Packing list to Iceland-women things

After numbers of travelling with kids, I will in general pack without an excessive amount of idea, however when it came to what to pack for Iceland, I discovered it fairly overwhelming.boleh pulak blur packing for myself..... I'm not used to heading out to extremely chilly places (you mean subzero ? )and I additionally realized that the climate there is renowned for being flighty or inconsistent. In any case, I did my research and wound up with a perfect packing list for Iceland. To spare you the inconvenience, this is what I carried with me. This is my 7 days in Iceland suggestion for clothing in January winter trips and I hope it suits you too.

1.    Winter coat –either with fleece attached or separately

2.    Fleece jacket -1

3.    Fleece Legging-2

4.    Thermal legging-1 just for additional layering

5.    Waterproof pant-1

6.    Thermal shirt long john-3

7.    Shirts-2

8.    Jumper-2

9.    Socks-4

10.    Thermal socks-3

11.    Hot pack-hand and foot warmer 1 packet or minyak panas if you want

12.    Camera/go pro/phone camera

13.    Waterproof boots- you can bring other shoes for casual-make sure your shoes are comfortable. I used the waterproof boots that I already have.

14.    Shoe spike-definitely a yes yes to bring because you might walk on a slippery surface.I bought a pair of shoe spike at the store. It really helps!!

15.    Hand glove-waterproof or you can have it with the touch screen gloves for taking pictures      ( you wouldn’t want to take pictures with a bare hand)

16.    Snow hat /mouth cover because if the wind is strong you will freeze your face and mouth (karang beku mulut hidung)

17.    Scarf

18.    Portable charger( important)

you might want to add any extra little things such as medicine (flu/fever/stomach-ache/dizzy) any related to your health things, extra foldable bag, waterproof cover for your equipment’s (camera/go pro)

If you want to look different each day just pakat la with your friend to exchange the jacket or the scarf to give different hues to your look. (up to you la)

Make sure the colour is bright as it is winter. (You know what I mean).

There are numbers of tour available you can definitely check it.

We book a car through blue car rental (a 4x4-wheel car )as we feel more confident to drive in this kind of trip (and weather).

I took travel insurance from ETIQA takaful travel. my other friends took AXA, Chubb travel insurance. But after some delayed of our flight and luggage, I found out that Etiqa takaful travel insurance satisfied my claim above all the other insurance.(i already explain in another post)sila ambil travel insurance

Since we have discovered the apps for searching Aurora, we do recommend you to upload it on your phone. It will alert you when is the time of the Aurora passing by, where is the nearest place for you to search for it..definitely the best and reliable!

you may need to always check for the latest weather and safety report while you on the road.is and few other websites.

Northern light aka aurora borealis in Iceland -my girls trip bucketlist... TICKED...macam mana nak cari aurora borealis tanpa gunakan tour

Sorry, not sorry ...it has been so long not writing this blog...

Many travel venture I have skipped, but will try to challenge myself to keep on writing about it. Hopefully, I still remember the itinerary....#siscuba..but this I cant skipped anymore to tell you about ...

I'm just excited to share my previous travel trip with my girls' friend aka #girlstrip. This gonna be the first ever trip after having my 3 Lovely daughters. It is actually just a quick call from my bestie asking whether I could join her with 2 other friends to Iceland....and I was like Iceland what?

Are you serious Norm? (my friends name Normah)

 I'm just laughing, and she continues saying she got an email offer saying that there is a discount offer to go there...blah bla..bla...so without knowing what am I going to do there?

'ok, I will ask my en hubby whether he is ok to take care of my girls '... I replied

I have a dream la to go to Switzerland with my bestie...just because I love to see that drama Cinta Jangan Pergi...hahhaa....berangan but apparently not happening yet, so I was thinking ok, la Iceland as long as I have a girls trip...

I have a sceptical mind where I don't think my hubby gonna let me go as he is so busy with his work .so when I asked him.

ok, .you should go B...you have been so long at home taking care of the girls ...

say

what?

you should have seen my blurred face

are u gonna be ok with the girls cause u are so busy with the works etc....bla blah... can u take care of the girls...

Of course...he said spontaneously...

and the rest is history...

So being a good friend... I was just listening to my friend plan. I totally have no idea what are we going to do, the itinerary and so on...

she said

I want to see the northern light you know the aurora the green light? and then we go to Dilwale location the Hindi film...the one shah rukh and Kajol...and so on so off...

of course, as a fan of the Hindi movie especially Shahrukh-Kajol movie definitely a go plan...hahaha

Ooh ok... I just agree .. I only need a girl trips u see...

