Barcelona Te Queiro

itu hari saya dan Ami pergi ke Barcelona. had to leave Faressa in UK because she loves Harry Potter too much to leave him just yet. hahaha!
in Barcelona, the best way to get around to tourist attractions, is by Hop on/off bus. ni takde ek system "ON TOUR" and sms ke 32111 untuk mendapatkan perkhidmatan tour. hahhaaha!! ok lawak tak kelakar. sorry. =p

SO!
Barcelona!
memang awesome la the place!
especially the buildings!! if you're into architecture & art, you'll definitely love Barcelona!
i tell you, every building is different than the other! UNIQUE GILAAAAAA!!! sila sediakan tissue sebab anda (mungkin) akan nangis selepas melihat gambar gambar awesome di bawah:

Casa Batllo


pintu paling gangsta i pernah jumpa



ok this house (it's a HOUSE, ok. HOUSE), has almost no straight lines!! unbelievable? believe it! hahaa! memang cool gila. the house will make you feel as if you're living underwater. and ze roof, super awesome. it's inspired by dragon scales! cantik kan? 

La Pedrera




now this is the just the rooftop. all those weird whatever face thingys, they are ventilation towers. doesn't it remind you a bit of Star Wars, the clone troopers? kan kan kan?! *que Star Wars theme song*

La Sagrada Familia


this is a church, and it's really really big!! do you see Clone Troopers? coz i do. hahaha!
*que Star Wars theme song*

Camp Nou




saya ni bukan peminat bola sangat. tetapi itu brothers and boipren ah, manyak suka sama ini team so saya manyak beli baju untuk meleka sebab saya manyak sayang sama meleka. meleka better sayang saya lebih sekalang.
hahaha!

oh and we went to the beach!
ada gaya Flamenco dancer tak? memang tak la kan. gaya mintak penampo ada la. 



ini pantai manyak best ok! angin sepoi sepoi bahasa spanish, budak budak running around and trying to get tanned. kesian you kids. sebab i kejap je dah tanned. speaking of tans..

i got quite tanned after menjemurkan diri touring and stuff. tak caye? tengok ni:
ok fine tak tan sangat.

Mahkota Manchester

you know how traveling by bus in Malaysia is way faster than the train?

well, my cousins and i expected the same in UK. turns out, it's the opposite there.
the trains are wayyyyyyy faster than the buses!

so from London, my cousins and i took the bus to Manchester, and guess what. it took us 8 hours!!!
if we took the train, we could've reached there in 2+ hours.
cis!
tapi sebab the bus was a lot cheaper, so of course.. biasa lah orang ber-budget kan..

anyway, you have to know.
in UK, there are NO R&Rs.
kalau ada pun, aiseymannnnn!!!! tak stop punnnn!!
midway, i wanted to kenc but i had to tahan for a longgg timeeee!
there was a toilet in the bus, but cuba you imagine. dalam bus tu ada about 40 ppl max. men + women + kids.
and then imagine the bus, on the road.
imagine having to peeeeeeee in a moving bus, and you know there are people around.
imagine all the butts that touched the toilet seat. and all the 'misses' if you know what i mean..
oh gosh.
i don't want to write more coz i already feel nauseated by it.

good thing was that along the way to Manchester, the view was amazing!
trees everywhere, lalang that have pretty purple and pink flowers (kalau kat malaysia, lalang nampak cam lalang), sheeps and cows yang gemuk gemuk and sihat, fields and more fields!
oh syok la tengok.

i wish i took some pictures of it, but i couldn't capture any coz i sat at the isle and next to me is the hot black mamasita with lips as pouty as jennifer hudson's, so i dare not stretch my arm to her side for pictures. oh well. it's in my mind, so hopefully it'll stay there =D

i went to Manchester already before on my first ever Eurotrip with my friends and i covered all the tourist stuff. so when i went there recently, i just chilled with my cousins and my aunty. =D

silverton grove where grover was born =p

meet Irfan. seluar paras punggung is never outdated there. =p

jakun with ponies

horsieee!

ma, nak yang ni maaaa! =p

we would've taken the horses or ponies back to London, but i don't think that's legal. haha!
and because we couldn't stomach another 8hours of traveling, we took the train and alhamdulillah we got first class tickets for the price of a standard coach! woooot!!

tamak siot.


now here's a story to this picture.

before my cousins and i left Malaysia, we called our grandmother, Tokmak comel.
here's our conversation (more or less):

