Moving to london..

abm_moktar

work permit hubby baru siap.. next week can buat visa for my family.. insyaallah, end of Jan baru bertolak to London. huhu..going to miss my home & parents..

but also looking forward going to london with my darlings n beloved hubby..   i will need all the luck.. nak jage this 2 kids on my own.     just hope my little boy tak miss his grandparents that much..

just last Nov both my parents pegi Haji.. first couple of weeks tanye mane atok & nenek.. klu nangis kene marah.. (sbb naughty..) nangis sebut nenek die..  nak ngadu le tu.. abm lak yg sedih.. nak hilang kan rindu ckp telefon kat his atok n nenek.

this time b4 going off abm nak beli webcam.. at least die bole chatting  on the web nanti.. nampak le muke my parents nanti.. sbb tu la mengharap sgt rumah yg bakal dihuni nanti ade Internet..

i beli tv kat car boot sale, second hand dah dekat 2 thn dah guna.. ok jer.. harga dlm GBP20 jer.. selalu memang dia jarang kasik TV even fully furnished sebab sini kena ada license nak tgk tv.. my house pun fully furnished tapi takde tv and dvd player.. internet memang kena letak sendiri

abm_moktar

oic.. klu nak pasang Internet ni nak refer kat mane yek? maksud abm nak pegi mane? which company bagus? ade ke mcm TMnet ke.. or ade byk ISP yg kite bole pilih? which one yg bagus n good value for money. klu bole nak yg murah.

abm_moktar

oo.. lupe nak tanye.. kat london ni mane tempat ade car boot sale?   

aother thing nak tanye pasal insuran.. can we puchase insurance here?   ni for hospitalization & surgical & even dental .. ade ke? sbb hubby punye employer cover hubby je.. klu mcm family members.. kene pay first & reimburse later.. ni msk acc kat mesia..  leceh .. takut klu emergency mcm mane... buat klu credit card tak cukup.. naya je..

mshafiz

kalau nhs (national health service) ni free.. so surgery semua free and tak payah byr.. tapi nanti bila sampai sini kena daftar kat GP, cari clinic yg sanggup amik u as a patient.. tapi benda tu senang jer, takde clinic yg reject pun.. bila dah ada nhs card memang free.. bebudak sekali.. tapi kalau ada penyakit ke apa ke yg kena ada presciption from doctor baik bwk siap2 surat tu dari msia.. nanti senang nak ambik ubat sebab ubat kat sini memang kena ada surat doctor, susah skit.. tunjuk jer kat GP bila daftar nanti.. tapi ubat mcm pelik skit,coz setengah tu kena byr tapi setengah tu free.. sebab i jarang sakit so jarang pi clinic ni

as for dental, tak semua clinic free.. sebab tempat utk NHS patient terhad.. kalau lucky dpt lah daftar kat clinic sebagai free patient.. kalau u amik insurance kat sini pun senang jer,boleh dpt murah dari msia

Internet kat sini ada 2 jenis, satu kena guna phone line BT (British Telecommunications) and satu lagi tak payah.. kalau BT ni line rental dia dlm GBP10.50 and plus another GBP7-15 (ikut provider, pilih lah yg paling murah) for internet

Kalau tak guna phone line ada T-Mobile, 3, Virgin Media (setengah tempat jer dia cover) and Now (hanya West London).. I guna yang tak payah phone line.. yang mcm ni around GBP10 to GBP25 a mth ikut usage allowance.. lagipun mobile phone kat sini murah, and kasik byk free minutes utk call free.. so I hanya ada mobile tapi xde home phone

car boot sale kat sini byk.. yg besar kat New Covent Garden Market (area Battersea), Wembley pun ada.. byk lah nanti cuba check kat tempat duduk tu ada car boot ke tidak

abm_moktar

thanks mshafiz..

err.. bole ke kite register kat NHS n also amik insurans? klu register NHS ni mesti nak ade dokumen mcm pasport, birth cert, ID sekali kan..? photo pasport size nak jugak ke?