Since we go there early in February and it is still winter..we might be facing some road closure and rearrange the plan..so we decided to go for a golden ring journey rather than ring road journey, and of Course, I intend to be safe and enjoy the trip and why the rush?. Iceland, the driver, is on the left, so this is going to be the first time driving on the left side plus icy road...whos driving... of course not me.

So where is the northern light?

From the first night, we have no idea how to search it (actually, I am not that excited at first .. I just want to enjoy travelling), and we only bluntly refer to one other blog that we have read, and refer the approximate time that they have seen the aurora borealis which is around 4am.

Like seriously we have no idea on how to search for it..we have visited the weather forecast web that shows the aurora information...

hahaha... the situation is quite funny cause we are like some silly girls go out from our hostel and randomly drive anywhere and look at the sky...and it is -13C.sejuk giler

Nevermind, but this is the sweetest, funniest thing that happens to us so that we can appreciate more.

Me myself who doesn't have an interest at first to search for it has become more excited after talking to another traveller next door telling that they went out around 12 am that night to see the northern light.

Even though my friend without fail keeps on waking us telling to giddy up ready to go out and hunting for the Aurora.

Where did you see it? i asked our cottage neighbour  alamak ..why o why we didn't wake up last night..tido mati ...

There...his hand showing just at the back there. Behind our cottage...

just drive out 5 minutes...he continued explaining.

Oh ok...denggg... I said to my self while recalling how comfortable I have slept that night because we been everywhere during the day time.....and it's so freaking cold....ok I need to blame that cosy small the cottage which contributes to my comfortable sleep...hahhaha

meanwhile, my friend keeps on mumbling...(u know the one who keeps waking us up at 1-2 am)

That's why I already wake Normah... I got the reminder that aurora showing up last night on my phone...

she mumbling2

me and aza just smiling to each other because we were already telling each other to wake up at 3am.....but you know... the combination of the heat, blanket and after eating the delicious food, you tend to terbabas in sleep...

nevermind girls maybe tonight we got to see the aurora...

I said confidently

so here I share the web that we use to see the information,

https://en.vedur.is/weather/forecasts/aurora/

but then later we use these apps which more accurate where it will notify you the time to see it based on your location...how cool is that...

After 2- days using it, then only I understand that Aurora actually passes by and cover the whole island of Iceland, so we need to find an area with clear skies, no snowy turun, no rain(of course rain is with the cloud) hahaha...

It will show which area is cloudy and which area has clear skies .and it will tell you the possible rate to see it from no 0 to 9...the the more significant number indicating the possibility to see aurora also more prominent. So they said the key is a clear sky and dark...but first, make sure your travel time is within the month that aurora happen.

But afraid not if you won't be able to see the aurora, Iceland is still a beautiful place to go to despite its first name Ice. It is a beauuuuuutiful place behind the name.

I must admit that, although it is freezing during winter where my friends and I experience the weather down to -14C ..subzero as they said.

Iceland has beautiful scenery during this time (sometimes I feel whether I am dreaming or am I looking at the desktop picture?)I found it worthy plus we able to tick all of our bucket lists...yeayyyyyyy...

ok, I will share the picture..stay calm..stay calm...seriously berbaloi tengok aurora borealis aka northern light...

How do we found it.. of course, you wouldn't know what sign that you will see..but definitely keep looking on the sky when the sky is apparent especially in less light or dark area.

Aurora Borealis

The first aurora that we saw is only  5 minutes from our BnB in Hella. We saw its first appearance as a grey line...

you

our

It Starts dancing its colour in front of us...quickly park our rented car...and enjoy the scenery...and did I tell you guys its -14C...

We waited until the aurora cover all above our sky...... crayyzee man.... but it worthy...

do you need to book a tour to see aurora borealis aka northern light?

Definitely up to you especially if you have the budget or more to spare. There is a lot of tour group available to see the aurora ....we just decided to find it by ourselves and only to the information from the apps, and the web for information .....nak save budget kan...

what do you need to take northern light aka aurora borealis pictures

Smart phone-iPhone, Huawei(Samsung-x sempat nk pakai cause we are so excited to see the dancing aurora)sorry Samsung...

DSLR-me using Lumix (i just love because besides using the manual mode Lumix also have a ready-made setting to take pictures of Aurora even though it did not state that) I just try..and besides able to take the Aurora borealis picture I was able to take the stargazing picture too.

flexible camera tripod octopus...or tripod but I just bring the octopus

and of course we, not a pro...

how to video aurora borealis

Sorry, I wasn't able to explore that first. Maybe you need to ask the expert.

we do see the green and the colourful aurora too..and it showing its intense colour.

