Leaving On A Jetplane

haven`t been blogging much the past coupla days. been super busy packing up for campusa. i can`t say i`m terribly excited though, what with moving out of hall and certain events that happened during our final cheonging session before i left. kinda leaves me more worried about what`s left behind than where i`m heading.

still. here i am. on my way to the 5mth adventure i set out to plan since january. on the bright side, its finally become reality unfolding and i hope this will trully be a memorable and perhaps even life-altering(it better be in a good way!) experience.

i`m at narita airport, tokyo, japan right now. beginning my 5hr transit time blogging to one and all. temperature`s normal air-con, and scenary@s nothing much to speak of. am with jing jing and carol, with whom i took the flight with. they`re pretty nice people, jing jing`s from nie, sporty and chatty gal so there`s pretty much to yak about since we met. carol`s 29 and working already and she`s already assumed what looks like an older sister role. nice to talk to as well and better yet speaks super duper wooper fluent japanese(super impressed) which helps get us around alot. i hope my fluent english will help when we get to the states.

the flight here wasn`t exactly the most comfortable. 6hrs. i tried to sleep but its hard to do so in a sitting position even with the seat inclined to its maximum. in the end jing jing moved to the row behind us which was empty, thereby freeing the middle seat between carol and i. and i curled up on her empty seat like a cold puppy. nice of carol to tahan facing my smeely feet. as much as i didn`t think i had good sleep, both carol and jing jing agree that i sleep like a log. a very dead log. so much so that i missed breakfast completely and the stewardess had to leave a note informing me to inform them when i`ve awoken. haha. and carol couldn`t go to the toilet just because she felt i was sleeping too comfortably and didn`t want to wake me(and THAT`S why i don`t take the window seat). breakfast totally sucked. they served porridge and exactly two mouthfuls of soba. tasted like plastic, but i finished them just because i was hungry. least they gave nice yoghurt.

last night the family sent me off. along with chun and jinde. nice of them to come. though its hard to juggle friends and family especially in burger king. which is why i don`t like people sending me off. ma was a weeping mess. haiz, hate it when females cry. haha. but yeah i promise to take care of myself, ma.

oh well, i`m going for breakfast with jing jing and carol now. will tryta blog as much as possible to keep evryone updated about my current status. i don`t think i`ll be blogging much once i get to camp though. so will just blog as much as i can while i can. everyone do feel free to update me on current events via the comments page yeah?

meanwhile take care everyone. narita airport is nice, but not as nice as changi.
