*BaCk To HomELaNd*
Achumm.. Damm Damm cold.. out of all days, i end up falling sick on the eve b4 i leave my room... well, cold is one thing.. but having to pack the entire room when ur sick, now thats a whole diff issue... imagine packing the entire messy room in a just a few hours... it was like pack for an hour.. sleep for 2 hrs.. n then pack again for an hour.. snooze for a couple of hours.. hahaha.. having to never ever packed b4, now packing the whole room while having a running nose n temperature, spelt BUMPED!!! but, tadaaa.. phewww... finally, managed to pack all my stuff.. hahaha... *clapss for myself* then, came the tricky part... as it is, things never ever goes by the way i initially planned... INITIAL PLAN :- - a knapsack - a check in luggage - a carry on luggage (P.S - has to be light) REALITY :- - a knapsack that was bursting with stuff (the zip came off) - a check in luggage that i had to sit on to zip it (could never stand straight owing to the weight) - a carry on luggage (which i had to check in coz of the weight) - my lap top (that could not fit into the knapsack) *sigh* why does it always have to end up like this? carrying the luggage was my oh my.... but, it was the thought of going back home that counted.. la la la.. in mere 3 days, i would be back home.. yay yay.... one nite at shin wei's room b4 we headed to chicago... upon arriving at chicago airport, lol.. that was the fun part... we (me n shin wei) arrived at 10pm, sunday nite.. while our flight was scheduled for 8pm,monday... 22 hours.. hahaha initially, we thought we could hang out at the airport lounge or whatsoever.. BUT, n this is a big but, haha, CHICAGO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT was nothing like KLIA or PENANG airport.. all they had were lie chairs.. just chairs.. no sofas or newhere to rest that cute butt of mine for 22 hrs.. damm.. DOOMED.... so so DOOMED... the next alternative :- to get to the nearest hotel nearby.. so we tried a few numbers b4 agreeing on Super 8 hotel... there we were, both standing in front of the airport, waiting for our shuttle from the hotel to pick us up.. never in my life, have i checked in in a hotel all alone, only with another friend... such an experience.. however, the age for checking in was 21... suych a bummer.. thanks to the flirtatious guy at the front desk, we finally got our room keys... the room was wowiee.... really cun la.. n the best part - they had WIFI service.. la la la.. such big beds for each of us....getting to lay that back of mine on the soft comfy bed, ahh HEAVEN!!! we checked out at 6pm, before taking the cab to the terminal.. during the ride, the time in the cab showed 7pm.. instead, our watched indicated 6pm.. when asked, the driver said it was 7pm.. imagine the shock.. our flights were scheduled for 8pm..n here we were, at 7.15pm sitting in the cab... finally, we reached the airports oni to find out that the clock in the cab was actually WRONG.. damm the tension it had cause... boarding in, once again it was a relief to know that both my oversized heavy luggages were actually in the weight quata...yippieeee... however, our flight was delayed for an hour...it was so fun sitting at the terminal n staring at the planes while imagining our return back to homeland. i remember my anxiety building as each second ticked. so near yet so far.. that was exactly how i felt.if only i knew how to apparate...hehehe finally we boarded the much awaited plane.. n here i was, sitting beside a cute 30 sthing year old guy who had his eyes glued to the lap top in fornt of him.. hehe.. the moment i fastened my seat belt, it was off to summerland.. coming back to reality when the air hostess announced that we were going to land, it was a long long walk (more like a fast paced run) from terminal 1 to terminal 3... when we finally reached the terminal, ppl were already boarding the plane.. thanks to the 1 hr delay initially, we were kinda late.. into the sandwich packed plane i went n once again, made myself comfy before snoozing off...the journey lasted for 13 n a half hours....we were to land in taipei for transit.. unlike the first time, i actually managed to watch two movies in between my summerland trip.. hehe when we reached taipei, it was 4 n a half hours between me n my fmly:P...almost a year apart... n now oni 4.5 hrs.. yabi dapi dooooooo..... n finally the much awaited time came.... through out the 4.5 hrs, i never slept.. haha.. too exicted to sleep.... the gisht of the kelapa sawit, DAYUMM.. what a huge diff... when we landed, i could seriously feel my heart beat increasing like.. wowieeeee.... hahahaha after custom clearance, then came the nerve wrecking part.. - WAITING FOR MY LUGGAGE... more than 30 mins, i stood there, waiting for my red n yellow bag to come... finally, when i saw no bags coming out n my big yellow bag no where in sight, holy shit.. i felt like slapping everyone in front of me.. damm china airlines.. so having to walk to the Lost n Found Department, n lodging my report, it took me more than 1 hr plus b4 i finally walked out of the terminal, with the promises of the return of my yello luggage the following day... when i finally saw my parents, ahhhhhhhh....dream come true babybehh... *recalls parents expression* DaD :- look at ur daughter... jeans hairstyle all so different MuM :- hahaha.. what american hairdo ah? the earlier color was better la n off i left to penang.... hehehe 20 days have passes n it feels like oni a week... being back is sooooo nice.... hip hip hooray...
