Karachi-Kuala Lumpur : 3-in-1
Thursday, October 11, 2012
Good Morning Vietnam
Destinasi seterusnya...Ho Chin Minh atau lebih dikenali sebagai Saigon.
Sekadar jalan-jalan ditengah minggu, dengan pesawat B738, cuaca hujan yang agak lebat sewaktu mendarat di SGN (kod 3 huruf untuk destinasi ini)- ianya suatu pengalaman baru buat saya dan isteri.
Dengan tanpa tujuan untuk membeli-belah, hanya sekadar melawat tempat baru dan menziarahi sahabat lama yang bertugas disana.

2nd term 1988/1989- 1st week
Dedicate this note to my sons,nieces and nephews who had to go through the struggle,"pain",.....(u name it) to complete their studies ....All the best!!!
09Jan1989 - Some how i missed the morning lecture on the first lecture of the day for the 2nd term study for the year 1988/1989.Not much exciting news for the day except a jet crash on M1 (British called it motorway instead of highway as defined by Malaysian).The motorway was located in the East Midland of Great Britain. Very unfortunate- 44 people died. What a tragic incident!!!
10Jan1989- Had the chance to play volleyball in th evening after the 2hours lecture on Computer Studies.
11Jan1989-After attending college for the subject known as 360 for an hour, i went to Tottenham Court Road - a bookshop known as Dillon Bookshop. We had the Islamic Society discussion at college too. As part of the committee members for the Club under my campus, West Ham, it was our duty to ensure various activities are held for the members as well as exposing the information much on Islam to the non-muslim, especially the students who are young and very keen to know about our religion and some of them are searching for the truth about life.
12Jan1989- Had 2 lectures on the day ie Statistics and Computing studies.
13Jan1989- It was well remembered. Friday the 13th!!! We had a lecture by a new lecturer came from the main campus, Barking precinct - Mr. Ken Gowers. In the evening, i played squash with Ross at Barking Sports Centre. Went to Ross's house after the game and at the same had the chance to understand a programming language from him - APL! (i donot think i remember the language by now)
14Jan1989 -As usual, we went to market to buy groceries for the week.Tried to complete the coursework for Mr.Saebi (one of my Iraqis' lecturers). Stayed a night at Wak's house.
15Jan1989 - Even it was a Sunday, i had no choice but to do revision. My final year for the course. Also managed to rewrite the essay for the final year thesis. My study partner and only nearest coursemate around my housing area, Miss Sangeeta came to house for a discussuion on Statistics. Very proud of her, despite had to sit for another year of examination after failed in the previous year, she was determined to work hard. As a good gesture, i became her study partner. After all, her house was not far away from my house in East Ham.
Over the week (on the first week of 2nd term 1988/1989), i recorded that i had completed of 12 hours (not much really!!) of own study (4 subjects) in the evening as part of my preparation for the final examination in Jun1989.

My last Summer Holidays :1989
It was summer holidays-my last Summer holiday before i leave the country,Britain.
19 June1989.
It was the second week of Summer Holidays after my final exam.Woke up late on monday morning. Went to bank to buy the travellers cheque valued GBP50. I couldnot recall why i wanted the travellers cheque.It was a surprise that i received an application form for the part-time job that i applied earlier. the job was related to the coming event which took place in the city of London. It was the tall ship events in conjuction with the 800th anniversary (1189-1989)City of London:Lord Mayor.
20June1989
I played table-tennis in Barking followed by the real tennis (the cement court) in the afternoon at East Ham. My coursemate, Samin called and asked about my activities. Actually, we intended to go Europe in the next few weeks.
21June1989
It was like a crash course for me to learn tennis. This time, i had the chance to play tennis with Samin.It was a bad Wednesday for Londoners as London Transports was on strike again. i could not recall how many times the strike occurred on Wednesdays in the year 1989. It was about the money that they wanted like salary increment, additional perks for the staff. But the best part is that the strike was made known to public in advance for them (especially the workers) be ready to find alternative mode of transport to work or make a day off.
22June1989
Went to Haniff's house, my malaysian friend who studied at LSE.He was preparing to move to another new house.
24June1989
Received a letter.I got the part time job which i wanted badly to earn some money for my Summer Holidays. Have to report to work in the following week for 2 weeks. Shon came to my house and as usual without fail, i continued my "tennis lesson" with him- that time. FKA called me to inform about her plan to travel Europe in the following week.
25June1989
It was a beautiful and sunny Sunday. My house mates,Mahfiz and i went to Kew Gardens for a picnic. Not forgetting, someone brought the radio (even not allowed in the public park for listening loudly). We brought sandwiches and cookies too. Kew Gardens was known for its green. A very big and huge garden where we can find the tropical plants like coconut tree, banana tree in their special Summer Garden. In the museum, you can find the rubber tree which was introduced in Malaya in early days of British occupation. Remember: Who brought the rubber tree to Malaya (must open History book).

