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...
