HELLO GUYS, hello from perth (:
i'm sorry i couldnt update everyone earlier.
so i'm going to say EVERYTHING that happened from the moment i stepped through the departure gates till tonight cos i already feel everyone is back in singapore and forgetting all about me:( haha kidding la.
anw, i thought my gate was c23, so i happily sat outside c23(thinking i was the earliest) and even msged mommy and daddy saying the gate wasn't open yet. i sat there for 10 min before this worker came to tell me they changed the gate. i was like, omg omg omg and i rushed to the other gate.
so i got to the correct gate, and they didnt let me through because i had too many hand luggages. grah. the airport staff threatened to charge me and all that nonsense and i was already pissed because one of my luggages had to be brought home because i was severely overweight. okay, so i was 12 kg overweight. if i had taken SQ i would have gotten through fine.
then up the plane i realised my hand luggage was too heavy and i couldnt lift it up to be stowed. i was blocking the entire passageway and the crowd was buildng up and i felt so paiseh then this father of the family behind me came to help me, but my luggage was too fat to squeeze inside and he then at looked at me and said "eh cannot leh" and i started panicking. thank God someone else came to the rescue and put it in another overhead compartment that was bigger.
then i realised i still had my guitar. great. and there was no(i seriously mean NO) cabin crew in sight so i had to carry my guitar all the way into the next cabin, get a cabin crew to help me store it. but because my bag and lappy were so damn bulky i left them on the seat unattended next to this old old man.
the cabin crew was vey reluctant to help me store my guitar, saying i had to pay for a seat to store large musical instruments. omg.
so after persuading her and what not, i went back to my seat(it was a window seat next to an old old man) and being the super freaked out and paranoid me i wore my sweater, covered my legs with the huge blanket and went to sleep.
the food sucked, and the flight did too.
service was horrendous. if not for the fact that SQ was full, i wouldn't have wanted to fly this.
the last time i flew SQ cabin crew offered to store my luggage in the overhead compartment for me because it was too heavy, and another one volunteered to store my guitar, which she held ready for me at the door when the plane landed.
see, this is good service.
so anyway, i landed early and declared my entire box of food(which got through, yay) and then went outside to wait for erica.
my son came to pick us up, then we dropped erica off at her new home and i went back to currie.
dinner at currie sucked, and erica tried to help me unload my boxes i left here.
but they were so heavy, and we couldnt find half my boxes that we were just nua-ing and blah-ing when bladders called. we had to make him come help us lol.
bladders came with the 2 med little boys an they carried everyone up to my new room for me then we followed them for dinner, round2.
oh, AND BUBBLE TEA!
:)
then joel drove erica and i back(but we couldnt decide where to stay) so the car kinda went back and forth currie and her place and bladders wanted to kill us for being so annoying lol.
we fell asleep in the car before finally deciding that erica would sleep on my currie floor. HAHA.
so we went to my room(which is really ulu cos NO ONE in my set is here at the moment) and slept. i was dead tired and dying and there are currently 3 luggages in my room and 4 boxes of stuff and the only thing i've unpacked are my books and my laptop(lol) so we both slept at 12 plus.
day2
then in the morning i woke up at 7(omg can u believe it) because the stupid crow?pigeon/bird/thingy was crowing so loudly like it once did.
had brekky and then went back to sleep till erica called me at 2pm. we went to the city to get domesticated stuff and i got a clothes rack.
my box of 40 plus hangers is MISSING currently, so i ended up buying another 20 hangers so i could get at least some clothes up.
we crashed bladders' house much to his horror. just to get a lan cable for me to go on internet. nua-ed there till my son dropped me off at currie and then erica came over again and we were supposed to walk to bladders' together but we nua-ed in my room till 12 where she was too lazy to go home so she slept over again.
day3.
but we ended up talking till 2am and that stupid girl did ALOT of stupid things that kept me from sleeping. and at 9am this morning the maintenance guy banged on my door and opened it. JUST LIKE THAT. with 2 girls asleep. he barged in on us and asked if we wanted my curtains fixed. we were groggy and pok and blur and just stared at him so he gave up. went away. lol.
erica and i were annoyed but couldnt sleep so we nua-ed till it was time for her to go home to change and then to qe11 for our intro talk for the 2nd years.
okay, so today wasn't so bad. our intro talk lasted 1 and a half hours, did admin stuff, paid our dental bond, got our optec groupings, got our timetable(i'm surprised they bothered to print it in colour for us haha), got our unit guidebooks and all that. had one and only one lecture since today we havent started our timetable.
i couldnt even open my eyes throughout the lecture on saliva, deglutition and vomitting. omg.
after the lecture we headed to my son's place where i found out that I LOST MY KEYCARD AGAIN. omg i almost died. so here i am, in my room without my keycard and i dont dare to get out because i dont wanna be locked out again and i seriously dont know how i lost it twice right under my eyes.
then i intended to sleep after coming back but dinner is going to be soon i should just give up trying to sleep.
plus my room is not unpacked.
and half my stuff are still in my b400s room. SIGH.
so this is my life in aussie since i landed.
wifey i'm sorry i havent been able to email cos of the stupid lan cable thing and i will get a phone card and all soon to call okay.
seriously, i just want to sleep and sleep.
there's anatomy tomorrow, immunology and microbiology, and then anatomy lab. BOO.
there goes my life.
