerak tu. haaa banyak benda alah tu.
so. gitu jer la. not much. thankfully I dah jalan sini waktu first visit because visit London Callin ni lalu tapi duk atas bas je takleh turun.

Harrods Department Store  
the shopping heaven for those who have lots of money.
seriously, it is.
when we came here. I thought, me and Pang (bdk upm a.k.a roomate london) will just go around and get out. We cant afford anything there so what for lama2 kan.

then I remembered that there's a request to buy some harrods stuff
and Pang also happen to need to buy things for other people
So we estimated to spend only one hour.

well THAT DIDNT HAPPEN.
we end up rushing back to our bus because we spend too much time here. 

first of all its because of the direction. it is really super confusing. we asked the people around so many times to get to the place we want.
and about half an hour later we found the souvenirs section. I took the things that orang pesan and reconfirm with my sister so that I can just go and purchase it but the questions led to another request and more request. 

haha. that is my story in Harrods. as for the review. 
again, it is a great place to shop.
if you happen to be here and bila balik Malaysia ada orang nak kawen ke or ada kawan nak dpt anak ke. haaa shop la kat sini. try to find the most affordable one coz it will be one of kind punya hadiah. hahaha
make sure pergi wrap guna harrods punya wraper and bagi dengan beg plastik harrods sekali. gituuuu.


Hard Rock Cafe London

The tour seperated into two groups. One group went straight ahead to Harrods and another one stopped at the Hard Rock Cafe. I didnt have anything to buy so my plan was to go to Harrods. Somehow, my cousins asked me to buy some hard rock stuff a day before. very lucky. So I went to there and took only the things I need. I dont really like Hard rock. I think it is super overpriced. It's just my opinion. no hard feeling.

London Eye

London famous landmark. I dont find it really entertaining because I rode it during the day and there's nothing much to see.
BUT, it is one of the most-must-visit-London-attraction
so I just go with the flow and enjoy my time there.
the queue is so long however we talked among ourselves and time just pass by and I think we queued for an hour. I THINK. cant remember and I dont actually time it.




hehe.
Thats all yall. 

this is Nik Camelia Al Haded, tak dapat merasa Disney Harrods Cafe, so shaddd. :(

over and out. 

Assalamualaikum.
