MANCHESTER

The day we land in Manchester was our very first day of honeymoon. We arrived in the morning, had a quick rest before heading out to explore. We stayed at Copthorne Manchester Hotel for obvious reasons (think Man U).

The room was pretty nice and it's only for a night stay so no complains.

First stop : The glory Old Trafford Stadium. It was just minutes away so we walked. The husband was super excited even when we're metres away from the stadium, like a kid seeing a candy store.

We didn't purchase any tickets online prior to this but we got lucky coz there are tickets available for the Stadium Tour. There's a museum tour included and we did that first since we had time before the Stadium Tour. Suka sangat lah Mr.Husband tu sampai kena ignore for most of the time k. Kusyuk sangat. *rolls eyes*

At every end of any tours we will land ourselves in the gift shop area right? Can go crazy ok just looking at all the merchandise. we obviously did grab some stuffs (for keepsake and souvenirs for ManU fans only). There was this cute little baby wear and we both wanted to buy, then we contemplated - to buy or not to buy -will it just give us hopes (let's say we couldn't conceive yet). In the end, we did not buy and we regret it now. Hahahaha.

After spending the whole morning entertaining the husband with his ManU "obsession", we decided to head down to the city area coz we're both STARVING! We haven't had any food since morning and it was already past lunch time!

Took the train down to Piccadilly and went for food hunting. We stumbled upon this Halal Chinese "Takeway" shop and it was like those typical Chinese takeaway food you often see in movies or tv series. Me being so jakun (just because I want to eat out of that paper box) , we decided to eat there. The serving was kinda big and the food was good too!

Since we're in Piccadilly, we booked our train ticket to London Euston and Wembley Central for the next day.

After that, I demanded to go to Primark coz I've already did my research knowing there is one there and confirmed it coz I saw it along the way in the train. heh heh. As usual, the husband complained why is there shopping involved. but..... I managed to proved him otherwise! Comparing to the both of us, he actually went NUTS shopping in Primark. He went like "Eh murah lah" "eh lawa lah b" HAHAH TOLD YA! PRIMARK IS A MUST!

SIN - DOHA - MANCHESTER

And finally, the long awaited post. It's been what? 8-9 months since the honeymoon? Hahaha.. better late than never?

Oh how I miss our honeymoon... The cold weather, the shopping.. I just don't want to go back.

We decided to go for our honeymoon a week after our wedding coz of two things;

1: to avoid my period week.

2: to take advantage of the CNY holidays = 2 lesser AL taken

Our flight was on a Thursday, 4th Feb 08.25 pm. We headed to the airport early and had tea with my grandparents who wanted to send us off. We had some time to walk around after checking in and chill for awhile before the flight. Actually we had the lounge pass access coz the husband was a Silver member for Qatar Airways but we decided to skip it.

I was so ready for the flight, I put on my "flight" outfit - comfy sweaters and jeans and comfy-styled shawl. I had my ever so comfy IKEA cushion and some little snacks/sweets. This was the most comfortable flight I've been. The seats are nice and comfy and had a good leg space. The previous flights was just okay. I still remember the first hijab flight to Korea (the first flight since I wore the hijab), it was OMG-to the max uncomfortable. Partly was because the hijab was a little bit to the tight side and the bun was blocking my head from being able to rest on the head rest. I had headaches and it was just horrible. So learning from that incident, I tried and tested which style was the most comfy yet good looking and not to tie my hair so tight. Pasal naik flight je dah banyak drama queen eh. hahaha.

Since my husband was the Qatar Silver member, he had the privilege of  choosing the main for the in-flight dinner. Me on the other hand tumpang privilege coz I'm his wife. HEHE.

And so we landed in Doha and had an hour before the next flight to Manchester!

Arriving in Machester.... and so our honeymoon begins. OMG ok. I is very EXCITED! But the husband is more excited than me coz it's the place of his Glory Glory Man United!

Oh, the only reason why we're here is because of this. But it's okay, I get my turn next. Heeeeee...

We arrived early in the morning at around 6 plus going to 7. We managed to purchase the sim card with unlimited data at one of the shops and it was cheap! It can be used anywhere in Europe including Paris! YAY!

We had to cab down to our hotel coz that was the only option we had. Checked-in and rest for awhile before continuing our day.
