travelling with little baby aqeef

hmm, how shall i start now.alhamdulillah, everything went smoothly for us considering it's aqeef's first time on a plane and all.aqeef lagi cool dari mama dia.i am a well known muntah-bila-kapal-terbang-mendarat person in my family.tapi aqeef cool je senyum2,tp we made sure everytime kapal terbang nak bertolak and mendarat kami akan bagi aqeef susu. so far alhamdulillah, dia ok je.

dalam flight tu lagilah, sgt excited dia tgk kerusi banyak2 dia panjat2 ok.masa our flight to perth hari tu flight kosong, jadi kami mmg ambil sorang empat seat and sorang2 boleh tido baring mcm atas katil je.ngehngeh.akip apa lagi, sibuk la dia memanjat ke sana sini.bila org tahan, dia nangis ngada2 knowing full well mama dia akan bagi dia buat apa saja bila dia nangis ngada2, haish akip.

masa sampai perth hari tu,ada tornado kot kat perth, angin kuat gila, so the flight was swaying left right up and down juga, menyebabkan perut rasa terangkat terturun sampai saya muntah2 ya. akip boleh tgk mama dia and grin comel2 saja "ngeeeee...."haha.tp alhamdulillah dia tak affected pon.kalau dia sakit saya yg susah nak calm him down semua kan.keluar2 dari airport angin kuat gila ok.serius melayang.bayangkan empunya bdn yg berat mcm gajah ni pun boleh terbang, yang kurus2 tu apatah lagi, mmg terhuyung hayang and they had to hold on to a signage by the road side so that the wind wont blow them away.belum cerita pasir terbang masuk mata mulut bagai.masa tu dah fikir da "oh no, adakah perth mmg mcm ni?takkan nak makan pasir je sepanjang2 holiday,camne nak shopping?" haha.shopping itu penting please.

bag susu akip pun, alhamdulillah, lepas je even though bawa air lebih 100ml and all. biscuits dia semua pun lepas, bila tgk ada baby and cakap dalam bag adalah barang2 baby, mereka tak buka pun utk check,ok je. rupa-rupanya mmg its a rule, brg baby and prescribed medicine needed for the journey mmg no questions asked.huhu.so, lepas ni senanglah. even my sister the stewardess told us not to bring any liquid more than 100ml. she told us to bring empty flask and ask the crews to fill it up for us once we're on board.tapi saya degil, ngehngeh.alhamdulillah tadek pape.

satu lagi kastam kat australia. its a well known fact that their custom is the strictest in the world. oleh itu kami sgt takut.they normally will not allow any dairy products or food(especially food made in malaysia-kalau made in singapore boleh saje,diskriminasi sungguh kan?haha). my fear was how the heck am i going to smuggle aqeef's formula into their country?tapi bawa juga.haha.my sister told us to just bring it and declare that we're bringing the formula milk. kalau dia nak rampas, rampas la, asalkan dah try. saya pun bawa food dia, biscuits, bubur bagai.ngehngeh.dah la sepanjang2 flight tu risau, baca doa rabbiyassir wala tuassir ya karim non stop minta Allah mudahkan semuanya.

and then, we landed in perth.keluar dari flight, on the way to custom penuh dgn banner that said "Declare any Food.Penalty up to $10000 or 10 years in Jail". Something like that lah.haha. serious, lagi lah cuak please. nak tak nak, declare je lah that we're bringing food.lepas settle dgn immigration stuff semua, kami sampai bahagian kastam. tengok2 semua malaysian yg sama flight dgn kami kena buka bag, siap ada anjing bagai to sniff their bags for illegal stuff(drugs etc).gila scary ok.mmg terkumat kamit je mulut baca doa minta mudahkan.at least lepaskan susu aqeef pun jadilah. lalu berjalan lah kami dgn bag2 kami ke bahagian kastam. i went first and one lady officer approach me and took a look at my custom declaration form. and then she asked, "hello there,what food are we bringing in today?" then i answered "just formula milk for my baby and some biscuits.is it ok?" ada hati nak tanya is it ok please. tetibe dia jawab "that should be ok, you can proceed to the exit door and have a nice stay in perth madam".ternganga mulut i please.haha.and the whole family semua lepas.sbb bawa baby kot. org lain yg tengah kena periksa bag2 semua pelik apsal kitorang lepas. my mom said "itulah, kalau kita doa, Allah mesti tolong punya".itu mmg tak dpt disangkal. sapik siap cakap "kalau tau, da bawak da semua maggi and other food stuff".sbb serious kitorang tak kena check langsung.haish.sbb earlier on my sister told us yang dia tak pernah lepas brg2 dia, mesti kena check and selalulah maggi & berahims dia kena rampas.lalu kitorang keluarkanlah maggi and all food stuff dari luggage kami before keluar tu.

tadi masa balik dari perth flight penuh.supposedly we can get a bassinet for aqeef so that he can sleep comfortably(actually so that i can sleep confortably please-takyah pangku je sepanjang masa), tapi to use the bassinet we have to move to the upmost front row and need to be separated from my family.which is a no-no.haha, travel dgn family la seronok kan.so aqeef ended up sleeping on me the whole time.since the plane departed at 3am in the morning, i couldnt care less.aqeef and i slept through the journey, even bila food sampai pun i took 2 bites camtu and continued to sleep.haha.gila penat.

all in all, alhamdulillah, travel dgn aqeef mmg best, dia cool je,tak byk meragam.cuma biasalah, budak setahun, aktif dia lain macam sket, boy pula tu kan.mama n papa dia penat sketlah sbb selalu lepas main dgn akip, kalau penat boleh pass kat kakak maryam aqeef.haha.skrg, all the way mama n papa.but i'm not complaining, i got to bond with my precious baby more that way. :)
