Weekend in Liverpool

17th August 2014,

Today, some of the students who stays in London are coming back to Liverpool. They are Dania, Omar, Koh, Phang, Lucas and Jeny. Some of them are still staying in London and will be coming back tomorrow night. Today, we planned to go to Anfield. Some of us went there to watch a football match, Liverpool vs Southampton and some of us who didn’t have the ticket just went there for sightseeing.

On the way to Anfield, we decided to go to a car boot sale at Stanley Road, Bootle. It has about 50 sellers here and most of them sell clothes, kitchen utensils, electrical devices and antique things. Me, Dayang, KI, Zea, Thera and Lily who went to the car boot sale have split into two groups.  Me, Dayang and KI in one group and the rest is in the other group.

After that, the first group had decided to go to Anfield and the other group decided to go to Liverpool City Centre. We took a bus to Anfield but we ended up getting on the bus that’s going on a longer trip. In the end, we decided to get down from the bus and walk all the way to Anfield which in all took about 46 minutes to go to the stadium.

The group that didn’t go to the car boot sale went straight to Anfield Stadium at 10.30 on foot. They actually have a ticket for the Liverpool vs Southampton match. We who don’t have the ticket decides to just walk around the stadium, took some pictures and bought some souvenirs from the Liverpool FC shop. We spent our time at Anfield till evening at about 2 o’clock.

After that, we went back to Liverpool City Center by bus. At the city centre, we spend an hour of our time shopping at Liverpool One and Primark. On the way back, me and Dayang got to watch a special charity performance made for Gaza in front of Liverpool One. They marched around the area while playing drums to catch the crowd’s attention and thus encouraging them to donate for charity. It is so much fun that a few kids even joined the march and dance along with the music.

It was so much fun. Then, we head back home. At night, I just spend my time with Dayang, cooking our dinner and had some good girls talk with just the two of us since there’s only the two of us home. That’s it for my entry. Hope you enjoyed reading.
