I'm in Auckland! If you didn't already know =P The flight was a wee bit scary because the plane weaved from side to side a little during take off and dipped quite a bit during the descent for landing. It was about 10hrs and since I've taken ktms to Singapore from KL it doesn't seem like a very long time. And contrary to me being fidgety, I can actually sit in a chair for long periods of time without getting out of it.
I'm getting ahead of myself.
The airport bit was stressful because the counter people were very strict with the weight limitation. 30kg... I was 6kg overweight at first. Took out some stuff and we were 1.8kg overweight. The man behind the counter was not only very brisk and short with us but he was also quite rude. It's not as if I don't understand him. B-lardy hell. So I ended up checking in later and getting a middle seat... the nice lady let me through with 1.1kg overweight. Sheesh... and she told me that I was passenger 198... yep... so that's that.
I ended up sitting among a group of Dutch tourists. I had a laptop, a very heavy and full backpack and one draggy luggage thingy. I didn't weigh them but they must've been close to 25kg altogether. Crazy carrying them I tell you. Sure sweat and sure muscle ache. Stress when putting everything in the overhead compartment because I was afraid of dropping it on some poor fella's head. I kept apologizing and excuse me-ing because it seemed like I was in everyone's way. haha! And one should declare ivory. It's an animal stuff it says on the arrival card. The arrival card is also in colour... haha... unnecessary =P
It also says to declare objectionable (indecent) articles - why can't they just write pornography?
All through the flight I had bouts of teariness and bouts of being extremely sad. I still don't quite know exactly what I was sad about because at the moment I'm fine. All I know was that I was watching 'The Last Kiss' (new movie with the guy from Scrubs in it) and suddenly I am overwhelmed with the blues. No bawling, of course, there were too many strangers with strange tongues around. The movie's pretty good though. You know what's another good movie? High Fidelity.
Detached sentences. I think I'm still a little woozy from being on the plane for so long.
I couldn't sleep so I had 2 glasses of white wine. It was actually quite good. Slept for a bit after that then suddenly we here. Amazing this thing called air travel.
Some pictures =)
Arrival Hall - We waited around quite long for Man Keat who got searched =(
This is the airport =)
The whole bunch of us pushing our carts to the bus
Timothy in front of the bus - people always stop for zebra crossings here =)
Must mengada and take photo at every chance you get k? We're young and wrinkle-free only once =) (unless you pay for a face-lift=P)
In ze bus
I must take one of myself obviously =P
This is my room at the moment. I twin-share but I don't have a room-mate at the moment so I've got a big room all to myself =P
This is the other side of the room where I put my laptop and where the window is
And this is what's outside my window =)
The weather's kinda nice when it's windy. It's like being in an air-con place all the time. I guess like Genting lah. Not super cold when windy. But without the wind the hot's about the same as KL. Haha! So yep, shorts and spaghetti straps for me!
I'm off to bed. My head's doing funny woozy swirls while I type this sentence. Missing everyone loads!! =)
