Manchester - Day 3 (Old Trafford + Shopping!~)

Day 3 in Manchester is the most tiring one. This is because we were trying to cover the places that we were supposed to go on Day 2. We started off early in the morning by boarding the train to the city of Manchester. We were on the National Rail and believe me, the train was moving so slowly! I suggest that if any of you are going to ride on the same train in the future, bring along some books or board games so that you’ll not die of boredom! As for me, my mp3 saved me.. Huhu^^


After arriving at Manchester Piccadilly station, we took a tram via Metrolink to Old Trafford! Yup peeps~ I’m going to the Old Trafford Stadium!!! Woohooo!!~ Felt so lucky. I’ve finally arrived at Manchester United’s stadium! To all MU fans out there, don’t be jealous okay? LOL!!! We were so lucky because that day itself, MU had a match against Villareal and because of that, we could see many other tourists who came for the match. We then went inside the store and shopped for souvenirs.

We're here at Old Trafford Stadium!!

This is United Cafe! Sometimes players do hangout here~

The menu at United Cafe...

This whole place is like Manchester United's mini town.. Hee!

Souvenirs from Old Trafford!

After leaving Old Trafford, we headed to the city centre and stopped at Manchester’s Hard Rock Café. It was the biggest Hard Rock Café in the UK. We didn’t stay for food of course coz we were fasting. So, we only went to the souvenir shop to buy some things for ourselves. We didn’t buy a lot though coz they were expensive. I got myself a hoodie and a keychain.

Lost?~ ^^

The curvy streets in Manchester.. Nice!

We went straight to Arnsdale after that. It was a great place for shopaholics! There were so many shops in there that we didn’t even know where to start! We entered Jane Norman to look at some clothes. I was really attracted to this pink handbag and it was the last one..but it has got a spot on it (no wonder it’s the only one left..). So, I didn’t buy it. Our next stop was Disney Store and it was on sale! Knowing that, I immediately grabbed some of the things there for both of my sisters. It was really worth it!

High School Musical folder for Khalisyah, Narnia folder and Ratatouille stationery set for Khalilah. Khalisyah, don't be jealous.. I've bought you lotsa High School Musical and Hannah Montana's stuffs, aite?

We then continued to enter more shops. We went into Madhouse which was also on sale that time and then we entered Next. Didn’t buy anything from those two shops. After that, we entered New Look. I was personally looking for fur-collared jackets (just like Taeyang’s.. Huhu^^) and there were tonnes of them in there! The price range were around GBP35 to GBP40 which was the standard price but none of the design caught my eyes. I then looked at some jeans and I actually found one that really suited me but again, I didn’t buy it! I was surprised myself, my buying power was just not there at that time.. Hee~^^.. We continued entering other shops after that until our feet hurt and we decided to go home. On the way home, we stopped at Debenhams coz Syaz wanted to buy a belt for her father.

The results of Day 3.. LOL!!!!

Show me the money!~ Hee~^^

We were so tired on the way back that all of us slept on the train at some point. We didn’t have to worry about missing the station because as I said, it was moving really slowly.. Hahaha… Abg Nik picked us up at Chorley station. That night, after buka puasa with Nasi Lemak, Fried Kangkung, Salted Eggs, Vege Pizza and Seri Muka as desserts, we straight away took our baths, arranged the things that we bought and went to sleep~

Buka puasa menu~

Seri Muka for dessert~ YUM!~