Do we need to go far?

Up to you.....we are lucky to experience it just a few minutes from our bnb .... definitely just use that app...

SERIOUSLY THIS APPS HELPS A LOT TO FIND AURORA!!!...

and it will keep notify you when is the best time to search for aurora...what you need to do is keep looking on the clear sky except for the driver...hahaha..but must make sure no cloud..clear..dark...but in our case..we still saw it even near to the city centre itself...

And it is winter in February. It is -14C  at night to be exact

It started like this..and slowly dancing all over. 

                            

                            

                            

                            

See my girls and me trying to get the picture with aurora...using whatever we got...car light on..running forth and back inside the car as it is so freezing ...-13c 

                           

                           

                           

                           

                           

                           

                           

                           

Try my luck to capture this...nasib baik jadi...gigih mak....can't feel my fingers clicking the camera..all I know is just trying my best to click any button..... I can hear my voice, but I can't feel my mouth moving....numb.....but when we see aurora borealis northern light and stargazing together...

We feel satisfied...at least we think it that way while remembering the journey that we had experienced...

So nak pergi Switzerland tak...but for now... I am thankful did this trip to Iceland...

Travelling with the kids in the U.K part 1 (bukan trip orang bujang :))

On the last week of spring-summer holiday, we took the chances to plan a quick hop in hop off holiday all the way to Edinburgh -the capital city of Scotland.

You know when you have kids you have to have some kind of plan- to make them interested in joining u on the trip.:).And of course, they have no other choice kut!

Since we have no car here, we opted to rent a car to travel all around. With the stroller, bags, and all the essential stuff it is good to rent a car to explore all around.

 {You can bring along with the whole house if you can...… but limit your clothes as you can shop anywhere here with reasonable price.. :)).

If I'm not mistaken, we can use our country driving license to drive here. Unless you are residing in the U.K for more than a year.It is advisable to take its international license. We already have a letter from JPJ in Malaysia for license purposes just in case. But some Malaysian here said it is not necessary to have it if you are not residing more than a year in this country. But you can check it with JPJ after all.

We rented a car for this trip because it is more economical and easy to mingle around with a group of families. It is cheaper if you are going with a crowd and considering four of us, of course, it is worth it if you compare using the bus or train or even flight. Plus it’s an excellent adventure and valuable experience driving all the way around though. Plus when the kids or we need a break for long hours of travelling, and so on so forth. So it is better for you to decide what type of transportation that you are going to use for travelling in the U.K. If you like to choose the flight or train the earlier, your book, the cheaper you get. But that is rarely happening where the plan to go for a trip sometimes might be changed if you have a bunch of people to travel around with.hehe...

From our experience, British people seem to be quiet people while they are in public transport compare to us in Malaysia, But in my opinion Japanese more 'quitenessstest' than them I think. You can hear a pin drop although the train is full of people! Seriously man...

Ok, now the Things to do before travelling by car/van, Bear in mind...,

• Book early- the earlier you book, the cheaper you get.
• Plan ahead, Need to know when are you going to travel. This basically if you care about the budget! But if the program doesn't work at least, you know where you are heading.
• Consider taking the advice on insurance if you are driving all around the city in the U.K or even in Europe. They have choices from the lowest guarantee until the highest price of insurance.
• Consider what season you are planning to have the trip. The best time to travel is during summer, spring, where daytime is more prolonged, while in the winter the day time will be shorter and basically at 4 pm already maghrib and night time and all the shops, will be closing at 5 pm except a few types of shops.
• Best to drive is during day time. If you can avoid night time driving.
• Ensure you have your GPS all time while driving if you are not familiar with the place and direction board.

others tips for travelling with children you can read this website 50 top tips for travelling with kids

Below is the recommended website of the rental car companies.

1.BudgetUK

2.Enterprise

http://www.enterprise.com/ 

If you can plan earlier for your accommodation, it is much better. There are plenty of ways you can find one either you want to stay with your friend (if you have any available one), hotels or homestay/bnb. In our case, we book the accommodation while we are on the trip. (Because we think we can stop where we feel it is suitable to hang on to have a rest with the kids.) and sometimes things happen not according to the initial plan..:) o yea and this Bukan trip orang bujang …hehehe

No..not to mention parents with kids don't do their research before they travel. But we have to anticipate things might not follow or slip a bit from the original plan. Lessen your stress and feel the adventure yourself.