lagi satu, klu family planning nye medication mcm yg injection tu pon bole amik kat NHS ke? sbb i amik ubat yg inject tu.. every 2 months kene gi suntik.. kang tak pasal dpt lagi satu baby lak
may be ade forumer lain bole tlg bg feedback on this matter..?

klu insuran ni kite bole walk in aje ke kat memane insuran ofis? heheh.. kat mesia ni ade insuran agen .. kat sane tak tau lak..

kalau boleh bab baju tu abm tambah beli jacket kalis angin..

kat london sejuk dan berangin..(part ni nash memang sangat2 tak tahan..hehehe)

setakat baju sejuk wool memang tak boleh nak menampung kesejukkan angin kat london..

abm, brg2 tu semua u bawa sekali ke dlm flight? atau guna kontena?if u use kontena nak bawa susu takder masalah,

sbb me dulu mmg borong susu bebyk then movers yg packed..

alhamdulillah selamat sampai semua barang..

bestnya dpt gi london..

mshafiz

injection sini semua free kat clinic.. pap smear test, flu jab semua free.. kalau nak mintak kondom and contraceptive pills pun free.. hehehee..

boleh amik insurans jugak kalau nak, xde masalah.. diaorg tak kacau
insurans sini ada beribu company, beli online jer tak payah nak kena gi ofis.. try kat http://www.moneysupermarket.com

nak register tu pasport jer, kena pergi clinic buat appointment.. nanti bila dah settle diaorg hantar kad nhs ke rumah.. x payah photos pun.. tunjuk jer visa

susu sekarang dah xleh bwk masuk dah, anything from animal produce kena ban so baik post jer guna kontena

I attach kat bwh cara nak register with NHS, semoga boleh bantu

lagi satu lupa plak, bwk lah jaket tebal skit for winter sebab bulan 1 and bulan 2 memang sejuk ya amat kat sini.. dah la mcm tu kekadang angin pun kuat.. pagi tadi siap hujan lebat lagi.. sini kalau winter kena pakai 3 lapis, satu t-shirt, satu jumper (wool ke atau kain tebal sikit) and then jaket.. baru tak sejuk

kalau xde jaket memang menggigil.. teringat time first dulu dtg.. hehehe

abm_moktar

jaket kalis angin ni yg mcm ade span tu ke? yg mcm menggelembung sikit tu ke?

sbb yg tu utk my little boy ade.. tapi utk baby takde.. puas dah satu KL ni carik.. da habis.. tak sangkan lak ramai org beli bende tu.. or stock brg tu msk m'sia ni tak byk.. sbb tu cepat abis. hari tu ade jumpe kat mothercare tapi for baby 9-12 months. my baby pakai tengelam terus..   baju size anak mat saleh.. pakai kat anak abm besar yg amat.. hehehe..   mane lagi nak carik ni..

abm_moktar

hanna,

barang2x sume bwk naik flight.. abm tak pakai kontena walaupon facilty tu hubby bole pakai if nak.. hubby takut nanti kite dah sampai dulu.. 2 bulan kemudian baru brg sampai..  maybe bile nak balik nanti kite pakai kot.. susu plan nak bawak msk as hand luggage 1 pack.. nanti dlm flight my boy nak minum.. ke powder milk ni tak bole bwk jugak.. mcm liquid..?   klu tak bole, abis le.. mcm mane my boy nak minum susu..

