Spring Graduation day 2

Lepas Emma balik dari toilet dan cakap ramai gila polis berkeliaran, kitaorang sambung tidur balik atas sofa yang bising dengan bunyi kartun purple. Dah mengantuk, tidur aje. 

The next morning, while I was performing Subuh prayer, Emma went to Emirates counter. We would be flying with Emirates from Singapore to Brisbane and Brisbane to Auckland. Later after she came back, she said  "weh, kita kena apply Australia visa sebab kita akan transit more than 8 hours". We could apply for the visa online and pay some amount of money. Emma and me got problem with our cards and decided to seek help from the people behind the counter to do visa application for us since we only need to pay 50 dollar. If we apply on our own, we have to pay 42 dollar. No much different. It was a long process. We have to wait for everybody whose flying with us to check in. Until then, they settle our visa application. We paid 50dollar per person.

While waiting, what else to do? I read. Then we both fell asleep. Bangun. Baca. Sambung tidur balik. Aku dengan Emma, memang tu je lah kerjanya. Sampaikan the guy who helped us with visa application woke us up. Tidur sampai tak sedar diri tau. Then, he said my Australia visa was still valid. I was like really? I think the last time I went to Australia was like a year ago. I was wondering why it was still valid. Or maybe, I applied for 2 years visa before this. So, I got back my 50dollar. Yeay!   

 Book is the best company while travelling. An intellectual way to kill some time. Later, I fell asleep on the sofa, ignoring who ever watching. I'm sleepy. I don't care.

We managed to get in plane on time. Sebabkan aku dengan Emma lambat check in sebab masalah visa, kitaorang tercampak jauh betoi. Takpe. Layankan je. I missed the meal in flight. I was damn hungry. The mat salleh sitting beside me didn't wake me up.Eh, mengharapkan orang pulak kejutkan. Or at least ask me. Dah la dia besar. Tak gemuk tapi huge. Dia curi space aku. Aku pun mengecil. Lenguh 8 jam duduk mengecil.

We arrived in Brisbane midnight at local time. We were the last passenger to pass the custom check. The immigration staff asked why we were so late. We went to the toilet and took photos. Tehee. At the immigration, Emma had to step into a class tube or something like that. Raise both hands up and spread her leg. That procedure was for custom check to ensure you are 'clean'. Better what? During my last visit to Australia, I was picked for random body inspection. It was like this...

Malu seyh. The staff touch every single inch of my body. Imagine that. Seriau tahu. You know what, dalam ramai-rmai orang beratur, aku kena full body inspection. One of the reasons, I'm a Muslim. Maybe. Others were picked too, if they look suspicious. 

Kitaorang sampai Brisbane midnight. So, terus cari tempat nak tidur. Sekali lagi, kali kitaorng je yang ada dalam departure hall sebab like seriously the next flight was in 10 hours, mana ada orang nak check in awal. Kitaorng yang transit ni je lah yang ada. Tidur je tempat yang ada. Terpaksa tidur macam ni sebab takde tempat. Dah sampai Brisbane ni harus la sejukkkkkk. Kitaorng tidur dalam keadaan kesejukan. Tetiba aku dengan Emma terbangun tengah malam sebab tak tahan sejuk. Sejuk yang terlamapau. Dah tak boleh dibendung dengan sweater lagi. Padahal dah pakai baju berapa lapis tu. So kitaorang beralih ke tempat yang sempit. Pergi ke gate betul-betul depan pintu masuk ke kapal terbang. Kat situ warm la sikit.

Gigih sungguh rasa trip kali ni. Bila bangun pagi esok, tengok glass wall kat tepi, I see this. Love it!
