Manchester Weekend Trip

the weekend trip down to manchester...


On the way to manchester using train..


reached zukri's place, decided to take a break n rest coz we reached at around 10ish pm.
in zuk's place playing singstar.. look at everyone stoning at his huge tv!

the first 'restaurant' we ate in when we reached manchester.. pizza co. fast food..
spicy wings, chips n cheese.. mmm.. i sure do miss the chicken..
met up with hafiz and decided to call it a day. went our different ways...

as for the rest who either had accomodation close to the city centre, i m stayin with hafiz in 'curry mile' ( a street covered in many halal outlets n restaurants). quite a dodgy place..
we had our talks at night, played PES (pro evo) n many other such things..

next morning, went down to the city centre using the 'magic bus'.
had starbucks for breakfast..

the so-called 'manchester wheel'.. sorry to say this.. doesn't look as grand as londons :P

outside the city centre shopping centre. arndale!

in the lift up to zuk's place to drop some things before going to old trafford!!

first sight of old trafford!





trophiesssss

look at cristiano ronaldo's name.. its been touched so many times, the letters have faded away!


the distorted nike sign because nike is not a sponsor for the champions league on wednesday (manu vs inter milan)


me with the field n seats.

zuk n i...


seats for the disabled..

the changing room...

walking out of the tunnel the players walk out of during the match.

wooo.. i touched the grass eventhough ure not supposed to.
where the substitutes sit..

the tour is done! zuk n i with our certificates!
The United Trinity - Best, Law, Charlton - LEGENDS!!




imitating alex ferguson...

the latest trophies.. carling cup and european cup

see you old trafford!

on the magic bus back to the centre.. the famous bridge??
had dimsum at thai wu.. cheapest dim sum i have eaten.. around 6 pounds per person.. ate so much! its really nice as well!
lets call it a day.. went back to zuk's place.. played more singstar before taking the bus back to hafiz's place by myself. a daunting experience as i didn't know where to get off. eventually i got back in one piece. :D

the morning walk around curry mile, in search for something to eat for breakfast before manchester talentime. a dodgy alley leading to pasha restaurant..

curry mile in the morning.. decided to take away pizza at some nearby restaurant (10 pounds for 3 12'' pizzas? thats amazingly cheap!!)

met up with the JIS boys!! wenzhe, hafiz nordin, me n hafiz m. at hafiz's place

his dodgy crib~ number 3.

the magic bus..

talentime ticket... look at tieng's nails.. black? green?

me with the palace~ apparently alex ferguson owns part of the hotel.

thai wu's spicy eel with glass noodles for dinner. it is such dam spicy but still its awesome~

goodbye manchester! before going in the train. thanks for ur hospitality zuk! :D
