Yup.. that was the day i left for perth. The crowd that sent me off was bigger than what i had expected. My family members, extended family, sec sch and JC friends. And erm..2 of my JC classmates' boyfriends. haha.. well.. that was weird but hey! That made the group even bigger. hehe..

i'm glad i had the chance to hug almost everyone. i didn't have the opportunity to hug my sis when i sent her off the last=( A CERTAIN SOMEONE also said he wanted to give me my hug and kiss but he was not amongst those i've hugged. Hmph!! haha.. just kidding lar.. anywayz, that was a joke to start with.

You should have seen everyone's faces after i entered the departure gate. So sad la.. i didn't get to see cos' i was struggling with my stuff and also cos' i didn't want to look back lest i break down. i had underestimated the load i had to hand-carry. Damn heavy ah!! my arms were already aching so badly when i had to lunge all my things to the waiting area. my mum told me to leave my farewell gifts behind but i didn't want to. they're all nice gifts!!! how could i bear to leave it at home to rot and let it wait for my return?? But thanx alot guys.. i luv all of them to bits! oh.. and i had a screw-up even when i was leaving. as if leaving wasn't bad enough..

So sorry guys.. i feel so bad for not being able to eat the cake ur bought me ah!! i only took one teeny tiny bite somemore. Should have taken a enormous bite then! haiz..

1st screw-up : i was asked by security to remove the scissors in my pencil case after they scanned my things. so malu can.. i had to come out of the departure gate again to pass the scissors to my mum. i totally forgot we aren't allowed to hand-carry sharp items! my mind was just focused on packing all the stuff i need for my stay in perth. so paiseh lor.. i didn't even dare to look at all their faces.

2nd screw-up : i shldn't have put a padlock on da computer bag. How stupid of me! It had me searching for my key in my wallet which was somewhere in my bagpack because the laptop had to be taken out of the bag. Plus i had to remove my mp3 and handphone too.. i think there was a long queue behind me. then again, i didn't want to see how long was it. later pple curse me more! LOL..

3rd screw-up : wait..that wasn't my screw-up, it was the steward's. he didn't give me my lunch!!! guess it was because he was really tall and i was short and small. i don't blame him for not seeing me when his head was nearly touching the top of the plane! i'm not kidding.. who ask me to be so short?? Haha..anyway, i was not in the mood for lunch either, so i didn't bother to ask them for it. But i got hungry at about 1. Lucky they served ice cream. my life-saver!! i needed energy for the 2nd part of my journey. if not i think i'd just collapse halfway. it was that bad..heyz..my luggage was 25.5kg ok. and i had to carry it off da belt and onto the trolley. and onto the scanner!!! i wished i could just die then..where are guys when u need them huh?

4th screw-up : i went to the line for australian passport holders. how blur can i get?? well.. i guess i wasn't in the right state of mind after so many INTERESTING things happened to me. only realised last minute that i was in the wrong line when i noticed all the pple in my line were carrying blue passports. i thought i was supposed to go to that line cos' i was a PR. In the end, i crossed over to the other side and the queue was super long!! mmm..blur means blur la! lyk SOMEONE alwaes says i am.. i don't think i can ever correct this part of me ba..if i did, i wldn't be the same person. u guys wldn't want that right? =P

i came out of the arrival gate just to receive a scolding from my sister for taking so long inside..lyk c'mon.. i was lost enough already. But seeing her physically was all worth it..she's fairer now.. *snigger* she doesn't like it when i say that of her. wahahaha!!! And i experienced the cold air there for the 1st time when i exited the airport. phew.. refreshing.. but it wldn't be for the next few days. i was practically suffering..
