Weekends in Sheffield and Leeds

Salam..

     Remember my aim of being productive during the weekend? So here we go.. a one-and-a-half day visit to Sheffield. This was our first time traveling by train in concern of optimizing the usage of railcard (for a cheaper train fee) we made from going to waste. One of the things you need not to worry upon travelling around the UK is to look for the accommodation because there will always be Malaysians everywhere. Therefore, you could save for more shopping. Hee.. All thanks to Rab for the sleepover at her's and for  being our tourist guide all day long. 

     Sheffield is amazing. Yeah..it really is, if compared to Bradford. Everything is double the size..the city,  the university, Primark, you name it. We really had a great time there. Since the winter is about at its end, I thought of wearing a dress and a jacket wouldn't matter but I was wrong. About 30 minutes wandering around the train station, only to realize that I've put on the wrong attire.The weather was just like killing me yet I had to endure with it. *bajet minah salleh la pakai nipis nipis pun x sejuk  =_=. We went to many places but not many pictures were taken. These are all I have.

See..what I'd put on that day

Feeling like a supermodel, huh??

We also entered the museum.*yeah..sounds like a primary school's educational trip. But to be honest, that was the most awesome museum I'd ever been. I kid you not! It wasn't just displaying all those historical thingy, but more to entertainment for children. Oh how lucky the kids over here. They are really well entertained.

       For this weekend, we went to Leeds along with our murabbi, Kak Syahirah for a nasyeed event. This event was held only for muslimah and of course, the participants were allowed to dress in their Sunday best and sang their lungs out since there were no non-muhrim. Cool aite?? And to my surprise, most performances were not just the ordinary nasyeed we often heard. I mean, nasyeed, you know, kinda sounds slow and polite. But this one, they even danced, rapped and marched. Double cool!! The judges really had a hard time of choosing the winner. 

      Maybe next year we should participate as well, making the first representative from Bradford. Hehe.. Plus, the juniors are coming. The more, the merrier it will be. *excited. Not to mention, there were also a number of booths selling malaysian food. Even though most of them were a a bit pricey, the craving made it worth the money. And so I had nasi kerabu and sate for the first time since I'm in the UK.

That's all for now. Till then, Assalamualaikum.. :)
