Flight Ticket To Melbourne

I've bought my flight ticket! Hence, a new ticker yo!

=D =D

Will update more tonight.

* 2am update*

Just got back after a super duper filling meal at Tony Roma's with chong wei and Samuel. Ate until my stomach felt like it's gonna burst any minute.


My Pina Colada mm mmmmmm.


We had the Combo Dinner.


Came with their famous ribs which were so tender and tasty, Grilled Shrimps which I guess they used Tiger Prawns because they tasted exactly as fresh as those Tiger Prawns I used to cook in Melbourne, Baked Potato which was quite nice, and the Corn in Cob omfg the BEST corn I've ever eaten!


Looks like there's not much to eat from but you'd be surprised!

Ok time for my ticket story. Such a dramatic day!

I initially checked the prices online. Then I went to this travel agent at Kedah and decided to get my tickets there and I can pay and get my tickets right away instead of credit card hassle since the price was almost the same anyway.

This morning I drove up to the place and after telling the lady the dates and all, she told me the price is RM 1600++.

I was like WTF??? And I asked her why so cheap! Actually I wasn't even bothered to know why all I wanted to do was quickly pay and grab that ticket!!! Seriously so damn excited and happy ok from RM 2K++ to RM 1K++!!!

Then after a while I realized. She got the wrong date. I said July and she heard June.

WTF!! in the end it still came to about RM 2K++

After confirming the dates and prices and all, I realized I did not bring my passport.

I know it's a damn stupid mistake. Who buys flight ticket without bringing their passport along right?

That's because all these while I've been buying my tickets through travel agencies which I only contacted through phone calls and they sent me the tickets by post! All I had to do was fax to them a copy of my passport.

So anyway, the lady in the travel agent place asked for my passport and she said I could just give her the number just to purchase the tickets first. I called home and asked my brother to get my passport and read the number to me. I told him where to look for my passport from. After a while, he came back and told me there's no valid passport there and there were only old passports which parts of its covers have already been snipped. I thought he was looking at the wrong place and told him to search again. he came back after a while telling me the same thing - my passport's not there.

I was speechless for a while before I hung up and told the lady I'll go back later.

I trying to think where could my passport possibly be if not there cos I remember very clearly I put all my important cards and bank books at that very place. I was hoping so much that my brother actually overlooked and the passport's actually somewhere he missed.

I started to panic. And started searching ALL my bags (in the midst of searching I found my long lost headphone which I thought was missing all these while wtf) and every corner of the bag where I could have possibly slipped my passport at.

IN VAIN!!!

Then I sat down and thought quietly what bags I have used the last time I came back from Brisbane cos that was the last time I had to use my passport. It was the black bag... I also used the green bag... it's not in both bags... I think I slipped that passport into something...

OMG.

MY Blue PLANNER!

I remembered I brought my blue planner to Melbourne with me and all my important documents were slipped inside the pocket of that Blue planner!!!

Then I started searching the WHOLE bag looking for that blue planner. I searched the same spot for almost FIVE times but to no avail!!! I was even so damn scared shitless thinking that maybe my mom had sold that planner along with other old books during spring cleaning.

By then I was tearing a little already seriously! And then my fren only made me even more panicked when he said "Hah! Lost passport very big problem la have to wait for at least 3 years before you can make one again!"

WTF I DON'T WANTTTTTT!!!!!!

Then I called Jye and asked him if he has seen my blue planner in my other room. I know I should know better but being so panicky I seriously cannot recall so many things at that moment. he said he don't think it's there and he said he'd seen it before in my car.

I marched towards my car and search everywhere. NONE.

Then I went back into the house and thought for a while. Then I took the Car keys and opened the boot. So damn a lot of rubbish stuffs ok!

I had to push the big bag of dunno-what just to look underneath and see what books are there. Dug and dug and dug...

I SAW THE FAMILIAR Blue THING!

I quickly pulled it out. Yes it's my planner. I opened the cover and see the pockets. No, there's no sign of anything red. But there's an envelope which I kept my previous flight details. I took out the enveloped and looked inside.

A rush of relief came in split second - yes, my passport's inside.

I let out a very loud sigh of relief. I walked back into my fren house and my fren imitated my sigh but with a teasing purpose.

Anyway, passport found. Money prepared. I drove to the agent again and finally made the purchase.

This time I'll make sure I fucking put back my passport to where I'm supposed to keep it when I come back. Seriously, can get heart attack lah like this.

Anyway, I'll be staying a few days lesser than last year's cos my college mate are taking exam in July and I need to be back and make sure they're ok a.k.a I'm a responsible friend ahem. You see I even had to utilize every time available to get there ASAP! I'll be flying on Sunday night. Sunday itself I have staying at my house and it's the last day of May before leave for a month. And I'll be returning on Thursday midnight cos Friday I've got to work. HAIHHHHHHH NOW I HATE WORKING!

I really wanted to stay there forever but... haih. My job is in the way and I can't just throw my job away right now. I've stopped getting allowance from dad and my job's salary is my only income. Definitely a no-no to get myself sacked though the chances of me getting sacked is quite low because the demand. I thought of just going after August, after convocation, but that'll mean I can't go holiday with Est and Jon! =(

All in all, I've concluded that as long as I get to go and get to see him and also grab the chance to go on a holiday with the guys, nothing else matters. Stay shorter period also good - can save more money on more interesting getaways =D

Looking forward to Perth and Tasmania with Est and Jon!

Ok lah stupid one thesis also not done some more want to look forward to things that's probably gonna happen in 2 months time. Haih.

Purposely put that big ticker up there just to remind me whenever I come online (and come to this website).

Night.
Peace out crews!!
