My 1st day in AUS

Monday, 2 July 2007


Plane touched down in Melbourne at around 6.20am. Had to go thru immigration and security checks all by myself. I wasn't sure of how to fill up a few portions of the arrival form. Was afraid that if I had filled in up incorrectly, I would have to go redo the form and queue right from the back again. Passing thru the security checks was also nerve wrecking. Although I didn't bring anything illegal with me, but the thought of the officer going thru my luggage feels real intimidating. Luckily nothing bad happened and I cruised thru all the procedures smoothly.

I was expecting to see my aunt waiting for me at the arrival gates, but I saw only foreign faces. I waited at a corner and even phoned my aunt on her mobile, but no response. I wasn't frightened that I'll be stranded all alone in the airport cuz I was v sure my aunt would be there. After 5min, she came, welcoming me in her cheerful voice and with open arms.

I reached their place at 7am and was greeted by my younger cousins, Jared and Arella. Jared made breakfast for me and we sat at the dining table, watching the morning news as we had our breakfast. I went to get some sleep becuz I only caught 2 hrs of sleep on board the plane. Watched 2 movies and 1 TV show.

Woke up around 1pm. My relatives brought me out to this huge shopping mall, FACTORY OUTLET, where cheap branded stuff were sold. THere was a sale going on, so it was even cheaper! Bought a few pieces of clothing there. My relative who is doing his 3rd yr of uni came to Melbourne for a hol so my aunt brought him and his friend along too. He's also from Singapore and he's actually my uncle though he's just a few yrs older. My cousins and I like to tease him by greeting him Uncle Nick whenever we could.

Dinner that night was sumptous. Nick joined us for dinner too. I really ate alot. I just kept stuffing myself with food, attacking mostly, the plate of rendang chicken in front of me. There was still leftovers after dinner. Good thing, so I can have it again for dinner tmr! HEE HEE.

I had a tough time sleeping on my first night. I was quite scared becuz all the lights were switched off and I was terrified of the pitch black darkness. I tot I saw black shadowy figures flying on the ceiling. Kept my eyes open, didn't dare to close them. Finally, I fell asleep...I was sharing the room with my cousin, Arella. Nonetheless, still terrified.
