hello there. =)
it has been awhile since i last posted about my journey to aussie, ey? haha! sorry. =( i have been busy worrying about not being able to see these people anymore. silly thought, i know, but i can't help but to feel so. and yeah, it did bring me under the wind for the past few days. heh.

but anyhow, here i am, 2 weeks away from my departure to my whole new life. i am actually exaggerating this. but yeah, it really did feel like i am about to begin my own life over there. everything will be totally different. it really does feel like a challenge for me.
what happened for the past whole week had been pretty laid back, little did i realise i did bring my some problems along the way, something that i pretty much couldn't see coming. probably the exitement was causing me to be ignorant about other important details that i have never thought existed, ever.
my brains had gone noodles since college ended. HAHAH
well, after i had handed in my application for Monash, all i had to do was wait for my agent to tell me to go ahead with the health check. supposedly, she told me to only purchase my flight ticket after i had the confirmation of the visa. but i was worried that the longer i waited, the more i had to pay for my flight. as i was observing the flight prices increasing at about rm100 per day. it was scaring me somehow, since i had to spend so much on my education itself, i wanted to try to save as much as i can. initially i did not want to fly airasia due to the very bad experience i had on my previous journey to Macau. but after some conversation with my aunt, i got convinced that it would be a better option to pick the cheaper flight after all. and then i had the problem on choosing which date i was supposed to fly over. assuming i had to search around for a place to stay before my orientation date, which falls on the 13th, i figured i should be there at least 5 days before that. sort of like a preparation and getting used to the place before i had to digest the fact that i will be in that uni for the next 3 years.

honestly. i was thinking too much. but i can't help it! everything was in need of some thoughts. i am actually planning for something that i have no clue how it would turn out. and it does intimidate me from time to time. after 3 days of frustration over the flight ticket problem, i made the decision to fly of on the 7th, giving me enough time to prepare a little before the orientation begins. midnight flight, i could just sleep in as i am that kind of a pig who sleeps almost anywhere comfortably. haha. yeah. and arrive on the 8th, which then leaves me with exactly 5 days to prepare myself. sounds like a good plan, yeah?

i thought so too. even got me checking in straight away after the purchase. well. now that i have a slight image of how things are gonna be, that was a wrong decision after all. for my sister had work on that day, which leaves me stranded for that day. oops. here is the one thing that i missed, that i did not think of. so much for overthinking. =/ for initially i thought i really could just pop by anytime and should be fine on my own. FACT : i needed to bunk in at her place for at least a day or two until i get my own place to stay, so yes. i NEED HER STILL! now. here is one problem by itself.

i could possibly change my flight to other days where she will be free to come pick me up from the airport, yes? but i already checked in. so.. i guess i need to contact AirAsia to see if i can change the flight, if i really do need to change my flight.

okay. one problem solved.
what's next?

my mobile number.
i am using prepaid! which means i have to constantly top up to prevent my number from being barred. which also means i have to switch plan to keep my number somehow. which also means i have to sacrifice my current plan : Super SMS where i can text all DiGi numbers for free for the whole day after spending 50cents on texting.
hrm... what am i gonna do about this one? or, i can sub in with my sister's plan, which she is planning to switch to Celcom if i am not mistaken. which also means it will cost a bomb for whoever who wishes to contact me. but of course, i will still have a new aussie number altogether. just that i would want to keep my Malaysian number just in case when i am back, i can use to contact people or people could use to contact me.
though i did stumble upon this plan from digi, where i can pay only rm30 and i can prevent being barred for the whole year. but i have to switch my plan to BestPrepaid plan. no more Super SMS for me. =/ as of now, it does look like the best option. still needs reconsidering.

speaking of a place to stay, my sister is spoon feeding me on this one. which then makes me realise, i doubt i would actually survive Australia on my own if it was not for her presence. she had already searched for houses for me. if it wasn't for her, i'd probably just PRAY that the uni has a place for me to stay. WAIT! but they had already told me if they had no place for me to stay, they could actually help me search for a place to stay, no way i was gonna be stranded there. but yeah, i would probably be too scared that i have no place to stay, and end up choosing some crappy place to stay or even being conned off my money. =O yes. i am blessed to have my sister with me every step of the way to Australia. she had been here all the while, and as much as i thought i would stop depending on them, it really does feel like i am not ready to be on my own at this rate.

well. i gotta learn someday, yeah?
and this is when i will start learning. =)
thank you, for everything.
