Travelouge - from Malaysia to Romania!

seriously I don't know where to start.
tiap kali baca post dlm grup BBM (Backpackers Buddies Malaysia), meluap-luap la perasaan nak tulis blog. tapi kekdahnya, walaupun ku dah fulltime business sendiri tapi kebizian adalah sama melampau mcm waktu bekerja dulu. pagi2 dah bizi siapkan budak2, tiba2 dah pukul 12.30 so kena pickup diorang pulak. pastu kelam kabut balik sbb Poslaju nak collect brg tghari. tapi I adalah sangat hepi oh!

ok ok berbalik kepada tajuk asal. ehem
so trip yg ditunggu2 ni start 22/8/2017 hingga 4/9/2017. total of 14 days ye.

21/8 tu kami hantar the kids balik kg coz my parents nak tolong jagakan. lagipun Aaira & Danish mmg sgt close with my parents so me and hubby mmg dpt bercuti dgn aman & damai.

22/8 flight MAS dari JB pukul 4.40ptg so 1.30ptg my parents hantarkan kami ke airport Senai. book ticket JB-KL guna Traveloka so dpt diskaun RM100 yuh! jimat di situ.

sampai KLIA pukul 5.50ptg. flight ke Istanbul pukul 11.30mlm so selama 5 jam tu kami dok berlegar2 je la dlm KLIA.

this is my last meal before bertolak. RM12 ye.

pukul 9 lebih dah check-in sbb kat area dlm tu lebih best drp dok luar nih.

then, naik bas ke terminal Turkish Airlines. first time naik airlines nih. sempitnya lahai if nak compare dgn MAS. maybe mahal sbb flight ni direct ke Istanbul. takes only 11 hours to reach there if compare dgn airlines lain yg berbelas puluh jam sbb kena transit. actually Qatar & SingaporeAir lagi murah and best tapi dah ku book last minute kan, so mendapat la flight yg ni. cost per pax is RM2990 which is considered expensive sbb biasanya boleh dpt dlm RM2100 je T_T

as usual, search flight guna Skyscanner and book flight KL-Istanbul guna BudgetAir. bagus sbb apa2 charge diorg akan mention terang dan jelas sebelum buat payment.

tiket Istanbul-Bucharest pulak book guna GoToGate tak best lansung! byk charge tersembunyi yg diorg tak mention awal. lepas dah swipe kad baru la tau kena cas itu ini. haih

ni menu dalam flight hokey. kagum i

utk dinner ku makan grilled salmon with rice (barley) and ratatouille yaw! ingat tak movie tu? tak sangka berjaya jugak mkn benda alah ni. haha

and utk breakfast, mkn set roti dgn scramble eggs, dessert, fruits & olive+cheese. byk gila. kat Turki, takde nasik putih. barley ni la yg jadi nasik diorg.

and dlm flight disediakan bantal + selimut and lots of entertainment so tengok la berapa puluh movie ko nak tgk.

setelah berpusing kanan kiri bgn duduk, akhirnya pukul 5.15am sampai la ke Istanbul. turun2 flight je hubby dah komplen takleh tido sepanjang 11 jam nih. haha. tgh dok membebel tu sempat pulak, 'tu laa Hafizh Syahrin yg race motor tuu. so okkk marila kita amikkan gambo.

nampak tak org yg tak tido tu tersenyum gumbira di situ. haha

Hafizh nak ke Spain, transit kat Istanbul and kami pula tunggu flight Tarom untuk ke Romania pukul 10.40pg. perbezaan waktu Turki & Malaysia ialah 5 jam.

ni tgh queue waktu di imigresen Istanbul. seriously this is one of the most crowded airport in the world okeh! sesak gilaaa

dah setel di imi, kami pun duduk la menunggu pukul 8pg kaunter check-in Tarom bukak. gila kedekut airport nih. org dahla ramai, tmpt duduk cuma beberapa ketul so marila bersila atas lantai selama 3 jam T_T wifi pun takde okeh!

tak mkn pun sbb dlm flight baru brekfes. kemudian telah menyesal sbb kat Romania tak jumpa kedai halal T_T

then pukul 9pg check-in, naik flight Tarom sejam je dah sampai Bucharest.

utk flight ni mcm2 org yg kami jumpa. mostly musician dgn peralatan muzik yg besar-besar! kalau korang tgk duit lei Romania pun mmg ada simbol note lagu di situ kan. so mmg betul la Romania ni sgt mengagungkan muzik and ochestra mcm yg kita selalu dengar.

