The adventure started on 2nd of May, Friday.. headed down to the airport with mom n dad at ard 6pm.. first time travelling alone!! excited, nervous, worried, blah blah.. had dinner at the airport after checking in.. and at 8pm, time to proceed for boarding.. was at the gates when i had to part with my mom n dad.. gave them a hug each, and thou its jus for like 10 days, my tears was almost gona fall.. when he hugged me and patted lightly on my head, tt moment... even now as i think back it still touches my heart.. haha.. okays.. maybe i'm too EMO already..
so went on after the customs and walked a long long way to my boarding gate.. T3 is jus damn BIG lor!! haha.. and really nice too.. everywhere is like so posh, even if its jus the economy class.. alone alone.. everywhere i go i'm alone.. its a different experience.. always was with my family when travelling overseas.. for a moment i tot, y din i ask someone to come along with me? but den again.. i was being stubborn and din want anyone to follow anyway.. haha..
6 1/2 hrs of flight.. at first was said to be 8 hrs, probably the pilot was too good with his skills he jus needed tt amt of time to fly to brisbane.. haha.. but really.. the whole journey was good.. i remembered i always have this fear when the plane takes off and during landing.. the funny feeling like smth's sucking u down to the ground.. haha.. but there wasn't any of such feeling this time round.. [erm.. only this flight. the one i returned frm Briabane had tt same funny feeling too..]
So, arrived at Brisbane International Airport at 0545hrs[aussie time] 3rd may.. abt an hour earlier frm the expected time.. went thru customs real smoothly.. took less than 5 mins to go thru the checking thing.. surpirsed cos joy said it'll usually take abt an hour cos they really check like every inch of ur luggage.. haha went out to the arrival hall and got a shock of my life!! the airport is REALLY SMALL!!!!! hahaha.. its supposed to be an international airport lor! its like u can see frm one end to the other easily.. no wonder Changi Airport always gets first in the ratings.. haa! walked a few steps to the airtrain counter, supposed to buy my train tickets but the counter was closed.. then there's this sign tt says approach the customer service counter at this level for enquiries.. i looked around the whole level and its either the counter is transparent or i'm jus blind.. walked ard for like 10 mins and suddenly, i saw the Airtrain sign!! haha.. but its at the 3rd level.. so i pulled the super heavy luggage[my leg kept trapping the wheels i dunno y..] and made my way up.. bought the ticket and waited for my train to arrive.. at 0700hrs, the train arrived and, it looked like our MRT! haha.. i stood at the platform waiting for it to stop and den, the door never opened! i tot probably the door was spoilt or smth so i rushed to the next opened door and went in.. afterwhich i realised, there's this button u need to press for the door to open.. haha!
arrived at Helensvale at ard 0830hrs, had to take another bus before i reach joy's place.. finally reached her place at coming 0930hrs, put my luggage at her hse and we headed to the Carrara Markets soon after.. on the way to the markets joy lost her favourite cardigan.. like so spoil our mood liddat.. haha.. so i told her kt bought her another cardigan le so its ok if she loses tt.. haha.. so not good at cheering ppl up eh? tts me lah.. haha.. walked ard the markets, had my brunch and continued walking abit.. bought my 'xiao huang xie'.. haha.. then after we went to Pacific fair shopping centre.. their shopping centres are more like our shop houses.. jus minus the house part.. haha.. all so short short de.. was really tired frm the long journey there and din really have the mood to shop.. haha.. so we bought some groceries and went back home to cook our first dinner!
its really funny how someone who doesn't cook at home cooks when she's all the way in Aussie land.. haha! i jus pictured how mommy always cook and the things she said when i always kpo while she cooks.. so we had stir fried cabbage with mushrooms, black sauce chicken breasts, and we even got soup! haha.. sumptuous meal we had.. den after we jus lazed ard, watch some tv and went to sleep.. haha.. tts abt it for Day 1.. long day huh.. :)
