Warwick for a brief

Very brief indeed. We were there for less than an hour I think. I was very excited to show my parents where I called home for the last three years. But the weather was not helping much it was freezing cold and by the time we got there it was already almost Maghrib.

I was quite disappointed that the security didn't let us past the barrier to Lakeside. My dad really wanted to see the lakes and the wheat plantation. What a shame.

We went to Royal Grill before leaving Coventry and thanks to that I was really sleepy in the car.

It felt really good whilst praying in the Prayer Hall. Seeing familiar places, familiar spots in prayer hall where I used to spend a few nights when I was feeling quite low in energy to take the bus home or when I had to work at 9 on Sundays (bus doesn't start till 10am on Sundays, hence overnighting in the cold Prayer hall was needed).

There were doing major constructions on the Student Union and Arts Centre. But the eatery at Arts Centre was open, the last time I was there it was shut. They changed the old wooded chairs to white ones. Or repainted the old ones, I don't know. The Front of House office where I used to report for work was shut, if not I could've said hi to Emma or any other stewards on duty.

I felt as if I was back to somewhere safe. I really liked warwick. It has been kind to me. I have so much good memories there. I loved my jobs as Steward there and really missed watching good shows for free. Movies, concerts, comedies, even selling ice creams. I enjoyed them all. The last concert I did was perhaps Jason Mraz concert, I was already at Westwood by then, he was literally 5 metres from where I was standing the whole time, but it was such a bummer that I didn't have my glasses on, my vision could have been better. But the experience was amazing!
