SUNDAY 11th February 2007
i did a last minute packing..therefore i din sleep at all and i have to admit that the packing luggage is just an art that is troubling me so much..there are so many things that i wanna bring here but because of the stupid limitations of luggage that i can bring makes me throw away loads and loads of things..its just hard to decide what to bring and what not to bring..Joyce teman me as well..but in her house la..she thought of sending me at the airport buy i insisted NO! then she said wanna make me breakfast and bring over to my house..she told me to call her when im done(i didnt called her cause i just dun have the time so she slept..haha...thanks anyway)..so i packed the whole nite and get ready everything around 5.30am..took my shower and then went down to the entrance waiting for the arrival of my dad's driver...he promised me that he will be there 6am..but oppss...he isnt there..called daddy and ask him where is uncle dollah..10 minutes after that daddy said uncle dollah just woke up..and he is on his way now..he arrived around 7..i waited since 6..sigh...on my way to the airport..im felt like rididng a roller coaster..he drove up to 180km/h..imagaine that speed on a toyota alphard..omg..i reach there around 7.30 i think..Teong How called..i told him not to come cause nobody is coming..but there he was..thanks alot..he just drop by for awhile and teman me check in..cause he need to rush down to kl to attend his 9 oclcock class..my luggage over weight..no choice..so i paid rm301++..then went to mcdonald for a breakfast..Lai Kuan called...(thanks for waking up so early)..catching up for the last time with mummy and sis..no tears within us..we wish the best of luck to each other so i went down to the departure hall..chih yun called before i enter the gate(thanks alot)..i couldnt get the side seats so i can ony go for the middle one..my journey with MAS was a total disaster...i HATE MAS...food was bad..not comfy at all..and im not feeling well..7 hours journey on the plane is killing me..good thing i din go scotland...i reached Melbourne around 8.20 pm...waited for my luggage already took me duno how many minutes..when i settle everything its almost 9++ pm..took a cab outside the airport and headed to 570, Lygon Street..settled my registration at the reception and i went up to my apartment..it looks okay..but abit empty..the ony worst thing is there arent any pillow..where on earth am i suppose to get a pillow at 11pm...so i piled up my baju to make it as temporary pillow..good thing i brought a bedsheet along with me..no blanket?i use towel as my blanket..i had fever so i thought i'll just take panadol..but theres no water!went down to the reception to ask for convinience store..but he said its closed..WHAT!CLOSED?...there isnt any 24 hour shop nearby..good thing i saw a machine that sells mineral water..Thank God..that machine saved my life..i was too tired so i didnt unpack my stuff..went to bed straight..i wanted to on my laptop cause i need music to put me sleeping..guess what!the adapter that i bought is not correct though its written there for AUSTRALIA ONLY..what the hell??!!good thing ive got my MP3 with me..i coudlnt sleep..then i started to think how pathetic is my life here..I WANNA GO HOME!!!I DUN WANNA STUDY HERE!!EITHER I BALIK OR MUMMY AND SIS COME HERE!!...i cried for God Sake..haha..i even msg my sis and tell her this..she comforts me by telling me its just the first day and everything will be fine in a few days more..didnt think much after that and of course thanks to the panadol that put me in sleep very fast..
