On this day, I was fated to board the plane that will lead me to Melbourne, Australia which is situated south east of Malaysia. I was bursting with much enthusiasm and nervousness. I was enthusiastic as I finally get to go to Melbourne and explore its beauty. I was nervous, because like every first-time-travelling-alone people, I was nervous I get into the wrong plane or anything! But luckily I didn't. Mainly it was because my sister's friend, Janice, is travelling with me in the same plane, though not sitting together =D
Me and mum went to Kuala Lumpur at 9am in the morning on that day along with my parents' friend who was also travelling there with his family as he wanted to drop his son off at Taylors Lakeside Campus (do note that I am telling this with much envy, jealousy, as well as admiration as I wanted to study ever since I first stepped foot there, but due to some circumstances I can't ><). Anyway, he dropped us at Sunway Pyramid where me and my mum waited for my uncle to pick us up to go to my aunt's house. I can just say that I took a nap in that amazingly-not hot weather after having lunch and having an informal lesson on China's history and woke up in sweat.
Later, we went to 1U to pick up our dinner and also to buy some buns for me to eat on the plane. We had a quick but delicious dinner, which included rice, vegetables, pork and tofu =D I went to bathe later to get rid of that already-dried-up-but-still-reproducing-some-more sweat. After that, I double checked my important stuff, such as passport and such. When I was finally done, I went downstairs to wait for others to get ready. My cousin chose this time to come back along with her newly bought iPad, and so, being the typical suagu me, I requested for her to let me use it. I can just say that, to those who are just so touch screen maniac, you would love to have an iPad of your own, or not an iPhone! But being just a beginner, I could live without those! =D
So, after delaying for a few minutes, the whole gang which included me (of course), mum, aunt, uncle and cousin finally head off to LCCT. Along the way, mum talked about how useful iPhone is with my cousin, she even tell her how to download stuff and all. Shocking!! xD But then, mum admitted that she discovered lots of stuff by mistake. hahahaa!!!
When we finally reached the airport, I straightaway went to check in my flight, as I was checking in, my mum talked to Janice and telling her all those what mums will say when their daughters will be travelling along with someone they will know. Later we settled down at The Chocolate Lounge where I had a very nice yet super expensive chocolate drink, it cost us RM14.90. hmm...
I finally went to check in later with Janice, I seemed a little sad that time and I do not know why! When we were lining up to board the plane, we spotted a very nice looking ang moh xD I mean, we are girls and nothing can change the fact that 99.99% girls like to look at handsome guys, am I right? =)) Well, all in all, the whole journey was 99% uncomfortable. Why?? Because...
(I will list out both good and bad things, but as you read, you will find out that they are mainly bad things)
1) When we were about to take off as scheduled, 10.30pm, the pilot announced that a stupid plane was blocking the way, so the flight was delayed for 45 minutes.
2) I was sitting in the centre row, I was sitting at the right side, centre remained empty while on the left side, sat a big sized woman! She practically sat on two seats, I am serious!!!!
3) Since it was a night flight, we were supposed to sleep in the plane. I didn't get to really sleep, and only a 15 minute snooze on and off! If the woman there did not occupy 2 seats, I would take the handrest up and lie on the 2 seats! As I was struggling to find a comfortable position, my whole body feels so........ stiff and painful. Aikz~ So at 4am, I finally stopped trying to sleep. Instead, I started observing how the ang mohs sleep. Mereka ni, banyak pattern bila tidur. haha! Super funny!! (I would like to thank mum for changing my seat, because the section I was in was practically filled with ang mohs! xD)
4) The stupid toilet== I asked a lady on how to flush. So I managed to flush the toilet properly without setting the siren off after many failed attempts of pushing the flush button. Later, I stood there stunned, as I do not have an amoeba-sized idea on how to use the tap! After experimenting with the two taps there, suddenly a blob of fragrant liquid dropped to my hand, after further investigation, I realised that it was soap. Okay then, I was in deep shit trouble as how am I going to wash it off when I do not know how to work the freaking tap?! But then, THANKFULLY, I successfully turned it on as I found out how to use it by accident xD
5) When we were reaching, the pilot made an important announcement, THE AIRPORT AT MELBOURNE IS CONGESTED SO WE MAY NEED TO WAIT FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES. Well guess what? We were circulating the air for 1 hour! As we were circulation the air, I looked in front and saw an interesting scenario. A passenger was asking this air stewardess on what is delaying our touch down. It looked as if the guy was trying to persuade her to kiss him and she was backing off. Yes, I know I have a very vivid imagination =D I just hope that there were no more delays, but the question is, is there?
6) Well, the answer is YES! When we finally landed, another announcement was made. A plane was blocking our way, so we need to wait again== How many delays that I had already experienced in just one trip?! 3! ><
Later, me and Janice went to meet up with her boyfriend at Southern Cross using the Skybus from the airport and us 3 (yes, including me the person that is way brighter than that massive fire ball in the centre of the universe) went for a walk and for lunch (Japanese food =D) after dumping our bags at his apartment for the time being, well at least this applied to me. So at about 3pm, we finally went to Caufield as to let me rest before going out for dinner with them later at night. Can I just say that the weather in Australia is simply pleasant? Its like being in a refrigerator! At night, we went for some Korean food and later to a show, Just Go With It. The cinema is completely stunning. The room is just too big! There were curtains covering the screen and when the show stars the curtains will move apart, it was just like being in a concert! How cool is that? Anyway, the show was just hilariously stupid xD So after all that, we went back home and sleep.
The next day, we woke up late. hehe!! We had brunch, and set off to my sister's uni, Monash University, as my sister was attending lectures, I was at the computer room using her laptop! After her lectures, we went for Chinese food =D and then went to do some mini grocery shopping, which will be continued tomorrow xD We went back home, as I was still hungry, I ate maggi that was in a cup, later made myself a huge cup of milo and ate biscuits and cereal with it xD But now, my mouth is still craving for food. HOW?! haha! better head off to bed then~ as it is now 12am here and I am sleepy now @@
I know there aren't any pictures as I hardly take, I beg for forgiveness about that though =D
Before I sleep, I would like to emphasize, and I really mean to EMPHASIZE, that I just simply love the weather here even though I been here for 2 days only <3
Night =D
