Immigresen Kelana Jaya ~ Line Khas untuk Passport Bayi

1st entry for our travel log..would like to start with the Immigration Process aka buat passport untuk anak2ku..FYI, we just came back from Krabi last Saturday..travelling with 1 toddler & 1 infant..later nanti akan ku huraikan travel log kami sepanjang kami di sana..

Before depart, kite settlekan dulu perihal passport anak2..especially Emir yang baru nk buat passport..Process tetap sama macam entry yang dulu2..Klik Sini..cuma requirement baru 2014, mesti gamba background putih macam di Sini..tapi klu x silap..x boleh lagi bawa gambar sendiri, perlu tangkap gambar di Pejabat Imigresen directly (mohon check directly dengan pihak Imigresen yer!)

Kami buat Passport di Imigresen Kelana Jaya, Plaza Glomac..actually ni bukan 1st attempt..before tu dah try pegi PKNS, Shah Alam hari Ahad (Imigeresen tertentu beroperasi juga pada hari Sabtu & Ahad..boleh check waktu perkhidmatan dengan official website Imigeresen)..sampai sana dalam pukul 8.30 pagi (bangun awal, kluarnye lambat jugak..almaklumlaa dengan anak2 kecik..itu ini, menangis teriak sana sini pasti ler schedule perjalanan akan delay..huhu)...Sampai2 kaunter ambil2 no..turn ada lagi 100++ orang lagi..mak aii!! Bertabah jugak kekonon nak tunggu, g breakfast bagai, tengok2 x sampai2 jugak turn..lepas ada akak sorang ni yang tunggu dari pukul 8.00 pagi (dah tunggu 2 jam) still x smp turn lagi, weollss surrender..angkat bendera putih..mari cuba di lain kali..hhuhu

Model gebus kami

2nd attempt, kitorng kebetulan dapat info yang kat KJ klu bawak infant / kids / orang tua / OKU ada line special yang lebih kontot gilirannye..so, bersemangat wajalaahh kami ke sana..

Alhamdulillah, info yang kami dapat betul..Lebih kurang 6 orang in a que..tapi tempat tu memanglaa ramainye manusia...serabuts pn adee...naseb baek bawak budak, dapat cepat sikit...tapi PLS TAKE NOTE yer...katanye dekat semua kaunter Imigresen pon memang sepatutnye ada facilities sebegini..tapi kite kene tanye dekat adik / abang manis yang jaga kaunter tu tentang facilities tersebut.."Saya bawak budak2 / anak kecik, ada fast lane kan?" huhuhu...just in case diorng x perasan application kite tu untuk baby2 walaupon dh dikelek di tepi pinggang,,eheheh...

~ No giliran kitorang..x percaya?? Percayalaaa..hhihi ~

~ Makcik & anak2 makcik terpaksa tunggu kt luar..dalam sesak ngan manusia..huhu ~

1 lagi yang kite nk tepuk tangan for Imigresen KJ...mereka ada menyediakan Bilik Menyusu khas untuk BF baby! Friendly breastfeeding..I liookeeee!.. Walaupon kemudahan yang asas tapi cukuplaa untuk bagi kite privacy untuk menyusukan anak...Pitam klu nak kene BF baby in public kt Imigresen ni..nak cari tempat duduk pon payah..inikan pula nk mengambil ruang yang selesa untuk BF..uuhu..Tapi sy salute juge dengan rakyat Malaysia..ramai yang prihatin..tengok makcik yg agak2 vogue ni dukung baby, Alhamdulillah, ramai yang offer tempat duduk mereka..x kira kaum...Thumbss Up!!

~ Bilik Menyusu aka Baby's room yang berada di corner itu yer.(Tgk muka orang ramai yang kebosanan menunggu.huhu) ~

~ Kemudahan dalam bilik tersebut..bolehlaa..Alhamdulillah! ~

Lebih kurang 2 jam, selesai urusan pendaftaran passport..Emir totally baru, Chempaka tukar gambar, since passport dia buat 3 thn lepas dengan gamba yang sangat baby..eheheh...(Imigresen required passport kanak2 di tukar gambar as stated dalam web Imigeresen kt Sini, 

Perkara 10. Maklumat Am (d) :- 

Tiada lagi kemudahan memasukkan butir-butir kanak-kanak dalam pasport ibu atau bapa. Kanak-kanak (termasuk bayi yang baru dilahirkan) perlu memohon secara berasingan dan ibu bapa boleh memohon untuk menukar gambar setelah bayi meningkat usia 2 tahun ke atas disertai dengan 2 keping gambar bersaiz 35mm x 50mm berlatar belakang putih tanpa bayang., Sijil Lahir dan hadir bersama-sama anak berkenaan di Pejabat Imigresen.