ONE DAY TRAVEL CARD:LONDON
Sekadar catatan buat teman-teman yang sama-sama mengharungi perjalanan sekitar ibukota London
Saya mula mengenali kad ini seawal 1986 bila kami perlu ke Central London (atau lebih tepat Malaysia Hall yang terletak di Bryanston Square. Tube yang terdekat ialah Marble Arch (central line). Waktu itu cuma GBP 1.60 (bagi tahun 1986) untuk semua zon. ketika itu ada Zon 1,2,3A,3B dan 3C. Tahun 1988 setelah 2 tahun berada di London, kadnya dinaikkan ke GBP 2.00. Tahun seterusnya Zon bagi One Day Travel card bertukar kepada Zon 1 hingga Zon 5.
Yang lebih menariknya, kad ini boleh dipakai sepanjang hari dan boleh menaiki semua bas yang berwarna merah (Red London Bus) dan semua perkhidmatan kereta api bawah tanah (dikenali sebagai tube ) sekitar London.
Kami pelajar Malaysia (ketika itu-1986) yang ditempatkan di St Mary College mula mengenali stesen keretapi bawah tanah South Woodford.Terletak di laluan utama (central line). Perjalanan ke stesen Marble Arch menggunakan keretapi tersebut (tube) mengambil masa sekitar 1 jam daripada South Woodford. Dalam tempoh sebulan, setiap hari Jumaat kami ke Marble Arch untuk menunaikan solat Jumaat di Malaysia Hall.
Bagi pelajar yang menuntut di Kampus Utama NELP (North East London Polytechnic) yang terletak di Dagenham, Stesen keretapi Laluan District(District Line) Barking tidaklah asing bagi mereka yang menjadi tumpuan untuk mengambil tube apabila hendak ke Central London. Bagi pelajar di Kampus Holbrook, stesen utama ialah Plaistow yang juga terdapat kedai barangan orang-orang Asia.
Ingin tahu berapa harga One Day Travel Card Sekarang?
Sekitar GBP 7 hingga GBP 9 bergantung kepada zon yang dilalui.

