Preparation travel to Perth, Australia Part 1

merancang trip bersama baby adalah sangat berbeza dengan trip with two babies or single backpacking. so kalau anda berbeza sikit dengan saya boleh ambik mana sesuai dan abaikan mana yang tidak sesuai okay? 😉

i planned this trip for us both and a baby in mind. faham2 sendiri kalau ada baby means masa kena sangat fleksibel. so saya memang sengaja ambil masa dua hari extra. sehari for trip ke sana dan satu hari trip balik. no rushing.

LUGGAGE 20KG

-kena ambil luggage sebab saya bawak makanan from malaysia.(makanan tak boleh bawak masuk cabin.) sekali makan kat australia for two people will cost u around $30. bila convert to rm more than RM90. so pandai2 la rancang kewangan. (kata trip jimat. kenalah masak uolls)

- barang baby sangat banyak. sebab trip saya for 9 days. pempers anak pun dah berpuluh2 keping perlu bawak.(bajet pempes 4keping sehari. pempes pun kena bajet tau.. kalau lebih takpe. kang tetibe xcukup pempes satu hal pulak nak kena beli pempes kat sana. susu anak lagi..macam2 lahhh)

bag luggage hitam check in
bag luggage merah bawak masuk cabin
bag galas hitam masuk cabin. bag ni isi barang baby and barang personal. satukan dalam satu bag je sbb tak cukup tangan nak bawak banyak bag.

*bag biru tu xbawak pun.

STROLLER BABY + BABY CARRIER

- as for me. my anak memang biasa duduk dalam stroller so i know yang she will spend most of her time kat stroller je. berjalan kat sana with stroller sangat mudah sebab all places sangat mesra bayi dan OKU. even busses pun ade ramp yg memudahkan stroller naik or turun bas dan ada tempat duduk khas utk parents with stroller,

- stroller jugak berfungsi sebagai tempat letak barang2 berat bila xlarat. LOLS. 😄😄😄 tak menyesal lansung bawak stroller. saya bawak yang compact je. kecik and one hand fold. berat 5kg je stroller tu. tapi sangat selesa utk baby cos boleh recline if baby tidur. senang cerita i love everything about the stroller.

-baby carrier ni mula2 ingat takkan guna tapi nasib baik tangan ni tetap capai and bawak juga kesana. rupa2nya sangat berguna sebab anak saya demam for two days kat sana. so she was a bit cranky and nak melekap 24jam. thats when carrier ni membantu. sambil anak melekap akak masih boleh pose2 and jalan makan aiskrim. gitewwww

penerbangan selama 5jam setengah. memerlukan planning awal untuk isi masa kosong baby.
 bawaklah mainan yang anak boleh explore. seeloknya yang baru.

plan saya adalah 5jenis mainan yang dikeluarkan setiap jam.
jangan bawak keluar semua sekaligus. baby cepat bosan. so sejam keluar satu. pastu jam kedua keluar yg baru pulak.

TEMPAT TINGGAL

- ini salah satu antara benda yang penting bila dah berfamily. kena fikir macam2. anak nak bergolek. mak nak memasak. suasana yang selamat untuk baby. nak ada tempat untuk memasak. nak ada mesin basuh sbb nak duduk lama. takkan nak bawak 9psang baju sorang. 4 luggage pun tak cukup.

- saya tempah tempat tinggal melalui airbnb. sebelum ni kalau travel dalam malaysia saya akan guna bookings.com untuk tempah hotel. tapi untuk 9hari 8 malam kalau nak tempah guna booking.com memang agak mahal. airbnb ni adalah satu cara untuk cari tempat tinggal mengikut apa yang kita nak dengan kos yg kita nak jugak.

- antara aspek penting bagi saya adalah dekat dengan public transport sebab kami tak sewa kereta di australia. memang travel 100% by public transport. selalu saya baca blog kalau travel ke australia mesti sewa kereta. kalau anda sewa kereta lagi senang boleh pilih tempat mana2 and lagi banyak pilihan yg lebih murah.

