11 Streets Shopping Madness! TODAY!

11 Streets Shopping Madness! TODAY!




Spent hours browsing the website, checking countless of great offers and flash deals sampai macam ohmaiii banyaknya benda nak beli. But of course, being a mom *Asian pulak* haha mestilah nak stock up barang Alana, mainly formula milk and diapers. Then some household items and grocery.

Macam I, I browse through the brands sale, macam Nestle, Unicharm, sebab senang dah tau barang apa ada bawah brands tu. And senang tengok sebab each brand ada their own offering jugak, contoh Nestle ada 30% cart discount. Banyak ok?


Or in my case, memang lepas compare usual buying price dengan promo yang kadang-kadang ada online, nothing beats today's discounted price on 11 STREET untuk susu formula Alana. RM300 for 5+1 tins. RM60 je ok satu tin? Normal price dok beli RM87 haha sangat lah jimat weyy. Baby fair pun takda offer macam ni. (Don't forget to choose yang ada FREE SHIPPING hehee, kata nak jimat habis-habisan). 

Ni contoh, barang yang memang every month kena stock up, belum lagi barang dapur, home equipments macam cari toaster baru sebab yang lama rosak, new external disk and more. Time ni nak cari benda-benda yang diperlukan, sebab dapat banyak discount.

Tak cool lagi?

Travel items pun ada. Discount yang amat banyak untuk tickets macam Aquaria RM21 OMG, Sunway Lagoon RM70 OMG! and banyak lagi dalam and luar negara. Banyaklah, tak tersenarai, and lebih afdal korang browse sendiri. Kan nak cuti sekolah dah, sesuai la borong tickets theme parks and holiday package sementara tengah murah. Paling murah so far yang I dah compare. 


Ok? Malas nak type 11 Street takpe, nak click je sini 11 STREET SHOPPING MADNESS terus boleh pergi shopping online. Jangan cakap Sis tak share hehehehe. Bab penjimatan mak-mak, mesti share punya. Last but not least, jangan lupa download coupon macam ni. Dah la discount price, then guna coupon dapat discount lagi, kalau dapat free shipping, haaa memang win lah!

Perth Day 1 - Caversham Wildlife Park

Perth Day 1 - Caversham Wildlife Park


First activity kami dekat Perth ialah melawat Caversham Wildlife Park. Sebab trip ada kanak-kanak, so kena beli jiwa dia orang dulu haha. Yang shopping and merayau dalam CBD tu kita push towards the end, awal-awal ni semua activity yang sesuai untuk kids.



Caversham Wildlife Park is more than just a zoo. But in comparison to Phillip Island Wildlife Park, of course PIWP lagi best, but fret not, once you arrived at the Whiteman Park entrance, the scenery will leave you in awe! The route towards the park was very scenic, lots of native trees and plants and we even spotted few wild kangaroos from afar. 30 minutes drive from the city, guna Google Maps Inshaallah sampai hehe. Plenty free parking around the park, don't worry :)




Weather was hot, like crazy hot, maybe akan lebih enjoy the place if weather a bit breezy. TIPS: Don't forget to apply sunscreen and bring along a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses. Plenty of shady spots to sit under if needed, but still panaih rasa dia :P




Zoo entry fee is reasonable (Latest - Adult: AUD28 and Child: AUD12.50), good variety of native Australian animals, knowledgeable zoo keepers (helpful too; most of them rajin tolong take photos), farm show was amusing (please check on sessions timing to avoid disappointment), great park layout and directions around the park quite clear (Inshallah tak sesat hehe).  





Two famous attractions are Wombat & Friends enclosure (meet the super fat wombat, interact with snake) and Kangaroo enclosure; where you can touch, interact and feed the kangaroos (selfie also cannn). However, I rasa the Kangaroos look a little lazy or maybe overfed as the food are freely available. As for Koala, we can only see but not allowed to hug or cuddle, slightly stroke their fur boleh lah. Anyhow, just don't forget to take the mandatory selfie with Koala (walaupun they barely open their eyes, quite sleepy when we went in) hehe.










There's a small cafe there (near the entrance) but not sure on Halal status tho (said to be Halal, boleh check on website kot). Clean washrooms and ada souvenir shop too, just in case nak cari seketul dua barang kenangan. Overall, the place is well kept and maintained, even the animals are sufficiently fed too. The park is definitely as good as most reviews mentioned, fun for both adults and kids. 




