the 3 days I spent in Canterbury.


Dear MAMA,
Hari tu min pegi ke kent.. it took me almost FOUR hours to drive with three boys who talked about more girls than I could handle because I realise, although most of my friends are guys, I, myself, am a girl..and sometimes some things should never be discussed among the different sexes.

Anyway, I didn't meet Ella until well into the day -- I arrived about 2pm and she still hadn't finished the essay that was due in at 4pm. So instead of driving straight to her place, I drove to Taufiq's sister's place instead where we lounged on the grass before finally moving on by driving into their very very quaint city.

Around 3pm, I went to get Iyra at the city's bus station. My friends took us to eat at this cute little cafe called Rocco's. Ella only met up with us at 4pm once she was done passing her papers up. We took Iyra to this pet shop that Taufiq and I visited last year that had a HUGE python just lying on the floor but it wasn't there that day. I was so utterly dissappointed.

That evening I drove the three of us to Asda where we bought loads and loads of food..and I made them nasi lemak. The next day I cooked breakfast, i.e. pancakes.. and then we took a bus to the city to roam around a bit. We visited a beautiful garden next to a moat (lol) and took photos. The flowers smelt lovely. Iyra was suppose to leave that very day, but fortunately for my negotiating skills and Ella's powerful method of persuastion, Iyra decided to stay another night so I made lamb masak kicap :] that was very yumm.

In the morning, Ella made omelettes for breakfast with corned beef XD I would have enjoyed it more thoroughly if I hadn't eaten two bowls of rice and left over lamb from the night before. In fact, I think I over ate. We also made loads and loads of muffins before I could actually leave the house. Ella decided that she wanted to eat oysters so we drove to a seaside area called Whitstable where we shared a dozen oysters and ate whelks. yum. Iyra took lots and lots of photos of the food because she wanted to make her sisters jealous (and possibly feel guilty because they weren't there to share our wonderful experiences. haha

Anyway, at the end of the day.. I went to pick Taufiq and Haziq up from Hanim's place (that's Taufiq's sister's name by the way) where they took forever to get ready. We left at 8pm and only arrived back in Loughborough around 1am because we stopped at a lot of services. LOL. When we did eventually arrive in Loughborough, we drove to Mustanir's..and I drove us to Tesco where we didn't buy anything but Mus did buy a tub of ice cream. I finally got home at 3am and then slept until 8am then drove to return the car I rented.. heehee

and here I am. Watching my boys and nazi play ddr.

love,
yas.