Tarom ni official flight utk Romania. perasaan adalah mcm naik Airasia. and stewardess dia pun lain drp yg lain. kenapa? emm tak perlu kot cerita kat sini.

so akhirnya pukul 11.30pg sampai ke airport Henri Coanda Bucharest...
seriously I can't believe that I'm now in Romania, the land of Dracula! *tampar2 pipi*

airport ni sangatla tourist friendly. wifi free di semua tempat and senang sangat nak cari arah untuk ke mana2. even time nak amik luggage kat belt tu pun ada tulis instruction, sesapa nak naik bas turun tingkat berapa semua dia bagitau.

so kami pun turun la ke tingkat bawah. jumpa money changer. so tukar la duit lei. 1 lei = RM1.10, tak byk beza pun dgn duit kita so boleh la shopping dgn gembira.

airport sini mmg murah rate dia. kami tukar 50 euro je dulu sbb takut tak abis.

kat tingkat bwh sebelah bus stand tu ada Carrefour. murah aih! air mineral 0.89 lei jah! aku tgk yg besar 1.89 lei so aku beli yg besar la. tak tau punnnn yg air mineral diorang ni bergas! cis

tu la seminggu sebelum pergi baru decide nak ke mana kan, so study pun tak abis. haha

air mineral dia ada 2 jenis, satu gas, satu tak. patutnya goncang dulu botol tu baru beli. if ada buih2 gas tu jgn la beli ye. aku nak telan pun tak boleh padahalnya haus gila kot. nak masuk balik dlm Carrefour tu takut tertinggal bas pulak.

haa tgk tu, kan senang sangat airport nih. kat KLIA pun tak senang camni. bas no. 780 utk ke train station, bas no. 783 utk ke pusat bandar. kami nak terus naik train ke Brasov di Translyvania so kena la amik bas no. 780.

ni tempat beli tiket.
orang2 Romania ni peramah gila! and very helpful walaupun diorg tak pandai speaking. mmg macam ayam itik la tapi alhamdulillah selamat dah semua. haha

kat Romania ni guna 1 tiket je utk 2 org.
time nak naik bas tu ada mesin yg kita kena press 2x for 2 person.

so dah selamat naik bas kira dah ok la kan?
rupanya takkk!
sbb kami tak tahu mcm mana rupa paras stesen Buchurest Nord tu!
so kami pun tanya la org2 dlm bas tu yg tak pandai nak explain dlm english...
ada sorang lelaki ni, dia dgn wife and anak dia. dia volunteer nak tolong kami, so dia ajak la turun kat stesen yg dia nak turun tu, sbb dia cakap bas ni tak pergi ke train station. sooo kami pun follow la.

dia bwk kami ke satu bus stand kecik. situ tmpt tram & bas berhenti. and dia belikan kami tiket bas utk ke train station. kena naik bas no. 105 pulak which is lagi 10 minit baru gerak. so marila menunggu di tgh panas ye. dia pula dah naik tram lain with his family...

so kami pun naik la bas no. 105 tu.
actually kat Bucharest ni banyak sangat train station that's why la org first yg tolong tu maybe dia confuse kami nak ke train station yg mana.

and dlm bas no. 105 tu pun ada org lain yg tolong bgtau, which is the correct train station to go to Brasov.

tapi best jugak la sbb kami dpt experience lalu ke tmpt2 di Bucharest ni yg jarang org pergi...

and dlm pukul 1 akhirnya kami sampai la ke Buchurest Nord train station.

sampai je terus la beli train ticket.
agaknya kebanyakkan train station mmg oldies gini kot. rasa mcm balik ke zaman dulu2 okeh. rasa mcm naik train Harry Potter pun ye jugak. tapi best gilaaa!

nak beli tiket tu pun dah satu hal sbb org tu tak paham english sgt kan. dia suruh kami ke information counter utk tau details and platform kat mana. so lepas dpt details tu, ingat nak terus naik train sbb lagi 20 minit nak gerak. tiba2 nampak pulak kedai jual simkad.

rasa mcm sempat kot kan. tapiii nak beli simkad pun dah satu hal! hish nape la diorg ni taknak faham english. nasib baik ada sorang customer tu pandai ckp romania so dia pun tolong explain pd kami in english. simkad tu kena beli dgn topup. so depends la ko nak topup berapa pun. aku topup 34 lei je. guna vodaphone sbb customer tadi ckp sini bagus guna yg tu.

then nak tunggu dia masukkan topup je dah berapa lama ha. takutnya if terlepas train. so drama berlari-larian pun bermula. kami bawak 1 luggage and 1 backpack besar so tak byk masalah.

bila dah jumpa train and dah duduk kat seat sendiri baru la legaaa. so, next is Brasov!

to be continued...

Romania : Part 1
Romania : Part 2
Romania : Part 3
Romania : Part 4
Romania : Part 5

my very first Eurotrip!

yezzaa we're going to Europe end of this month!
seriously I can't wait okeh.
coz this is my first eva trip outside Asia and of course sebab impian nak ke sana sejak kecik, kan. sejak my parents belikan hadiah atlas waktu sekolah rendah dulu. nanti Danish dgn Aaira darjah 1 aku nak belikan atlas jugak la.

and makin bergelodak nak ke Europe lepas tengok cerita Eurotrip time study kat U dulu. best gila!

