We reach Canberra..



Assalamualaikum,
Well, As per title.. Alhamdulillah, We are officially in Canberra, Australia.
After quite a tiring journey with heavy bags (I had gone into great trouble trying to limit luggage but we end up with great heavy carry-on luggage that got us messy along the way - but still all in hand and we manage to get everything in control despite of some errors here and there.)

Here the time is GMT+10 and +1 H for daylight saving. So, currently it is 3H later than the time in Malaysia. So in the flight, we slept for few hours then its already bright and sunny outside when we reach Sydney. At Sydney Airport we went through a very long que of passport checking and quarantine for items that are declared. Thankfully, everything is cleared. Not as I imagined before, the checking of declared items are done simple. Everything with label may go through and laptops does not have to be switched on anyway.

So far Asyraf has been a very good boy. He like the weather I guess. He loves it back then when we put him in aircond room, so here it is like that without the aircond. He has not catch a cold either. So we were relieved for that.

Currently I am staying at Banksia Apartment -Adelong in Braddon. It is so cosy, just like home. I pretty much wish we will hit something like this when we get our home soon (the one to be rent). Well, this Saturday Kak Mizah n husband, Abg Abid will take us to go and inspect few houses. May Allah make it easy for us to grab a house.

We have already gone to Woolworth (K.Mizah and Abg Abid drive us there) to buy some food but still not enough since we did not buy any fish or meat. We ate fried rice a few time already. With egg. We also went to Asean grocery store where we find lots of chinese/malaysian spices and stuff. However, we still do need to make sure food there are halal or not before purchase since lots of chinese/thai food are also there.

Today we are going to Kmart. We would like to do more groceries for the week to come. I will be registreing at ANU this Monday. Hope everything goes well eventhough currently I have no idea yet of how to get to ANU. Huhu. InsyaAllah may Allah make everything at ease.

Well, till then, Wassalam

BTW, will upload videos as soon as we get good internet (unlimited one or close..currently we are limited to 2GB, so we are doing our best to maximize it..)

Love for Allah,
Amira.