3 paket lagi nak try simpan dlm beg baju.. yg ni check in. bhn makanan lain (rempah2x etc.) isi dlm kotak je.. lps tu check in.  mintak2x lepas la.. last 2 years pegi, custom tak check pon.. susu baby sume lepas..

tapi kali ni bwk 4 bungkus je susu.. ingat nak angkut dlm 10 bungkus. tapi hubby kate kang kene buang kang, rugi jer. btol gak..

hanna1905

alahai sayangnya tak amik kontena..sbb tak semestinya 2 bulan kontena tu br sampai..
sbb masa i dulu tak sampai 1 bulan kontena dah sampai...

rasanya yg melambatkan proses penghantaran tu masa kat port kot...
tunggu other brg2 lain yg nak delivery sekali, dah cukup kuota baru la berlepas..
mungkin masa i tu dah nak cukup kuota kot tu yg cepat sampai..

abt susu, i mmg bawak susu tepung utk anak2 bcos i predict sure my anak2 tu tanak mkn,
i masukkan dlm bekas sukatan susu tu, menyenangkan kita tak yah nak sukat2 dan suruh jer stewardess tu buat..

susu tepung yg u nak bw dlm luggage, insyaallah harapnya tadak menda....lepas la tu harapnya..

abm_moktar

mshafiz,

adik i just inform me yg NHS ni dah tak provide free medical service to visa holder lagi btol ke? die kate since ade Britain new PM ni.. even student yg nak mintak pon tak dpt.. then even klu dpt buat check up, ubat sume kene beli sendiri.. btol ke?  

in that case i nak beli insuarnace for myself n kids la nanti kat sane..

abm_moktar

hanna,

i tak tau bole suruh stewardess buatkan susu anak.. last time i sume buat sendiri.. mintak stewardess isikan air panas je..    hehehe.. lps ni habis la.. bukan takat buat susu, tukar diapers pon i suruh... heheh

hanna1905

abm,

tgk stewardess gak la, in my case dah push button byk kali pun tak dtg lg tu yg i pegi counter food, kebetulan dorang ada tanya i nak apa then i bg jer la botol dan susu tu skali..

nashra

kalau utk baby beli besar sket pun tak pe..

baby boleh terbungkus dlm baju sejuk tu, kurang sejuk..

cuaca kat london tak menentu..kadang2 ok, kadang2 tersangat sejuk gitu..dan selalu hujan..

tapi kalau abm dah ada basic sampai london abm boleh cari kat kedai2 jual winter clothing ni..better lagi quality nak tampung kesejukkan..

anak2 abm nanti pakai stroller? jgn lupa raincover time jalan2..ni nanti kat sini mothercare pun ada..raincover tu nash pakai bukan lindung hujan tapi lindung sejuk pun ye..hehehehe

nashra

i naik flight itu hari semua i buat sendiri..

except susu sebab my anak2 dah minum fresh milk..(4 yo and 2 yo)

time i nak tukar diaper i panggil stewardess jagakan my anak yang lagi sorang tu...

lepas tu meal utk anak2 you dah minta belum masa booking ticket?

make sure you bagitau MAS kalau anak2 you ada allergy to any kind of food..tanya menu apa diaorg serve that day..

make sure ingatkan diaorg masa you check-in..walaupun dah masuk system sometimes diaorg lupa..benda ni pernah jadi..

lepas tu during long hours tu minta aje apa2 kat stewardess/steward like colouring stuff, mainan ke, anything so that boleh elak anak2 bosan..

do not hesitate to ask them anything sebab kalau you tak minta diaorg tak ambil peduli..macam my case ni siap minta assistant to assist i during my arrival sebab i travel alone dgn dua anak..

if you are not sure of anything boleh aje tanya MAS tu apa diaorg provide utk passenger yang ada anak2 kecil ni...

abm_moktar

yer btol ckp u nashra.. tq. i'll keep that in mind..  

i dah request for baby meals n bassinet. nanti mase check in i wil tanye lagi..    klu hubby i die tak suke i kejap2x tanye .. tapi i nak tanye gak. better be safe then sorry.. bukan ape, kenkadang naik MAS ni die org lbh bg priority pd foreigner.. so sometime kene buat muke selambe je..

abm_moktar

er nak tanye lagi.. office hubby dah book this hotel. Park Plaza Riverbank hotel in London. jauh tak dr malaysia hall?

dah sah2x tak bole masak ni..