- for 9 days and 8 nights we spend rm1570. so sehari below rm200 je untuk macam2 jenis kemudahan yang ada. kalau tempah hotel lagi mahal tau. boleh cecah around rm3000. sebenarnya ada harga rm1200 tapi saya lambat book so dah full tempat yang murah tu.

- airbnb ni kena book guna kad kredit. saya ni memang jenis xde kad kredit so mintak tolong kawan bayarkan pastu saya transfer kat kawan tu. (pandai2lah nak hidup kan. heheheh)

ini unit yang kami sewa melalui airbnb. luas and selesa. ada semua kemudahan yang kami nak.

PEMBAHAGIAN TUGAS.

- dengan bag yang banyak. baby sorang. nak berjalan jauh pulak tu. kami dah bahagi tugas awal2. husband in charge untuk bawak semua bag. saya pulak in charge stroller with baby and dokumen perjalanan.

- benda ni penting tau supaya tak kalut masa kat airport atau masa naik flight/bas. taknak ada benda tertinggal atau lagi teruk tertinggal anak. hihihihihi

pintu depan unit kami. ade ruang untuk duduk lepak petang2 and ade jugak tempat utk bbq tapi kami xguna pun. xsempat nak bbq pun..



inilah periuk nasi mini yang saya bawak ke sana. ni boleh masak nasi sambil rebus telur pada masa yang sama.

punca tenang pada Allah sahaja

these few days.
rasa mcam dapat enlightmen.
jadi doa banyak berubah dua tiga harini..

terasa berbeza sikit berkah rezeki kali ni..
tapi taktaula.
sebab perasaan atau sebab apa..

cuma sebelum ni.
memang amalkan surah al-waqiah.
tapi...
melalui cara yang salah..

alwaqiah ni kalau nak paling berkesan.
memang kena baca selepas isya'

insya allah awak pun boleh rasa beza.
dari seawal yang mungkin..

doa sangat penting..
sebab time kita susah,
kita akan nak sangat banyak benda dalam hidup

dan bila kita senang,
kita akan rasa bahawa hidup ini tiada erti
sebab segala yang kita nak, kita dapat.

sunguhlah,
bahawa dengan ingat Allah sahaja
kita akan jadi tenang.

dunia yang susah tak terasa susah bila ingat Allah.
kesenangan yang membunuh erti kehidupan pun tidak terasa terlalu sunyi bila sentiasa ingat Allah.

semoga Allah sentiasa merahmati keluarga kami dan semoga Allah limpahkan rahmat dalam kehidupan kami serta keberkatan dalam rezeki kami..

makeover living room under RM 100

hi guys.. its April 2018 already?  

time flies so fast. im going to be 30 next year. 

OMG...

Lord have mercy..

so, what have you guys been up to?

im just trying to work towards my 2018 goals.

so i focus on redecorating my home.

few days ago i decided to give my living room a makeover.

but i limit my budget to under RM 100 only.

i know, crazy right....

so heres how it look now.

my beloved sofa.
i just give it a more tropical feeling.
since its crazy hot nowadays.
instead of buying the new throw pillow,
i just bought the cover.
flowery throw pillow cover : rm 7.90 x 2 = RM 15.80 (kaison)
pink plain throw pillow cover : RM 5.90 X 2 = RM 11.80 (kaison)
green throw pillow cover : RM 7.90 ( MR. Diy)
the gold throw cover my  old one.

basically what i did here is i just give my small coffee table an upgrade.
how? i just cover it with wallpaper with marble pattern.
it really gives the table a clean look.
and i bought a turqoise plate to style the table.
the plate gives a pop of colour, and also function as a catch all plate.

turqoise plate : RM 4.90 (kaison)
marble wallpaper : RM 3.00 for 2 metres (MR. Diy)

this is my entryway. and also where i store my child's toy.
what i did here was just change the flower
with monstera leaf which is a hit now.
and also for the tropical vibe

i also give the table an uplift with marble wallpaper.
the box for the toys too.so they will have a cohesive colour scheme
and also ties the entryway with the coffee table.

