Moving to london..

abm_moktar

Hi Ceri..

hmm abm pon tak sure. tapi according tu Bola, 1100 pound tu cukup if excluding house rental. may be Bola or forumer lain bole kasi feedback.

LSE ni kat mane ye? poskod? btw, ceri brp lame kat london nanti? bile nak pegi?

Bolayan

mungkin pesanan supervisor ceri tu sebab london biasanya

1. target of terrorist .. selalu ada bomb scare
2. selalu ada tube strike ... almost every now n then
    kalau ada strike only 1 or 2 underground operates, mmg haru
3. high cost of living compared to Manchester, Birmingham etc
    house rental is relatively expensive and rumah alahai, kecik ajerr


itu yg boleh bola fikirkan kenapa pulak dia pesan u avoid staying in london kot but to bola, staying in london is fun ... x nyesal punyer. Boxing day sale, year end sale is mabeles. Transport tip top ... makan no prob. Malaysians pon ramai.

Biasalah duduk mana2 pon ada plus n minus. Ikut pilihan masing2 ...

Bolayan

LSE nearest tube station is Holborn (central line) or covent garden (piccadily line) ..... in the heart of central london. Easily accesible .... Kalau u duduk area yg ada circle line, bley use station temple ...

InsyaAllah ceri akan pegi September tahun depan for 3 years.

TQ bola, byk membantu..

Bukan pesanan supervisor la bola, pesanan senior colleague, dia dulu study kat Bradford.

I dulu belajar kat lse gak, buat masters.. tapi dok kat zone 2.. near shepherd's bush.. 20 mins by tube central line.. sewa umah dulu kat situ studio (coz xde anak) around 135 per week inclusive bills (council tax, electricity and water).. my hubby and mine punya expenses termasuk rental around 1000 pounds a month.. kalau nak rumah murah, try zone 3 ke atas

a friend of mine duduk barking (zone 4, east side), a 2 bedroom house around 800 pounds a month tak termasuk bills.. situ byk melayu.. london ni kalau rumah mahal dari flat/ apartment

dah kerja ni sekarang i duduk north west london, kilburn (zone 2) a one bedroom apartment 630 all inclusive

tapi anywhere in London transport memang senang, takde hal.. if x cukup nak cover living expenses your husband boleh kerja, x perlu work permit.. my hubby buat mcm tu dulu

hope this helps!

Hi all,

lame tak masuk forum ni.. sbb dah tak gi ofis. klu Internet dr rumah ni susah sikit. my boy selalu kacau. ni tgh buat preparation nak ke London. Last week buatkan my baby's pasport. maybe next week baru bole buat Visa. sbb minggu2x sudah kat London ramai cuti..

baru smlm jumpe paeditrician mintak stock ubat for my kids. sbb kat london abm tak pernah nampak clinic mcm kat m'sia ni. may be system sane kain sikit. anyway, doc kate nanti he will prepare with accompanying letter sekali.  

abm_moktar

err nak tanye, kat sane klu rumah fully furnished standard ape yek? sbb abm nak carik yg ade dapur msk, oven, fridge, washing machine/dryer, cable tv n internet. yg lain tu mcm ade tapi cable tv & internet tu mcm takde je.. n i also understand klu ade tv kene ade lesen.. ok ke klu rumah tu tak de cable tv n internet but bile abm sewa, abm tambah sendiri? ke ni kene mintak kebenaran landlord..?

snowy

hi abm.tak perlu mintak permission landlord. mmg kena buat sendiri for internet n cable tv. but kalau nak jimat duit..tak pakai paid tv mcm sky,ntl pun boleh. just beli freeview boxset..dpt byk la jugak channel free.

n make sure ada tv liscense. kalau tak de tv tapi slalu buat online streaming ke pun kena ada tv license. depa ni ada alat special nak detect ada license ke tak. kalau kena...sia2 je duit bayar fine.

nashra

fully furnished tu merangkumi semua..

you tinggal bawak baju je..

macam i now renting fully furnished flat, 2 bedroom..

semua complete, even tv dgn free channel(banyak betul channel), dvd player, cd player, sofa, dining table sume tu..

kat dapur pun sama, lengkap segala cutleries, pinggan mangkuk dan segala peralatan nak masak termasuk la microwave and washing machine..

yang tak disediakan telefon and internet..

