...and humidity... :) Nothing quite like feeling sticky as soon as you leave the airplane... and I was still all wrapped up in my gear from the cold in Perth...
There were no tears at my departure...I think mainly because I was leaving one home to go to another... I only felt sad when my waiter's friend got confiscated... :( It was given to me at my first waitering gig...and had been with me for throughout my career as a waitress while I was earning some extra money at uni... It never failed me once. So much sentimental value... I know I can go out and get another same one... but it just wouldn't be the same. The new one won't have the same dents and nicks that showed character and wear through the years... I guess 8 years is a long time to hold on to something... Goes to show that you should not pack in a hurry...
While on the plane, I wrote in my journal and drew a pic of it...
Flight and landing was no drama, I couldn't have managed to lug all my bags by myself... what was I thinking!!!? I large handbag, 1 large laptop bag...1 small luggage for carry-on and one HUGE luggage with my clothes and knick knacks that I carried back for mum and dad. No surprise that I was overweight... Anyhoo, I landed at LCCT without much drama, trolley was great. Got to KL Sentral and that's when it got a little tricky...
I really think that the hand of God was in this when the next woman behind me bought a ticket to the same station I was headed to... and she looked decent. So I approached her... Boy, was she nice! She even helped me with my lugging my bags... looked after it, helped me on the train and also into the taxi...and all I felt that I repaid her was her taxi ride home... She told me she was from Sarawak staying with her daughter who was studying in KL...she also told me that her son was studying in Curtin... Alas, I never got her name... She reminded me so much of my aunty in Sarawak, just shorter.
I really felt bless by her kindness... and it was only my first day back in KL.
I wonder what's ahead... :) I look forward to it.
