Memorabilia

In Australia

The most obvious memorable moment for me within the past month (considering the fact that i am an international student)would be, leaving home to come to Melbourne.

The memory of that moment starts all the way from when i started packing my bags, checking the itinerary list: Clothes check, Toiletries check, (at least enough to last the month)Plane tickets check and Passport double check (i do not think the Australian immigration would take to kindly to illegal entry into Australia)

The memory of the moment continues as soon as i reach the airport. Mum was there of course, a couple of friends and my bags. I arrived late at the airport (it was a weekday plus the rush hour traffic was horrible) Checked my bags only to find out that it was overloaded by 4 kilos.

Opened the bag got out a few things (one of my favorite pair of Jeans didn't make the flight to Melbourne unfortunately but mum was nice enough to send it over).

I didn't get a wink of sleep in the plane. I was to busy putting on the headphones trying to drown out that the cries of this one particular toddler who seemed to have had a caffeine trip by the way she was wailing and not wanting to sleep throughout the flight.

Anyway just as i touched down at Tulamarine airport, as soon as i got out from that plane and out through the doors of immigration, that was probably the most memorable moment of my life. New people, new environment, crazy weather and basically a brand new chapter in my life away from my home in Malaysia.

What you have just read was ultimately the memory of the preparation, the moving and the arrival into what would be (hopefully) the best damn time of my life.

Cheers.
