the other sights of jejln excitements...

I have a tight schedule this week..but i m putting my writing here as i just cant help myself of not membebel (tats me anyway)...guess this d only post for this wk..

Talking bout jejln @ travelling @ melancong, I bet it may sound sooo exciting to many of us. Yes there r some truth in it..if not why travel la kan..

I just want to share some other sights of it other than all da excitement thingy..

Before that 2 give u a better picture, some info here..

#is a week trip to Paris, leaving on Saturday 16th & will reach home back on Friday, May 22nd. In between our plan is to visit other part of Paris ie Lille (3hrs frm Paris) and to Brussels (an hr frm Lille), both to spend a night there..

#Will use all kind of transport, to drive frm home to Vienna Airport, take Air France to Paris, take train 2 reach d rented apartment. In Paris possibly to use all sort of public transport ie, trams, trains, underground metro & even buses..As to Lille & Brussels will rent a car as it takes total 4hrs driving.

#Reason to choose an apartment for our accommodation in Paris is definitely for the kitchenette facilities. At least can save a bit for food & of coz a better place 2 do all sort of baby related stuff (cuci botol, sterilize or even washing some clothes! –only if needed to)


Thus, obviously there are massive thgs 2 be done prior 2 our visit

There is another 4 nites before d departure but as at ths moment these are still pending..

^Search, choose & book Hotel in Lille & d last nite at somewhere near d Paris Airport (d nearer d better 2 avoid any unexpected obstacles)

^Search, choose & book rental car

^Search for available bb food, is d same wth ere?? Paris is French, Austria is Deutch..always language prolblems ere in Europe..

^Search for Halal restaurant/food (run by d Arabs), if any

^Itenery in Paris. This is the major one...Have few in mind but have to properly plan & arrange as:

*time is limited, just to maximize whatever possible

*info on baby friendly places..ie is ok to bring stoller 2 d Louvre Museum ??, pit stops for changing Harris’s diapers, feeding.. etc etc

*which place need tickets, how much it cost & to search if available to purchase online as to avoid que

*the most head ache is 2 properly plan how 2 commute in d city..which is within reasonable walking distance (remember we have Harris here), or when 2 use public transport (is it trams, metro or bus or what). & some finding says that underground is not so baby friendly as no elevator/lift available & the metro can be as full as sardine! (that remind me the LRT during peak hr), how to feed in with a bulky stroller than?? & how 2 really ignore those annoying peoples starring at u all da way..

*above all why headache??, coz ultimately we have to find the most reasonable prices so that the total cost is within d budget.

*& d fact that there are 2 pandai peoples ere ie me & my Dear that having different preferences & opinion..thus a lot lot lots of conflicts in deciding everything. Again EVERYTHING !!!(rite frm our departure).. m stressssss..arghhhh
Trust me d real travel is not as exiting as what u promptly imaging, especially when you have a baby. Coz as a mom, a lot of thing is in ur mind..

-Say u r at point B & have next point C 2 go & suddenly ur bb turning to be bad mood, do u thich u can have a peace in mind?? Ignore like nothg??

-And if ur bb is sleeping and suddenly wake up with a very loud cry when u r in a crowded train,..to what extend u can do when ur own movement is also very limited..

-When ur bb turn 2 b not feeling well..can u really enjoy?? Nothg else more important rite

-When d public transport have disruptions in service or delay & u r in hurry, can u really ‘run’ & quickly find alternative options..note here u r also bringing stuff like bags, strollers & all those gadgets..

-When d polizei at the airport making fuss of ur details..& all sort of test & verification particularly on bb liquids..

-When u think tat ur partner has made wrong or inaccurate decision (not as what u suggested earlier), & ur bb is not behaving well, can u really be an angle, being patience & show no reaction at all?? if u can, I solute u!! (gimme a tip then)


The above is not my imagination but yet the true facts of our experience in the past trips..

I just cant simply forget & ignore those incidents, the panic situation, the worried feeling, the energy test (up & down d steep stairs wth stroller & bb, walk, walk & walk..), the emotion test (angry, annoying peoples, or Harris unexpected behave), the unexpected weathr etc..

So is a mixed feeling..not all da excitement. But when we posing later, hope it doesn’t show yaaa.. (tas why another headache now is 2 decide which camera/SLR to buy)

as much as I can , I try to restore in my mind on how lucky am I 2 have d opportunity, how should I b thankful 2 God the Almighty & appreciate my partner, to grow loves & heppiness..

& faithfully, to learn from d experience.. & when seeing those beautiful scenery & amazing creatures..Maha suci Allah..jadikanlah aku hambaNya yg beriman & bersyukur..amin…
hahhh leganya dah release ths feeling...r u sleepy ?> hihi

(hope I can spare d time 2 share my xperience later, pls pray everythg will fine & manageable esp for Harris..)

  2. huhu....not sleepy at all...nice post...=)..maybe becoz I wanna know the feeling of travelling in others country, which I haven't got a chance..."yet"..hehe..
    for the slr/camera things, I'm sorry becoz cant help you much.. hm..however it is, all camera/slr is good, some minor advantages of one on the another, but yet, it'll depend on us, to capture a great moment. I've seen many photographer that comes out with outstanding picture, with the less expensive gadget/gear. When you have your camera, just click and click and click...hehe..:p..well that is what a noob like me have been doing...huhuhu..
