船到桥头自然直

Err sorry that I don't know how to translate that Chinese idiom of the blog title. It literally means "the head of the boat will be straighten eventually when it reaches the port", which means things will turn out well eventually.


OK enough of Mandarin lesson. Sorry for the emo post yesterday. Thanks for all those who gave your concern. I've got my luggage back :D

The whole story is like this:

When I found out that I got the wrong baggage, I was still very calm. I thought it must be someone from the same van (the van that UQ sent to pick us up) as I was so sure that I've checked my luggage when I pick it up as I took something out from it.

Then before I slept, I was suddenly hit by the fact that the luggage I checked was actually the hand-carried one. I took out a file from the hand carry, so I wasn't that sure if I took the right one back from airport anymore. I started to get panicked.

This morning after trying to search for help from uni with no avail, I was sort of depressed, and posted the post which some of you may have seen.

Then I decided to call my mom. I dunno why I couldn't call MAS, so she called on my behalf. but MAS asked us to call Brisbane Airport and report to the Lost and Found department first. But apparently no one reported luggage loss or mistook my luggage, so I was even more upset. But the airport side told me to bring the luggage back to the airport, and if they found mine, they will deliver it to my place. So well, I guess I have to go to the airport via taxi since I don't know how to take bus there yet. A 20 minutes distance cost around AUD60 one way. My wallet....

But well, before I depart to the airport, the Lost and Found department called me again, and told me the lady who took my luggage reported. So I was told if possible we meet up ourselves instead of going to the airport, and the airport then gave me her number. So I was worrying where should I meet them, and what should I do to carry that heavy luggage around using bus, which I still had no experience with.

But so ngam, she asked me to meet at UQ. And then, apparently her daughter is studying there too. And apparently again, she was from the same van. And yes, the luggage was swapped when they left the van. So I wasn't that blur to take the wrong one at the airport. But still blur enough not to be able to tell if I double-checked if that's my luggage at the airport. So we happily swapped out luggage.

FYI, our luggage looks THE SAME except the size differs. Hers is slightly bigger, and A LOT heavier. lols. But yea, like I said, it's like everything is pre-arranged by Guan Yin Ma. So many so ngams, so that I was able to get my luggage back without much hassle.

真是有惊无险，谢谢佛祖保佑！

I Wanna Go Home!!!

I have safely arrived at Brisbane. But seriously??? Why are all the bad things hitting me here?

I have problem finding temporary accommodation, but it was finally settled like, 2 hours before deadline of airport pickup application.

Then the house that I have scheduled for inspection is cancelled a day before departure, cause' it is rented out.

Then I almost left my passport at home the morning before the flight.

And when I arrived, I mistook others' luggage and didn't realize until I reached Jason's place. Now I have no idea what to do seriously. Uni offices are not open so I have no idea where to get help.

I seriously miss Malaysia where you can get help anywhere easily. Even outside, if U got lost, the are shops around open till late night, and information counter is everywhere. You just need to ASK. Here I can't even find where to ask. Sobs

Me wanna go home! T.T

Pre-Departure

So......today is my last day before leaving to Brisbane. I shall see Malaysia in 10 months time.

Few months ago, even a few weeks ago, I was so excited and thought I was mentally prepared to leave. But now when reality kicks in, everything seem so unreal. I don't feel like leaving now.

Everything seem so unreal to me, that I am leaving house, staying alone, taking care of myself for the first time in a foreign environment. For 10 months, I will have to depend on myself, no petting from parents. No matter how independent I claimed I were, in the end, I am still being taken care of by my parents.

I need not worry about money,
I have people wiser than me to turn to,

In other words, I can get things settled even when I ran out of resources, ideas or got lost in life. So for the very first time, I am on my very own.


No kakak to cook for me,
Nobody to do groceries shopping for me,
No kakak to do house chores,
and many more.



Like what da hell, I am missing home even before leaving @.@. Usually people get homesick a few weeks or months after leaving, I think I can set a Guiness World Record now. lols


So, today,
I had my last homecook meal,
Drove for the last time,
Showered at home for the last time,
Sat in my living room for the last time,
Will be sleeping on my bed for the last time,
and the next time I do all these, it will be 10 months later.






Annyeong~ Home, you shall be missed.
