My first week in Malaysia

Kejap jer rasa cuti kali ni. Dah pon masuk one week since I arrived in Malaysia. Tu yang menyampah tu, kalau dekat Malaysia jer mesti cepat jer masa berlalu. Tapi kalau time kerja tu masa berlalu macam siput sedut. So entry kali ni I nak summarized all activities I've been doing for the past 1 week..

::21st August 2010::
Departed from Lagos to Dubai. Flight from Lagos quite full but lucky enough I'd got aisle seat. Tak suka sangat duduk kat window seat accept if I dapat front row. Nanti susah nak pergi toilet because kena kejut passenger sebelah-menyebelah. Kalau yang dapat yang jenis tidur tak sedar diri tu memang jenuh akak nak kejut. Lagi² long hour flight.

::22nd August 2010::
Landed in Dubai around 1.50 AM. Ntah kenapa pulak hari tu dapat keluar lambat from plane. Tunggu dekat 1/2 hour. Passengers lain dah bising². Tu belum kira budak² kecik yang menjerit sakan dalam plane tu. Yelar after long journey for sure those kids dah rimas duduk dalam plane tu. I yang dah besar ni pon rimas. I checked my flight to KL was around 2.40 AM. I dah start panic dah masa tu. Nak tanyer stewardess, jauh pulak si stewardess from my seat. So I decided to wait until I came out from the plane. Masa dapat keluar tu I checked my watch showed 2.20 AM. Duhh memang dah lambat. Boarding time 2.30 AM. Dah la gate kemain jauh lagi. Lucky me, as soon as I came out from the plane, ada airport staff held the sign board written "KUALA LUMPUR", I went close to him. He asked for my ticket and handed me the new one. Suka² jer mamat ni nak tukar flight ticket aku, dah la I dah lambat. Rupa² nya flight to KL has been delayed to 3.15 AM. Fuhhhh, nasib baik sempat but still I had to rush to the gate. I was among the last person boarded on the plane but I was relieved the plane was not that full and I'd got front seat and next to the window. After putting my bag in the overhead compartment, I duduk on my assigned seat, masa tu barulah rasa tercungap² sebab berlari² anak ke boarding gate. I tengok sebelah I takde orang duduk lagi. Memang heaven betul la siap boleh bersila lagi..Hehehe..

I tak sempat nak sahur masa dalam flight to KL sebab tidur tak ingat punya. I thought stewardess nak kejut kan for supper tapi agak nyer dia tengok I tidur sampai keluar air liur lena, dia tak sampai hati nak kejut. The time they served breakfast, was already 7 AM at location. So I hanya mampu menelan air liur basi tengok jiran sebelah makan sampai licin tray dia. Apa tak tidur mati lena nya, the whole journey from Lagos to Dubai I langsung tak tidur, I khatam kan movie² baru (for me la kan, padahal movie yang dah berminggu² keluar I jer yang tak tengok lagi)..By the time I arrived, tinggal lagi 5 hours nak berbuka, I still could handle my hunger.

I arrived dekat KLIA around 2.30 PM, waited for my luggage and finally left KLIA around 3.30 PM. My husband fetched me up and terus we all pergi kedai lampu dekat area Puchong. Haha. Mesti korang pelik kan tetiba I terus sergah kedai lampu. We all beli lampu for our new house. Sebab besoknya nak hantar rumah mintak wiring man tolong pasangkan. After that terus pergi rumah my mom nak jumpa anakanda kesayanganku. Sampai² rumah tengok Emir tengah tidur. Dah nak dekat² berbuka camtu baru dia bangun then bila dia nampak I terus dia datang towards me and asked me to hold him. I felt like crying at that time. Bila nampak Emir senyum, my heart melt away.

Pagi² dah bangun and terus ke rumah baru kami. Datang jenguk orang tengah buat finishing for plaster ceiling and kitchen cabinet. The house looks so different compared to last time when I was there. Just a bit touch up here and there totally give the house a new look. I like the kitchen cabinet. It's just like what I pictured before. In fact it is better than what I expected. Memang puas hati. Plaster ceiling pon sama. Nanti I reveal gambar rumah baru yer. Tunggu siap betul² dulu. Then pergi kedai langsir (Baguss) saje la nak survey harga custom made curtain kat situ but the price a bit expensive. So cancel tak jadi nak tempah kat situ. Discuss with my husband and we decided nak pergi tempah kat tempat lain. After that off we went to KGPA for iftar. My husband dah made reservation for both of us. Actually more to food testing for majlis berbuka puasa batch sekolah lama dia. Food was okay and quite reasonable with the price we paid.

::24th August 2010::
My initial plan was just to stay at home but terpaksa pergi kedai lampu lagi untuk beli lampu lagi. My husband decided nak survey dekat kedai lampu lain. I like the previous kedai lampu sebab lampu² kat situ murah and design pon agak moden. I tak berapa suka chandelier yang bunga² and ada crystal² tu. I prefer design yang more abstract and simple and of course can fit within my budget. Then we all pergi kedai lampu area Batu Caves which is closed to my mom's. Lepas dah beli² lampu tu, again we all pergi hantar lampu dekat rumah baru and by the time balik rumah my mom's nak fetch Emir dah pukul 4.00 PM, so alang² tu we all bukak puasa at my mom's. Singgah dekat Pasar Ramadhan Sentul. Meriah you! I jadi rambang mata. Banyak sangat makanan yang nampak sedap². Ikutkan I macam² nak beli but my husband kept on reminding me 'Larat ker sayang nak habis kan makanan ni?'. Terus jadi waras balik and beli mana yang patut jer..hahaha..

::25th August 2010::
Just relax at home. Badan terasa amat letih and decided to just stay kat rumah and rest.

::26th August 2010::
Waited my husband balik kerja around 3.00 PM then pergi rumah baru. Balik from rumah terus pergi TTDI untuk iftar kat sana with my husband's friends. Best giler dapat pergi Pasar Ramadhan TTDI. Banyak signature foods kat sana macam Nasi beriani, putu piring, murtabak raja, macam² la ada. Then iftar dekat restaurant dekat² situ jugak. Balik from iftar singgah OU nak tengok baju raya for Emir Faiz. Belum start sale for raya lagi so most of baju still normal price.

::27th, 28th & 29th August 2010::
Lepak dekat rumah and kemas rumah I yang macam tongkang pecah. I managed to start packing some of the things dalam kotak to move to the new house nanti. Activity packing² will still continue until I pindah ke rumah baru. I pack bit by bit. Lagipon bulan puasa ni agak penat jugak nak mengemas di siang hari, so I tunggu malam baru kemas betul². Nasib la barang tak berapa banyak sangat kat rumah ni.

So far my first week in Malaysia memang pack dengan activity related to our new house. Maybe tak sempat nak pergi holiday kat mana² since I pon dapat raya 10 days jer then dah kena balik Nigeria. I will try to spend quality time with my family as much as I could. For me as long as I dapat tengok my son hari² would be enough for me. There's always next time for holidays.

P/S Next week nak shopping baju raya! Nilah activity yang paling di tunggu²..;p
