OZ Trip 2009
Departure on Jan 3 from Singapore
My parents even took the time to send me off, just in case my luggage was over stuffed and they have to take it home. The funny thing is that I sent them off to the sky train place first (it’s a bit confusing though with all the signs) before getting to the Departure gate myself.
Changi Airport is still all about the Xmas mood at that time.
I’m so tempted to get this Absolute Vodka.
Qantas Flight experience
Surviving the 7 hour flight was a tedious task by itself. Partly, it was raining (so the plane was in constant turbulence, I hardly can catch any sleep) and hence it’s very cold. I only brought my beloved Adidas jacket and it’s wasn’t enough to provide any much needed warmth.
By the time I requested another blanket, it was too late. I already caught a cold. I think my sneezes had brought a lot of grunts and looks from other passengers on board. Lol
Arrival on Jan 4 6 a.m. at Brisbane International Airport
Clearing the customs was another tedious task too. I almost ticked every box for every type of items that needs to be declared. The customs officer immediately shoved me to the ‘Long List’ queue after seeing my arrival card. Lol
After the flight, I need to take an Airbus to the city to catch another 3 hour bus (something like our Grassland bus). The bus got delayed by an hour. I was so bushed that I dozed off while waiting for the bus. By the time Gavin picked me up, I almost looked like a zombie. (Luckily I wore my big sunglasses and perked my face up with lip gloss and powder…The magic of makeup!) It was another hour’s drive to his house from the bus station. Gosh.
Gruelling. Almost 15 hours to get to see him.