By the way, idak la round seluruh Europe. banyak sgt duit ko kan. ni pergi 14 days je. and sempat cover 3 negara. nak cover byk2 setakat celup2 kaki buat penat je kan. so, Turki, Romania & Switzerland it is. Actually Turki tak pernah masuk dalam negara impian pun. tapi sebab nak ke Europe akan singgah Istanbul so dah alang2 kita round Turki terus ye. lagipun dia ada Grand Bazaar yg sangat best.

sebenarnya baru book flight ke Romania tadi. sbb tu excited nak tulis kat sini. lagi seminggu nak pegi, arini baru beli tiket. hotel semua tak book lagi nih. terer sgt kan. kot takde hotel mari pacak khemah kat airport ye T_T punca book lambat ialah sebab lakiku itu keje offshore so tak confirm boleh balik bila and start cuti bila.

my initial plan ialah Turki - Bosnia Herzegovina - Croatia - Macedonia - Kosovo - Montenegro - Bulgaria tapi terpaksa tukar plan sbb tiket last minute adalah mahal gila.

last week baru book tiket ke Istanbul. to fro RM3000 sebab lambat book! marah ni marah ni. padahalnya if book awal aritu dpt naik Singapore Airlines dlm RM2100 je! pembaziran RM1800 di situ. If nak naik dari Singapore pun ok, murah sikit dlm RM2600 tapi depart 9.30pg. so nak kuar rumah kul berapa tu? nak rentas imigresen kat tambak lagi, nak naik MRT lagi. confirm makcik terlepas flight.

if naik Airasia kena transit kat Tehran harusla cik hubby taknak padahal best kot dpt singgah kat Iran. tapi dari Iran ke Istanbul mcm leceh je nak kena cari flight lain so kita amik jalan mudah naikla flight yg direct ke Istanbul.

dari Istanbul ke Bosnia pulak mula2 dpt RM800 je, bila lambat terus la jadi RM1200 ha. so aku gi Skyscanner, tekan search dari Istanbul to Everywhere. yang paling murah ialah Cyprus, Greece, Ukraine, Georgia & Romania. Cyprus ialah pulau so nape nak gi pulau. sini pun ada pulau. Athens kat Greece pun tempat idaman tapi ia adalah 40 deg di musim panas. kofkofkof. lagipun if pegi Athens kena pegi Santorini sebab dah dekat. and masa yg kami ada cuma 4 days je before tour kat Turki so mcm tak sempat. hubby taknak Ukraine sbb tengah bergolak. and Georgia pulak kat Russia. apekah? lakiku ni memang bukan kaki travel. ni kalau bukan aku yg plan maka dudukla kami di Johor ni sampai bila2.

so arini bercadang nak survey hotel, nak buat itinerary for Romania, nak carik train station kat mana, nak travel by car or bus. nak carik tmpt mkn kat mana, kang tak pasal2 kebulur 4 hari tu kan. and nak carik bahasa apa diorg guna. kot jadi mcm ayam itik harusla ku download dictionary siap2. wish me luck k?

Romania mmg tempat idaman hati dari kecik sebab kitorang ni byk tengok cerita ahli sihir, Harry Potter sume tu. abg Ron kan keje tangkap dragon kat Transylvania tu. hmm maybe ku patut tengok citer Hotel Transylvania sebelum pegi. hehe. and of cos mmg sgt terpengaruh dgn Dracula so mcm tak sangka akan berjaya jugak ke sana, insya allah...

waaa akhirnya berjaya tulis blog balik. this is my first entry for this year okeh! and I plan to write at least once a week after this. chaiyokkk!

Maajun Anggun Bestari (MAB)!

lama gila tak menulis kat sini.
the usual reason kan, bizi dengan segala di kanan dan kiri ^_^

and yezzaaa we have another killer product in the house!
and the name is Maajun Anggun Bestari (MAB) ye.
Susah tau kami nak add another new product, kecuali la kalau produk tu mmg betul2 bagus and terbukti berkesan. And for this case, MAB mmg betul-betul berkesan okeh, sama macam produk NR. thumbs up to both of them!!!

Maajun Anggun Bestari atau lebih dikenali sebagai MAB adalah alternatif bagi merancang keluarga secara tradisional. Setiap wanita mempunyai kadar dan fungsi hormon yang berbeza-beza. Sesetengah wanita yang berkahwin tidak serasi dengan perancang keluarga moden seperti pil perancang, suntikan,memakai alat pencegah kehamilan ataupun secara IUD. Jadi mereka ini lebih sesuai merancang keluarga secara tradisional. Inilah jawapannya, untuk pengetahuan wanita-wanita di luar sana. MAB adalah ramuan turun temurun yang tidak mengandungi sebarang campuran kimia. MAB dihasilkan melalui bahan-bahan semulajadi yang diyakini khasiatnya berzaman-zaman dahulu.

Bukan setakat sebagai family panning je tau tapi ia banyak sangat benefit lain!

