Celebrating the 'Eid in London

Hey people of earth and beyond :D


Minal Aidin Wal Faizin, or in other words 'Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri..
To all, especially my family in Brunei..
and not to forget all the bloggers and readers..

Since this was my very first time staying here in London..and ofcourse the first time ever celebrating the 'Eid in London, honestly..i didnt felt for the excitment, or.. the 'Raya fever (can i say)..although i was really excited before, when i heard we are staying in London for the whole one month..but after like 5 days..i miss my family, i miss my friends..and most of all-i miss Brunei..

And seriously im saying; the mood for Raya just wasnt there for me..'hehs..first reason being very far away from famalies..second reason theres just no one to visit..and somehow this makes me want to add a third reason; no one giving the ampau for us' haha..nahh im just kidding..

But one thing i missed most is staying awake late in the Hari Raya 'eve (can i say) waiting for fireworks cracking every where in the sky..but here in London..it was differ than i expected, there was not even a spark of fireworking in the sky, except just the dark sky and the sound of cars driving by..

Ps; hope you liked the picture of 'London Bridge above..though i modified (photoshop) from its original..you know, since we're in London just want to picture the suroundings here in this festive month..

Oohh..forgot one more thing; Maaf Zahir Batin..hehe..

Duck!!!

Hey people of earth, and beyond :D

Hows everything doing in Brunei...?
Why i asked? its because i missed Brunei, although its been my 3rd day staying here in London..but honestly, im saying, im missing Brunei..and the Festive 'Eid is comming, infact tomorrow we're waiting for the announcment wether they spotted the moon of Syawal..if not its up to Wednesday for celebartion...

So today, went for a walk in a park on the other side of the street...park named after 'Hyde...
Hyde park that is..all i can say, the park is full of people, animals especially dogs are running around everywhere..tree's are big, huge, enormous..there was a lake nearby so we decided to check it out..the park was very big, so we didnt got the chance to walk around the whole area..
Although, it was very fascinating exploring natural beauty...


Shadow of the day..

Beautiful. though i forgot the name of the statue..

What a coincidence..the sculpture covering its face from the sun.


A bridge..


The lake, just naturally beautiful.
Embarassingly, this was my first time seeing a 'goose..

A closer view of Mr.Goose mC. im not a duck.hehe..

We're in the United Kingdom..

Hey people of earth, and beyond :D

17 hours...17 hours sitting in the aeroplane..painfull??-Not really..hehe..
So we have reached London, although 3 days ago actually, and we'll be staying here for the whole 1 month..the voyage (can i say) its been really tyring but infact kind of interesting....

We were on board on the Royal Brunei..It was really kinda exiting since we're gonna land on Dubai before our last destination for Heathrow, London..Its not really bad though abording on Royal Brunei for a long journey, because of the threatment...it was very impresive comparing to onboarding for a while like 2 hours at least...i can tell...i was enjoying the 'sky show' the new installed television on each seat..Latest movies were setted for passengers entertainment..

Talking about London..i am really'really greatfull to be here...after such a long journey from Brunei.

I was really suprised when i first stepped out of the airport when breeze comming out from my mouth every time i breathe out..hmmphh...whats the word for that..hehe..than i started feeling the actuall temperature of London..way cooler than i imagined..but its time to face the fact...im in London..haha..

Reminder.... 3 layers of thick clothing...

The Bayswater subway station...cheers*


Mine's truely....hehe..

London streets in the morning..

You can already see how cold it is...'Shivering..

Traffic.....

Spider web, hanging on a wired fence..
Oxford street...photo shot by Dad..
Double Decker..been there, done that :D
Blueberries, strawberies, oranges, apples, peaches, grapes..what more could we ask for.
Making sure every resataurent we tracked has this sign sticked.

A man lived for more than 15 years in an airport?

Hey people of earth. and beyond :D


A man lives in a Paris airport — for more than 15 years. Is that really true or just a Hollywood creation? Read this and iWaly shows it all.

Yep. Sound like the plot of the 2004 Tom Hanks movie "The Terminal"? Well, the film is loosely based on the real-life story of Mehran Karimi Nasseri.
A native of Iran, Nasseri was expelled from his country in 1977 for his political views and spent the next few years seeking asylum in Europe. He was finally granted refugee status in Belgium, but eventually decided to go back to England, where he had gone to school. In 1988 he boarded a flight from Paris to London. However, his briefcase containing all his refugee papers had been stolen at a train station in France, and he was detained at Heathrow airport and sent back to Paris.
Here's where it gets interesting: Due to a combination of international bureaucracy, uncooperative government officials and Nasseri's own stubbornness, he took up residence in the departure lounge of Terminal One at the Charles de Gaulle airport. He lived there until 2006, when he fell ill and was taken to a hospital. Since March 2007, he has been living in a Paris homeless shelter.

Its official

Hey people of earth, and beyond :D

The Sprouse Brothers celebrating their 16th Birthday Last August, in Habbo's virtual, a hotel in LA with some celebrities and Fans..

So Dylan and Cole are 16 now..hmmphh..honestly didnt expected that one...From watching the show of 'The suite life of zack and cody' never imagined they would turned out 16 for this year..because in the show they were aged 7-11..i've always thought they were like 13 currently, but from hearing news, articles etc..read about they celebrated their 16th Birthday this year...so surfed the internet..wO, they are really 16..and there was one time before i tought i was older than them..*Sigh.

.Other articles i've read.

Dylan and Cole are back as Zack and Cody on the new spin-off show 'The Suite Life on Deck' which will premeire on the 26th September 8PM on Disney Channel..but sadly after this show it will be the last of Zack and Cody.. because the Sprouse Brothers are not going to continue their acting as Zack and Cody..ie. This will be the Last of The Suite Life..


More information about the show;

In "The Suite Life on Deck," Dylan and Cole are back as Zack and Cody, but now they're living on a cruise ship instead of in a hotel. It's High School at Sea, and the boys, along with London Tipton (Brenda Song) are attending the program and living aboard the SS Tipton, a luxury cruise liner owned by London's father. Along for the ride are Mr. Moseby (Phill Lewis) to manage the ship, and his niece Mia (Giovonnie Samuels).

The series introduces new characters as roommates for each of the boys and for London. That's right, London has to rough it in close quarters with a roommate and less closet space. But some things never change, and Zack and Cody will continue to get into mischief on the high seas of high school.