2Hari 1Malam- Program Firqah ....
 |
| Tugasan mula diserahkan kepada pelajar sebelum memulakan perjalanan Program Firqah 2012. |
SABTU14APRIL2012:MASJID TANAH.
Keluarga saya menawarkan diri untuk menjadi tuanrumah kepada 3 pelajar Imtiaz Melaka bermalam di rumah kami di Kuala Lumpur. Program Firqah diberi nama. Pelajar bersama dengan anak kepada keluarga tersebut dikehendaki memenuhi tugasan yang telah diberikan sepanjang mereka berada bersama keluarga anak.Saya dan isteri diberi tugas sebagai ibu dan bapa angkat kepada mereka. Disini tugasan diberikan kepada dua-dua pihak untuk memenuhi objektif yang dikehendaki sekolah.
Terdahulu, pihak sekolah telah menganjurkan jaulah jiran yang memberi pendedahan kepada pelajar-pelajar untuk mengenali jiran yang berdekatan dengan sekolah disamping merapatkan hubungan silatulrahim diantara mereka. Kemudian, program jaulah Masjid yang mendedahkan pelajar kepada masyarakat setempat dan ahli masjid kariah tersebut. Disamping menunaikan solat di masjid, beriktikaf, membaca alQuran bersama-sama di Masjid.
Tepat jam 10pagi, 3 pelajar yang terpilih, Ammar,Safwan dan Hakimi menyertai anak saya Adam untuk pulang ke rumah kami di Kuala Lumpur. Perjalanan mengambil masa kurang dari 2 jam.
Dimulakan dengan Bismillah dan disudahi dengan Alhamdulilah.Makanan tengah hari disajikan buat anak-anak Imtiaz di Kompleks Muhibah, Taman Nirwana memandangkan masa yang suntuk untuk kami sekeluarga menyediakan makanan bagi waktu tengah hari.
Antara tugasan yang perlu dilaksanakan oleh anak- anak Imtiaz ialah solat berjemaah dan makan bersama keluarga Angkat. Dalam hubungan mengenali masyarakat setempat keluarga angkat, anak-anak Imtaz juga perlu mengenali sekurang-kurangnya 3 orang tanpa mengenal usia atau pangkat.
 |
| Ammar,Safwan,Hakimi dan Adam bersama Raffee(yang berdiri) untuk minum petang. |
Hujan pada waktu petang Sabtu itu menggagalkan mereka bermain bola bersama-sama dengan rakan-rakan Adam. Walaubagaiamanapun, agak menarik mereka dapat berkenalan dengan jiran yang kebetulan singgah di rumah kami. Apalagi Auntie Zila menjadi mangsa yang pertama! Hakimi menjadi pencatat nota, manakala Ammar dan Safwan memulakan bicara untuk menemubual Auntie Zila! Disini dapat kita lihat kemahiran anak-anak berinteraksi dengan kenalan baru. Mereka juga berkesempatan mengenali Rafee, anak auntie Zila yang turut sama menyertai minum petang di rumah kami.Orang ketiga yang mereka temubual dan berkenalan adalah Akhi Adam, abang Adam yang masih menuntut di Tingkatan Lima.
 |
| Bersama-sama membaca AlQuran selepas Solat Maghrib. |
Maghrib menjelang. Sesudah solat berjemaah, tugasan seterusnya bermula. Mereka berempat membaca Surah Arrahman. Untuk tidak menghampakan anak-anak yang belum pernah menjejakkan kaki ke kawasan sekitar bandaraya Kuala Lumpur, kami bersama-sama solat berjemaah di Masjid KLCC.
BERSAMBUNG....................................................../1

Januari 1989 - Cambridge, Surat dari seberang dan Kertas Kursus yang belum selesai.
Isnin 02Januari 1989
Selasa 03Januari1989.
Tepat jam 9.35pagi, keretapi kami berlepas dari Stesen Liverpool Street. Perjalanan yang tidak dirancang.Menemani sahabat serumah Khalizan ke Cambridge,salah satu universiti termasyhur di UK.
Kami sampai jam 10.40 pagi. Hampir kesemua kawasan kolej di Universiti Cambridge kami lawati. Yang penting, Khalizan dapat mengambil gambar-gambar dan maklumat yang diperlukan untuk projeknya (Architecture).
Sesuatu yang agak pelik. Kuliah sebahagian pelajar di sini adalah didalam gereja lama yang dijadikan lecture hall. Yang menarik, sebahagian besar masyarakat sekeliling Cambridge adalah pelajar-pelajar
dan mereka gemar berbasikal sekitar kolej dan pekan Cambridge.
Kami pulang sekitar jam 4 petang setelah selesai tugasan dan pusing sekitar pusat membeli belah di Cambridge.
Hari ini, saya menerima dua pucuk surat yang menarik. Pertama, Zahir,rakan sebilik sewaktu di Shah Alam dulu yang sudahpun lulus dan menerima Ijazah dalam bidang Ekonomi pada Disember 1988. Kedua, surat dari seorang rakan kelas AUSMAT yang masih menuntut di UUM (teka siapa?).
Cuba untuk menyelesaikan kertas kursus dan tugasan yang diberi oleh Dr.Saebi (salah seorang pensyarah kolej dari Iraq). Menonton perlawanan bolasepak EPL secara langsung bagi mengisi masa lapang sebelum meneruskan ulangkaji pelajaran yang lalu.
Subjek 256- 2 jam. Subjek 360 -2 jam.

