Welcome to my new blog.
It has been a long time since I created my first blog.
July 8th, 2011
I left home to further my study. I felt that I am not well-prepared. For the first time, I saw tears in my dad's eyes. I didn't cry in front of everyone, as I want them to be happy for me.
I felt heavy upon leaving.. It's not just the luggage heavy, my Heart feels heavy..
Thank you for my dear friends who came and who wanted to come (due to personal stuff couldn't come) to the airport to farewell with me. Thanks to my aunt and cousin who came too.
Once I got through the Immigration Check and went into the lounge... Tears started to roll out from my eyes.Everyone around was looking at me... So embarrassing... I started to miss home.. The flight delayed from 3.05pm to 3.30pm.. In the flight, I tried to sleep, but I couldn't. So I just flip the magazines around.
Reached in LCCT by around 5.30pm. I alone walking around the airport for a place to charge my mobile phone. In the end, went to Coffee Bean, ordered Hot Chocolate and sat down to charge my phone and started to go online. Battery was almost low. So I switched off my labtop, and hopefully my phone is fully charged. Then I walked around again. Searching for a place where I can put my luggage trolley with me while I had my dinner.
So I ate Roasted Chicken Rice. Met someone from Labuan. Had a very nice talk with her. And she helped me to pass my time. When she needed to go for boarding, it's time for me to CHECK-IN. There's a lot of people queuing for check-in. Afraid that the person would not let my luggage to pass through as my luggage is slightly overweight. But I guess I am lucky, she didn't care about it. After check-in, it's time for boarding. I actually got lost of my way for boardings. Then my brother called. And I found my way in. They used the manual way to check my luggage's weight. It was slightly more. But I got through. =)
When I went in, I walked around to the boarding lounge. It's at the most end. I walked around for water, ear plugs and something for me to bite while waiting for the plane. Walked around. Called my parents & my foster parents. Then, my cousin XY called. To pass my time. There's a lot of English people waiting at the lounge too. I mentioned them as English people because I was not sure about their nationality. There was a guy playing guitar at the lounge before he board on his plane.
Time actually pass very slowly because I was alone and got nothing to do. I messaged my parents telling them "I love them". My dad replied me. I felt like crying that time, but there were so many people there, so I'll just wait until I got onto the plane. It was really heavy and tired.
After board onto the plane, I fall asleep very quickly before the plane actually flew. Fall asleep all the way and woke up by 3am in the morning feeling hungry. Forgotten to mention what was my flight departed from LCCT. It was 11.50pm... which was pretty late. Ok, back to feeling hungry, so I bought a cup of Milo and had Pizza. After finished with the food, I fall asleep again. Imagine how tired was I.
Around 5am, almost arrive. 5.30am landed at Perth International Hospital. It took me 30 minutes to go through the Immigration Check and Declaration. My brother said that was very fast. Maybe I was just lucky. Because those travelled in groups were still buying stuff from the Free Duty Area.
So once I was outside, I saw no one. My brothers were not there yet. Just because I forgotten to call them first place when I was out of the plane. So I had to wait for them. We went to my 2nd brother's apartment, refreshed myself, and I took a nap before the new landlord came. I had to meet him as I am going to stay in his apartment too. So we signed the documents and took the keys. And new apartment.
There's a lot new stuff I will need to learn. New cultures I need to know. and get used with speaking my non-common language. Stay tune for my next post with my first day, first week, 2nd week of my stay in Perth Australia and my 1st week of uni.
Good day.
