Universal Studios, Hollywood.

O-la!
As promised, here are the photos at Universal Studios, Hollywood. We spend a half day at Universal Studios. The ticket gives you access to all the attractions.Both of our tickets cost nearly RM500....Pastu THE ONLY one yg Kami enjoy ialah Shrek 4d ni jer sbb yang lain kami tak dapat nak naik.nak gilir2 boleh tapi tak best la..mestila nak naik berdua jugak.
Tell you, Kazim suka sgt tgk SHREK 4D ni..siap gelak2! Mcm tak percaya! Ni je pon yang dia boleh masuk..Ohh lagi satu yg Studio Tour tu..tp Kazim tdo je atas train tu, bestkan angin sepoi2 bahasa... The narrated tram tour took us through the studio's active back-lot, and demonstrations of special effects such as an earthquake, Jaws, King Kong, a flash flood, car crashes--Tokyo drift, and takes you through famous movie sets and TV shows from Universal movies such as War of the World, Psycho, and the TV show Desperate Housewives...The best part, I managed to visit my neighborhoods

at WISTERIA LANE...mana lagi :p

Furthermore, at the FRONT LOT (oohh I forgot Stage 25 kot) where they actually shoot CSI
War of the world
This scene where the plane crashes the house

Psycho Set.
Hari tu baru tgk kt HBO....

Sedikit tips kalau ke Universal Studios:

• Sit on the left side of the tram (Studio Tour) for better views. Most of the actions- tokyo drift, rain and flood..etc semua kat sebelah kiri.

• Plan( ni penting tu org2 yg time dia limited, tp kalau mmg tak kesah.so takperla)!! The rides and the other attractions are spread over two levels (upper Lot and lower Lot) so if you dont have a lot of time you may want to check the schedule first.Kami main hentam je gi mana2 last2 bila nk beratur utk Studio Tour tu lama la pulak.kalau kami plan awal2, mesti takda la lama cam hari tu

• Buy ticket online.Jimat masa.Tak payah nak pk nak beli ticket ke aper bila sampai sana.Click here to buy.Pastu dtg awal dengan siap2 print sbb kdg2 ramai yg beratur jugak.

• Kalau boleh pergi weekdays, or masa diorang tak cuti ( Mexico holidays pon amik kira sbb Mexico kan dah dekat ngn LA) including Japan's holidays.

• If you're willing to pay extra money to save the hassle of standing in line, buy a "Front of Line" or they call FAST TRACK pass, as well as VIP passes (private tours) .This will allow you to jump the line..how cool is that?Huhuhu

How I wish!..but we didnt manage to go in because...err..we have baby ..remember???? !!

My fav cartoon--Scooby doo!I grew up watching Scooby-Doo and Im still watching it ..well..SOMETIMES! Every week they manage to solve the mysteries with the help of the talking dog-scooby and the genius one Velma...

"Im thirsty"

Gulp...gup gup gup

We were staring at a big splash of water at the end of the Jurassic Park rides. Can't stop imagining the adrenalin rush if I were riding in it.
Despite of not being able to ride on any roller costers, or any rides, I was enjoying myself so much it’s unreal.Kazim amazed me in so many things.He’s been really good during outing – just chilling and generally happy all the time (just don’t let him get up sad !!). Spending time with our little guy is..so priceless!
Look at her..so pwettyy!

The Adventures of Curious George Go to Town Playground:
A water play area for the kids. It is quite popular during summertime.

The talking donkey from SHREK the Movie.Comel sgt boleh ckp2.I could spend days watching him . Well..that's me..so jakun!





Food ada bnyk choices.Tony Romas, Bubba Gump, HRC..and..few restaurants yang best. Ive found the food is over priced, but what theme park's aren't?But anyways, ada satu kedai Doughnut tu I loikeee..( tp tatau la kalau time tu lapar kan) camm diorang letak cinnamon..tp sedap! Ohh tidakk..jgn la bg I mengidam bukan2 matila lakiku kena cari nun jauh di sana. ? We had our late lunch consisting of a good Spaghetti & fish and chips at the

WOLFGANG PUCK

The food was simple yet tasty. Definitely will return back here if there is a chance. Initially my husband thought the price at this particular restaurant is expensive since he knew that Wolfgang is a famous chef.(psst..the Chef/ Owner has made an appearance on TV shows --LAS VEGAS) But, to his surprise it is really affordable. A plate of spaghetti will only cost around USD8-10.
Thanks baby..kenyang sudAh !
Next, went to Macy's.. nak cari few things barang2 yang dipesan. Kat situ dah lupa amik gambar sbb seronok..sgt2. Ohh kat bawah ni tgk la Kazim..dia sgt AMAZED dgn tangan sendiri.

"My fingers"

"I can reach the sky!"