Antara khasiat dan kegunaan MAB :
1. Sebagai perancang keluarga bagi yang ingin menjarakkan kehamilan / family planning.
2. Merawat masalah dalaman wanita seperti masalah keputihan, kegatalan dan bau yang tidak menyenangkan.
3. Dapat merapatkan faraj bagi wanita selepas bersalin
4. Dapat memontokkan dan memejalkan kembali otot payudara.
5. Dapat menghangatkan dan mengeratkan hubungan suami isteri.
6. Dapat memanaskan badan terutama bagi wanita selepas bersalin.
7. Melancarkan peredaran haid setiap bulan
8. Membuang darah-darah kotor dan toksin dalam badan
9. Menyihatkan badan disamping menambah tenaga sepanjang hari
10. Dapat mencantikkan kulit selepas pengeluaran toksin di dalam badan
11. Mempertingkatkan kembali imum ketahanan badan, dimana badan menjadi sihat, segar dan kuat tiada lagi masalah seperti tidak bermaya atau tidak larat.
12. Melegakan perut kembung dan masalah angin di dalam badan
13. Melawaskan pembuangan air besar
14. Mengawal selera makan dan menurunkan berat badan
15. Mengurangkan kesakitan ketika haid (senggugut)
16. Mengurangkan risiko penyakit kanser dimana maajun warisan keluarga ini adalah 100% dari bahan tradisional jadi tiada langsung penggunaan bahan-bahan steroid dimana ia adalah salah satu kepada faktor penyebab penyakit kanser
17. Dapat melangsingkan badan bagi yang mengamalkan diet. Ini kerana akar-akar kayu ini bertindak sebagai penyikiran bahan-bahan toksin di dalam badan. Jadi badan menjadi ringan dan segala lemak dapat disingkirkan.
18. MAB memerlukan air untuk merawat dalaman wanita. Apabila wanita menyusu minum sekurang-kurangnya 8 gelas sehari, secara tak langsung dapat menambahkan air susu bagi wanita yang sedang menyusukan bayi.
19. MAB membantu melambatkan proses menopous yang mana ditakuti oleh semua golongan wanita.

MAB adalah produk tradisional dari herba, rempah ratus dan madu. Kegunaan MAB pada asasnya adalah “Family planning”. Walaubagaimanapun MAB juga bertindak sebagai ubat MULTIPURPOSE dalam penjagaan kesihatan dalaman / kecantikan wanita terutamanya bagi yang telah berumahtangga. MAB juga merupakan salah satu alternatif bagi orang yang kurang selesa dengan kaedah FAMILY PLANNING moden. Keberkesanannya dalam family planning adalah 99% sekiranya anda mengikut aturan makan yang betul. MAB juga boleh diambil oleh orang yang berumur 18 tahun ke atas, berkahwin/ belum berkahwin dan orang-orang tua (Warga Emas)

MAB di jamin bersih, (Suci lagi halal) tanpa perlu diragui lagi bagi orang Islam

Annoucement adalah seperti di bawah.

Price Revision for Malaysia - 15 February 2016 and 15 April 2016! 

There will be a price increase of selected AMWAY coreline products in early 2016. Since the last price increase in February 2013 for Nutrition & Wellness, and in April 2013 for Home Care, Personal Care, Houseware and selected products in the Hometech range, we have held our prices to enable AMWAY Business Owners (ABOs) to retain their customers who are loyal to our products.

The increase is due to higher cost of sales, covering labour, raw materials, finished goods, and other cost components, as a result of a weaker Ringgit and higher transfer price. Rest assured, we have deliberated on the quantum of price increase to ensure our products continue to remain competitive.

The overall weighted price increase will be 9.3%. The price increase will be done in stages to allow sufficient time for ABOs to advise their customers.

it will help me to overcome my anger someday.

This Mother's Reaction to Her Son's Fit of Anger Can Teach Us All a Lesson in Parenting

January 27, 2016 by Kathleen Fleming

This story from mom and blogger Kathleen Fleming of Majestic Unicornabout her son accidentally breaking a mirror in the house is absolutely inspiring.

This was my hallway last Wednesday.

Broken. Sharp. Treacherous.

This was my hallway.

It was my son who did this.

Sometimes, often really, things break — irreparably. And it takes your breath away . . . straight away.

It took my breath away when my son stormed into the bathroom, frustrated, angry, fed-up for his very own, very significant to him, reasons. And when he chose to SLAM the bathroom door, causing the heavy mirror mounted to the front to slip out of the hardware holding it in place and crash onto the floor — a million, BROKEN pieces were left reflecting the afternoon light.

I was quiet. I surveyed the damage and took a deep breath. Put the dog outside so he wouldn't cut his feet, put the cat in the basement for the same reason.

I walked into the backyard and felt the hot tears streaming down my face. It's amazing how alone you can feel as a single parent in moments like these. I realized how scared and disappointed I felt. Did this really just happen? Yes. This was real.

And as I stood and considered whether or not this was an indication of his developing character, I heard his tears through the window above me, coming from inside the bathroom.

His soul hurt. This was not what he expected either. Hello, Anger — I don't remember inviting you into my house.

Scary.

Terrified.

Ashamed.

Worried.

Scared.

Deep breath, #MamaWarrior. Deep breath. That small, fragile soul needs you right now. He needs your very best. Your biggest compassion. Your most gentle and firm mama love and reassurance. More deep breaths. Go Mama.

Go. Go now. Go open the front door, tiptoe through the broken glass, hear him hearing you coming, watch the bathroom door crack open, see the face you love most in the world red with worry and wet with tears, his voice is suddenly so small: "Mama, I'll never do it again, I am SO sorry." More tears. More weeping. Such uncertainty on his sweet face.