Before we did that we have already browsing around) this you can Ask Mr Google J

To name every single web that provided the the accommodation is quite extensive so I just listed out a few that we use to browse.

• http://airbnb.com
• http://wimdu.com
• http://homeaway.co.uk
• http://agoda.com

There is some local homestay that you can choose but as far as our experience some hosts hardly to accept a family with children.If you found one and cheap.Lucky you!! And if the host provided you to use the kitchen, it’s a bonus, and you can cook your family meal. Jimat sikit?There are also some Malaysian that do this homestay service.

For this trip we choose Travelodge. Go and check their webpage https://www.travelodge.co.uk/. Now they have to invest a new look in their rooms. I can rate it 10 Twinkling star for the accommodation. Especially with the group of family. It is so travelodgical!! But you have to make some study on the car park because some of the Travelodge do charge their parking at a specific rate an hour and some are free of charge!

Besides Travelodge, we do choose Ibis In Birmingham. It is quite a reasonable price. It's a bit small, but enough space to sleep. But it is acceptable if you are already tired and all you want to do is sleep.:) ZZZZZzzzzz...

Among city that we choose to stop from Wales

• Birmingham
• Liverpool
• Manchester
• Edinburgh
• Newcastle

Oh, ye...Jangan risau tempt solat..each city basically ada surau/masjid...we even pray beside the highway pun...and if you are on the road during summer lagi senang as the time is longer for prayer.

Propose days you can stay probably one or two days in each city. The most nights we spent overnight is in Liverpool and Edinburgh. And the most exciting places in those cities is Edinburgh. Basically, each city is famous for its heritage building, castle, church, beaches, museum and beautiful scenery. Starting from the magnificent scenery of the driving journey and the town itself it is so worth all the driving trip. The view is same plus more breath-taking As in the desktop of your computer. You know the picture of the green field with the flower. Beautiful indeed!

Other advice that we can give is if you can avoid driving at night, please do that. Sometimes the highway or the road is closed for maintenance, and you need to find another diversion road in the middle of the night. I bet you don't want to end up in somebody farm or bump into some kind of animal or maybe people!!....( because we have experienced that and luckily nothing wrong happened)Alhamdulillah...I nearly type that we bumped into a ghost, lol... we can't imagine what type of English ghost... haha.

so people try to plan your journey ..avoid night driving.

you can search top ten places to go through trip advisor and any other webpage for each city you wanted to go to.

so here I share some of the pictures from the trip ..if you have any question just leave the comment I'll try to answer in my own capability to help you... :)

for those who worried about food, I mean halal food.

p/s: there is no need to worried if you are in this country. They are easily found in merely every side of the city.

Our UK visa approved

Last week we received our Visa to the UK. Alhamdulillah. This is the first step for us to go to Wales, United Kingdom. It took approximately 2 weeks to get your Visa Approved. My husband and I will be bringing our 2  precious daughters there. Just want to share what we have to do to apply for a visa since my husband only obtained the funding for his study from MARA. So for the rest of us has to attach some documentation to make it a smooth process.

The documents that they would like to have after we have applied it through online and have selected the date appointment.

1. Tuberculosis test-Since our country is on the list of the country that needs to do the tests we need to do the test then. There are 2 test centre in West Malaysia at this moment which is at;

Janice Lim - Health Screening Centre
Gleneagles Hospital (Kuala Lumpur)
282 and 286 Jalan Ampang,
50450 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Tel: 603-4141 3282, fax: 603-4141 3280, 
Email: janicelim@gleneagleskl.com.my

Website: www.gleneagleskl.com.my

Dr Ong Kee Liang - Life Care Diagnostic Medical Centre,
1st Floor, Wisma Life Care,
No. 5, Jalan Kerinchi,
Bangsar South, 59200
Kuala Lumpur
Tel: 1300 222 369 or 
Email: info@lifecare.com.my

Or you can here at this webpage.https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/tuberculosis-test-for-a-uk-visa-clinics-in-malaysia/tuberculosis-testing-in-malaysia#approved-test-clinics

This time we need to bring the children to do some basic checkup. It just a session with Dr to ask some history of the children health. Bare in mind they also charge children per person around RM 175. For an adult the cost around RM 210 per person. We do the test in at Wisma Life Care as it also opens on Saturday. An advice to you, please do it before the peak season time where all the undergraduate and also postgraduate will be going to do the process, especially in August till September. You need to bring your passport picture, your passport/IC and even money for the test.:}

2. Applicant Passport Picture-Please see the guideline for UK passport picture size guideline

.

