after 20 hrs of straight traveling...im HOME! :D
got in the taxi to the city at 2.30, arrived at southern cross station ard 3am and had to wait with weirdos (one of them was this woman who was infatuated with this guy, gordan who played cards by himself. she kept on going "hi gordan" "what are u doing, gordan" "where do u live, gordan" etc.) at the indoor waiting area for an hr till we decided that it was too dodgy and moved to the outdoor waiting areas next to the bus bays. waited another 15 mins before the shuttle to the avalon airport arrived.
journey to the airport took bout 45+ mins...couldnt sleep till the last 5 n was woken up by the terlalu happy bus driver announcing in his cheery voice that we're at the airport and that if u JUST found out that u were supposed to be in the other airport (tullamarine) n not avalon, u can catch another bus back but it will cost u ur balls or sth along those lines (i was too tired to remember exactly).
avalon airport has a grand total of T-W-O boarding gates. im scared to think of when i have to go back to melb and having to land there in the middle of no where. at least ive someone to pick me up :) thank god. seriously. thank u. anyway, we waited another half an hr at the airport b4 we could board the plane...and when we could board the plane it was through the wind n rain. lovely i tell u. my toes were alrdy freezing off without the rain. but im being to melodramatic since we only had to wait outside no more than 10 mins.
plane ride there was awesome possum. there was this dood who sat besides me across the aisle that breathes like darth vader and thus prevented me frm falling asleep for the first half of the journey. the 2nd half i think he got enough air and so stopped his huffing n puffing. but i again couldnt sleep till the last 10 mins n was rudely jolted awake along with may by the less than perfect landing in sydney.
picture of the sunrise taken by bunny on the plane ride frm melb to syd.
dragging our luggage from the domestic to international terminal in sydney was such fun. especially pulling it in n out of lifts and trains (that cost $5 for a less than 3 min journey). before, while we were at the baggage claim section, may got bumped into by this idiot that just looked at her n walked away without saying sorry. of corse we cooked up evil plans to do the same to him but that dumb fek got away too fast. probably felt the im-gonna-get-revenge vibes exuding frm may. heh.
at the international terminal of the sydney airport, we spent bout 15 mins looking for a table where we could sit n rest n have breakfast since it was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO bloody crowded. had to bring our huge luggage along on a trolley as well cause check in wasnt open yet. got a table after some super fast table claiming skills by bunny and had krispy kreme. 2 donuts each. damn healthy i know. aha.
checked in after breakfast, saw an old classmate in the line...spoke to him for a while. then moved to the waiting lounge n had a much needed nap after deciding that there really were no free wireless hotspots ard. damn them. haha. boarded the plane ard 11.50am.
first 3 hrs of the ride was feking uncomfortable. i woke up after what felt like only 20 mins of sleep n asked bunny how long more to go. she said she had no idea so we watched the screen hanging frm the ceiling and that told us only 3 hrs had passed n there were still another 5 to go. that was when we went slightly hysterical..."i cant take it anymore" mode. luckily before we could go berserk we found out that the sides of the chair's headrest could be raised so we had a pseudo-guy's-shoulder to lean on while we tried to sleep. if it wasnt for that, id not have been a happy person when i landed in msia.
18 hrs of traveling later, we LANDED. first step out of the plane confirmed i was home. breathed in warm air choke full of moisture it was suffocating. then may was like "IM SWEATING, I CANT BELIEVE IM HAPPY TO BE SWEATING'. totally got what she meant. hahahahhahaha. went toilet, got alco, waited 30 mins for our baggage (stupid ppl so slow). and finally saw our families n went home.
got home at 9 sth. played with ky. missed ky. ky missed me too. LOL. glad he didnt forget me though i know thats very unlikely. haha. gonna take a walk with him tonight ;) i know i sound like im talking about a guy but then technically he IS one. HAHHAHAHAHA.
didnt bother unpacking (till now my bag is just sitting there after giving my family their gifts). just had dinner (ah the joys of home cooked meals), talked a while n came online. had happy time till 1.30am then showered, hung with sis alone downstairs while everyone else slept, and fell asleep ard 4.30am. woke up 12 hrs later. 12 hrs of uninterrupted beauty sleep. twas one of the best sleeps of my life :D
now to watch some tv. YAY!
