First time on a plane myself...fun!

1st of June:

Bright & early in the morning,waking up with a big yawn,nervous thoughts fill my head.Yet I have a butterflies in my stomach feeling.....Will something go wrong?Or will it be a one in a lifetime experience?

Getting out of the car,I felt totally nervous.As I adjusted my backpack that lay on my shoulders,I entered the air port,a gust of cold wind blew in my face.I walked in confidently...My mum & I walked over to a business class check-in counter,I checked in as a UM(unaccompanied minor).A lady brought me in as I waved my goodbyes & blew air kisses to my mum.The lady brought me to the business class lounge.A different lady came up to me & said "would you like any drinks,food?or play the computer?".I said computer,then she brought me to a computer.Then had a final call with my dad from Taipei,then followed a different lady(you see how frustrating it is to be a UM,SO many different people)to the gate.I went through,went on the aeroplane & wow!If you saw it for yourself you would be ecstatic too!The business class seat.....big & comfy!Oh!& the cushions,2 of them.A lady came up to me,introducing herself,asking me if I would like a juice & what I wanted to eat later on....As soon as the seat belt sign was turned off,which meant we had taken off,I pressed a few buttons beside me,ended up with my footrest thingy to go up & the back of the seat to go into a diagonal line.I watched 3 and a half movies then we finally landed in my hometown,Melbourne.The air stewardess that introduced herself earlier,escorted me out of the plane,then an Australian lady escorted me to the luggage belt to collect my BRIGHT green luggage.Then we went to the pick-up point where my maternal uncle n grandparents picked me up.In Melbourne time was 3 hrs faster than Singapore time so it was kinda already night time there,around 8 plus ,I think.We went back to my grandparent's home,the house I missed so dearly as I was in Singapore,I lied on the carpet floor.Ready to look at Marcus's,I mean my uncle's video collection to choose a late night movie,boo yah!
a few days later......

4th June:

Wakey,wakey!Great breakfast!I had Maccers!(McDonalds).My uncle brought me rock climbing.....so uh-mazing!My uncle & I tried most of it....But gulped at the sight of this extremely big & tall rock climbing wall & when I say tall,I mean seriously tall!!!Just glimpsing at it made my legs shake in fear....

5th June:

Rise & shine!It's mini golf time!Uncle Marcus brought my grandma & I to Dingley village where the mini golf place is,we played outdoor mini golf.I chose a hot pink ball,Marcus chose a white ball,& grandma chose a dark green ball.Beginning started out a little boring.But at around the 8-10th hole,it started to get more interesting,there were little tunnels leading from 1 place to another we had to go upstairs then the tunnel led us downstairs.Some even had little sucker contraptions that sucked the ball up then you could see your own ball going down on a like mini roller coaster circling around your head.& at the end when you put your ball into the hole,a tunnel will bring the ball right to the basket where I first picked out the ball.

6th June:

Woke up early to pack my bag.......for a sleepover with my good friend Phoebe,I haven't seen her in ages!I couldn't wait to see & play with her again,she is a Singaporean,which was 1 of my first few friends when I came to Singapore.We played wii together with her 2 little brothers,Thaddeus & Caden.Then we had dinner,chicken rice,yum,yum!Then phoebe & I played pillow fight together!I won...hehehe,the next day Uncle Marcus picked me up then we went home....

7th June:

Getting ready for another play date,this time with my grandma's old friend & her daughter & son,her daughter,Nadia is a little older than me but we can still communicate with each other.& her son,Adam is the same age as my brother & the last time my brother came,Adam wanted to play with my brother everyday...Let me tell you,the feeling was mutual for my brother.We went rock climbing ...again,but it's fine cause I enjoy it,this time Nadia was like the belayer(dint know how to spell,the person that like carries the person that climbs.Adam & I climbed ,at points it was really hard...but we got through it by trying over & over & over again.After rock climbing for about 2 hrs,we went back to Nadia & Adam's home.Over there,we played wii sing it,but when I heard Adam singing,well,let's just say I thought it was his sister singing...

The following days were most likely shopping with my grandma,I LOVE the shops there,so fab! Although most of it were winter clothes as it was winter there.Some clothes.I forced my grandma to try on & she bought a few.....We shopped EVERYWHERE,myers,k-mart,best & less & last but not least target.Then it was packing time.......My grandma & I,well,mostly my grandma tried to stuff all the gifts & clothes into my luggage ,it was kind of funny to watch....Then I said ,my good byes as I flew back to Singapore...