For more info, visit the website if you are planning your trip here . :) Caversham Wildlife Park.

After spending the earlier part of the day here, then kita keluar picnic lunch and solat at one of the playgrounds around the park (still within Whiteman area). 




TIPS: Bring your own food, we even angkut the rice cooker haha and utilize the excellent picnic facilities. We then had a quick tour to the Motor Museum (perfect for boys) and Train station. Ada waterpark jugak, unfortunately we were running out of time, sebab nak pergi Margaret River pulak.

Hari Pertama Persekolahan - Adam Haris & Aiman Haris

Hari Pertama Persekolahan - Adam Haris & Aiman Haris


Haloooo...


Kepada yang dah lama follow blog Shilashower ni, terutamanya dari zaman Adam & Aiman baby, haaaa derang berdua dah sekolah rendah youuu. How time flies kan? Dan sebab peristiwa ni sangat penting, maka Mummy kena bukak balik blogspot bersawang ni and update jugak story. Penting. Sangat penting untuk kenangan masa depan.

Adam Haris darjah 2 and Aiman Haris darjah 1. Yer, combo berganda ni dah sekolah bersama-sama. Monday was such a tiring day and by 7pm Mummy dah nampak bantal je, lain takda, dinner pun tak kuasa.

Maybe sebab first day semalam, Mummy semangat bangun pukul 5 pagi masakkan foods yang dia orang nak bawak pergi sekolah. Adam dulu standard one memang almost everyday bawa bekal, sebab dia ni tak berapa minat makanan kantin, so kita try nak train Aiman the same. So sorang dah order Olio Pasta, sorang nak Chicken Nuggets. Sebab hari pertama kan, so layankan aja request2 dia orang. Akan datang, ikut suka Mummy nak prepare breakfast box apa hehee.



Being a kekwat Mummy I am haha, nak hantar pergi sekolah pun penuh strategi. Sebab bila sampai sekolah, I yang turun dulu kereta with their two bags, pergi masuk kelas and book tempat dulu hehe. Kalau nak tunggu dia orang dua jalan, melenggang mak minah, lambattt. Adam sebab nak cari tempat bawah kipas, sebab dia kan ada eczema, so by afternoon selalunya dia dah tergaru-garu. Aiman pulak, takmau dia duduk belakang sangat, sat lagi dia main ja lebih, biar dekat Cikgu takpa hehe.

First day sekolah kebangsaan, activity quite straight forward. Budak-budak pun masuk kelas terus, kedai buku pun tak crowded maybe parents memang ramai dah get ready buku semua awal (bagus!). Cuma waktu rehat, meja macam tak cukup, ye la sebab dah parents pun pakat duduk sekali dekat meja, then kena hambat dengan cikgu hahaha baru semua bangun. Baruuu budak-budak dapat duduk makan. Biasalah, first day, bukan semua parents faham dos and donts kawasan sekolah, yer dak?

Kita risau sangat Aiman tak boleh cope new environment, sebab sekolah kebangsaan kan ramai, huru hara la sikit dari keadaan dia masa dekat Brainy Bunch. Unfortunately nope. Dia rileks je, senyum je bila kita angkat tangan dekat dia. Towards nak balik tu, siap sakan dia main dalam kelas. Meleset betul sangkaan Mummy hehe. Ni tengok gaya, dengan kawan-kawan Abang Adam dia sapu buat geng.

Tengah hari sambung sekolah agama. Ada lah break dalam sejam setengah in between dua sekolah. Bunyi agak penat tapi biarlah dia pergi sekolah agama, kalau duduk rumah, membazir masa main je lebih. Adam dulu pun awal-awal kita kesian, lama-lama dia ok je. Dari tak tau baca and tulis jawi langsung, sekarang dah boleh macam-macam. Alhamdulillah...


Adam first day ok je, sebab dia dah darjah dua. Tak sabar masuk sekolah adalah. Sebab nak jumpa kawan-kawan after long holidays kan. Aiman yang kita risaukan segala macam, rileks je. In fact, pagi-pagi dia lagi senang bangun mandi and bersiap and breakfast dari Abang. Adam kalau kejut mesti cakap, "5 minit". Dia punya 5 minit adalah 4-5 round, dekat setengah jam baru bangun. 