Go Mama. Get him. Go now. Scoop him into your lap. Yup, you're crying too. Damn this was big. Hold him tight. Watch how he curls into a ball in your arms so quickly. See how eager he is to be loved by you. To be reassured by you. See how small he still is. See how fragile that spirit is.

I love you.

You are safe.

I am right here.

The worst part is over now.

I've got you.

I'm here.

I love you.

Go Mama. Tell him about Anger. Tell him now. Anger is a really powerful feeling. You have a right to your Anger. Anger burns hot. It can purify. It can also destroy. He nods. He feels it. He's met Anger now.

There's a better way to show your big feelings.

We'll work on it together . . . tomorrow.

I'm here to help you.

You are safe.

You are never alone in your anger.

You are never alone in your fears.

I'm here. We're here together.

Now we will clean together.

And we cleaned up the broken pieces. We swept and we vacuumed. It was quiet work. It was careful work. It was thoughtful work.

Sometimes things break. Sometimes we break them. It's not the breaking that matters, the how or why. What matters is how we choose to respond to the broken-ness. Does it kill us? Does it throw us into a downward spiral of blame and punishment?

OR

Does it help us remember how to love deepest? Does it push us towards compassion and over the hurdle of "rightness" and "wrongness" into LOVENESS?

Yes. LOVENESS.

Go Mama. Go now. Get that baby of yours. Teach that. Show that. Live that. It's called LOVENESS. Go. Now.

We're in Lazada!

Dah 22 hari di bulan Januari pun kan.
And today baru sempat updet tentang benda paling best that happened to me sebagai pembuka 2016 dan penutup 2015 iaitu Lazada!

yey after all the hardship, we're finally in Lazada...
lalala~

I got to know about it when I was in the office.
Nobody call me pun.
And suddenly on 30/12, around 5.06 pm (ai still ingat waktu keramat itu okeh! keskeskes), I received my first order and that's when I know that it's already going live. ye saye telah menulis ini sambil sengih2. hehe

Maybe utk org lain, to be in Lazada is just something ordinary. but for me, it's quite a big achievement. sebab Charms & Colors bermula secara suka2, kongsi rahsia di blog ini, and now ia telah menjadi salah satu punca pendapatan kami dan para dropshipper kami. And to be where I am now is not easy ye (which akan dicerita pd next-next entry). And to be in the rank of Top-Rated Seller in less than 1-month time is just as unbelievable!

There're lots of thing that I have to do to be in Lazada. Kebetulan, time nak apply tu, my SSM dah expired. So I've to go to SSM office kat JB to renew the thing. And tak jadi renew but I have to create a new company sebab nak tukar nama lain. Actually nak tukar ejaan je pun but then, everything akan jadi baru, so it's like a new company. macam sayang la pulak sebab nanti our business age jadi zero balik kan. The actual date is 17 Mei 2012 but after the changes, it was 28 October 2015.

Then after dah setel SSM, I've to open a company account. yang ni aku dah cerita in my last entry --> the bad experience with CIMB P. Gudang.

Then, nak kena attend online training. if tak lepas training ni kena wait for another 6 months baru bole apply balik. which is, kalau aku ada byk masa terluang or if aku ni business full-time, bole la kot nak attend training ni senang2. unfortunately I am a full time worker plus mommy of 2 kiddos yg tgh ligat plus having a long distance relationship with cik hubby plus of course this online business, so agak kekurangan masa di situ utk kegiatan lain. and I've to attend the training within 24 hrs ye.

and of course I passed!
then bila dah setel training tu, kena uplod produk kat seller centre, which is there're strict criteria to be fulfilled. Everything kena follow the given guide, kalo tak, kena reject okeh. and sempat la pulak kan aku nak amik gambar pakai DSLR bagai. sebab selalunya memang encik Google yg memberi bantuan gambar.

and to get my product to be approved adalah gila lama!
sebab they have thousands of others to attend to.
then bila kena reject, kena queue balik.
tensen mak.
akhirnya dalam beratus-ratus of my product, aku sempat uplod 16 produk je and cuma 7 yang lepas ye.
itupun tak menang tangan mak nak handle order yg masuk ni ha.
and then payment terms adalah 14 days ye.
kalau ai ni duit berkilo-kilo kat bank takpe jugak.
Charms & Colors adalah 100% duit sendiri tanpa loan dari sesiapapun kecuali cik hubby. tapi duitmu kan duitku jua. keskeskes.

sebenarnya nak cerita secara serius but this is my blog okeh. I have another blog yg aku boleh menulis secara serius iaitu charmsandcolors.blogspot.com (yg agak jarang diupdet juga ;p) so kalau nak membeli-belah or membaca apa-apa tips, sila ke sana ya.

and another thing is, our official website is now http://charms.shoppy.my which akan diceritakan di lain entry jugak. heee

So, you know, these are like the highlights of my entire 2015 ye! lalala~

sorry but this is my personal blog.

the kindergarten!

I've been neglegting this blog. I know.
and it's a good thing actually.
It means that kepala aku tak berapa nak serabut dah.

Come to think of it, memang betul pun.
I only write when there're lots of things in my mind yg aku tak rasa nak luahkan di alam biasa.
ehem.