Having lunch while our little guy entertains himself with his own fingers or should I call his own imagination!
All in all, it was a memorable 2 in 1 trip--Anniversary + Business Trip.The only thing that could have made it better was if:-
Mumsy was there to look after Kazim , jadi bolehlah kami naik semua ride tu dengan senang hati. Plus, I know my mother mmg tak main semua2 ride tu . Ooohh I wish! ..OR I really wish my SIL aka my bro's wife was there because she also tak suka main semua2 tu.Ohh..Next time I 'll make sure one of them kena ada!!!

Oh ya, some says, WHEN YOU HAVE KIDS, u dah tak berapa suka nak shop
especially barang sendiri..kan kan? u akan pk anak dulu..aper2 semua anak dulu kan?Tak beli untuk diri sendiri pon tak kesah..asal anak dulu
Ermm..btol ke?

My boy is 8 months.So fast, huh.Where does the time go?
Some updates:

• He loves to grab and shake things..and also throw things...
• Kazim can sit on his own for quite a while but not able to pull himself up into a sitting position on his own.
• His hair is starting to grow a bit thicker
• Kazim definitely wants his mommy 24/7..dah mcm gam asyik melekat especially malam.
  

other than that, Kazim suka main sembur2..eeeeeeeeeeeeee...geram!

Happy for you sayang!
Blog again later!

Kazim's First Trip to ..meet Mr.Sponge Bob

Ola!
Aaarghhh..finally! We reached Los Angeles around 4pm. On the flight from Taipei to Los Angeles, Kazim was good. Myself?Well..not so bad!The trick is, I get plenty of rest a night before. A good sleep not only allows me to keep Kazim entertained, it also allows me to stay alert during on board.Alhamdulillah everything turned out so well.The main thing to remember about traveling with baby is to relax, be patient and ENJOY!Tell you, it will likely go much better than you are anticipating!!When it comes to my little man-- Kazim, I don't need a bag full of toys to keep him happy,I gave him books, magazines,spoons..or anything in the flight will do.

Nothing much after that. pergi hotel pastu check in. siap2 sbb nk kuar dinner. malang sekali masa kami kuar kedai tutup so balik bilik kami pon mkn maggie. Kazim sampai2 je terus takda jet lag langsung. My husband..of course penat sbb kerja and me? Ermm..penat. dan lapar sbb tak mkn proper ....rasa nak baring and tdo terus pon ader! Tapi kami sempat singgah Thrifty Car Rental sbb nak sewa kereta.Ohh.. balik hotel aper lagi, mandi pastu layan citer2 kat TV. Kami pon tdo dengan tak nyenyak sbb yours truly jet lag.

Overall I was satisfied with the hotel, the beds are the heavenly beds they advertise which are comfortable with down pillows and comforter.Thank you so much!
Next day, woke up at 630am sbb Kazim kejut.I mcm..wahh time kat Msia pon bangun 630am jugak..kt sana pon sama ? Adoii..mata mcm berat sgt tp mata Kazim dah bersinar2. nak taknak I pon terus la mandi manda pastu siapkan Kazim, bagi makanan dia sambil layan TV lg sekali. Dlm kul 9am kami keluar sbb nak gi breakfast.tp lagi sekali malang food yg kami cari takda! Pastu kami pon gi TARGET. Wahhh part ni paling best sbb I LOVE TARGET..mcm2 ada. Mata berpinar tgk food kat situ.Rasa camm semua nak beli. Yups, bought Milk Choc and fruits and sikit2 food Kazim.

Next stop, we decided to visit Camarillo Factory Outlets. We left TARGET approximately around 11am so that we could get there by 12pm. Kazim was asleep throughout the journey *big grin*. Masa kami gi ni, sales baru je habis tapi ada la 2-3 tempat yang masih ada sales ni. Our first stop was at Coach since I got so many orders from here!Each bag came out to about USD180-380 (masa kami gi ni, 3.3) after discount and sale tax .Tgk design mcm mana kan.Ader jugak yg discount sikit... Then, we moved to Polo Ralph Lauren, Oshkosh, Carters and many more!

See behind me, UGG boots store???Ohh..I bought my UGG boot at Oz..and YES much more cheaper than USA even though they have sales!
We had lunch at their food court.Both of us settled for Salmon Rice cost nearly USD30. By the time I was done picking and paid for my 'ALL SHOPPING ITEMS", it was already 8pm. They close at 9pm Mon-Friday and at 8pm during weekends. That was fast. Time passes real fast when you are having fun, in my case … having fun in shopping.Retaily therapy kan...! Tapi..bila tgk2 balik none of the things my barang..huhuhu..sbb I was so excited nak gi Universal Studios daripada shopping. In life kita kena pilih mana satu kita nak kan.. shopping or Universal Studios..MMG terang2 la haku pilih UNIVERSAL STUDIOS or DISNEYLAND! Kalau ikut hati mmg la nak 2-2 tp..apekan daya.

Harapan menggunung nak gi Walk Of Fame berkecai habis hari tu sbb satu hari suntuk kat situ.
Nak singgah TARGET pon sampai lupa dah. Kami sampai hotel pastu tgk TV sampai tertido.Kazim mmg elok jer, time org sana tdo, dia tdo, org sana bangun dia bangun. Mata kami la ..mcm PANDA dah rasanya.

