rain on me

The wind blew cruelly towards them. The freezing droplets didn't seem like it would allow A to walk peacefully in the huge city which he had arrived just now. H was taking the guests from Nottingham to the halls which they would live in during their visit. A's light brown sweater is now drenched in the cold rain and wonders if the tears of the sky would ever stop...

Nahh, not another short story, just an intro for my post on the visit in the city of Manchester...;)

It really is a huge city which you can find good, delicious, halal food almost anywhere. And for a person with a big appetite, that's definitely a good news! I kept telling others too that I wanted to eat (macam takde benda lain) when I go to Manchester. I stayed at Hafiz's and I did bump into several other Mancunians.

Well, it's not exactly a Ferris wheel. The view from above the Wheel of Manchester.

And even though it rains very often, there's still sunlight in the end...

I also told Hafiz that we have to check the weather every now and then especially when you live in countries with 4 seasons.

Of course, we went for a tour at Old Trafford

We played Foosball

Cardiff & Nottingham

When I heard the tour guide said the jerseys correspond to the seats where the players actually sit, I did this.

At the gift shop

We are from Nottingham!

Frankly, when I was at Old Trafford, I suddenly remembered a secret which I once shared with someone once upon time. Hmmm...

The scrumptious dinner

Since there are so many halal food in Manchester, I bought souvenirs for my housemates - Subway sandwiches!

Well, it was my insurance choice

Now I know how it feels like to leave Nottingham for a long time (padahal 3 hari je). I feel so great to come back home on Sunday.

Have you ever run across a highway?

In Manchester, I made new friends, met old ones, recurring characters too :), ate a lot, took some pictures, bought some souvenirs and I learned more.

What would you do?

One thing's for sure...it won't always rain on me...

everybody in love

You know you need someone
When the need is so strong
When they're gone you don't know how to go on
So the whole world is stuck in a moment
Standing still until they come back

And Nottingham Games was definitely the highlight of the previous week. It's also one of the reasons why I choose Nottingham cause there's a chance for me to meet up with my friends =)

I just realized that it's not even been 2 months since I came to Nottingham but it feels like it's been a while since I bumped into them.

Every minutes like an hour
Every hours like a day
Every day lasts forever
But what else am I gonna do
I'd wait forever and a day for you

And I didn't even get to spend a lot of time with them, but I believe there is a next time...several next times...

Anyway, it's my birthday again! I did several cool things today which I enjoyed which eventually made me remember of the things that I would like to do before I die.

Plus, now I know my birthday in Hijrah calendar - 4th of Rabiulakhir (Rabi Al-Thani) 1410. Click here to find out yours.

To my friends, I hope to meet you again, and so...I wait up, wait up for you...
