Hello from Sunny Sydney!
The weather today is really fine and warm, a really good weather to go to the beach... So get on your boardies or swim suit peps and lets head on down to Bondi.. hahaha
Ok, So yes, I've arrived a Down Under just about 4 hours ago. Havent down much but will intend to do some cool stuff before school starts...
Here is a brief "preview" of my MH123 flight to Sydney... And I must say, I didnt really enjoy you... Its not because of the in-flight entertainment, but due to the poor service...
But before that, let us rewind to before I left hometown Penang.
At the airport, I was really surprised and happy that a lot of my friends turned up to send me off. Really thankful! And happy. Took loads of pictures and had some good hugs... well, they were meaningful! Besides that I had my family with me, which is the people who have supported me all the way till today! And for the years to come :D
I was indeed really happy, beyond words to see the people making their way to the airport... in awe, I guess....
Anyway, I tried to speak as much words to all of them that there was no time to be sentimental. I remember I did say that if you come you might see me crying, I guess I didnt cry after all...
Sharing hugs and goodbyes... I knew I'm gonna miss each and everyone of them... even know I feel like I really miss them... And besides that, even though some of my pals didnt make it to the departure gate, I'm still happy that I have them as part of my life... and I know some of them did show interest in wanting to come but due to commitments, they werent able to make it...
At the gate, I waved frantically back at my family and friends...
As I slowly board the aircraft, feelings started to get the better of me. I nearly made me cry... seriously... but when I was about to sit down, take a rest at my seat or maybe shed a tear or something... someone called out to me. It was Zhi Guo... I had totally forgotten that we are on teh same flight, heading to the same place for the same school.. That kinda killed the sad moment, but I was happy to know that I had a good friend coming to Sydney with me.
On the flight from KLIA to Sydney. The flight kinda suck!
Even before the aircraft was at the gates, waiting for slow passangers, there was something wrong with the air conditioner. It was hot! Even the pilot felt bad and had to apologise about it. So crappy!~
And thanks to someone whom I wish not to name.... Ok maybe I should say it out... F-ing Veronica Bitch! I kinda hated my flight, or more like hated her service. She wasnt doing her job well...
When dinner was served, she asked what drinks do I want.. And I asked what do they have. And she replied and I ordered. She told me to wait but it never came! The next incident, I told her I have something in my bag up in the over head compartment and was wondering if she could help me as I was sitting at the window seat! She again agreed to help but then disappeared! And once, I ordered milk, she said she'll go get it, and you guessed it right, it never came!
Arghhhh
But as the Big Metal Bird takes it to the sky... and as the moon rises and the sky turns dark. Watch out from the window and a really good view is installed for you! Stars that shine brightly hang in the midnight sky as the calm sea below melts all the anger and keeps you calm like a all natural sedattion...
As I look out in the the night sky, it was kinda cool to see thunder clap at yonder clouds... it kinda cool! I mean way cool. Its not every time you can be above the clouds...
When we landed in Syndey International Airport. The aircraft's engine was shut off right away, leaving no poor in the plane and everyone had to wait in a really stuffy and hot room.
But there is more, the seem to be problem with the plane, quote the guy on PA! the luggages all came out so much later... And due to all these red tape such as quarantine, my uncle waited for an hour!
And yea, once I came out to the arrival hall, I didnt even notice the tall looking guy infront of me.. It was "little"(by age) Josie Koo.. Hahaha, How much he has grown in th pass few years... making me look like a midget... seriously, he's tall, but he calls it a lil above average... By the way, Joseph, I think you look much better now that you're not so chubby :D
anyway, a new chapter a new beginning...
Take care ya'all
PS: I seriously didnt enjoy the Malaysian Hospitality(MH)... MAS only serve one meal from KL to Sydney... the muffin for breakfast seriously doesnt count! Serve something better! MAS is much more expensive than SIA and their service isnt any better, in fact its the opposite... its a nose dive in high flying enjoyment!
