then i terus proceed to Firestar utk hantar result medical + paspot my MIL, and her visa photo.
Nasib baiklah i nih terer jugak jalan-jalan KL nih. hehehehe...(actually tak la terer mana pun..apa susah, kalau terlajak ke, u-turn la balik hahahha). Sampai jugak lah ke semua tempat utk urusan-urusan ni smua. and hari ni i terpaksa bawak si Yaya (Zuzu dh blk kg 3 hr lepas dgn maktok). nasib baik jgk cik Yaya kita nih tak meragam sgt sepanjang dalam kereta ke sana-sini tuh. Alhamdulillah..dlm pukul 4 pm dah setel semuanya...
So malam ni me n Yaya akan baik kampung yeyayy!!!! tiket dah pun beli, kami balik naik bas jek berdua-duaan. Along akan hantar kami ke stesen Duta.
Insya Allah i akan balik semula ke KL untuk kemas barang2 umah n packing sikit2 minggu depan, then balik kampung lagi untuk berpuasa di sana...
Oh ya, Amet pun dah bbm me tadi cakap dia dah submit additional docs yg diperlukan utk yellowslip tu, and Alhamduillah...kali ni diterima seadanya tanpa mintak apa-apa lagi...just tunggu approval jek in few days...

TAK CUKUP LAGI!!!
malangnya, jenis pak arab nih mmg tak reti buat guideline, ada jugak lagi documet yg tak cukup! Aduusssss...geramnya (i yg kat sini rasa mcm nk terbang jek gi sana mai hamun pak arab b*ng*k tuh!).
Utk yellowslip, doc yg dia mintak hari ni plak ialah : translation degree Amet yg certified true copy.
(Action taken : Amet has to go to translation centre kat Jubail City and mintak chop plak)
Utk whiteslip plak diorang mintak : copy pasport mak.
(Action taken : I have to scan paspot mak and email to Amet to be printed)
And for this whiteslip plak rupa-rupanya kena urus sendiri, means Amet has to go to MOFA (Min. of Foreign Affairs) yg terletak nuunnnn di Dammam plak. Huhuhuhu...dah la dgn takde transport lagi..mcm2 hal lah ko ni arab oiiii.....awat la cek tak habaq mai awai-awai haa???
Adehhhh...doa-doa ja lah semuanya agar dapat disempurnakan by the time we all nak fly nanti. Jgn la ada apa-apa aral lagi lepas ni Ya Allah....

FLIGHT TICKETS BOOKED!
Actually, hari I dapat e-pin tu, I jugak try to booking flight tickets. We have decided to book somewhere around 18th August sbb keesokannya ialah weekend kat Jubail, so Amet could spend time with us.
Then I try la bukak MAS website, ada la flight bt on 20th,kira okeh la nak booking tergedik-gedik dah nih. Dah elok I isi smua info, tiba kat payment, sangkut plak..xtau hapa problemnya, then tetiba disconnect la pulak….bila I dah re-connect balik kena la plak booking baru sbb tadi x sempat nak confirm.
Tetiba pulak, MAS punya flight utk tarikh tu dah fully booked plak…dah la fully booked tarikh tu, try tengok tarikh lain2 pun full gak sampai lepas Raya! Huwaa…..biaq betoi…
So I pun try la flight lain – Qatar and Etihad. Okeh dua2 pun ada flight on 18th cantek dah. Tapi fare mahai sikit dari MAS. Okehlaa…nak booking la Etihad.tapi…sampai tang payment, pun sangkut lagik….katanya credit card not recognized la hapa..dah berkali-kali I try, still same problem. Okehlaa…we all pun decided esok I gi beli kat travel agent jek la…
Then masuk la tido dgn hati yg bengkek giler!!! (boleh plak tido tuh…hahahah)
Keesokannya pagi2 buta I bangun (sbb ada medical check-up kan), sempat gak ON laptop dulu. Tetiba terfikir nak try bukak MAS sekali lagi. Tetiba kan…punyalah hantu…ada la plak lagi tak habis2 juai pun lagi tiket 20hb tu….i pun cepat2 la pulun isi masukkan info kat order form semua, then terus proceed dgn payment. Alhamdulillah…successful!!! Hai..saje jek malam tadi nak menguji ketahanan mental I nih…
Tetiba kan, masa I tgh tunggu turn kat hospital tu, my BB prompted an email from MAS…And….
Barulah I perasan..semua 4 tiket yg I booking tu yg MH Low Fare punyer…means NO SEAT SELECTIONNN!!!! Huuwaaaaaaaaaa…!!! Manalah anak-anak ibu yg comel-comel tu akan tercampak nanti….adehhhhh…pening la balik kepala I nih…
I pun terus la buat panggilan kecemasan to MAS. Malangnya, utk MH Low Fare punya booking, u are not allowed to : upgrade, change date, cancel or apa2. Itulah maksud sebenar tambang murah!
Adehhh….dah xleh buat apa la makcik…naik jek la. I Cuma mampu berdoa, moga-moga ada yg lembut hati, sanggup tukar tempat dgn I utk duduk dkt dgn anak-anak nanti…huhuhuhu…
So everybody, I hereby formerly announce that we (me & anak2 ) will be leaving on :
Day : Friday
Time : 11.59 pm.
oh lupa plak..my MIL pun akan ikut sekali tapi as visitor sajalah, x dapat jadik resident hehehe :) She will fly back to Malaysia on the 18/9/2010, yesss..means she will berhari raya with us in Jubail. Oh adik kakok di kampung...jangan berdukacita tanpa mak di hari raya nanti ye...selamat menjamu selera dgn megi n nasik lemak kak Tuti hahahahhahahaa...
and thanks to my MIL yg telah meminjamkan credit card utk payment tiket2 nih. nanti sila claim dgn anakanda ye....hehehhehe....