Untuk collection, kami ambil di hari lain kerana kebetulan masa tu, urusan tukar gambar passport kanak2 x boleh dapat pada hari yang sama sebab kene endorsed ape ntah..tapi klu ari2 biasa sepatutnye siap on the dot jer..

Ad-Hoc Plan @ Gold Coast Morib Water Theme Park Resort

Recap balik last year nyee aktiviti coti2 Msia..we've stayed at GOLD COAST MORIB WATER THEME PARK RESORT on 23rd - 24th May 2013. Ingat2 balik ni memang plan yang sangat spontaneous by us..On d way back from office while my hubby's driving d car..sembang2 kosong pikir mana nak bawak anak2 jalan2 since that week cuti agak panjang, Friday till Sunday..so me sebut laaa Petting Zoo laa, Genting laa, Zoo Negara laa n soo on..then my hubby cakap rather tempat2 camtu whynot g tdo hotel je...then trus terpikir Gold Coast, call hotel terus book..masa tu dekat pukul 7.00p.m dah tu..balik2 capai2 baju dengan pantas & tungtas..packing trus gerak..

Kitorang sampai Hotel lebih kurang dekat pukul 10.30p.m..ikot jalan from Putrajaya-KLIA menghala Morib..dalam 1 jam perjalanan..Seingat aku, we all bayar dalam RM350 / night / per room...Rates termasuk breakfast for 2 pax + 2 entry tickets to Theme Park (unlimited time)..Chempaka still x kene charge, so FOC...! ehehe..

Our room dapat facing Theme Park, as per our request..view menawan...Chempaka sampai2 jer memang teruja tengok theme park kat bawah, nak mandi katanya tengah2 malam tu..huhu..(saspen mak!) Bilik boleh dikatakan luas...2 katil super single then kitorg combine kan so agak selesa untuk kami 4 beranak ini..hehhe..Dalam bilik air ada jacuzzi tau! jgn maraaaa...agak kagum juga di situ..Yang lain dun expect too much..furniture nye agak lama sket (sebenarnye lebih kepada kurang maintain) and TV pon bukan laa yang flat screen ala2 hotel 5 bintang..But for me the room condition tu boleh laa diterima cuma banyak lagi upgrading work boleh dilakukan oleh pihak pengurusan hotel.

~ Facing Theme Park...Anak dara dh x saba nk terejun..~

~ View from room...nampak x anak beranak iteww? ~

~ Private Jacuzzi in a room..lomantikklooo~

~ Tido nyenyak...(Aikk..keciknyee Meme!..huhu) ~

Next day before bawak anak2 terjun tiruk kat theme park, wajib breakfast dulu..tapi MasyaAllahhh..ramainye orang...space agak sempit n orangnye pulak ramai..tapi mungkin faktor time kami turun for bfast tu adalah peak time..so kenelaa berAmazing Race ngan rakyat jelata yang lain..huhuhu...

The Theme Park for us was great..scale x berapa besar tapi tak juga kecik..me memang agak x prefer scale yang besar mcm Sunway Lagoon tu sebab budak still kecik, jadi x perlu pool2 yang Extravaganza sangat..Kat sini pool ada laa dalam 4-5 part (if I'm not mistaken...patut amek pic every inch of the theme park!huhu)..ada slides yang nampak agak menyeronokkan..ada macam river..So, for me NOT BAD AT ALL! For family vacay with kids / teenagers, with medium range of budget, this place could be good options...sayang kami x dapat explore habis2an this area, x pergi beach and hunting2 kedai2 makan kt kawasan sekitar...lepas mandi2 theme park, check-out, laju2 jer balik..lagipun Emir masa ni baru 4 bulan..x berani lagi lasak2 ngan dia..hihi

Playtime @ Rekazone, IOI Mall Puchong

Pernah x uolls bawak anak2 main kat REKAZONE @ IOI Mall Puchong?? Kitorng pernah pegi last time, macam best jugaklaa especially for kids yang besar2 Chempaka..masa kitorng pegi tu Emir still baby2 lagi..rasa dlm 3-4 months..sebab nak spent masa lama sket and lepak2, sebab tu kami pilih lepak @ Rekazone...Chempaka boleh main puas2 plus kitorang n baby just lepak2 n chillex kat sana..

