Ingat tak my cerita pasal airport transfer dulu? Hmm...tu back up plan la kalau student Malaysia tak sana tak free ke nak amikkan we all kat airport, or ada any hiccups ke ape ke. Tapi tu la...Allah SWT nak permudahkan semlm, we received a whatsapp msg from the person in charge over there that there will be someone yang free, boleh tolong pick us up at the airport. Syukur Alhamdulillah.
GBP80 mereka charge. Hmm...ok la, for an MPV Renault. Bersyukur seadanya. Kalau guna Chauffeur from Manchester Airport, I dah estimate kat website dia semlm, kami kena charge GBP128 la lebih kurang. Oh well, penjimatan GBP50 tu besar maknanya. Boleh penuh tray kat Tesco dengan barang2 dapur tau. Syukur syukur.
Update on 30.08.2016 - menurut kata the person in-charge, selepas diorang dah check details semua balik, rupanya kereta orang yang nak amik tu mcm tak muat pulak with the number of bags that we are bringing. Hmm...takpela. Bersangka baik jela. Dia ada suggest Sheffield punya airport transfer, tengok kat website, ikut no of pax. Basically 5-7 pax = GBP90. Private taxi from airport pun GBP139+. Eh, mcm guna Chauffeur lagi murah je. Entah la. Tengok la dulu.
Pastu, I asked about broadband from the main person in charge tu. Ok ke kalau nak book from here pastu, by the time we all sampai nanti, dorang dah boleh dtg terus install. Kat sana, amik masa jugak nak install broadband. Sampai 2-3 weeks kadang. Kesian la hubby and anak2. Internet takde, tv xde. Kang nak settle stuffs pun byk buat online. If takde, memang leceh la. Macam rermai orang lain, pergi sana baru nak uruskan semua ni. For me, semua ni kena sedia dulu before sampai sana. *kiasu* hahahaha...whatever~! Asalkan segalanya selesa dan baik utk my family, then it is good enough.
Broadband kat sana - what they need:
1) Address rumah - alhamdulillah, tenancy agreement dah siap. Haaa...ni la benefit nye bila tenancy agreement dah siap. Boleh buat macam2. Nak register sekolah anak ke, broadband ke. activities ke, semua nak address rumah. Pastu, boleh jugak guna address rumah utk check connection kat tempat tiinggal kita. Whether service provider ni cover ke tak area tu? Kalau yes, apa je service yang boleh di offer to us, for that area? So, yes I'm glad that I took the action to search for the house first. And of course la, call students Malaysia kat sana. Call, talk, discuss, ask many many many questions and get the detailed answer.
2) Hp no kat sana - boleh guna my sis punya yang kat Scotland.
3) Bank acc kat sana - boleh guna my sis punya. Later baru kita tukar semua ni. Diorang ni, kat UK, byk mende yang memerlukan acc bank sebab bills semuanya guna direct debit. Sebab tu dia perlukan bank acc no kita.
So, today nak firm up kan which service provider that we wanna choose. Oh yea, lepas borak-borak dengan the person in charge kat Sheffield tu, skali dia tanya....u all dah ada tv ke? Sebab dia ada tv 32 inch yang belum bukak from box. Entah pasal apa la reason dia beli, malas nak tanya. Tanak create situation yang tak best pulak. Perhaps he has his own valid reasons to it. Anyway, we negotiated, we got it for GBP160 32 inch LED TV brand LG. Alhamdulillah. So, segalanya dah settle. Rumah host kat sana pun dia dah tolong arrangekan, ala...nak duduk beberapa jam je sebelum office agent tu bukak, for key collection. :)
Update on 30.08.2016 - TV tu, Mr P kata mcm kecik sangat pulak. He wanted a slightly bigger tv. Macam-macam... :) Tengok la cemana. Nanti baru nak decide. Pastu, pasal host, we all ni ada la berkenalan dgn student yang akan join MBA class skali. Terlupa pulak yang dia dah ada di sana. Hahahhaha...so, she offered us to stay at her house. Siap she said, insyaaAllah if dia jadi beli kereta etc, then boleh la husband dia teman pergi amikkan kunci. Alhamdulillah.
Thank you Allah SWT kerana mempermudahkan segala urusan kami.
