Lama x post apa2 sbb since Friday hari tu gi ibu negeri Negara Naga Merah - Cardiff, Wales. Pegi buat Biometric scan utk urusan visa dkt UKBA nya home office, so sambil menyelam minum air la kan. Utk makluman, Cardiff adalah bandar terdekat ngan Plymouth yg ada UKBA office ni, so nak x nak 'terpaksa' la travel jg.
Sbnarnya letih x brp nak hilang lg, dgn hari ni sehari suntuk duk kemas2 dan did laundry apa benda kan, ye lah, dah nama nya travel. Demi x menghampa kan readers yg dtg menjenguk (knock, knock, ada ke?), update la sket and buh pics seketoi dua. Cerita pjg akan follow soon, Insya Allah.
[1] This was drawn a few days before the trip to Cradiff. Mcm tau2 je org nak gi Cardiff, dia dah lukis gmbr bendera Wales dulu hehe. Ada rupa kan?
[2] Train from Plymouth - Bristol Temple Meads - Cardiff Central. Amik yg jam 8.25 pg. Mmg dah autumn, lovely colours around.
[3] Mcm2 aktiviti spjg 3 jam travel. Nama je 3 jam, tp kalo travel dgn budak2, biasa la, rasa mcm twice that long, especially on a public transport! Campur ngan aku yg mudah mabuk perjalanan, lg la rasa lama train ni, nak2 winter when they put the heating full blast. Very stuffy. Poning makk...
[4] Dah sampai pon. Kejakunan mula melanda diri sbb bahasa Welsh ni terasa begitu foreign skali. Aku pon x pasti Wales ni satu negara ke negeri, tp for sure, rasa mcm jejak negara eropah kih kih..
[5] Jalan2 around town dulu sket2. Mmg terasa Plymouth begitu solok skali kalo dibandingkan dgn Cardiff. Tiba2 mata jd luas tgk shopping complexes berderet2... berderet2... berderet2...
[6] Meriah! Shoppers pon ramai. I loike!
[7] Eh, on the way, terserempak ngan bgnan Computer Science & Engineering Cardiff Uni la. Verangan kjp, kalo jd student sini mesti menjadi penghuni bgnan ni, heh.
[8] Mkn bekal lunch kat park jap, sambil2 tggu waktu appointment.
[9] Ni dia bgnan yg dicari - UKBA Home Office. Sejam lbh sket la settle urusan di sini. Ingatkan dah lama tu, rupanya average waiting time adalah 2 hours and 15 minutes. Count your blessings people, count your blessings!
[9] Masa ni tgh cari makanan Halal dan masjid. Tgk peta mcm dkt, skali tipah tertipu betul. Dgn mengendong beg hiking bagai, menapak. Org Cardiff pon x de buat ni weih. Sampai2 masjid, pintu plak kunci. Ammarah nya. Balik town naik taxi huh.
[10] Mlm tu tido sini - Travelodge Pencoed. Nape x tido Cardiff City ajo? Well, sbb esok nak gi MacArthur Glen Retail Outlet di Bridgend (dkt dgn Pencoed). So kisah di Bridgend sambung esok naaa? Ikuti kisah seterusnya ok? Nak tidoooo dulu ni :)
PS: Tulisan Welsh adalah sgt comel. Lain ditulis, lain dibaca. 'Ford Allan' (Way Out) tu rupanya pronounced Ford Ashkhen. Bahasa dia tu aku dgr mcm byk pakai huruf Kho la, kalo ikut huruh hijaiyah kita, English x dak ni. Lagi satu, tempat kitaorg menginap, Pencoed, pronounced Pen-kooy-d. Nasib x sebut Pen-ko-ed masa nak beli tiket kih kih kih. Tp org dia peramah sgt. Tu yg sempat belajar phonics diorg atas train lg tu, sambil bual2 ngan makcik sblh, dia ajar cara baca sket2 hehe.
