Followed my third sister and family to UK for a holiday cum my niece's graduation. Enjoyed the holiday and experience, even though the temperature was at sub-zero degrees most of the time.
The temperature on our journey to Manchester to visit Old Trafford.
The Family outside Old Trafford's parking lot before going to the stadium and eventually to the gift shop. My nephew is a diehard fan of Manchester United and thus, the visit to Old Trafford was pencilled in. We thought we might need to cancel the trip since the weather was especially bad the day before we were supposed to go to Old Trafford. But, Alhamdullilah, it was quite safe to travel to Manchester the next day, even though the temperature was - 7 degrees celcius. It was quite an experience for me, jakun katakan tak pernah main snow and dapat pegang snow for the first tme.
The real reason why we braved the icy cold weather to be in the UK before Christmas. But when we planned to go there we didn't expect the weather to be so cold. But, regardless of the weather, everything was worth it to see my niece walked up the stage to accept her Master's scroll. her happy smile on that day really lighted up the room for me and gave me a warm glow, but mind you outside the hall, the temperature was -9 degrees celcius at that time. Congratulation to you my dearest niece. I wish all the best to you, as you embark on your new career in Brunei Darussalam and may Allah protect you always. As testimony of how cold it was on that day, you should see the picture below, even the fountain was frozen, and the water resembles a crystal vase, if you don't mind me saying so....
Don't you agree? It does look like a crystal vase....