London-Manchester-Paris - Dis11 -bahagian 2
26Disember-Kota London-Oxford Street.
Dua peristiwa yang tak sepatutnya kami lihat sewaktu membeli-belah di Oxford Street,London.
Pertama, seorang wanita sekitar 30an cuba keluar dari sebuah kedai dengan membawa pakaian dan beg tangan tanpa membayarnya (shoplifting) dan bergelut dengan dengan pengawal keselamatan kedai tersebut sebelum lari keluar kedai.
Kedua, pembunuhan seorang remaja 16 tahun dihadapan sebuah kedai sukan di Oxford Street setelah bergaduh diantara dua kumpulan remaja. Berlaku sekitar 2 petang ketika kami sekeluarga ingin pulang ke hotel.
Perjalanan hari pertama tidak menjanjikan apa-apa. sekadar melihat kesibukan Kota London dengan ratusan manusia yang mencari peluang untuk membeli barangan yang dihajati. Ini merupakan kali pertama saya menyertai ratusan manusia yang lain membeli-belah pada Boxing Day di London walaupun pernah tinggal selama 3 tahun di UK.
Anak saya menaruh harapan agar permintaannya ditunaikan keesokan hari.
Here we go : Manchester.......

Dua peristiwa yang tak sepatutnya kami lihat sewaktu membeli-belah di Oxford Street,London.
Pertama, seorang wanita sekitar 30an cuba keluar dari sebuah kedai dengan membawa pakaian dan beg tangan tanpa membayarnya (shoplifting) dan bergelut dengan dengan pengawal keselamatan kedai tersebut sebelum lari keluar kedai.
Kedua, pembunuhan seorang remaja 16 tahun dihadapan sebuah kedai sukan di Oxford Street setelah bergaduh diantara dua kumpulan remaja. Berlaku sekitar 2 petang ketika kami sekeluarga ingin pulang ke hotel.

Went for my friday prayer at Malaysia Hall. Earlier went to see my dentist at Romford Road .A lovely couple that run the clinic for years. Dr Patel and wife. Well managed clinic.
It was the best ever day i had in London after almost 3 years abroad.
It was the day when my final exam result is announced.
Guess what ..I got 2.1 (2nd Class Upper- Honours) in my final exam.
My other Malaysian friend, the girl got 1st class. Only 4 of the students got the 1st Class.
We were treated by Mohamad at his house to celebrate our success in past exam.

MELAKA 2012
Untuk pertama kalinya, saya menjejakkan kaki ke Pantai Tanjung Bidara,Melaka. Terletak bersebelahan dengan Kem Terendak Melaka.Kali terakhir (pertama kalinya), saya menjejaki kaki ke Kem Terendak bila bapa saudara sebelah ibu (Ayah Chor) bertugas di KemTerendak sekitar tahun 1977 dan kebetulan kami sekeluarga menghadiri majlis perkahwinan Ayahnda Mohd.Yunos b.Musa (sepupu ibu saya) di Tengkera,Melaka.

