My Europe Winter Trip

Hellow mellow...

Today i would like to wish Happy New Year to all. Is it not too late right?Hope this year will be a wonderful year than last year!

I had a wonderful time ending my 2010. We went for a trip to Europe, 1st stop is at Loughborough then Manchester. From Manchester we went to Kent and from Kent before coming back home we drop at London for shopping.

It was my 1st experience travel to a country having a temperature of -4deg. woohoo....it was so cold and alhamdulillah with the help of God i am doing well all the way.

Just wanted to share with all of you my parents preparation before our holiday :

1) Make sure everything is well prepared such as medicines. A week before take-off my parents went to a clinic where i used to 'cry' (sbb kena cucuk) and ask for all related medicines. Doctor told my mom on the first ubat to eat if i get sick, then the alternatives ubat.In case i don't recover i will need 2nd alternatives ubat then 3rd alternatives ubat and finally the antibiotic. Eventhough it is a bit to much to have the antibiotic but at least anything happen and i really need it i can easily find it. Bye Bye fever pon jgn lupe ye. Ambik mcm2 ubat but none of it we all guna. Syukur sihat throughout the holiday.Ohhh jangan plak mintak ubat kasi tido.....tak elok la....doctor kata nanti dier akan a bit cranky kalau dah bgn ....n furthermore tak bagus for baby kan...i know org putih slalu gunakan kaedah ini.

2) Travelling aids. For stroller just make sure that it is the lightest stroller you have, you baby loves it so much that she/he can easily sleep in it. To further make it more comfortable and warm, ibu bought the footmuff. Hardly to find it but alhamdulillah dapat jugak bli dekat plaza damas...hehe. Other than that, i must admit children yg tahu berjalan later,after penat duduk dekat stroller, she will ask nak dukung + walking. So we decided to buy toddler carrier. Just imagine mane nak cari carrier for 1 year ++ child plus weight 12kg? hehe....after doing some research, ibu dapat jugak jumpe. of course bli awal nak tgk keberkesanan nyer to my little gurl.FYI, 2 hrs before landing di stansted(yelah we all guna Airasia) Qasih sleep in it and until the airport mase imigresen she still sleep dekat carrier tue. Alhamdulillah berbaloi2 ibu beli...hehe.

3) Makanan , my doter used to eat nasi. So kalau rase mcm dier tak mkn nasi for a day rase mcm tak puas tgk dier mkn.So we pinjam my parents cute periuk nasi to bring along during the trip. At first nak guna tupperware punyer periuk nasi but then figure out tak semua hotel ade microwave we decided just to bring periuk nasi. And sangkaan kami benar belaka....memang semua hotel yg kami stay takde microwave. Then we bring extra 3 packet of her milk. Biscuit rusk and biscuit cream creakers. Beras we all bungkus in case mase smpai tak sempat nak cari beras. I also bought instant porridge cop megi tue in case malas nak cari beras.

4) Inside the plane, we bought several toys for her. Playdoh, robot, puzzle etc. To further increase her time and concentration, we even ask toy'r us staff to wrap it. So qasih is much more excited to tear and open it. Mcm suprise la. During our flight from KL-LONDON we all duduk dekat ujung kapal terbang so area dier mcm luas sket. Qasih has enough place to play around so she don't easily get bored. Usik orang sane cni and tido pon senang. We even packed a comforter for her to sleep. So her trunki is fill with her comforter plus Zoobies. Search for zoobies and you and your child will definitely like it so much!So comfy and cute!Ohhh ya....jgn lupe mase balik bli toys lain because your child gonna be bored kalau main toys sama kan. In your diaper bag. Just make sure you have extrasssssssssssssss diapers. hehe...i brought about 10 diapers mase pegi but then balik Qasih pooo a lot so diapers dier ckop2 je byk kali kena tukar. N dier poo mcm cirit je. Nasib baik mase beratur nak check in tue dah aim sape lagik bwk budak kecik nak pow diapers kalau tak ckop hehe...itu sangat penting okkkk

5) Sighseeing, just make sure you have enough lotion to put on your child skin to avoid dryness. Yelah mase sejuk, kulit akan rase sejuk n gatal2...so i bought several cream for her to prevent that happen. But actually i notice Johnson n Johnson cream is OK to use. U won't need expensive or special cream for that. Cause Qasih used that everytime after taking her to bath. so tgk nothing happen. Lip balm pon kena pakai for her. alwaysssssssssss.....

Well thats a bit about our preparation and experience during the trip. Bring a toddler for a holiday is really a challenging experience, not all parents want to bring their small children for holiday mase kecik2 sbb katanya payah la susah nak manage la....but actually you will surely enjoy/fell proud if you succesfully manage her/him. Furthermore i believe if you used to bring her exposed to anything she will try to adapt the situation.

"To my little gurl, Qasih i am so proud of you. You behave good throughout the holiday. Our 5hrs journey from Manchester to Kent, most of the time you sleep all the way. Tido pon senang alhamdulillah. Ibu n daddy will surely bring you to explore and learnt the world next time. So that you will be thankful to Allah. Hope you enjoy the time we spend together and we love you so much"