Tokmak: Ena, ena jaga diri baik baik kat sana~ jangan happy sangat.
Ena: jangan happy sangat? nape lak?
Tokmak: hey! kat sini happy sikit sikit. nanti kat sana baru happy banyak banyak.
Ena: hahaha!! ooohhhh!! ok ok. ena tak happy sangat dah =B tokmak jaga diri tauu! sayang ena tak?
Tokmak: eh kau ni. mestilah aku sayang!
Ena: ena favourite tokmak kan? hahaha!!
Tokmak: tokmak takde feberet pun laaa! eh kau tu. ni aku nak nasehat. bila kat sanaaa, haaa, ko jaga mahkota kau! ko tau mahkota?
Ena: ya Allah Tokmak! ena akan jaga mahkota ena, dont worry! hehe!
Tokmak: ha bagus. ko tengok tengok kan si ami ngan baby tu. ko jaga mahkota diorang!
Ena: haa?? ena jaga mahkota diorang? geli la tokmak! hehehehe!
Tokmak: ye la! ko tengok kan diorang tu. tau?
Ena: ok tokmak. ena jaga mahkota diorang. hehe!!
Tokmak: pastu kirim salam kat sume orang. ko jangan lupa!

...and our conversation continued pasal benda lain but i don't think i should write them up. =)
apparently, Tokmak told Ami and Baby to look after their mahkota as well. cuma i had the extra responsibility of looking after mine AND theirs. hehehehehehee! tokmak comel la, =D

so when we saw the train with 'Virgin' on it, teringat gila kat tokmak, hence the picture!! Tokmak, kitorang naik Mahkota!!
hahahahhaahahahahah!!

ps: barangsiapa tak paham mahkota tu apa, maka biarlah anda tak paham. maybe your time is not now to understand, but someday soon. insyallah. =p

Maria Potter pun boleeeehhhhhh

i don't think anyone really understands my love for Harry Potter.
yes, i'm 23+ years old.
yes, i'm a working person already.
yes, i'm not a child.
i know, i know.

but i grew up reading the books. i learnt English by reading the books. 
i grew to know that love between friends is just as important as love with our family.
i grew to understand the right things to do are not always the easiest.
i learnt about the power of will.
oh gosh.. banyak la sampai nak nangis kalau i write it all up! hehe!

so when i went to UK with my cousins, i had the amazing opportunity to go to HARRY POTTER'S LAST MOVIE PREMIERE! ok just the red carpet la. i didn't watch the movie then. ish. sabar la.
=p

cuppa tea in Trafalgar Square anyone?
see this red/yellow scarfed person with pencil-eyeliner-ed scar on the forehead? well, it's my forehead, and that Gryffindor scarf, i knitted it myself. ohhh yeaaahhh. muahahaha!

see that sea of crowd? see their flags? we're fans from all over the world! =D
hoooo yeaaahhhhhh

 see that ginger-haired boy?
that's my bebeh Rupert Grint.
hooo yeaaaaahhhh

see that gorgeous pixie-haired bebeh?
that's my bebeh Emma Watson.
hoooooo yeaaaaahhhhh

see that blonde mamasita?
that's my hero (apart from Mama & Abah).
The Woman Who Changed My Life.
that's my bebeh, JK Rowling.
hoooooo yeaaaaaahhhhh

it was such an amazing experience!!

nevermind the number of smelly people pushing through trying to grab the Harry Potter casts that walked past us, nevermind the rain, cold and having to stand up for more than 6 hours, nevermind being surrounded by people who looked at us as if we're some crazy bunch of people without anything better to do.
never mind all that! 
because what matters to me is that Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, Ron Weasley, Professor Dumbledore, Professor Snape, Voldemort and all the amazing people in Harry Potter books, were just one arm stretch away from me. can't have that anywhere else kan. =p

and what touched me the most, was this:
OLOLOLOOOO!!! sweet nya kau Rupert Grint and Emma Watson!
they were getting all emotional about the last movie and separating and stuff. i can understand la how that feels..
even i cried ok! hehe!

so that's me with my bebeh Daniel Radcliffe on the screen behind moi.
and yes, that is a vaseline lotion i was holding so dearly in my hand. 
hahaha!



now, i don't know if there were any other Malaysians in the crowd other than my cousins and myself, but i know, i'm one hardcore Harry Potter fan.


Sekian, terima kasih JK Rowling.
for my childhood.
='D

ps: i am still wearing the HP band! teeheee!
