To the Land of Pies, Steak, and Kangaroos



Hey readers,

Was suppose to upload this last week but due to some things that came up, I had to delay it till this week. But here it is finally  =)


Hi guys/gals,

On the 6th of August my family and I left Malaysia to venture into a land unknown known only as Australia. It was something that I personally was looking forward to after a very tiring year to date. However, there was just one more hurdle I had left to accomplish before I could go on this trip and that was to go through my grade 6 Guitar Exam. I was taking my exam after only around 6 months of having a new teacher, 3 months after learning my pieces, and 2 weeks after going through scales. As it was going to be the last guitar exam I was going to take, at least till I finish my studies, I was determined to give it my best. The morning of the 6th, I was feeling nervous as I did not know what to expect especially having not taken a music exam is the best part of  4 years.
Arriving at the place (It was at Holiday Villa Hotel), I waited for registration at 2.30. But because it was a Friday and the Muslims had their prayer time till around then, the person in charge of registration only arrived at around 2.45 or so. My music exam was supposed to be at 3 but due to this delay it got pushed back a bit. This only added to the nerves and stress of taking an exam. At 3.15 or so, my name was called and I entered the room. After around 30 minutes, I was done! Looking back in retrospect, I probably did not do all too well but it was the best I could do. =)

Once I reached home, it was all about getting ready for the trip. We left the house at around 6.30 as we had to check in at some time around 8-9? I cant really remember though. So yeah, once we reached there we had to wait in line. I tell you, the line for check in was freakishly long ( We used AirAsia). Unfortunately, we did not know about online check-in (More about that in another post) so we had to bear with it.
Halfway through the check-in line
After we checked-in our luggage, we went to McD to wait and so on so forth. Due to some delays, we only left LCCT around 12-ish I guess? I'm not gonna continue on about what is on the plane yada yada. All I can say is that I slept mostly but managed to take 1 shot which I really like.
And here it is:
This was nearby Aussie taken at 5.40am =) The sunrise was on the other side =(
