New Journey Begins

When I was pulling my hair out while deciding a date to fly to Perth, I didn't have much choices because of the ridiculously expensive AirAsia tickets during peak period. My dad so happened to came across a promotion for flatbed, which was cheaper than the economy class. So in the end, we quickly grabbed it and everything's settled.

So my first flatbed experience, of course started off with taking a photo..... very quickly! Just like how they say "Asian at Work", but in this case, I want to add one more word. So to be accurate, it should be "Kampung Asian at Work". I'm glad "Kampung Asian at Work #2" didn't happen because there was no selfie of me sitting there as too many people walking passed and one guai lou already sat down beside me busy replying last minute emails on his laptop. Also, this was my first time sitting in the front row, so I took few minutes trying to figure out how to get the food tray out of the seat. Omg I looked like a neanderthal discovering something 'fascinating'!

Seeing my first sunrise in Perth. Continue on my "Asian at Work".

My principle supervisor, Charlotte, woke up at 4.30am and drove to the airport just to pick me up, which was out of my expectation. And she has forgotten that I'd need about an hour to get out to the arrival hall. So she waited an hour for being too punctual. Giving up going to bed at night is common, but giving up staying in bed in the morning is a really big sacrifice, especially only for a new student. Now I feel guilty...

Because I can't check into my accommodation till 9am, so in the meantime, Charlotte took me on a short tour around the city and we went to Kings Park for breakfast. This is a view of the city from Kings Park.

Adding another short tour around Fremantle (as our uni is close to Fremantle), the timing was just nice when we arrived at Murdoch. Although I've spent the night with a flatbed, but it was only a 5 and a half hour flight plus the regular announcements from the pilot, I didn't have a nice long uninterrupted sleep. So I still felt sleepy after that. Therefore, I just laid straight on the bed for a nap as I can't be bothered unpacking.