Fees : RM20.00 / kids..(unlimited hours)

Mesti bawak stokin sendiri yerr...termasuk parent pon mesti pakai stokin..

For us, this kind of place agak berbaloi kalau uolls boleh lepak lama2 kt sini, bagi anak2 main lama2..at least 2 jam...klu setakat 15-30 minit, for RM20.00 macam x berfaedah je..hihi..banyak jugak equipment kat sini..nak cerite pon agak susah diterangkan..layan jer laa pic2 yang sempat di snap oleh kami..

Overall kitorng puas hati jugaklaa as Chempaka memang seems having a great time! Emir yang still need his beauty sleep (at that time) pon macam relax sket sebab surrounding agak senyapss sepi..hehe.. Plus orang x ramai unlike banyak indoor playground yang lain..budak2 besar yang berlarian dengan ganas and selamberr langgar anak kite sampai terjatuh..pastu wat muka x bersalah..huhuhu (seriiauuu mak!)...equipment pon still dalam keadaan yang sangat baik..okeeeylah!

~ Ada pondok2 comel..tapi ni 2 storey hokey.. ~

~ Ni area paling best kot.,.main tembak2 bola..parent pon boleh join skali ~

 

 

 

~ Ball's Pool..ni mmg all time feveret dia ~

 

~ Vrroommmm ~

~ Hubby Chillex! Boleh nampak spacenye agak luas ~

~ Megablocks ~

 

~ Nyenyak tidoo abammm? ;p ~

Cuba . Try . Test . Brightstarts Bounce Bounce Activity Center

~ Brightstarts Bounce Bounce Activity Center..Official photos from brightstarts website ~

  Few weeks back we went to Toy's R Us @ Ikano and kind of attract to this "BOUNCE BOUNCE ACTIVITY CENTER by BRIGHTSTARTS...and it's AWARD WINNING activity center! (x caye cer tanya Makcik Google k) So saja2 cuba jaya letak Emir kat dalam..just seronok2 sebab nampak best...

~ The key features..(sorry for the kelammss pic) ~

Size : 28" (W) x 6.5"(D) x 23.5"(H)

On the size wise, to me OK..sebab dia x besar sangat and x jugak kecik sangat, for size macam Emir (approx. 8-9kg baby), nampak it fit nicely...xde laaa nampak dia terloboshhh di dalam itu..rasa smaller baby pon should be fine sebab nampak diameter of the seat x besar sgt and the height pon x tinggi sangat..

~ Fits Emir nicely..seronokk yerr nak! ~

 Mobility

Seat boleh pusing 360deg..so babies boleh pusing keliling the activity center for them to reach all the toys around the activity center..cuma pergerakan terhad di situ, sesuai ler bagi parents yg intent to put the baby inside and engage them with the toys around the activity center..macam rasa secured pon ada sebab baby x bergerak and static location at where we put them. 

~ Ralit nampak yer Abamm Kecik ~

Excercise

Babies could jump2 on the activity center as there is kind of bungee platform for the babies to bouncee..cute..! The platform could be adjusted to 3 height level so that this bouncing gym could grow with the babies....Babies boleh exercise and kuatkan kaki by bounce2 on this activity center...macaam cumil kann,.,huhu...

Toys & Color

Warna2 ceria yang sangat menareks! Green, Yellow, Blue & Orange..nice combination & attractive..Through our  observation, 5 toys are around the activity center..Babies will need to move around in order to reach each toys. Most of toys are rattle type..Emir nampak excited..tp still tetap nak masukkan ke dalam mulut..huhuhu..But for me, 5 toys rattle type still macam nampak this activity center agak kosong...think should be more toys (maybe saya tamak haloba!! hihihihi), yang lebih canggih (ada bunyi2, lampu2 yang berwarna warni and educative sket) rather than a rattle..sebab takut the babies akan cepat rasa bosan,,huhu..

~ Brightful color makes me want tu Yumssss..huhu ~

Price : RM399.90...

~ Price Tag ~

 Age : 4 months & up

Capacity : Up to 11kg Babies

Rasanya klu parents plan to purchase this, better beli awal2..since baby 4 months, baru berbaloi-baloi sebab agak lama boleh pakai, maximized the usage (kan saya sudah bilang saya tamak haloba!!ehehe) ..like our case, as Emir pun dh hampir mencapai 9kg, agak rugi coz it could just hold till 11kg..