London: Study,Holidays and freedom of .....: Sep 1986

08 September 1986
The English classes continued. We had Mr.Stand Hussey and Mrs. Ackyed (our English lecturers) in the afternoon session. We were divided into few classes as to accommodate 40 of us. In the morning, i had the chance to go nearby laundrette to clean all my clothes since we arrived. All this while, until we found the laundrette, we washed ourselves at the bathroom. Consider just like when we were in boarding school (to some of us back in Malaysia.note:to me, i do not go to boarding school..only joined the group when we were in Shah Alam where for the first time i learnt about living on your own..away from parents).
Days after days, class after class with different things to learn we have to go and prepare for the real university lectures!!!
Kind of get used to the way English speaks and understand their cultures at the same time. For example, we get to know that there are so many English newspaper were printed in London. We only thought they have only The Times (equivalent to our New Straits Times), The Daily Mail (perhaps same version as our Malay Mail) but in reality, there are more than 6 publications.
Perhaps, the fastest to read (or rather read through) and the best to view would be the tabloid one!! The Sun, Daily Mirror.(Opps…the guy would love to see Page 3 girl..of course..half-sensored photo of the chosen model of the day . In the late afternoon, they have Evenings Standard with the hot and latest news..at all tube/train stations.One thing i like most is the British likes reading and will read everywhere they are..waiting for a bus, standing in the train, sit in the tube. They will leave the paper in train or bus so that someone can continue enjoying read it..They also like doing crosswords (or now sudoku) while they are in the train, bus or tube. This is something which i admire about their habits. Reading habits and also like to recycle buy sharing the papers with others after they completed reading. They also doesnot want to waste time in train,tube or bus.
12September 1986.
It’s Friday again. We took the ride to Central again. Friday Prayers and see the rest of Central London. We went to the palace again. Of course, we had our lunch at Malaysia Hall (we missed our mum’s cook!).I aslo posted some mails to Malaysia. This was my favourite pastime as i had almost 50 penpals around that time. But this time, i wrote letters to my aunties (Mak Tua -my mum’s eldest sister and Mak Ngah – my mum’s sister: second in the family). The best
part of the writing was that i had to write to them in Jawi (our Malay version of writing similar to Arabic) as they will be read easily in Jawi rather than in Malay language (old folks). I also wrote to my close friends in my hometown, Johor Bahru to express my thanks to their encouragement during our studies in schools, also to say how miss i am the time that we spent together playing football and what not during the kids time like swimming in the nearby river, climbing tree to pick fruits.
The next day, we went to a small town known as Illford. We met some seniors (Malaysian students who stayed there for some time). We tried to find a suitable house to rent but not available. This was the time to get to know the place where we can get Halal food like chicken,beef and mutton. I was shocked to see so many muslim butchers around this small town which majority of the people are Indians and Pakistanis. Most of them are muslim. We also found a small mosque which previously was a church. It was bought over by the muslim community and coverted into a mosque later.
We went to another place the next day. It was Dagenham. To the fans of English football league, Dagenham is not a popular name like West Ham, Chelsea as the local football team in Dagenham was not in the premier league. I remembered the Dagenham football team was in the Vauxhall Conference league (note: just before they qualified to the 4th Division of English football league. Mind you, there were a total of 92 football teams in the whole of four divisions leagues in England where was i student there ).
What a day?
Morning: I had the chance to go the library near our temporary accommodation, Southwood Library. a public library for the small town.
For the first time, i received letter from Malaysia. My dad wrote to me. As expected, he hoped that i will be able to complete the study within the time given. He is always worried if i failed as he has to pay back to the government. He is one of my guarantors for the bond that i signed with the Public Services Department of Malaysia before i accept the offer to further studies abroad. The second guarantor was my father’s superior at his office in Sultan Ismail Library in Johor Bahru (Note: talking about library, there were only 2 public libraries in Johor Bahru when i left my hometown in 1986 as compared to 7 public libraries within the borough of the place,known as Newham in East London
when i was there). My father’s superior was willingly to offer to be my other guarantor and they (she and her husband, one of the popular lawyer and even today still handling big court case) adopted me as their son (at that time their kids were very young -ranged from 2 to 4 years old). She treated my father just like her uncle. Mind you, it is
not an easy task at that time to get a guarantor of the bond who is not your family members or relatives especially the education grant for overseas studies as the guarantor has to pay the penalties of about RM70,000 or more should i failed to complete the study at that time.
In the same evening, my friends and I were offerred accommodation from the college.
16 September 1986
The classes continued the whole day.
Over the lunch time, we went to the bank, National Westminster Bank (in short, they called Natwest). This is one of the 4 major banks in England apart from Barclays, Lloyds and Midland Bank. We were asked to collect a cheque book. For the first time in my life, to have a cheque book at the age of 20. When we learnt Accounts (or Commerce studies) in secondary school, we knew that to open a cheque account (back in 1986), you may need certain of money to be deposited (as little as RM1000) and an introducer (those who had already a cheque account and with credibility). In England, it is a common scenario. We were given the service card to withdraw money from the money kiosk (we called ATM card in Malaysia) and cheque book with a plastic card known as Cheque card valued at 50 pound sterling. The cheque card allows us to pay at the shop with a cheque up to value of 50 pound sterling. The card gave an assurance for the bank to honour the payment to the recepient. It was something new for us at that time.
We were also kept some money in the deposit account (like a FD-fixed deposit) for rainy days. We were rather “rich” when we reached London as were given an advanced of 3 months living allowance as well the first year book allowance. The only problem to some of us is when they become the big spenders- buying unneccessary items like television, hi-fi audio systems. Just before they get the 1st monthly allowance in the 4th month, some of us already broke. This was the first test to us in managing money, This is what i called Freedom of spending your own money without control.
18September 1986
We officially received the admission letter to college from Mr.Mishaw.
My college was at West Ham Precinct where there were only 2 Malaysian students in the whole college (in the main campus, Barking Precinct, there were a total of 40 Malaysian Students in 1986). Myself n Norazan, a girl who was in the same group from my last college in Malaysia. Both of us took the same course- Mathematics,Statistics and Computing.
19 September 1986
A group of us (mainly my friends who studied at School of Architecture-
5 of them: Khalizan,Khalid,Suleiman,Jojo and Majid) went to West Ham Precinct to meet the College Accomodation Offiecr (also acted as Chaplain for the college), Mr.Norman. We were offerred a house nearby the college. Actually, my college at West Ham Precinct and my friends’ college (Holbrook Precinct – School of Architecture) are quite close to each other and hence, we tried to find a suitable accommodation for all of us. I had no choice initially as i am the only one (male Malaysian student) at my college and living alone would be more expensive for me to survive. I was offered too (if i wish) to stay with English family but i rejected as i am not convincing at that time to stay alone.
11am- We went to the house by walking from college. We met the landlady named Nadine. Actually, the house was meant for only 5 people as the other 3 (3 rooms) already booked by English students who studied at my college too. If left us with 3 rooms (two double bedrooms -one located at the basement of the house, one on the first floor whilst the small room at the attic of the house). I had no choice but to beg the landlady to accept me in the small room at the attic. She had initially rejected my proposal but subsequently accepted my offer even at some price for the rent. She promised to buy a new bed, mattress,blanket and pillow for me. She also agreed to allocate pot and pans, plates dedicated for us and placed in a separate cupboard for our usage and not to be shared by other 3 British students who are tottaly stranger to us. It was made known to her about certain things that are prohibited for our religion.
Each of us paid GBP 50 for the deposit of renting. Our rent was charged at GBP 25 per week (including GBP 5 for heating facilities). We left the house happily as our problem to find an accommodation is resolved.
Our first home address in London:
139,Boleyn Road,