-___-

Beg sekolah, buku sekolah, barang sekolah all in good condition, pulang dalam kuantiti yang sepatutnya hehe. Baju sekolah je la dah kelaut warna. Boys, takkan nak expect suci murni putih baju kan hehe.

For now, Mummy belum dapat nak fikir macam mana nak adjust jadual harian. Hantar and amik sekolah. In between buat kerja and nak kena free kan time malam, sebab dah dua orang sekolah, kena focus sikit. Sebab kalau sambil lewa, jawab dia dua-dua lah main sekali. Malam semalam we started with something basic dulu, simple. Baca Iqra for 30 minutes. Lepas baca, they have 30 minutes untuk main game or tengok tv, sebelum dua-dua kena hambat pi tidoq hehe. Sebab first few weeks ni belum ada homework, so kita chill dulu. Buat yang simple. Tak berani nak terlalu chill pulak, sebab dua-dua bersama ni, satgi "brother see brother do".

Beg sekolah pun tak da nak check apa sangat, 2 orang 2 sekolah, so ada 4 beg sekolah, ada 4 kotak pensel haha. Takyah dok kelam kabut nak tukar-tukar beg, nak transfer buku and kotak pensel. Buat pening je. Tahun lepas Adam macam tu, pastu nanti buku sekolah kebangsaan and sekolah agama habis bercampur. Tahun ni dua orang, Mummy lebih prepare and details in every aspect. Gituuu.

Ok lah. Sambung nanti. (Mummy Shilashower kata antara azam tahun 2017 nak rajin update blog haha). Tengoklah nanti. :P

Perth - Thrifty Car Hire and Mahira Holiday Homes

Perth - Thrifty Car Hire and Mahira Holiday Homes


Yuhuuuuu!

I'm back! I know it's been a while since the last update and maybe some of you probably think that I've given up on blogging hehe. No, not just yet. Anyway, I hope you guys are still interested in my blog. :P

I have a long list of interesting and fun stories to share on the blog, mainly travel related posts, so today I decided to start with our Perth trip (Nov 2015, 11A + 3C) focusing on car hire and accommodation, which many people been whatsapp-ing me for the details. 

CAR HIRE.

We chose Thrifty. Well, we compared few but finally decided on Thrifty as it was the cheapest for the vehicles we were getting and got all major requirement checked. Most importantly to include "Unlimited KM" and "Full Insurance Coverage" (zero excess, tyre/windscreen/hail damage coverage, 24hr roadside assistance) so we can drive with a complete peace of mind. Plus, we added one baby seat for my niece (2yo) whereas Adam and Aiman were strapped safely in the back seat (they were too tall for booster seats).

We rented Hyundai iMax and Mitsubishi ASX, an intermediate van and a wagon, but if you are looking for something smaller, compact maybe, Bayswater car hire is cheaper. However, they don't operate from the airport, so you need to pay the extra cost to get the car ready at the airport. 

Total amount paid, as below. Hope this helps for your travel-mathematical works hehe.




Able to sumbat all this and 11 adults plus 3 kids into iMax and Mitsu. :P

HOUSE. 

As for the house, I think we really hit the jackpot by staying here. The house was definitely large and comfortable enough to have place all of us (4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, if not mistaken a total of 7 queen size beds!). Well equipped kitchen, washing machine, dryer, aircond/heater, massive patio area with bbq set, linen and towels all provided. The best part is Stockland Riverton Shopping Centre is just a walk away from home. (Woolworths there!). Beautiful neighborhood, quite and close to Canning River too. 



Visit Mahira Holiday Homes website for their contact details. A Malaysian owned company, so don't be surprised if you see a fully loaded pantry with Maggi, Kicap Kicap Udang, Sup Bunjut and whatnot. Just like us, when we tak habis consume the foods we brought into Aussie land (Maggi, Kicap ABC, spices, can foods) we sort of stocking up the pantry for the next guests too hehe.


Ok, done with the above. I shall sambung next time with Tokyo Airbnb review pulak okies? :)


Booked online, pay later at the counter using credit card (make sure to validate your overseas usage prior leaving the country).




Car rental bay. Collection and return process went smoothly.
























Want to see what we cooked over the 5 days stay? Antaranya.