Weaning from Pacifier / Cerai Puting ~ In Memories

~ Pic pembuka bicara (chewah!)..in her early days ~

Officially Chempaka weaned from her Pacifier @ 2 1/2 yo (exact date x berape nk hengat)..At first mmg risau macam mana kalau we failed wean her-off from the pacifier,,time tu terbayang my lil Chempaka, rambut curly2 ikat 2..pakai uniform tadika yg cute..tp pakai pacifier!! Zuuppppp....jatuhhh sahammm...huhu..

So, then we decided that we MUST try to wean her-off...Masa tu, as we remember, dia still stay at nursery..so normally dia dengan pacifier tu after we fetched her from the nursery..naik kereta jer, for sure dia mintak ktorng her pacifier..bukan x pernah cakap "x bawak or xde or xtau letak mana" tapi for sure dia tau kat mana ktong simpan pacifier dia..biasanya dalam poket misteri dlm nursery bag dia..huhuhu..cuma dia bukan jenis yang 24/7 pacifier lekat kt mulut..ada cuma sekejap2..tp sure nk ada di pandangan matanyerr..eheh..so we thought dis might be easier...

~ Masa baby2 ni cumil jer mulut sumbat dengan pacifier..if skrg??? Could not imagine..eheh ~

Buat malam permulaan, me & hubs try to put some salt on the pacifier..Why Salt??!! hahahahah...funny eh..sbb ramai advice esp the org2 tua letak bende2 pahit or rasa pelik..as sireh, gambir or etc..manaaalaa rumah Makcik Minah adoo semua tu..so fastest solution untuk menimbulkan rasa kurang sedap adalah garam..hahah...then at night bila nk tidur, as usual she source for her pacifier,,weolss ngn saspens waiting for her reaction when she put the pacifier inside her mouth..dengan harapan dia cakap "Tak Cedap" and buang terus the pacifier..TAPIIIII...harapan tinggal harapan..dengan muka selamber jer dia Ngappp and seperti tiada apa2 berlaku..Danggggg..FAILEDD...!!

Then few nights after that, ktorng saja2 test slow talk dengan dia..just cakap.."Eiiii..utinggg usyuuklaaa (puting busukklaa)..xmo hisap k" then dia plak macam menyetujui jer during that time..so cepat2 weolss sorok..so pengembaraan tanpa pacifier start for the 1st night..Jeng jeng jeng..ada jugak dia hint2 mintak but then we just consistently ckp bende yang sama "Uting Ucuk"..1st night rengek2 about 15-30 mins kot..pastu berjaya tido..

~ Masa tidur yg indah..throwback namanye ~

The next day & following night bende yang sama..bila dia hint2 nk pacifier, ulang lagi bende yang sama..cuma duration untuk rengekan akan berkurangan dari hari2 sebelumnye..cukup 3 hari dia dah tau dah..dh x cari sangat dah,,,BERJAYA!!..yeay!..Kesimpulannya :-

1) Kene Konsistent

2) Cekal hati..jangan mudah kalah dengan rengekan anak

3) Buang rasa kesian tgk anak

4) JANGAN GIVE-UP (paling penting)

5) Kreatif..(hihi..kene try & error beberapa method..tapi Mak ni x pongg..)

6) Rasanya kene start awal..lagi lama kita tunggu untuk weaning lg susah (ni ikot advice doctor lerr)

~ Dah besar sket ni..probably 6-7 months ~

Tp afterall, my point of view is Allah has made it easy for us..Alhamdulillah..sebabnye nasib baik dia x merengek2 yang extreme, gulung2 atas lantai + meraung..klu ini terjadi, rasanya 99% weolss angkat tangan..huhuhu

~ Dalam kenangan..pacifier pun smp Aussie tau..~

Notes : Writing this post and look back on the older pictures, makes me realize how times flies sooo fast!! Chempaka is big gurl and a kakakss to Emir now..a bit bossy, cheeky & caring kakak if I could describe her..kind miss her baby time though..

