GREETINGS FROM LONDON

The route from Kuala Lumpur to London

Hi, cheers from London. My family except Iza is now in London since 30th May. Visiting Along, Abang Long and our lovely grand daughter Qistyna. At the same, with God willing, we'll be attending Izad's graduating ceremony in Ireland and also visiting Athens, Greece and Monte Carlo, Monaco. Izad has successfully completed his 5 year medical study and now a doctor.

Snow on top of mountain in Afghanistan

The travel from Kuala Lmpur to London took about 13 hours. We flew over Andaman Sea, India, Afghanistan, Eastern Europe, Amsterdam then to Heathrow. It was a tiring but exciting journey.

The road from M23 leading to Croydon

On arrival, we were received by a cool and refreshing weather, around 20 degrees centigrade and met our beloved family members and our Bibik who has been with us for almost 9 years. Oh ,what a joyful reunion!!!. The only regret is that Iza is not around. She is unable to take leave from her lecturing duties.

The Tesco Hypermarket in Croydon

Today, after having a delicious nasik lemak breakfast prepared by Along And Bibik, we window shopped at Central Shopping Mall and its surrounding area. There were Italian food and jewelery stalls along the walkway. The cookies looked appetizing, so we bought some. Wow! they were really sweet and wonderful.

Abang Long, Izad and Adik BBQing

In the evening Abang Long, Along, Izad and Adik prepared a BBQ. I was really excited since I have not tasted BBQed stuffs for quite sometime. The chickens, beefs, meshmellows etc were very good. One of the best BBQs I ever had. Thanks guys!

Playing Musical Chair

Included in these happy hours was a musical chair game. All of us participated in it and Qistyna was enjoying the most.

I retired a bit exhausted but felt accomplished and grateful to God for enabling us to have a reunion and enjoyed every moment together.