i also change the curtain here to white curtain to make it feels breezy here
it was a very see through curtain but i sew a layer of white cloth to give more solid look
because a transparent curtain is cheaper and i already have that white cloth at home.

marble wallpaper : RM 3 for 2metres ( MR. DIy)
monstera leaf : RM 5.50 X 3 = RM 16.50 (kaison)
white curtain : RM 14.90 (MR. DIy)


so below is the before and after photo of my living room.
i also did some cleaning and organizing.
the total cost for this make over is just RM 77.80

way under Rm 100 budget.
so currently im looking for another under RM 100 project to tackle.
so if u happen to have RM100 to spend for your makeover.
let me try and do my best for you.

just make sure you stay in kelantan because i cant travel now.
or if u want to do this together,
you can contact me tru ig @byamalinabdullah
we can discuss things over and maybe i can find the stuff and get them post to you.
im excited already..

left : before         right : after

left : before           right : after

so thats all from me now. actually i already have change the layout

of my living room because i cant stay still. LOLS

but lets save that for later.

i hope i will post more often here. 

hope i have the time to do it too.

goals 2018

what i want to be:

1. room stylist. to be able to style homes which functions. not just a pretty room.

2. a good violinist. i might need to buy a new one. and attend class with my child. start from bottom again.

3. to be able to give more money to my parent and my in laws.

im trying to be a person who gives more and achieve something more than myself.

sebelum ni, my life motto was i live for myself. everything i do, asalkan aku happy.
everything i do was to make sure im happy.

now i know that i can never be satisfied with my life like that.
dulu aku rasa bodohnya orang yang buat sesuatu just untuk buat orang lain bahagia.
now aku mula memahami..

sabar dan diam walaupun dalam kemarahan.

senyap dan senyum walaupun dicaci hina.

terus kuat walaupun semuanya sedang berkecai.

thats what makes u a strong person.

u can do anything you want but u hold yourself so that u will be a better person.

just senyap, senyum. paling ke belakang dan terus berjalan.
tetap menjadi seperti pokok rendang yang menggugurkan buah walaupun dilempar dengan batu.

i cant relate.

beberapa hari lalu, aku ke KL.
atas urusan nak attend majlis kahwin one of my friends from utp.

dapat jumpa balik kawan-kawan lama, memori masa study datang berderu-deru? hehehe

good old days....

macam biasa kami borak-borak. all my friends are succesfull, and aku rasa diri aku tak cukup succesfull pastu aku moral down sampai harini. huhuhuhu

tapi all of them make great sacrifices in their life.
ada yang PJJ.
ada yang jaga anak sorang-sorang while PJJ

tabik betul dengan mereka-mereka ni.
i could never do that.
even aku ada suami yang tolong uruskan Alika,
aku still rasa sangat penat everyday.

one of them even wake up 5 am everyday just to drop her son at nursery before going to work.
hats off girls. you girls are all strong willed girls. and im not one of them.

 sadly..
i can never be that kind of girl.

as strong as i might look. i cry almost everyday.
and aku pun tak tau kenapa aku cry. hahahaha
the only reason that i can think of right now is that
aku jadi lebih lembut hati after kahwin and ada anak.

 i cry over EVERYTHING... everything... hahahaha

i mean bukanlah cry yang macam putus cinta tu,
ni jenis yang tengok citer sedih pastu cry pastu mula lah cari husband ade kat mana sbb nak peluk..

manja tak???
hahahahah
wekkkkk
muntahhhh

betullah....
Allah bagi apa kita perlu.
bukan kita nak.

aku tak pernah tahu pun aku perlu suami almost 24hours with me.
aku ingat aku boleh jadi isteri independant yang kerja kuat, balik malam n berdikari.

well, im not. aku jenis surirumah sangat..
rupa-rupanya cita-cita aku selama ini adalah diri aku yang sebenar.. hahahahahaha
