Today is the day where I’ll be flying to Melbourne. I’m so excited and at the same time feeling a bit sad. The happy part is that I’ll be going for a holiday. The sad part is I won’t be able to see my dearie for a week. But I know we can make it. Right dear?

Early in the morning Aaron came to my house to pick me up and sent me to the airport. I thought we still have time for breakfast in KLIA before I board the plane. But it turns out that I’m just in time to go in. I can’t even have the last meal with him before I leave. Sigh… Well, at least I didn’t miss my flight which is at 10am and I reach at 9am.

The MAS airline is kinda huge. I didn’t expect so many people to travel to Melbourne. The plane is full. And I was sitted right at the back of the plane. But I don’t mind that sit though although I don’t have the window seat because there’s 2 empty seat beside me and at the other far end is I believe is a Chindian. He’s kinda good looking though. Hehehehe… Don’t marah ye dear. At least with the empty seat beside me it will be more spacious and I’m able to walk or stretch my leg at the back of the place since the flight is gonna take 7 hours and 20 minutes to reach. I will need the extra space.

Each seat has their own personalized TV right in front of them. I saw 3 movies and they are Pacifier (which I’m dying to watch), Samara and Sepet our very own Malaysian movie. They even have mini games but it’s pretty hard to play thought because the screen is kinda small.

The food they serve in plane was ok. Can’t expect much for in-house flight foods. First and foremost they gave us peanuts as starters then I had ribs for lunch and followed by cake, juice, tea, croissant, dark chocolate cake and even ice-cream.

I reach Melbourne at 5.30pm Malaysian time and the time in Melbourne is 7.30pm. It’s already dark when I reach. Furthermore is winter in Melbourne and the day is shorter than night.

After passing through the custom, I took a Skybus which is a shuttle bus from the airport to the city and cost $13 to Spencer Street. There I met up with Ying Hui and we walk a few streets before able to get on the tram to her house because so happen that moment the trams are having some technical error.

I was hungry when I reach there. So I had home-cooked food prepared by Ying Hui. Just a simple white rice with ommelete and bean sprouts.

After dinner, Ying Hui and Ju Wei brought me to Crown which is a casino. We are given $10 credit free try on the slot machine and I won $6. After that we went to the back of the casino to witness the fire ball they launch every hour. Huge fire ball.

We just walk around Melbourne city for sight-seeing. Most of the shops closed already. After that we went back home sleep and the journey begins tomorrow.