~ Our 2 lil angel..luv u much! ~

As Emir, learn from our mistake & sebab dah ada experience, manage tak pakai pacifier untuk dia!! Yeayy!! Cabaran tetap ada, as masa dia umur 2-3 months, time dia banyak menyusu and kind of macam asek nk ngempeng..the attempt of giving him the pacifier also have cross our mind but cecepat REJECT the idea and bertahan!! Just nurse him whenever he wants! Alhamdulillah, dia pon nampak pandai to sooth himself by hisap jari..mujur habit hisap jari pon x lekat..coz everytime dia masukkan jari dalam mulut, if we are around, we just tarik jari dia keluar..xmo bg dia carried away by the habit...

Berbbwearing for Petronas Charity Fun Walk @ Taman Wetlands Putrajays

Last Saturday we've joined a 1.5km Charity Fun Walk which was held at Taman Wetlands, Putrajaya organized by my Hubby's company division. As Mr. Hubby is part of the organizing team, we reached at Taman Wetlands quit early, 7.00 a.m (in fact, peserta no.1 sampai.. :D)..It's our 1st experience involve in this kind of activity..ber2 with my hubs pon x penah, inikan pulak with all the kids..before this ada jugak our friends invite us to join like Terry Fox Run laa..ape run / walking event...mmg x termasuk dalam carta..hihi..skali ni my hubs kene jd part of the organizing team, kami pon join lee..as a support..lagipun since x pernah jejak kt Wetlands tu sooo we think why not..

~ Taman Wetlands Entrance ~

~ Assembly Point ~

Masuk2 dalam Wetlands, rasa sangat nyamann...1) sebab masih pagi..2)Of course, sbb dikelilingi pokok2 yang hijau..!! We passed by the menara tinjau (macam cantik je..macam menarik je)..and straight away to our event assembly point for registration..rugi plak rasa x snap gamba menara tinjau tu, if not could share with u guys...

~ My Husband registering us ~

Fee for this Charity Fun Walk is RM20.00 / head and it will be donated to the Persatuan Sokongan Ibu Dan Anak Kurang Upaya Azwar (PSIAKU AZWAR)..(if I'm not mistaken, based on the bunting at the Registration Counter)..and we received a really nice goodies / tote bag which contain an apple, sandwich, mineral bottle & handkerchief.

As for Chempaka, she's really enjoying herself..sbb it's not just a Walk..Walk..Walk...then bye2..there's also a balloon clown, people in costume (since it's theme is "Fun", maybe..tp the costume really cheer-up the event!), coloring station, etc. Funny thing is, when she saw this lady wearing a SuperMak costume, dia pon sama nk mintak sayap tebang kt belakang baju dia..huhuhu..

~ SuperGurl for her version ~

 

~ Balloon's Clown which she afraid of..sungguh x macho ~

~ Superheroes in action! ~

FYI, this is my 1st time bbwearing Emir for such event..wearing SOHO Boba 3G..Emir seems sooo comfy in it..

~ In SOHO Boba..muke yg sangat kelatss sbb kene bgn pagi..~

~ Muke happy lepas mamam biskut 2 keping ~

We start Flag-Of at 9.00 a.m and there we goes for 1.5km walk..Actually there is 2 options..u may choose 3km walk or 1.5km..but OF COURSE..kami pilih jalan yang pendek...x dapat bayangkan if we take a longer path..sure ktorng yg pengsan..anak2 steady je (sbb kene dokong)..huhu...But I could say that wearing my Boba its just really convenient..and xde rs berat sgt pon..(chewwah)..Emir tahap comfy dia adalah sepanjang 1.5km + another 15min before flag off for the warming up session, dia dh ZzzzZZzzzZzzzz...huhuuhu..

~ Lets walk n enjoy the green environment..soo refreshing! ~

~ Go Chempaka Go ! ~

By the end of the walk we pass through the FLAMINGO POND..Chempaka sangat happy to see all those flamingo..interesting..

~ Posing secara senget @ Flamingo Pond ~

~ All of us..(gambar agak gelap)..tp tgk Emir tido dgn jayanya! ~

~ To Look-Out Tower ~

After reaching finishing line we just hang around for a while for coloring before we heading back home..Wetlands tempat agak menarik untuk beriadah, we saw some other people were cycling, but we do not explore further what else interesting point here..maybe next time..After all, we just want to got back home as early as we can, before bebudak mengamuk (just like timing bomb! hehe)..Luckily the weather is Superb on that day!..

~ Us @ Finishing Line..Bravo Emir & Chempaka!! Gud job! ~

~ Color mencolor before balik..yang ni good job Mr husband..pandai kaler.. ;p ~