3. Marriage certificate-You can do this at Institut Terjemahan & Buku Malaysia (ITBM) or any court that have a translator. I do ask at Duta court, and the process will take only 1 hour while in Institute Terjemahan & Buku Malaysia will take around 3 working days. You can request Institut Terjemahan & Buku Malaysia (ITBM) personnel to courier to you the translated certified true copy documents right to your front door. How easy is that?

4. Birth certificate-Translate your birth certificate if your certificate is in other than the English language.I do it at the same place as a marriage certificate.But as for new/current birth certificate has already had a dual language we just used the original document for the application.

5. Bank statement-If you have some fund/saving you need to get the letter/passbook to be certified or issued by the said bank. As for us, we use ASB and Bank Passbook. There is a calculation to dictate how much money do we need to have if we go there and bring together your dependent. Huh...and yet the money needs to be in the Bank within 28 days. This document is for your dependent application.

6-Financial Statement/Letter from Funder-This letter need to be submitted if you apply under /sponsored student application. Sometimes if you are lucky by using this statement, your application can be approved by just utilising this letter without any Bank Statement. But I advise you to provide the bank statement if you bring more than 1 children.

6. Consent Letter- For example, if the main applicant will support the other dependent, he needs to provide a simple letter stated that he will support the name of the applicant and sign the letter.

7.CAS letter- If you go for study in the UK, they will provide you with the CAS letter. So this document needs to be submitted at the Visa application centre.

7. Passport-Bring all the mentioned passport from the first one until current passport. This is provided if you have to clarify all the passport that you have in hand.

Actually, you can apply online first while also preparing all the document in hand. The webpage https://www.visa4uk.fco.gov.uk/.

Now I can focus on other things such as to list all the items need to be brought there. Fuhhh...it going to be fun!!...or otherwise. Any advice from your friend?

Travel to japan (Osaka-Kyoto-Tokyo) with kids and family part 2.Some tips and experiences.

Still continued from the previous entry on travelling to Japan with kids and family. Since we have divided the task to arrange on the itinerary on each place. So my husband and I took the responsibility to plan on the next town which is Tokyo. We have decided to make an agent while we were in Tokyo, this is just because we are planning to go to a lot of places while we were there and by bringing the kids together we need a van or minibus to ensure the journey is smooth from one place to another plus to save more time. 

After some searching for a possible agent that we can use, and some comparison of price.we agreed to used Miyako International. You can check it out through this link  Tourist agent Halal in Japan . The person that I contacted is Mar, and she is a Malaysian that has been living in Japan for a couple of years there. So she helps me to work the plan and everything within our budget. The important thing is while bringing kids to travel is eating time. So we just leave it to the agent to handle it. We don't deny that it is quite several halal restaurants have existed there, but the thing is to go and search with a bunch of groups we think it much easier to leave it to them. But if you still want to search by yourselves, our advice is there is some group end up calling the agent over there and asking for the direction to go to the restaurant and wasted time in searching place to eat. After all, it is up to you to decide. If you are familiar in the areas in Japan, it should be no problem in searching for Halal food.

`Here is The website of the tour agent in Japan. You can check it out as they always have an attractive package to offer or else you can customise your plan as we did.

We went to Tokyo from Osaka by Shinkansen - High-Speed inter-city passenger train in Japan or we called it bullet train. You can buy the ticket online or walk in. For the kids basically no charge for them. We just follow Maria's advised on what time to buy the ticket and her agent will wait for us at the station.

By the way, I shared some of the places that we have agreed to go based on the time that we have.

 Tips for packing your luggage bag

1. If you are bringing a lot of clothes, I suggest you get a vacuum bag. I have bought that through my deal.com. I guess you also can get it at luggage department, daiso or any store related. You won't believe that small luggage can accommodate a family of two small children. Try it yourself.

Here are some photos to enjoy.

This plastic cover for the baby stroller is a big helper for me.It is beneficial since it is windy and so cold. The best thing is when my children sleep comfortably while walking here and there.

The most essential thing while travelling with kids is the accessories for them while holidaying during winter. This to avoid them from caught a cold.

Since I also have a friend who studies her PhD there, she had suggested me to pay a visit to Hokkaido next if we are planning to go to Japan again. From my personal perspective, I love the country for their cleanliness, their culture, the exciting places and of course you can do your shopping thing. Do plan one for yours.:}