Anyway, tomorrow is 2016 ye.
Sangat cepat masa berlalu kan.

Danish is going to kindy next Sunday.
We lived in Jhr so school always starts on Sundays.
I hate it that school is off on Friday when I had to work on that day.

Hubby is also off on Friday/Saturday so I'm thinking of taking day off on some of the Fridays next year.
Macam kesian kat budak2 kan.
And leceh la nak balik kampung pasni.

So anyway, we've been kindy hunting for the past few months and bln 10 tu dah register kat Brainy Bunch pun.
tiba-tiba tengok, ada pulak Little Caliph baru bukak kat sini.

I've been eyeing on Little Caliph for sooo long.
I love their way of educating the kids with the English Medium Islamic Montessori kind of thing.
and the fees is quite acceptable.
Tapi time tu cuma ada kat Tmn Scientex je and no way that I'm gonna send Danish to that place sebab kawasan tu adalah gila jem okeh! people said that it's like masuk ke mulut harimau ye!

and then my fren said that CIC also baru open dkt Bkt Dahlia.

so telah berbelah bagi.
Brainy Bunch is RM630 per month. Registration and all = RM1650. Little Caliph is RM400. Registration and all = RM2090.

so sebenarnya lebih kurang je kot.
and we have to pay for another day-care sebab aku keje on Friday, and it is RM120 per month.

I don't get to check on CIC sebab aritu bila call je, they said already full, so malas nak tanya yuran.
There're lots of other good kindy around here tapi hubby nak yg sekali dgn day care so that Danish tak payah naik van.

kesian okeh kecik2 kena naik van.
even nanti kalau dia dah darjah 1 pun aku tatau macam mana nak bagi dia naik van.
saspennya.

I don't care much about the kindy actually.
Sebab Danish kecik lagi kot.
Biar dia main puas2 and enjoy his childhood life as long as he wants to.

Sekarang ni pun dia dah hafal beberapa surah lazim, al fatihah semua tu, so as long as he behave, pandai baca sikit2 then it's fine with me. Tak perlu la nak belajar sempoa bagai, dengan homework berlambak bwk balik rumah. He's only 5 okeh!

So this Friday we're going there for some briefing and parents meet-up.
not sure if hubby is going to be here this weekend.
he's been commuting KB-T'ganu-PG for almost every weekend now and I'm so kesian with him.
But then he's overly excited that Danish is finally going to kindy okeh. omak adalah tiada berperasaan, as usual.
haha.

So, until next year, bye!

sorry but this is my personal blog.

the company account.

Sangat leceh okeh nak bukak company account kat CIMB P. Gudang.

Last 2 weeks, I went there to open mine.
Sebab requirement from Lazada kan.
Kalau tak mmg aku just guna my current account je.
Then, pegi sana, bgtau motif aku datang kat sorang officer pompuan india tu pastu dia suruh tunggu kejap sementara dia borak2.

ye borak2 hokeh.
panas mak.

tunggu dekat setengah jam baru dia dtg kat aku tanya dah isi form ke belum.
tang bila masa ntah dia bg aku form, sibuk tanya aku dah isi form ke belum.
pastu dia gi balik kat tempat dia.
pastu tunggu lagi setengah jam baru la sorang officer malay tu datang bagi aku form utk isi sambil bgtau yg officer tadi bizi, tak dpt nak layan.

okkk fine.
this is sooo CIMB Pasir Gudang.

lepas isi form, dah stamp semua bagai, sibuk la suruh aku apply loan ASB sebab dia cakap aku takde introducer padahalnya aku dah memang ada current account kat sini okeh.
fineee!!!

aku gi CIMB Pontian dulu takyah la nak introducer bagai. RHB pun takyah introducer.
Maybank je yg suka introducer sume nih.
so bila aku ckp tanak apply loan, dia cakap nanti apa2 dia call balik.

after a few days, manager dia call.
he said, aku kena amik apa2 loan dari CIMB baru dia approvekan my application sbb aku takde introducer.
so aku ckp la kat dia, aku ada current account kat situ, aku mmg tanak buat loan apa2 pun.
tapi dia nak company current account as introducer.
so ok, aku bwk je la hubby punya company account tunjuk kat dia.
so, he told me to come over on Friday.

on Friday, aku datang, dia cuti pulakkk.
hangin tak?
pastu tak tinggal pesan kat officer dia pun.

pastu aku cakap kat officer tu, actually application sy ni boleh approve ke tak? kalau tak boleh, sy tak payah nak datang sini lagi sampai 5, 6x. buang masa. baik saya carik bank lain.
aku takat nak bukak current account je okeh! bukan nak apply loan ke mintak duit ke apa. ni siap nak bg duit lagi okeh!

then, a week after that, the malay lady called me. she asked me to fwd the emails from Lazada yg request for the openings of company account. so aku pun fwd la. the next day a chinese officer called me, bgtau yg application aku dah approve.
akhirnya okeh!

she told me to come over (again!) to fill up certain documents.
berapa banyak dokumen daaa.

so okeh, akhirnya berjaya jugak bukak akaun kat situ ye.
aku memang dah malas dah. baik gi RHB lagi senang.

for the cheque book, sila la tunggu lagi 3, 4 working days.
and the next Friday, I got my cheque book.

akhirnya, setelah 4 minggu, and 4x dtg ke bank, baru la setel semuanya.
one of the worst experience ever!
ingat senang kot customer nak kuar opis gi bank pastu nak tunggu berjam2 gini layan kerenah yg tak sepatutnya ada pun.
something yg sepatutnya boleh setel in a few days drag until a few weeks.
dari dulu sampai sekarang ni la dia punya servis.
elok la aku pegi CIMB Pontian, tak sampai setengah jam setel semua.

grrr!