1989-Sekadar ingatan
7April1989- ESSEX HOSPITAL,LONDON.
Hari pertama kami berpuasa di London bagi tahun 1989. Satu peristiwa yang tidak boleh dilupakan bila salah seorang rakan kami, pelajar tahun 2 Kejuteraan Elektrik dimasukkan ke hospital ekoran masalah mental. Merupakan kali pertama, kami ke hospital bagi orang kurang siuman atau yang mengalami masalah mental yang terletak di London.Masalahnya yang dihadapi beliau pada mulanya bila tidak sehaluan bersama rakan serumah. Dia seorang yang tidak suka bersosial sangat sebagaimana rakan serumahnya yang gemarkan muzik. Disini bermulanya fikiran beliau rungsing. Diikuti pula pengajian tahun 2 yang lebih rumit, lebih-lebih lagi dengan pelajaran Electrical Engineering. Dia terpaksa dihantar ke hospital oleh rakan-rakan bila dia mula mengamuk dan menumbuk cermin di rumah sewaannya.
Yang agak menarik bila seorang gadis yang juga sedang merima rawatan disitu menegur kami sambil merayu meminta sedikit wang untuk menerima keropok kentang dari mesin yang sedia ada. Yang melucukan bila beliau memasukkan bungkusan plastik keropok itu kedalam ketuhar gelombang mikro yang disediakan di kantin hospital tersebut. Apalagi, rangguplah jadinya plastik itu. Itulah bila orang kurang siuman menggunakan sesuatu alat tanpa berfikir. Nak gelak pun ada nak sedih pun ada melihat telatah si gadis itu. Kesudahannya, sekali lagi kami diminta wang olehnya.
Berbalik kepada rakan kami yang tidak sihat itu, pada mulanya beliau sama sekali tidak mengenali kami langsung. Difahamkan, dia diikat di katil sewaktu mula-mula masuk ekoran keadaannya yang kritikal.
(Nota: setelah selesai beliau menerima rawatan di hospital tersebut, pegawai pelajar kelolaan MARA telah menghantar beliau pulang ke Malaysia)