Okay, itu saja, more on Universal Studios later.

p.s; Lia n Chom, FM aderr.. cost dlm RM25-30 *smile* Nora,Ohh wristlets RM150.
Muahhhs

Journey to meet Mr.Spongebob

Part 1
Hello!
How are you?..Boy, it’s such a long trip from here to L.A. and back. Just getting there, or back home, takes all day with the airport security, layovers, and travel itself. It’s exhausting but..FUN!
Ingat dah tak dapat pergi dah sbb pasal Visa Kazim tp..with a few phone calls..akhirnya berjaya jugak dapatkan Visa on 2nd June..iaitu hari kami nak naik flight..huhuhu mencabar okey ,ke sana ke mari.Thanks to US Embassy!A round of applause and a drink! Cheers!Thank you so much!

But anyways, we went to Wisma MCA to apply our son's tourist visa because we'll be accompanying Apeng/Aman on his business trip and probably tour some places too( and yes..it's means H.O.L.I.D.A.Y for me and Kazim since June is our anniversary month!)
How to apply USA visa for your child? Click here. Dont forget to complete your Ds-160 application online earlier and print them! Nanti kalau tak buat, kat sana baru terkial2 nak buat nanti amik masa pulak. OK enuff about Visa.

So,on 2nd June, Leen dtg rumah dalam kul 930 pagi then kami terus gi USA Embassy sbb I promised them to be there by 11am. Lepas tu Leen hantar kami straight gi KL Sentral sbb I nk amik KLIA Express tu terus memandangkan our flt dlm kul 259pm camtu.Dengan 2 bags( diaper bag+our bag) dan satu stroller, rasa cam mula2 awkward sbb selama ni ada husband yg tolong pegang semua benda. So masa kat KL SEntral tu I put on my babybjorn pastu stroller tu jadi trolley letak the 2 bags..huhuhu senang cerita!! Kazim mmg I dah kata awal2 takda saper akan layan dia kalau cranky sbb Papa dia takda. Tell you, he's doing SO GOOD! dlm train duk je atas pangku I tanpa "membuaskan" diri.

We reached airport around 1245pm..sempat sgtla nk catch up the flight! Thanks sgt2 Leen sbb bnyk tolong kami that day! I had lunch( masa ni Kazim tgh afternoon nap)Ada org tanya how I manage to perform my prayer with Kazim,erm,Kalau dia tdo senang sikit kan, so I solat near to his stroller , I angkat je stroller tu naik (lapik tayar tu dgn kertas supaya tak kotor lantai). EASY! semua turned out so WELL! Happy sgt2.


On board, I have no problems at all.They put me at row 11K.. Malaysia Airlines provided every comfort imaginable for him including their onboard "baby crib" or bassinet which was really handy. He was fine and slept most of the time ,tp adalah bangun for susu dan juga main2. Lucky me ramai passenger duk melayan Kazim, babies kan semua org suka!.As usual, masa take off and landing I used my boobies as a pacifier to help the ear popping and gave him lots of fluids. So the first 4 hours was so good. Masa transit kat Taipei, Kazim bangun jer..tegur semua org yg lalu-lalang..
Took us about nearly 14 hours to reach LAX from Taipei.
Taipei- LAX was good too.But this time dia tdo masa yg patut dia tdo and bgn mcm biasa..Masa I nak gi toilet, I bawakla Kazim, dia duk atas riba and I buatla my business..huhu.I never leave him alone even though he was asleep sbb takut2 dia terjun dari bassinet tu. Yups of course, flight attendants mmg ada dan boleh tgk kan tp I as a mother kena la alert jugak.
Masa solat dalam flight, I put Kazim kt sebelah, dia crawl and duduk tepi..so takda masalah langsung.Semua OK.

Tell you, I didn't have a proper sleep because at the back of my mind Im worried that Kazim will fall down from the bassinet. Last but not least,many thanks to Kazim for being very cooperative even though it was such a hard day for him ! =D And thanks for staying with me throughout this journey! Thank you thank you!
Well, that's all for now.
Will continue more later.


toodles!
Love.

Kazim 7 months!

Happy 7even Months Kazim!

So much seems to happen every day, yet when I sit to write about it, I find myself thinking "nak tulis aperrr ni??"..literally everyday is something new .I love being a mother!The most exciting thing lately is that his two bottom teeth poked through. I was snuggling him and for whatever reason I went to check his teeth, and low and behold I felt the sharp edges!Yippieee~ . Kazim is eating pretty well, ever since he started taking solids he doesn't like any packed food such as Gerber, Heinz ..etc. He just loves his mom's homemade puree..hahaha..I am a proud mom again! Among his fav;sweet potatoes+fish,spinach,fruits ...Anakku ore Kelate, suko make bendo manih!huhuhu

Mango+Pear Puree1.cut into cubes