MEDICAL CHECK-UP
Alhamdulillah…I dah pun selesai buat medical check-up pagi tadi. I sampai depan hospital Tawakkal lebih kurang jam 9.30 am.
Oh, mesti ada yg tanya, why I choose hospital Tawakkal yg sememangnya agak jauh dari umah I kat sungai nu kan. Okeh, FYI, utk medical check-up bg urusan work & resident visa to KSA nih, hanya ada beberapa hospital yg disenaraikan sahaja yg embassy luluskan. And kebanyakannya ialah KPJ Group punya hospitals.
I nih mula2 ingat nk buat kat KPJ Damansara Specialist, tapi disebabkan hari tu I ingat x dapat e-pin, so I buat la appointmen kt tawakkal. Sebab menurut Firestar, hospital lain mmg wajib ada e-pin, otherwise diorang xnak buat.
Okeh cerita masa check-up nih plak….kebanyakan test yg biasa dibuat masa medical kita nak masuk kerja, or masa masuk university tu lah : urine, x-ray, blood, physical etc etc lah. Tapi satu extra test yg I rasa amat jarang dilalui ialah : stool a.k.a air besar! Argghhhh… ini lah saat plg tension sepanjang2 I buat check-up hari nih. The lab astnt just bagi you sample bottle, then ko usahalah mcmana sekali pun, asalkan ada sample kat situ haa!
So pengajaran/peringatan utk sapa2 yg nak buat medcal check-up utk ke KSA nih, silalah makan banyak2 sehari sebelum anda membuat check-up, dan pastikan anda tidak “membuang” sebelum anda ke hospital! Hehehheehe…
So, result katanya akan siap dalam masa 3- 4 hari insya Allah…
Lain-lain info :
1. Fee utk package medical check-up for KSA : RM410
2. Kena bawak form (agen bagi) + gambar pasport
3. Kanak-kanak bawah 5 tahun TAK PERLU buat check-up nih.
4. Oh kena (WAJIB) ambik Meningtis injection, harga lain (additional) RM112.

E-PIN NUMBER
Actually hari tu I dah tanya, lambat ke proses nak dapatkan e-pin nih.puan Kamariah cakap “saya xnak janji. Takut nanti saya cakap 2 hari, tengok-tengok jadik seminggu ke. Sebab buat keja online ngan arab nih paham-paham je lah..”
Huhuhu…okeh…paham sgt puan…hehehhe..so I pun just put in mind, estimation dpt e-pin maybe dalam 5 hari gitu lah. And I pun buat appointment dgn Hospital Tawakkal, nak buat medical check-up on 23/7/10, WITHOUT e-pin.
(note : hanya sesetengah hospital sahaja yg mau buat check-up tanpa e-pin nih. Salah satunya Tawakkal. Itupun I takut2 ketaq gak mana tau kot2 doctor yg I nak jumpa tu jenis susah xleh tolak ansur ke hapa, naya jek pergi jauh2…)
Tetiba dapat plak sms e-pin hari nih. Happynyaa….Alhamdulillah..mudah jugak urusan kali nih. Lega sikit nak gi check-up esok. Kalau tidak, mau kena hipertensi esok nih.hehehhee..

