Tetamu dari Manchester

Dua minggu lepas kami dikunjungi tetamu dari Machester. Sebelum tu, dapat SMS daripada nombor yang tak pernah distorekan bertanyakan samada kami ke mana2 weekend tuh. Walaupun terasa macam pelik tapi jawab jugak, kami tak kemana2. Kalau keluar pun hanya ke bandar Norwich. Kami pulak yang menyoal nombor siapa nih? Rupa-rupanya Afzan, menggunakan nombor yang lagi satu katanya. Patutla tak cam...

Berita gembira. Permohonan Afzan untuk melanjutkan pelajaran ke peringkat PhD telah lulus. Bukan di Manchester tapi di Brighton. Tapi tak kisahla Afzan kan? Walaupun terpaksa pindah dari Manchester ke Brighton, peluang tak boleh dilepaskan. Congratulations.(On the bright side, Brighton is way way nearer to Norwich compared to Manchester, hence easier for us to visit each other ;)

Afzan (with hubby, Faizul and son, Farish) were going for a 'tengok2 rumah' session in Brighton that weekend, so they decided to come and pay us a visit here in Norwich. This was their first time in Norwich, but due to time limit we couldn't really take them to any interesting sites. They arrived on the Saturday night and would be headed back to Machester on Sunday afternoon. So the most feasible and suitable place to go was... car boot sale! Not a problem actually coz like me, Afzan is also a boot sale fan. but the weather was not really on our side. Since autumn is coming to the end, the boot sale also was not as 'semeriah' as always. Cuaca sangat sejuk, tangan pun macam dah ala2 beku, nak tengok barang pun tak best. You should really come during summer time, a whole different situation then. More more merrier! But,not quite frustrating, banyak jugak hasil tangkapan.

Afzan was a friend from UTP. Not really a friend. She and I have blood relation actually. Quite complicated to explain, but to make things easy we always refer to ourselves as cousins :) We both share the same dreams on being mommies who own businesses so that we would have more opportunities to look after our own children. Afzan has started with hers(despite of juggling with her studies). Me? Very2 soon I would say. Most probably, I would still be going back to work when we go back to Malaysia next year for I have promised hubby and mom to do so(we have to stabilize things first). But I still hope that I can come out with some brilliant ideas and start this business thingy in no time. So anybody with golden ideas out there, care to share with me? :)
