Highlight in London

Assalam,

4th April 2012

Today is the highlight of our trip in London.  It is also our last day too.  After breakfast, we went on the Paddington underground tube to London Central Mosque at Baker Street Station.  London Central Mosque is located near Regeant's Park at Park Road.  Alhamdulillah, dapat solat dalam masjid London.  Though it is not as nice as the mosque in Japan that I went to last November 2011.  See pic below of the mosque:

2nd place we went to is Sherlock Holmes' place at 221B, Baker Street.  It didn't click my mind when I saw Sherlock Holmes' heads on the wall of the Baker Street Statiion.  Only when we passed it on our way to the mosque, we saw tourists queuing up at the entrace.  We decided to go there on our way back from the mosque.  I love Sherlock Holmes stories when I was a teenager.  See pic below of Sherlock Holmes' place:

on our way out, we took pic with the police dressed  as in  Sherlock Holmes time

Next we went to London Beatles' Store next to Sherlock Holmes shop.  So many souvenier gifts but quite pricey.  See below the pics:

We then had our lunch at Nandos where I saw a yellow Beetle Car below:

I saw many mini coopers too and Daimler.

The highlight of the day?? The WICKED musical at Apollo Victoria Theatre.  We got the CD track.  But can't take pics during the show.  Loving it!!

What a night to remember!  Don't know when I will be coming again to London to see musicals.  The last time I came to see musical was 24-25 years ago with Hjh Sam.  We watched Les Miserables, Phantom of the Opera, and a musical about train engines which were running on diesel, electric, steam etc running on roller blades.  I still have the CD track.  


I just hope kaka will have a clearer mind now and may Allah guide you.  Think positively.  Concentrate for the coming June.  Prepare well.  Bila fikiran berserabut, ingat dan berzikir lah kepada Allah.  He will guide you.


Redha lah dengan pemberian Allah dan bersyukur atas nikmat yang di beri.


Berusaha dan berdoa disertakan dengan iman dan tawakal kepada Allah untuk kejayaan.  Ingat lah Allah ketika senang dan susah.  Makin kita berdoa makin Allah suka.  Semuga kaka dan semua anak anak mama dalam perlindungan dan rahmat Allah hendaknya. Amin
