Being Famous (for FREE)

Another life changing experience. Saja nak repost; mainly because it reappears in FB 'on this day'. For the whole journey experience you can just read from previous post (in 2011). Ok, article ni memang best, menggambarkan seluruh pengalaman hampir tepat. Bila isteri kau review nothing can go wrong kan. We actually wrote bit longer but yeah the editor did his job lah, cut something a bit, add important message and all that. 

Famous sangat ke? Mula-mula melayang jugak, lama-lama lebih kepada commercial vehicle for them je sebenarnya -which is fair to them. Masuk newspaper, blog, tv (cerita je, bukan aku), magazine and so on (padahal itu aje). Dia dah bagi kau free flight ticket, hotel free (nasib Tune hotel tak commissioned lagi time tu), VIP seating, before/ half time/ after meal- not bad lah. 

The rest korang zoom in la article ni #janganmalas. Sadly QPR relegated, promoted and relegated again since then (dan tiada penampakan nak naik liga 😓).

Road to Loftus Road Pt 3

Immediately after we arrived and took our luggage, we went to Gatwick train station to get a ticket to Victoria (I bought return ticket actually). It was already dark by then.

Being a winner, I think I did well in promoting the BIG card. It just sometimes photo taken where my face looked hideous, especially the first picture just before departure. Ahaha.. Did I care? Hell NO! Janji gi London tengok bola kan..

So after Victoria station, we split and went to our hotel, mine at Central Park Hotel, so near to Malaysian Hall (I had Nasi kandaq kambing twice). Upon check in, I get assisted by Rozie (a friend doing PhD in UCL) which leads me to Whitelys (a mall). At there, I ended up with Zara winter coat; the customer service was tip top. The manager (Jorge) helped me out to find which coat suits me well. With tips, opinions and what not, I feel appreciated so yeah I bought one. Was looking for a decent winter coat actually. So case closed.

Back at hotel, so tired I sleep early. Woke up in the midnight, called my wife, sleep back and by 4.30am I'm already up. Eager for the game!