London_Manchester_Paris:25Dis-30Dis2011
5 hari 3 malam. Suatu perjalanan yang agak letih. Demi menunaikan janji bagi anak saya yang ke 2 yang berjaya dengan cemerlang didalam peperiksaan UPSR yang lalu. ke Kelab Bolasepak Manchester City.
Perjalanan bermula pada hari natal. Tepat jam 11.55 malam -25Disember 2011- untuk kali ke 4 saya ke London (selama bertugas di syarikat penerbangan). Kami sekeluarga sampai pada pagi 26Disember 2011 -jam 5.30 pagi waktu tempatan. Cuaca sekitar 12 darjah Celcius. Lebih menyedihkan bila Kota London menyambut Boxing Day (sehari selepas hari Natal) dengan mogok keretapi bawah tanah yang melumpuhkan seluruh Kota London.Tambah mengecewakan kami dengan perkhidmatan keretapi laju (Heathrow Express) ke Paddington turut tidak beroperasi atas alasan kerja-kerja pembaikan rel.
Menginap selama 2 malam di hotel Ibis Heathrow untuk perjalanan kali ini tidak mengecewakan. Kami perlu menaiki bas dari Heathrow ke hotel dan pergi balik (Hoppa Bus). Inilah satu-satu perkhidmatan awam yang perlu dicontohi sebahagian negara yang inginkan sektor perlancongan berkembang dengan pesat.
Seawal jam 7 pagi, kami meninggalkan bagasi di hotel tersebut sebelum meneruskan perjalanan ke Oxford Street untuk menyaksikan jualan besar-besaran di Kota London.Ianya tidak menghampakan kami sekeluarga menaiki bas gantian yang disediakan oleh Heathrow Express dengan tambang yang berpatutan (GBP 27 untuk 2 dewasa dan 2 kanak-kanak) dari Heathrow ke Kota London (Paddington).
Sarapan pagi bermula di sebuah cafe Inggeris berdekatan Stesen keretapi Paddington. Memuaskan dengan kopi dan cokelat panas bersama muffin dan roti. Selepas itu, kami bergegas menaiki bas berwarna merah untuk ke Marble Arch untuk menyertai jualan besar-besaran di Kota London.
Gambar yang sempat dirakam sekitar Oxford Street pada 26 Disember 2011.