Travelouge : K.Kinabalu/ Kundasang/Ranau (Part 3)

So this is the final part ye.
Ini cerita Part 1.
Yang ini Part 2.

Lepas turun dari Kinabalu Park, kami terus ke pekan Kundasang.
banyak chalet di kiri & kanan jalan.
tiba2 nampak Mile 36 lodge kat sebelah kiri.

actually aku book Kinabalu Pine Resort thru Booking.com. tatau macam mana, booking tu pegi direct ke Mile 36 lodge.

a few days before bertolak tu bila pihak lodging nak confirmkan booking, baru sedar yg sebenarnya salah tempat. so aku pun kensel la sebab dalam hati mmg nak sangat duduk kat Kinabalu Pine Resort (KPR) yg my officemate dok cerita tu.

pastu kelam kabut la aku call direct ke KPR utk booking sebab takut full sbb last minit.
nasib baik ada kosong jugak.
cuma tak dpt yg betul2 mengadap gunung la.

tapi bila lalu depan Mile 36 lodge, ahhh canteknya tempat tu! mmg betul2 mengadap Gunung Kinabalu tanpa halangan apa pun. tiba2 cam nyesal sbb kensel booking. dah la murah. RM120 je okeh.

then terus ke pekan Kundasang.

sampai di Kundasang around 2.30 pm, lunch dkt restoran Intan.

makanan dia sedap jugak.
Danish & Aaira makan sup ayam.
the others makan nasi goreng kampung, nasi patayya, nasi goreng ayam, semuanya not bad.
if dr arah KK, kedai dia belah kanan, dkt dengan roundabout.

lepas makan around 3.30 terus gerak ke Ranau.

on the way ke sana lalu depan Kinabalu Pine Resort.

belum check-in lagi sebab kitorang rushing nak terus ke Poring Hot Spring, Sabah Tea & Kg Sg Luanti takut tak sempat.

dalam hati, alamak... mcm tak best je resort ni, mcm moden sgt. dah la dkt area town, belah kanan pulak tu, sebelah jalan, confirm asyik dengar bunyi kereta je nanti. 

*down*

padahalnya tak masuk dalam pun lagi.

then sampai kat Poring Hot Spring dah pukul 4 lebih.

tiket yg guna utk ke Kinabalu Park tadi boleh guna utk ke sini. so sila jangan buang ye.

dah la sesat time nak gi Ranau, waze ni gi tunjuk jalan kampung pulak.

melilau la lalu celah sawah padi bukit, kebun sayur semua tu.

cantik memang cantik tapi tak sempat la nak gi tempat lain.

jauh jugak nak masuk ke Poring Hot Spring tu.

hubby layan budak2 mandi kat sana.

aku ngan my PIL tak mandi sebab macam leceh je.

dengan nak kejar masa lagi.

just rendam kaki je kat situ.

Ingatkan dapat naik ke Canopy Walk yg famous tu, tapi dia bukak pagi je. petang tutup.

*down lagik*

around pukul 5 ptg gerak dari situ.

tanya kat akak yg jaga kaunter tiket, mana jln nak pergi Sg Luanti, dia cakap dkt dengan Sabah Tea. tapi dua2 tempat dah tutup time ni.

*down banyak-banyak okeh T_T

lain kali kena budget masa betul2.

sebab Sabah ni siang dia awal, and cepat je malam.

tensennya tak dpt pegi Sg Luanti tmpt ikan tu.

Sabah Tea aku tak kesah sangat sebab ada Cameron Highland kat sini.

patutnya takyah gi Poring pun takpe ha.

huhu.

then terus la bertolak balik ke Kundasang.

dekat pukul 6 sampai kat Kinabalu Pine Resort.

dah gelap macam nak maghrib.

aku check-in and hubby bwk diorang pegi amik gambar kat dataran depan Gunung Kinabalu tu.

angin bertiup sejuk gila!
siang kat sini panas.
if kat Cameron aku rasa siang mlm sama je sejuk yg biasa2.
tapi kat sini, start pukul 6 tu mmg sejuk yg gila2!

and subhanallah... the place is sooo cantek okeh!

sangat berbeza dengan apa yg aku sangkakan tadi.

walaupun Mile 36 Lodge cantek juga tapi nasib baik la pilih resort ni.

everything is so beautiful here.

the flowers, all the pine trees, the sweet smell...

rasa macam taknak keluar pegi tempat lain dah.

our rooms was G3 and G4, betul2 kat hujung sana.

next time kalau pegi sini memang nak duduk bilik tu jugak walaupun tak berapa nampak gunung and mlm2 ada bunyi kereta.

lebih privacy sbb dekat hujung, ada taman, and bawah bilik tu ada mata air mengalir.

and the price is quite cheap.

time aku book tu tgh promo so harganya cuma RM172.50 per room inclusive breakfast & dinner ye!

above our chalet ada bilik yg sangat best lokasi dia. mengadap gunung and a bit isolated from others. 

