I can call this as a Daring Experience.

Assalamualaikum~ or Salam Sejahtera. (cheh. ;P)

How's everyone doing? This week highlights are pretty much adventurous I might say. Lol. It started on Friday, which was on the 16th, we four went to Cardiff and stayed in our friends' house. The night was as cold as your whole body is in a freezer. =.= and their heater were not working too.

It was the very first time I ever woke up that early ever since arriving in UK , 4 am. o.o We had to depart from Cardiff so we could catch the cruise on time in London. So, it took about 3 hours, resting the butt on the bus. T.T London's weather were okay, not as cold as what we felt on the night before in Cardiff.

I guessed about hundreds of Brunei people came for the Raya Celebration held by BSU (Brunei Student Union). They arrived with pretty happy faces and colorful baju Melayu clothes. The cruise is not that bad, it's quite big, a double story and has small bars in each floor.

We were served with Malay foods from Bonda Restaurant such as Daging Rendang, Ayam... (idk what masakan was that, lol) and Sayur Campur. The food was not bad. We had the chance to sit during the lunch although we booked standing tickets for £10 each person. There was no difference at all with the seating tickets though.

There were also performances and lucky draws. The Swansea-ians (which are US) were the lucky ones to get 3 lucky draws out of 5. :D Excited much!

At first, the environment was boring to be honest. We (me and jas) were feeling a bit gloomed since our friend, Fariza couldn't come. And same goes to Muaz, the expected friends weren't there too.

As the cruise called Dixie Queen was sailing, we just hang out outside and feel the freshing windy cool air~ Arif (Akinari) and the friends entertained us with some crazy scenes and actions they made. That was fun a little bit. :))

From afternoon till 4pm, we had the chance to see the Tower of London where the bridge was opened and closed twice. I was stunned, sakai lah konon nya and mesmerized much as the first timer. :D

That was all we did apart from taking a lot of photos too. ;) All of the photos you can check it on my facebook, just browse them through. ;)

Then, we went back straightaway to Cardiff with the Bruneians who stay in Cardiff. and lululala, 3 hours again~ huhu.

The night was getting so cold as we reached Cardiff. We decided to go back home as we 4 were homesick of our homey house.

Here comes the history I ever experienced in UK. When we were on the way back to Cardiff we had already browsed and checked the train time schedule. We decided to ride on at 11 pm at most. As soon as we were ready and packed our stuff in, we 'zoomed' straightly to the Cardiff Central Station. Time appeared around 10.45pm I guessed, when we reached in the station.

We walked to the pathway and looked for Platform 3. On the way up to the first floor, I heard a man shouted "SWANSEA...", then I saw some people ran over to catch the train. We were a few meters away from the train itself. With the luggages we brought, we ran as quick as we could. That was pretty funny! hahah. We were the last to go into the train and Alhamdulilah nasib sampat and tebubut. Pheww.

The train was a different one from the previous train that we rode on. It looks a bit old and low-standard but fast. We didn't get the seats as we were the late comers but after a few stops there were seats available.

Overall journey on the train was a bit scary and worrying because there got drunken people inside. O_O
I guessed the train is the cheapest one a lot rides with it, and moreover, it was a Saturday night. These people just came from Pubs I bet.


Finally, at 12 midnight, Alhamdulilah we arrived safely TAPI it was frigging COLD!! It was really a cold day I tell you, winter is coming and the weather will be even even more colder. I was really numb and nothing felt warm. Lips were dried and shaking. How I wished I was near the wood or corn stove and hot chocolates served together with chocolate chips cookies. HAHAHA. Over tiaaaaa~~ ;P

So yeah, that was it. Enjoy reading? Hahaha. Woah, I think this is the longest story I ever posted in my blog. :D Sorry if it's humdrum and dull.

Okiess~ Just check my facebook up for the photos. :D :D

Take care readers.

Cheers.
