1st step outta perth--melbourne (intro)

hi yaz, for those who dunno, i m typing this in melbourne! i m finally outta perth (giggling at my bros)

havent been blogging for ages, always try to concentrate yet somehow left with many unfinished post drafts in my space which i attempt to blog for the past few days...sigh i m getting lazy. anyway, lets get goin wif melbourne now.

 

~reaching melbourne~ 

took us a total of 3 and a half hours flying from perth to mebourne, and the trip is torturing. btw we were taking tigers, dats the cheapest flight which i can possibly found, cost 700 AUD for me and mum on a round trip. we arrived at perth's domestic airport around 10.30pm (perth's local time), checking in and other stuffs, everything went well which is a little out of wut i expect *mayb the custom officer will halt us becoz mum was carrying "pao" to melboune* or we went to a wrong gate for boarding* thank god none of them happened*phew* although there was a little delay of the flight, but besides dat we finally made it to melbourne!

i took a pic of the tiger plane but aikks i didnt bring my usb cord for camera so cant load the pics to comp now.

i knew the plane wud be small, but not as small as i finally looked at it myself, but it doesnt matters me and mum anyway. just really "zha dao" dat the seat i have picked located exactly beside the plane's wing, i was sitting next to the window and all i saw for the whole trip is the wing...well, most of it.

taking off by 1am (perth local time), for the next 3.5 hours in plane i hav to sit so upright becoz i cant bend down my seat, i guess the seat must be not working properly, or the person behind me is too tall. and now my body still kinda hurting.

after 3.5 hours of torture we finally reached melbourne. melbourne local time is 2 hours ahead of perth's, by the time we reached there was 6.30am, sigh we lost 2 hours... 

melbourne's airport isnt any much differ from perth one, but the terminal we arrive is really shitty. surprisingly we didnt need went through the custom as we did in perth, straight away walking bypass everything to an outdoor space to collect our luggage. 

 

we staying at "lao goh" house, dats the pronaunciation in hokkien means ..... "grand aunt"? she is my mum's father's sis.

 

to be continued ....
