Finally...

Finally I get to update my blog...
First... I got to the airport and my baggage is 3kgs overweight... Unloaded coffee and I was alright already... When my silkair flight arrived at penang airport... Mark Lee and Brother Hui (yes... from the comedy movie that went 'ah hui... lee jiak pah boay?...') got off the plane... I was so stunned I didn't take a photo of them... The flight to Singapore was uneventful and I arrived in Singapore and checked out... Boy there were so many tourist who were checking out as well zzz... found mum and went to eat dinner with her... Before I got off to my historical flight on the A-380 mum was going around buying duty free alcohol... When I got into the waiting area there was like around hundreds of people around... sigh and the lady said i had to check in my trolley bag cuz it was so bulky and heavy. I panicked and finally calmed down when they said it was for free... whew... I got lucky and sat on the upper deck. The flight was long and bumpy (I wonder how such a big plane stand up to so much shaking) and the meals were pretty nice. When I got off the plane it was just so alien to me... I got to the customs counter and gave my passport and after some short and friendly exchanges with the kind lady I got on my way to collect my baggage. Wa lao... same situation as the waiting area as there were a whole mountain of people around collecting bags. I finally went to take my bags after half an hour of waiting. I queued up and went through customs check... and in Tullamarine airport they really have a CUSTOM checkpoint... I was lucky I only had to open my samsonite and show her some simple herbal chicken that I didn't even want to bring zzz... When exiting the customs to the arrival hall I could not but notice that arriving passengers only see the outside when they get to the big metal gates... Tullamarine to me feels like a dungeon some how like this... Got outside and found that the airport is pretty small. Waited for over an hour and a half for mum and she finally arrived... After another 15-20 mins of seeking and walking we finally found brother and lao 5 sim... The moment I got into the car... JETLAG struck. I was half awake n half asleep on the way to Glen Waverley and the roads seemed never ending... When I arrived I thought I arrived in wonderland. The houses, roads, lawns and surroundings seemed picturesque, as if I were in my retirement home or something. The day went on very half consciously for me and I signed up for an account in the Commonwealth bank (because brother said it's easier to find on Australian streets and in cities... I tried to sign up for my phone but I had to wait until the next day... I got myself a HTC Legend instead of an iPhone 4 because the package was cheaper. In the end I was having a shortage of short pants (jeans were really driving me mad) so we went shopping for some. I will continue on next time if I find the time... this post has gotten terribly long...

Must Pray pray...

Yesterday had a stupid farewell lunch that I didn't know it was for me, felt like an extra person there on the table because of one simple thing. People who were suppose to come didn't come, and yet one bugger came though not on the invitation list. My blood nearly boiled hotter than the grill used to cook my London Grill... worse is that the free flow ice cream felt like shit in consistency though the taste was alright...

Later went to Kek Lok Si in order to go see the night lights and also pray...
Firstly we went to write ribbons for my family members... wrote 12 ribbons for my father, mother, 2 brothers and sis-in-law, mother's father, father's mother, uncle and ME la!(Boh Koh Leng I din write for myself write... I am not so selfless...) Then the problem rose... HOW TO HANG THE RIBBON ON THE TOP BRANCH?? Lee also not tall enough... then I hugged CS up to hang his ribbons (duh he's light as a stick, no sweat!)... Then ask Lee to carry me... What the... hug me up from the wrong part... Lee... WHY YOU HUG ME AROUND MY KNEE?? Haiz... epic centre of gravity phail... what happened? Just like being hit with a HE missile I collapsed like a tower... (I do not blame Lee for this mishap, since I requested that he try to hug me up) In the end hugged CS up again to hang my ribbons... lalala....
Besides writing ribbons I also donated TWICE to write on the temple roof tiles to represent for my family (my mother later criticized me for not writing my father's mandarin name, plz la I can't even write my second brother's mandarin name)

Next we posed to take photos with our separate zodiacs... CS took with the Snake, Lee and Hui took with the Horse and of course I took with the Ram... (To those peeps who still think I am born in 1990, screw you, I am born in 1991) I later on went to buy fans cuz I was feeling retro somehow... and also have the scholar look LOL... Besides the bigger paper one I also bought 3 smaller wooden ones for rm5 (Daiso sell 1 for rm5...and I am a cheap guy) for my brother's upcoming wedding... count yourselves lucky bridesmaids and best men...

Later we took more photos and walked down to the lower part of the temple... nth much here... except more ppl and cars... PAGODA entrance fee RM2 per person? NO THANKS! Later walked back up to the Guan Yin statue and it made me think twice about my policy of 'not stopping' when walking... The hill was just so steep! And cars were streaming by all the time...

Finally... Dinner at LK restaurant... the mega sized orange juice is a welcomed relief... After that... complain to each other about certain dumb individuals... Then we went home la...

Mother ask me test my jeans before I go to Australia (yes half a year of holiday has widened my waistline) and I found a 50cent size bruise on my right thigh... Haiz... Take Zam-Bak and message the wound... morning wake up the spot got blacker... oh well...

Shopping spree...

No choice ah... The hostel I stay dun provide alot of things so I gotta bring my things over there by myself... This was my rough shopping list:

Knife
Knife Sharpening Stone (I personally like using the sharpening stone and not any others because they have no feel to it)
Mattress Protector
Bedsheet
Clothes Hanger
Sanitory liquids and basket (yes i need to bring my shampoo and facial wash n stuff)
Clothes
Jacket
MP-190 Printer ink

So far is like that la... These are just the 'Bought' stuff, not to be confused with the 'Already have' stuff...

Many people like to ask when my flight is... I dun want to tell. Why?
Simple reason, Yasi has moved into Victoria and might threaten Tullamarine Airport, the last thing I want is a flooded Penang International Airport which delays my transit to some other day.