I think that room must cost around RM300++

mannn how I love this place!

dinner was ala carte.

kari daging, sup cendawan, sayur chap cai, ikan masak sweet sour, nasi putih & chinese tea for 4 pax and add on nasi utk budak2 ni. sedap.

lepas dinner, keluar pergi pekan, beli stok makanan ringan. my FIL nak carik ubat batuk sebab dia demam + batuk dari aritu.

Kundasang is a very small town. and mlm mmg takde apa pun.

better it stays this way kot.

tenang, sejuk & aman.

the next day semua org tanak bangun sebab sejuk and best kat situ kan.

tapi takat nak tido, kat rumah pun boleh ha.

so pukul 7 pg aku bawak Danish jalan2 ke dataran tmpt tgk gunung.

bwk dia main kat playground, pegi kolam ikan kat situ.

tiba2 baca msg my sis, mlm tadi pukul 9 lebih ada gempa kat Ranau ye.

and Ranau is like few kilometres from our place okeh!

pukul 8 balik bilik, ajak semua org brekfes.

and brekfes was the usual buffet; nasi goreng cina, roti, butter & jam, etc.

after brekfes terus check-out and pergi ke Desa Dairy Farm kat Mesilau.

tiket adalah RM5 per pax. tapi jalan masuk memang teruk ye.

mmg sesuai guna 4WD.

sebenarnya takde apa pun kat situ.

souvenir keychain, fridge magnet. ada yogurt ice cream, food, and if nak bagi anak kambing/lembu minum susu, RM2 ke RM2.50 ntah. if nak bg mkn rumput RM1.50.

tapi pemandangan adalah super cantik.

dengan gunung Kinabalu yg berkabus. fuh2.

dalam gambar mmg mcm kat NZ ye.

tak lama sangat kat situ. then kami terus bertolak balik sebab nak pergi tempat lain.

tiba2 ternampak signboard Kiram's Village yg famous itu dkt2 area Desa Dairy Farm so aku ajak hubby singgah kejap.

that place is so beautiful okeh.
sgt penuh dgn bunga.
i'm not sure how to describe it but it feels so different here.
i'm not really exagerating but some places in Kundasang does feels a bit different from others.
macam satu dunia yg lain.

on the way tu singgah kat gerai sayur tepi jln, beli stoberi & cendawan.

sayur tak beli la sebab kang penyek je dlm flight.

then carik stesen myk tak jumpa.

sampai kat pekan Nabalu, tanya org yg jual kat gerai2 tu mana ada jual myk kete.

nasib baik la ada org jual kat rumah.

rumah ye rumah.

so singgah la beli myk kat rumah org tu.

dia simpan dalam stor je ha.

kot kalau meletup kang tak pasal2.

then singgah kat Tamparuli.

ada jambatan gantung merentasi sungai Tamparuli.

jambatan kat bwh tu utk 1 kereta je lalu at one time.jambatan gantung ni yg org kg guna, budak2 guna utk pergi sekolah.

pasar dia banyak jual cendawan yg best.

malas nak lama2 sbb dah panas terik tengahari.

terus ke KK, and as expected, hubby suggest lunch kat Nando's Oceanus Waterfront lagi. tempat feveret dia tu kan ^_^

then singgah kat pasar Filipina sebab my PIL nak beli ikan kering, etc.

kitorang tunggu kat kete sebab malas nak shopping lagi.

lagipun dah penat jln dari pagi.

tapi aku kuar jap beli ikan kering dgn rumpai laut kering.

terus ke airport, flight balik pukul 5.30 ptg, pukul 3.45 Kris dah tunggu kat situ utk ambil kereta.

tak sempat ke Tg Aru pun ha.

airport KK adalah quite small compared to Senai.

and sangat crowded.

nak park kete pun berlapis-lapis ha.

check-in pukul 4.30 ptg, pukul 4.45 masuk flight, tak tunggu 5.20, flight dah jalan.

awal la pulak.

maybe sebab semua dah ada kot.

tak sempat nak meronda-ronda sekitar airport pun.

kami dpt seats straight in a row mcm time pergi aritu.

Aaira pegang tangan dengan kuat and sgt behave mcm time pergi aritu jugak.

saspen kot.

pastu dia pindah duduk kat sebelah hubby and Danish pindah duduk sebelah aku.

time makanan lalu, Danish ckp dia lapar.

so order nasi ayam tapi abis la pulak.

nasib baik nasi lemak ada lagi.

and he finished it all!

i love to travel during kind of time.

it feels like chasing the sunset.

and reminds me of that 50 shades story.

my, my... tetiba terasa nak baca buku tu for the 3rd time okeh! sila bertahan. haha

landed at 7.30 pm, itu ini, akhirnya sampai ke PG pukul 9.30 mlm.
