The Hand Bag man, originally uploaded by unangelic.

We spent yesterday in London, for the junjung ziarah with His Majesty, Sultan of Brunei.

And from a special request back home (i.e. my mother!) I sported a headscarf for most of the day. Funnily enough, only one guy throughout the whole bus matched my outfit: Fahmi, the hand bag man.

So, while HM mingled with the crowd, I got mangled. He was literately just between me and another person and of all days, every person from every corner of me decided to rush towards him, while stepping on my feet. I gave up and pushed myself out of the crowd and sat on a table. So no, I didn't get to greet him.. but Syaheir did, twice.. and so did most of the boys I think.

Other than that, it was a good day. I have a mental list in my head of what kind of new shoes to buy. :-D

I spent my Saturday in Nottingham, captain-ing the Loughborough Malaysia netball team and refereeing whenever possible. It was a terrible morning with terrible referees, I was well annoyed and ended up raising my voice at some of the organisers and so-called referees (who sadly admitted they have never before refereed), so my slight-yelling might be justified for outlandish whistle (or none) blows.

In the end we lost against two teams, won against three and since only the top team of every group could qualify for the semi-finals (there were no quarter finals), we didn't get in. Losing against Nottingham and Manchester was a low-blow for me, because the girls and I could've done much better. But nevermind, they always have next year :-) Congratulations to the Warwick netball team (mich, yung hui in particular) for winning over all :-)

love,
