Ewah, cik main lagi tajuk diary saya today. Sajer je nak rhyme konon. Yep, I am back in Muscat now. Left Milan on April 2nd. Stopped over in London for a day. Sempat ler berhoyeh ke Trafalgar Square – my dream since I read ‘Cinta Adrina’ in majalah Remaja zaman skolah dulu. Went to Piccaddily Circus and walked around to Westminster Abbey, saw Big Ben and all.
I went back to Le Meridien with lubang hidung yang berjelaga!
London was surprisingly pleasant. I was afraid it was anything like Milan…crowded and chaotic. But I was obviously wrong. It was quite nice. Still crowded, but nice. The food was amazingly authentic. We had pizza for late lunch at Deep Pan and tried the Hot ‘n Spicy (the kind we used to swear by in Perth…punyalah sedap and pedas). We got real Jalapenos! Yes lah!
We went to Thai Cuisine for supper because we hadn’t had Thai food for two years now. Couldn’t find any in Italy and couldn’t find any authentic Thai restaurant in Muscat either. So, Thai Cuisine by Trafalgar Square lah tempat Be and I menyerbu. Muahhh! I overate that evening. And for the first time, I didn’t care! Huah huah huah! Yes, it was THAT good.
So, what’s with my jelaga hidung eh? Air pollution lah gamaknya. Living in Milan for almost a year, spending a week in Paris – walking around the city every single day, spending over half a week in Stockholm, a day in Copenhagen, a day in Innsbruck, Zurich, Bern and Geneva…tak jelaga pun my nostrils. Tetiber London…pehhh! Hitam bertepek!
Ah well, I guess as the saying goes…you win some, you lose some, you never have it all. Betul jugak. The food was great, the view was marvelous, the people are reasonable, service was tanta migliore than many places. So if the air is not clean … so be it lah kan? I was there for less than 24 hours pun. Lagi mau bising.
The flights were uneventful. Tak de laa hijackers trying to light up explosives in their shoes or anything like that. I did carry my pengepit kuku in my handbag though. The nail-clipper with a knife type one. But selamat je naik kapalterbang British Airways Linate-London and London-Muscat. Terasa jugak macam nak hijack the flight BA 073 tu on April 3rd, 2002. Tapi tak de mood sangat sebab I am pregnant.
Huh? I am pregnant?