KIRIMAN KEPADA AMET
Okeh, hari ni plak, tugasan I ialah menghantar birth certs + marriage certs ORIGINAL seperti yg dimintak oleh Saudi Kayan utk apply YellowSlip. Kat mana nak hantar tu? Okeh I kena hntar kat rumah Kak Latifa, yg husben dia keja kat sana jgk (sory, nama abg tu I lupa).and rumah dia is kat Bukit Antarabangsa, which I think the last time I pergi sana was emmm…maybe 7-8 tahun lepas kot? Hehehehe….
So apalagi, dalam ingat-ingat lupa tu I hentam jekla…Alhamdulillah..hentaman yg tepat! Hehehe..dalam sejam dh terpacak depan umah dia.
It was so-o-o nice to know Kak Latifa. A very motherly and cool lady. Dulu belajar oversea, dulu keja Petronas, but now surirumah fulltime since anak-anak stat sekolah, because her intention is to betul-betul jaga anak-anak dia, not just in academic, but in akhlak grooming as well. Isk isk…terharu….
And kak latifa and her family akan bertolak ke Jubail this Friday, means esok lusa dah. Bestnya! Diorang naik flight Qatar Airways sbb MAS dah sold out masa dia booking tu.
And she gave me lots of info and tips of going to Saudi. Thanks a lot kak!
1. Sebaik-baiknya beli lah tiket awal, plg lambat pun 2 bulan sebelum depart. Sebab takut price mahai. (huhuhu nampaknya I mmg last minute…)
2. Bulan Julai to September is peak season sebab cuti summer kt Saudi, so tiket might be a little bit pricey.
3. Selagi boleh sumbat or ada ruang kosong, bwk je la serba sikit pekakas dapur tu sbb sayang gak kalau semua nak beli sana. Betul jgk, nak duduk sekejap jek, membazir la plak semua nak beli baru.pastu nanti nk hangkut balik satu hal.klu bawak periuk yg buruk2 dari sini, tak le regret sgt nak tinggal kt sana, and balik sini beli baru! Heheheheh….Good idea huh!
4. Bawak sikit brg2 masakan yg sukar didapati/ ada tapi mahai kat sana. Contoh : serai, lengkuas, sos cili, milo etc. (Cik Nora yg keja Nestle, pas nih tolong jadik supplier Milo kat aku tiap2 bulan ek)
5. Dan mcm-mcm tips serba guna especially bila ada anak2 sekolah. Tapi yg ni I tak ambik port sgt sbb anak2 I kecik-kecik lagi hehehhe….

FROM THINKPLUS TO FIRESTAR
Today, I pergi Firestar and Pn.Kamariah mintak I isikan borang permohonan visa, borang medical check-up.
Dia jugak suruh I terus pergi buat medical check-up. I mean, buat appointment dululah, not pergi terus masa-masa tu jugak…hehehhe…and she suggest Tawakkal Hospital (banyak lagi list hospital lain yg involve, tp yg lain mcm byk songel skt).
E-pin? Ohhh…takpe takpe..itu x payah tunggu dapat dulu. Just pergi buat check-up, and bgtau jek hospital tu yg I will bring the e-pin masa I dtg ambik result nanti. So while she’s applying for the e-pin, I plak dh buat check-up and tunggu result. So both go concurrently. And bila dpt e-pin, result pun dh sama-sama ready. So fast n effective huh?
Then docs lain yg I submit masa kt Firestar ialah :
1. Original passport (me & anak-anak)
2. Original marriage cert
3. Photostat copy of birth certs (anak-anak)
4. Visa photos-background putih (me & anak-anak)
Oh selain tu, I jugak tanyakan procedure to bring my mother in-law (MIL) bersama-sama ke sana. But she will just need to apply for “Visiting Visa” and not “resident visa” mcm kami nih. And to apply for visit visa, Amet has to apply for “White Slip” plak kat Saudi Kayan.oooo…mcm tu ke…
VISIT VISA
Dokumen yg diperlukan
1. Original paspot
2. Visa photo (background putih)
3. White Slip (Amet has to apply at Saudi Kayan and send to Malaysia)
4. Photocopy of birth cert (Amet punya)
So itu sajalah. Oh tentang fee plak, you all bleh call dia utk quotation J
