I've been contemplating whether I should combine my last 2 days in London into a single post or keep them as 2 separate posts. 'Nothing much to tell' and 'not many pictures to share' were the main reasons. Anyway, I had decided to stick to the theme and write a post for each day of my holiday.
This was the day I've allocated for last-minute shopping. And I was seriously in need for it since I haven't gotten anything for Dad. And to add to the drama, his birthday would be on the 7th. At least I had bought a table runner for Mom with thistle motifs in Scotland, among other things.

So I headed to Westfield mall once again and I found myself browsing in the aisles at SportsDirect.com store. Did I have the perfect thing for my dad? Chelsea t-shirts! Perhaps a little bit too late for this year's season, but I do hope he'd like them, and a couple of mid-length tracksuit bottoms to go with them.
When Dad opened up the gifts when I balik kampung a few days after I got back, he laughed while saying, "Umur dah 72 tahun pun pakai baju cam ni ke?" (Does a 72-year old wear such shirts?). I told him with a smile on my face, "Why not? You can at least wear them when you're watching the games on telly." I was relieved that he was fond of them. Phewww

| They only had the light blue shirts for women. But these a're not that bad right? One is cotton and the other is the Climacool type |
I went to Harrods and Oxford streets but they were too touristy for my liking so I didn't spend so much time there. Besides I had to go to Firouz's later in the afternoon. Not before dropping off the shopping bags at Azizul's.

I was in fact late to meet up with Firouz. So much so that he decided to go back to his place first. I only arrived at the meeting point some 20 minutes later. Oops! I clearly misjudged the time the train would take to get to Canada Water station. Sorry Firouz! Lucky for me, it was pretty straightforward to get to his place. When I arrived, he had already started prepping for tomorrow's lunch. Waahh! He worked all the way till midnight, and even managed to cook dinner for us in between. Dasat! (Awesome!).
Where was I during all this? Well... I could very much say that I did my part by getting out of the way. ROFL! I've offered to clean up, but the dishwashing machine beat me to it. I can also put it as - the dishwashing machine made me redundant :D
