Travel Tips For First Time Traveller

~Happy Saturday~

Bolehla share sikit-sikit pasal travel ni kan. Mungkin berguna juga untuk first time traveller nanti :)

1. Tentukan travel destination sekurang-kurangnya setahun sebelum kalau tempat tu jauh & saving pun agak-agak cukup x cukup ja. Jadi ada masa untuk buat saving & search flight termurah atau kalau ikut travel agent boleh dapatkan pakej paling berbaloi.

2. Tentukan partner. Kalau spouse mungkin senang sikit sebab cuma berdua tapi kalau rasa-rasa mau jadi backpackers ramai-ramai dengan geng kena pilih setelitinya, nanti di negara orang timbul pla masalah susah jg tu.

3. Pakaian. Kalau autumn/winter kena bawa sweater tebal & kalau hidung sensitif kena bawa face mask atau beli ja sana boleh juga. Kalau tidak memang ada kes berdarah hidung. (Pengalaman ni, berdarah hidung sangat x best)

4. Lagi bagus pakai walking atau sport shoes. Tapi cari yg flat shoes & ngam-ngam muat. kalau mau bergaya lebih pakai but cari yg betul-betul selesa & flat punya. Kalau tidak boleh cramp kaki tu hoho. Boleh ready selipar juga la lebih-lebih kalau tempat tu panassss.

5. Tisu & wet tisu. Sangat-sangat penting terutamanya negara yg tiada paip air macam China & western countries. Pastikan bawa cukup-cukup.

6. Sanitizer. Optional tapi better bawa sebotol kecil, just in case. Yala mana kita tau tahap kebersihan di sana mcmna kan.

7. Berapa pasang pakaian mau bawa? Tengok season, kalau autumn/winter boleh bawa sikit ja sebab boleh pakai balik, tiada peluh tu trust me. Spring season pun lebih kurang jg. Tapi kalau negara yg panas macam Asia Tenggara ni bawala lebih sikit tapi yg nipis-nipis punya jadi senang pack.

8. Kamera. Kalau rasa cukup dengan smartphone ja boleh jg tapi kalau mau yg kualiti lebih umpphh better bawa DSLR. Tapi depends la, sebab agak leceh juga bawa kamera DSLR ni sebab besar kan. Kualiti bagus, gambar pun cantik jadi lebih puas hati. Yala, manatau cuma sekali pg travel sana kan jadi no regret.

9. Travel bag. Bagi sa, kalau suda bawa luggage beroda cuma perlu bawa satu beg kecil ja untuk simpan wallet/passport/necessities. Macam sling bag atau waist bag. Tidak perlu sebiji lightweight bag kecuali memang backpackers la. But bear in mind to put ur money elesewhere. Buat satu poket rahsia dalam inner clothes pun boleh. Kalau jalan-jalan tidak best tu bawa sebiji beg bersaiz beg sekolah.

10. Passport. Sentiasa bawa, jangan lupa! Advisable untuk buat copy sebab pernah ada kes hilang atau kena conteng.

11. UV cream, lip balm & losyen. Lain-lain punya body & facial care sendiri tau. Tapi advisable untuk pack dalam bekas yg kecil untuk jimat ruang. Kecuali memang 'pemekap' tegar, x perlu la bawa set makeup tu semua.

12. Rajin-rajin baca info dari internet terutamanya review dari org yg sudah jejak kaki pg sana. Banyak tu berlambak-lambak. Contoh Trip Advisor.

13. Tips khas untuk backpacker-to-be : Join Couchsurfing (Tinggal rumah orang sana untuk jimatkan budget - ala macam dalam dokumentary selalu tu) 

14. Always alert & plan beforehand. Ready map, both electronic or manual. Always do backup. Update social media. Roaming. At least family yg ditinggalkan tau keadaan kita terutamanya bila kita tidak dapat internet connection.

15. Selesaikan kerja yg perlu disiapkan sebelum travel. Tidak juga terfikir-fikir nanti.

16. Bring extra cash or credit card for back up.

17. For packing tips, join PINTEREST for ideas. Atau SINI.


Happy travelling! :D

Short Vacay in KL

Hubby and I  went on short trip to KL on 13th - 15th March. But actually hubby was already in KL for work from 10th March so I was only followed him there on 13th. It was very short and tiring vacation but we still enjoyed the moment so much.. It was my first time arrived at Klia2, it was quite spacious but I still can find direction easily as there were enough signboards to follow.  I went directly to 1 Utama via Skybus. It took me about an hour to reach there. I went here for dinner with my sister who worked at The Curve. This kafe is located at Ikano (IPC), just opposite the The Curve building. Creative menus' book. I ordered the Traditional Mien Fen Guo. and drink the soy milk as I felt gastric was attacking :( My food! It was tasty enough, licin juga la sa makan. Hoho This was my sister's. If not mistaken, it was dried...mien. Cant recall the exact name. The sauce was perfect! After dinne...

Cerita Suka Duka Bisnes Shaklee

Bercampur baur perasaan bila ingat-ingat balik kenangan masa mula2 buat bisnes Shaklee. Awal-awal dulu tiada transport sendiri dan sa jarang simpan ready stock, bila ada order sa cari runner utk beli di branch & COD sm customer. Kalau jual harga non member, ada la suku atau kdg2 half profit bagi runner; belajar berbagi rezeki. Syukur jg runner yg sa pernah berurusan cukup jujur & amanah. God bless you bro! Dari penampang, ke seluruh Kota Kinabalu. Pernah juga minta runner datang ambil stok dari church sebab customer mau urgent masa tu. Bangga dgn kepelbagaian org Sabah, semua pun sporting habis.  Ada jg customer request order dulu tapi belum byr, sebab kawan2 jg jadi sa beli dulu guna duit sendiri. Sekalinya last minit cancel orderšŸ¤£ berhuhuhu sajalah dan berusaha jual balik sm org lain. Lesson learnt. Jadi jgn heran kalau sa minta payment dlu, kecuali COD lašŸ˜ Pernah dapat customer jauh dari Aussie beli bbrp kotak Nutriferon utk anak dia yg ada eczema. Tapi bila dia repeat...

CNY 2015

Gong Xi Fa Cai! Xinnian Kuaile! Chinese New Year marked the busiest day of the year. Weekends were filled with cleaning chores, shopping, preparing for food, hanging the tang-lung and get new $$$ notes for angpows.  CNY eve was just like a simple dinner for us, no yeesang as other chinese families would usually do.  But good la because not much work to do. First day CNY, we went to church :) I know I have the chinese look. haha Around 3.30pm my family came to visit but only bapa n few siblings n nephews/niece. Mama could not come due to other commitments.  Some of the snacks & drinks for guests, orange is a must! With my youngest sister and niece. It's a must to take picture during CNY :D They stayed for dinner and then go back home around 7pm. Afterwards all mom-in-law relatives came until around 9pm. Quite tired~~~ Second day CNY, sis-in-law's family came home for lunch, and then we went to...
