Due to jet lag, I'm still hanging on the web here at 3:42 a.m. - even though I had a gruelling day at the airport yesterday, err no,
Monday in the UK time zone. Almost couldn't check in, almost missed the flight, I was
totally exhausted in that instant.
My flight departed at 9.30 p.m. and I arrived the airport at 5.20 p.m., it should be plenty of time for me to get everything well prepared before my flight. However, I got everything done just 15 minutes before the flight,
&%@*@(£%&%@£(*@£+!@+£)@£)(@(&@£*@_£@+_)£@$(*@£&%!@)(@£(!(@)(£!@^_+!@_) !!
First, I went to claim the VAT as I arrived there and I used half an hour to find the location of the office -,- The queue was super long, it took me 1 hour to claim the tax urgh. And then, my both luggages were overweight overweight - yea, I really meant it,
overweight overweight. For the check-in-luggage, it was 31kg but the limit was only 20kg, exceeded 11kg; for the hand carry luggage, it was 15kg and the limit was only 7kg
(??!!), the weight was doubled. I was about to pay for the penalty, however, the price was super-duper-incredibly unreasonable:
£46 for extra 1kg, dafuq?! It's a big no no for me to pay £874 just to bring my clothes back to Malaysia, I would rather to use the money to buy new clothes, and it is definitely adequate to buy tons of new clothes.
Then
suan liao, I repacked my luggage... and
cheated - I transfered the stuff in the check-in-luggage into a smaller bag and pretended the small bag was my hand carry; at the same time, I hid my 15kg hand carry luggage in a corner when I checked in. And then bla bla bla annoying procedures during the check in because my e-ticket had some problem on it. As I already checked in and ready to take back my 15kg hand luggage, guess what, IT WAS LOST. I've to declare that the British was super aware of unattended luggages, you can always hear the announcement:
Please do not leave your luggages at *somewhere*, unattended luggages will be destroyed due to security reasons. They suspect the luggages contain
bombs LOL. So, I went to the security and luckily I found it, thank god thank god.
OK now, I had 4 bags in total - 15kg hand carry, the cheating-used small bag, hand bag and a laptop bag but the rule was only 2 bags could be brought. I repacked repacked repacked repacked and repacked - with the help of 3 helpful strangers - but we still couldn't do it; the time tick-tock-tick-tock passed by my nervous blanked mind, it was already half past 8 and I still couldn't get my luggage done! At the very mean time, a woman asked me whether I was a student of Bellerbys College or not:
she was my classmate's aunt! What we did was packing the unnecessary stuffs into a bag and stored it at her house so that I could collect it next year - that was my only choice. The repack process took me almost 1 hour wth.
... Luckily I still got everything done on time. Seriously, THANK GOD.
And then I'm going to blog about what I did 2 days before my departure.
17112O12:
Went to shopping with my roommate - our last shopping and took loads of photos with her.
As you can see, the hair colour of both of us returned to normal - no more blonde and pink - became brown & black.
She's the bosom friends of mine, she did affect my life - she changed the messy me (because she has mysophobia) - I became much tidier now, I think I am. We sticked together 24/7 excluding our lesson time, I will definitely miss her. I purposely go back to the UK on her birthday so that I can celebrate with her, nobody wants a lonely 18th birthday, right?
18112O12, the night before:
My host family brought me out for Italian food as my farewell dinner.
My mixed seafood pasta. They also ordered a bottle of wine that night even though I was going to have my last exam next morning and pack all my stuffs before I slept that night.
My little baby girl, everyone said we looked alike. Really?
I used to be the baby sitter of their three children, thus when my host mother saw me packing my stuffs, she said "你既奶妈走左你既阿妈就辛苦罗". Hrm, I think I'm a professional baby sitter!
So, finally I've graduated and came back to Malaysia again, planned to go few places to have fun during these 2 months. LOL it's already 5a.m. now but I'm not sleepy at all and my friends are going to have their physics exam later - I can hear evil laughter from my heart AHAHAHAHAHAH!
No stress stress Lyee is planning to have fun today and go to pasar malam, oh yeah!! :P
Who wants to go gai gai with me?
OK, I've to back to my movies now, bye-bye... & good luck!
xoxo.
