UK Trip 2016: The Unfortunate Event $$$

Assalamualaikum,

This is Nik, coming in.

Thank you for being here and reading my blog.

You may wonder what is it about the "unfortunate event" .
Did something bad happen when we were in the UK.
Did something happen not according to plan.

Well YES for both

First of all, my two sisters and I went to watch the LION KING show at Lyceum theater.
It was one of the most exciting thing that we want to do.
We FREAKING paid Rm400++ for the seat we sat.

hmmmm
so what happen.

We arrive on Wednesday, and we watched the theater on Thursday at night.
the show start at 7.30pm
since we have only been there for about 24 hours, our body was still jetlag
so guess what happen.

We were tired and sleepy.
We have been going around since early in the morning and and and and and, me and Kak yana woke up at 4am in the morning.

Before the show start, I was so excited, literally I was jumpy and smiling like a weirdo,
But both of my sisters said there are getting sleepy so they need coffee but we couldn't find any coffee nearby the theater. We saw there's a bar inside the lyceum theater so we taught they have it but they dont.

So no coffee.

We watched the starting of the show. The intro was so awesome, then the moment they start to talk, we dozed off.

like zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
and zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
and more zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I thought I dont need coffee.
But I needed one.

The show was amazing
It really is.
I said IS
coz the show is still available and running.

We chose LION KING instead of the others such as Aladdinor Wicked because it has a better review.

and people reviewed it differently.

All the other theater shows are great as well, but the one that made LION KING show so great is because of the graphic.

Even though I slept 40% of the showtime, there were moments where I got to see the best grahpic moments.

It is so great that people were focusing on that more than the actors.

When I said graphic it means the background,
They made the stage into ALMOST exactly like the movie scene.
I cant share the amazing part. It will be a spoiler and spoiler SUCKS.

So yeah.
That is ONE of the unfortunate event that happened to US.
and we find it very funny now.
Well, Im kind of pissed coz that thing cost me RM400++
huwaaaaaa
iCry
but I still enjoy my quick nap. hehe

This is Nik Camelia Al Haded, still look forward to experience other live show .

Assalamualaikum.

p.s: I have made my London vlog, which include the part that I went to watch Lyceum theater. Yup, a few moments before we zzzzzzz.

UK Family Trip 2016-What happen.

Hiiiii.
This is Nik coming in.

This post will not be about tips and me putting all the infos that I want to share about my trip but it will be more about story telling time.

At the beginning of this year, my sister said that she will be having a graduation ceremony in London and hoping that all of us can attend and also at the same time have our family trip.

Seriously, we start talking about this since January or last year. Im not sure.

We sort out everything and came up with a rough budget on how much will it cost each person.
I was the one who calculated every single thing.

How much will it cost if there's 13 people (this is all of us) then
how much will it cost if there only 9 people, 8 people and finally 7 people.

Only 7 of us end up going.
due to budget.

eventhough it will be merrier if all us went but some other things are way more important than travelling 10 000km away from home.

After finalizing on how many people are going, we bought the flight ticket and then we start to plan our route from there.

IT IS NOT EASY.

It is not easy NOT because it is hard to go around in the UK ,
it is more to making sure that we have proper place to pray, enough time to rest and my parents will not get tired.

Ouh yeah. The people who went to the UK are my parents, my sisters, two of my teenagers cousin and I.

Whenever we move, or where ever went, we always think about.
What if mama gets tired. What if papa got sick. Where can we perform our prayer comfortably and so on.

I will be sharing my schedule later in another post.
For now, lets look on the bright and fun side.

We went to the UK to attend my sisters' graduation and went to the cities other than London because we never done that before.
Many have said that, going outside of London is better than staying inside London.

I personally still thinks that I like London, I dont why. But I have to admit it is much calmer going outside of London. Less traffic, less crowded.

In 2014, I went to London, when I got back, I had a chit chat with my lecturer who has British citizenship. I said to him.
"I dont understand why my parents like taking the bus than the train"
then he replied
" It is better!"
and I said, "No, its not. Its so slow"

Now, its 2016. I am two years older and matured. hahaha
I have to say taking the bus is better than the train.

If you really just wanna relax the bus is the best.
You dont actually have to change bus unlike train where you have change according to the "line" that you have to take if necessary.

It takes us 45 min to arrive to my sister's graduation hall by bus but only 18 mins if we took the train. but we have to change it.
We dont feel like the bus ride was 45mins at all. because we are busy looking around. Rest and relax.

So if you are tourist and you wanna relax OR you have older people that cannot run here and there as much as a young person can, I SUGGEST YOU TAKE THE BUS.

I have changed so many of my perception towards UK. The people and the place. You cannot judge UK just by ONE visit. It changes every time you go.

At the end of the day, I still love Malaysia but still wanna go to UK. Insya Allah. I can and I will.
Well, sapa je taknak travel kan.
