4 Year Blogging !!

It's been FOUR years since I opened this blog.

I'm really happy, excited and I don't know what to say.

I'm glad that I met all of you guys either behind the screens or in face.

Some of you have been really close to my heart although we've never met in real life.

Love you All.

Off to Australia p4

Off to Australia p3

So here we are again. 

Heading to Australia, Melbourne Tullamarine Airport to be precice. 

In this flight I didn't get any sleep 

Instead I watched couple of movies

First movie was : 

Pitch Perfect

That was ok Not a must to see -.-

And the second movie was :

The Odd Life of Timothy Green

Now that movie I liked 

It had a nice story

And interesting to watch.

Of course they brought us meals that I don't remember now :p

But they were all delicious.

Including the snacks.

When the movies were over 

Not much time was left to see another movie.

So I just watched some TV series like : 

Friends 

2 Broke Girls

The big bang theory

And some disney series as well

We arrived earlier than expected to Melbourne

I think the flight was meant to be there at 8:35 AM

And we landed at 8:05 AM

If I wasn't mistaken.

Any ways before we land they gave us this yellow slip of paper.

An English one .. but this is an arabic one for the arabic readers :p

And the future Scholarists ;p

We finally got off the plane.

We went and took our luggage.

Guides and Help are all over.

And also there are some people who come and ask you if you have any food

or anything from the list that you checked in.

And after that they stamp on your yellow card.

Long line to wait until our turn is up.

After the Australians were in they opened another path for us 

Now any citizen could go to national or the Australian row.

They ask you couple of questions like the one  

written in the card.

Compare your passport pic to you :p

And let you in.

If you had an online passport that didn't show.

They take you to a counter next by them just to check and then let you in.

On your way out of the luggage and passport area they take the yellow card from you.

If you need any help you could ask the counter with the volunteers 

They are actually for universities but they come and ask you 

If you need any help or assistance even though your not a student.

After that we bought a sim card and went for breakfast at Nando's 

until the bus came since I need to go to 

Bendigo Airport Station

After we finished eating breakfast.

We went just out the airport to where the bus is going to come and waited there.

The Bendigo Airport Station Bus arrived

We bought a ticket and off we went.

It was a 2 hour trip till the station.

The bus driver called a taxi so we could go home.

Yaay finally arrived.

Took a shower to freshen up.

Then went out to open an account and enroll at Tafe.

Then home to sleep !! 

That's all folks ;p

This is my first time to be out of Kuwait 

in it's National and Liberation Day

I miss this celebration very much

Shine

Off to Australia p3

Off to Australia p2

So Here we are again 

The plane landed at Dubai 

We have 3 and a half hours to spend in the airport

It looked different to me since I haven't been to Dubai airport since summer 2009-2010 

After 9th grade I mean

We had to check in to get our seat numbers at first 

After that we had a look around.

Went to duty free and bought a magazine and a book I'll be writing my feed back about after I finish reading it.

Almost an hour or so left for the gate to open.

So we went to sit near the gate.

Chatted a little with friends and family.

Then time to go in ;p 

Went in .. sat a little until the crew started to call us by the order of the seats.

We're in :P 

EK - 404 -

Dubai to Singapore/Melbourne (Australia)

About 17 hours

I don't remember what meals they gave us exactly but they were all good ;p

And the snack I don't know about because I fell a sleep after the first meal xD 

First I finished watching :

Here comes the boom 

It was good I guess.

After that I watched Hotel Transylvania

I liked it .. It was pretty funny !

I woke up couple of times because of the annoying kid who wouldn't stop crying !!

Then after 5 hours - I think-  I was really up

Ate lunch I guess and rewinded the rest of the film that I slept while it was running xD

The flight was about 10 hours 

I got a gift in that flight as well ;p

I was still dizzy when a cute girl from the crew came to wish me luck in my studies.

Apparently she was talking with my mom when I was  a sleep.

She said goodbye as we were going out.

As well as the young man from the crew

After that we had to stop at Singapore airport.

They let us down to clean the airplane and change the crew

So we went out into the airport 

Got into the rest rooms to freshen up.

I've noticed they had recycle bins that looked amazingly interesting.

Unfortunately I forgot to take a picture of them.

But I found the pic in google :P

I liked the idea of it.

After maybe 30 min the gate opened again

They asked us to show our visa with the passports 

And Off we went ;p

Next Post 

The rest of the Flight 

And 

Hello Australia ;p

Off to Australia p2

Off to Australia p1

Emirates - EK 854 - 

Kuwait - Dubai 3:50 AM

For 1:30 hours

It was AMAZING !!!!!

I met a cabin crew member that was so cute !!

Her name is Asma I talked to her a little while we were waiting to be seated.

She first asked me about my studies and which country and if its my first time and how old am I and so ;p 

She literally spoiled me and I LOVED it !! 

At first we had a seat and put our seat belts on .. 

Just about when the plane wanted to start moving .. 

Asma started giving out the monsters supposedly to the children but I got one too :p

Actually I got the purple monster but I already had it before and I had it hanged on my laptop bag :p

So I asked her if she could change it. 

Asma : Of course what color would you like ?

Me : It's ok anything blue or green it doesn't make a difference

(as I saw the tray that had the toys have blue and green colors)

She went somewhere then as she came back to check the seat belts she asked me to wait for a minute and she'll bring the toy after a bit.

Instead of bringing 1 she brought all the other colors !!

Blue - Green - Yellow the three of them !

Later she came with an instant camera and took 

1 picture me alone 

2 pictures of mom and me 

She had them put into frames and wrote me a memory above one of the pictures ♡

I was spoiled by her and the other cabin crew as well.

Especially from Asma ..

And another girl - unfortunately I don't remember her name but I remember that she had a dream to study in Paris - That gave me advice. 

Girls I really do appreciate it a lot !

Almost more than half way passed when Asma came with a goodies bag ready for us.

It had traveling samples, water and chocolates .. etc .. 

All as doubles as she said it was for me and mom.

She had this ready for me to wish me good luck 

I wrote her a thank you letter .. and she did wrote me a letter as well.. we swapped the letters while talking a bit when we wanted to go off the plane.

I'm really lucky that I met her 

And very honored that we still keep in touch.

BTW I watched the movie : Here comes the Boom on the plane 

and continued the last 15 min maybe on the other flight.

We had eggs with spinach and cheese and a sausage for breakfast with side dishes of a salad, fruits , crackers and croissant .

3:50 AM according to Kuwait Timing 

Hello Dubai !!

Next up Dubai airport ;p 

Off to Australia

Since I got my acceptance .. 

I didn't feel anything regarding the traveling.

My friends and family told me that I might feel things in the last week.

Well, Guess again !

I didn't xD

I felt it the day I left Kuwait.

To be exact I felt it when I hugged my grandfather 

and M. before leaving home.

Since they couldn't come to the airport 

because they need to wake up early 

and it was 1 AM already !

I held myself together so I won't cry while hugging them

 and in the car as well.

After arriving at the airport we went to check our bags .

Guess what again ?! 

I'm still 14 kg over after I took 10 kg out at home xD

I took out some stuff into other bags .. 

And some went into a bag that went back home again ;p 

Then we went to Caribou Coffee.

Ordered coffee and brownies .. 

Took pictures since it will take a long time to pass for a reunion 

3:19

We're about to get in .. 

I hugged cousin H. .. Aunt H.. and Aunt M. 

I handled to get my self together and not cry.

Then I hugged my brother F. 

And tears started to run !!

Hugged everyone again .. kisses and wishes here and there.

3:23 

We're in gate 21 waiting for our turn to go in the plane.