abm_moktar

thanks snowy..

err TV kat sane mahal ke? mase beli kat kedai, bole beli lesen TV sekali & subscribe kat NTI or sky ke? brp monthly yek? nti ni ade Playhouse Disney tak or cartoon channel? heheh bukan ape, untuk my little boy ni.. tak le die boring nanti..

sori byk tanye, sbb takut hubby busy nanti kat sane.. so klu dah tau at least senang le sikit.

abm_moktar

Nashra,

u renting kat mane? brp yek per month? or u r paying per week? sbb i memang mencari apartment yg fully furnisahed with cable TV & Internet. tapi kat Internet ni mcm susah lak nak jumpe..  hubby nak carik yg kat central london.. sbb senang nanti die nak gi keje. ke sbb kat central london n budget yg kite ade ni too low, sbb tu susah nak dpt yg ade TV & Internet?

nashra

i tak dok area london..

kalau kat my place ni per month renting 1500 pcm-2000 pcm..harga tu depends dgn berapa bilik juga..

tu dah termasuk water and electricity bill..

bayar bulan2 terus pada agent..

setahu nash kalau nak cari yang fully furnished harga memang mahal, tak kira daerah mana you duduk..

abm...seronoknye dgr u nak move ke london...actually i pun been thinking nak try move out from malaysia untuk cuba cari new career...i nak minta pendapat u guys...rasa2nye susah ke nak cari keje di london??kalau kita org luar nak keje di london mcm ne prosedur nyer??agak2 u all yg kat sana ada x link untuk rekomen i any job yg sesuai???thanks for ur opinion...

snowy

abm..kalau tv free tu kena beli freeview boxset. ada channel cbeebies. the kids will love it. tak dak iklan dr 6am - 7.30pm. me ni pun kena paksa tgk sampai hapal dah suma characters.

nanti bila u dah settle down suma..nak subscribe later2 to ntl ke..sky pun ok. kalau pi kat shop mcm currys,comet suma tu ada byk offer from sky n ntl (now virgin media).

tv license tu beli online je. http://www.tvlicensing.co.uk/index.jsp

hi erina,

i ikut hubby ke sane. hubby dapat posting kat sane. actually i excited & berdebar2x gak ni. ye la.. tak pernah jage my 2 kids sendiri. byk bende kene prepare.

rasenye hari tu ade thread pasal keje oversea ni..

abm_moktar

tadi ade surf website tesco uk. nak carik formula milk utk 2-3 year old. tapi mcm takde je.. err kat sane tak de growing up formula ke mcm Dutch Lady 123, Nespray etc? ke children sane minum fresh milk je.. by the way, klu bwk masuk susu dlm 10 kampit Dutch Lady for my little boy ni bole tak? rasenye ade custom tahan tak?  kang die ingat nak beniaga lak..

i also plan nak bwk bekal 1-2 kampit (1 kg beras), rempah kari, kurma, ikan bilis n cili kering, as well as keropok nanti. bukan ape, sbb nanti sampai may be tinggal kat servis apartment dulu b4 gi house hunting.. takut first few days tu tak nyempat gi beli groceries.. (beras especially..) . my little boy ni kang nak carik nasik..
worst case i beli fish n chip then msk nasik kasik die..    

lagi satu, klu bwk masuk rice cooker n blender ok tak?

snowy

hi abm..bwk je rice cooker. blender carik sini pun ok. tp kalau boleh bwk..bwk je.senang..tak yah carik2 later.

formula milk sini tak byk jenis. ada brand aptamil,sma,cow &gate n aper lagi ehh...anak i minum aptamil sbb halal certified. n susu SMA tu suitable for vegetarian. actualy budak2 sini bila dah setahun je mostly minum fresh milk.

actuallynye tak leh bawak susu....kalau boleh u shipping la..or suruh saper2 hantar pakai pos ke..incase kalau kena rampas kat kastam ke...tp tawakkal je..bawak je aper yg u rasa perlu..especially yg nak memudahkan u n ur little ones..sbb nanti pening sampai sini baru nak carik suma2 tu.

worse come to worse jgn susah hati sgt..sini byk restaurant yg jual nasi...so jgn risau sgt kay.

kalau susah sgt nak bwk blender, u pakai serbuk cili pun ok..lagi senang kot...tak yah nak blend2

abm_moktar
