Hi, I am Leon
sweetxsunkissd
DISCLAIMER:
The last 2 days were the longest days of my life. Here's how it goes
16th February
I had the most beautiful dream of my life. I can't say too much without embarassing myself but it was mostly about some really sweet stuff, hope that day comes true soon. Well, the whole day was about packing, packing, packing. We weighed my luggage time and time again. Really worried that it was overweight. We had tissue paper, clothings, soaps, books, hangers etc.
The sad feeling that I had that day overshadowed the happy dream that I had earlier in the morning. Leaving home proved to be one of the saddest thing I've ever encountered in life. In the morning, I talked with my doggie. She's happy as usual.
When evening came, Sze Chuan came over to my place. He just stood outside the gate, not ringing the bell or anything, we were all downstairs but my brother's little doggie ran out and sat there watching at him. Hehe.. Anyway, I went outside and greeted him, we sat down on the car. Talked. He started talking some religious stuff again. Sometimes, I feel it's hard talking to him. He's so hard-up on what his church has to say and says that all other churches are wrong. Anyway, I just sat there and listened to him.
We didn't have enough time to have a proper dinner. Rushed off to the airport, checked in. The queue was a mile long. Anyway, we decided to have fast food for dinner instead in the airport. I didn't eat much. When the food was done, we walked around. Mom asked not to leave so soon. Anyway, we walked around for antoher 5 minutes more.
Then came the moment of truth.
At the gate, hugged my mom, said goodbye. I could see tears in her eyes. I felt really sad, wanted to cry too but I couldn't. When I was descending the escalator, fear, anxiety, sadness all jumbled up together, overwhelmed my feelings. Suddenly, my vision didn't seem so clear anymore. My eyes felt they were a thousand pounds heavy.
In those very short 2-3 minutes of my life, I felt all the feelings I've ever felt in my whole life. As if each and every feeling I've ever had, was compressed into those few minutes.
Enough about feelings.
Well, off I went, hopped on the train to the next terminal, walked a mile or so to find that I've reached the wrong terminal, I was carry about 15-20kg worth of hand luggage and my weaken body wanted to give up so many times. Imagine, I walked from one end of the terminal, only to walk back to the point where I got off the train some 10 minutes later. I was all sweaty.
Waited for an hour or so before I could get on the plane. The plane was full. Every seat was taken. In the plane, flashes of memories flashed past my mind during that 8-hour-long journey. I hardly slept a wink.
When I touched down Melbourne. It took me, 1-2 hours at least, to check-out and to wait for my luggage. When I got out, there was my new friend, Samuel and this other girl Sarah. They took me to their place, which is partly my place right now as I'm sleeping in their living room.
A new life has begun for me and this blog shall have a new title in the near future.
