Catch this flight

DayOne.

I will state now, i was an idiot for not sleeping before we left, i had spent all morning/night trying to unlock my iphone which i don't think i succeeded in :( I think i had about an hours sleep? TERRIBLE!

Anyways ... Late start, our flight was at 2:30pm so we thought we had plenty of time to do stuff before heading to the airport. So my sister had to go to the bank and i needed to pop by woolies to buy some stuff. Such simple tasks, yet we still took forever to get it done. Our plans to leave the house to head to the airport by 11, failed miserably. by 11:30 my sister's boyfriend was still at home, oh how unorganised we were! No biggie tho, we would still make it to the airport on time, but it would mean we missed out on pho for lunch with my older sister, brother in law and papa :( check in was quick as. Lady behind the desk exclaimed that we were the first bunch who actually had a decent amount of luggage with us, she were worried that seemed suspicious. she laughed and joked that they would be more suspicious than us.*

So check in was done :D so we wandered the airport looking for a place to eat, new airport is too different for my liking :( LMAO we walked the opposite direction from the "foodcourt" boooooo. LOL so hunger just grew. We decided on thai cuz it was more of an eat in dining area. I had my favourite, pad see ew, just cuz. i didn't mind it, cuz it wasn't sweet :D but yeah besides the point. It then dwelled on us that in 2 hours we'd be leaving sydney! I haven't spent more than a week away from the parentals, so i was already missing them. At one, my sister and brother in-law had to return home in time to pick their kids up from school so i hugged papa once more and assured him we'll return home safe in 5 weeks time.**

So the family unit left. thus, my sister, her boyfriend and i (struggled to) make our way to the departure gate xD***

I honestly think i look like a mess. Which was only to become exacerbated as the journey continued (i blame my lack of sleep xD). Anyways, i'll try skip over the flight part as best i can.

FACTS and Whines

1. i dropped my side bag containing my macbook just before reaching the security check, i was devo! i just wanted to get out of there so i could find a seat to check if my poor baby was still okay.
2. sydney to hong kong was an annoying and long 9-ish hour flight
3. no fresh air in connection from hong kong airport to london, close to two hour wait in the stuffy airport :(
4. i thought the hong kong flight was long, i was wrong. jumped on the connecting flight only to be told the flight was 12 hours and 20 something minutes, FUUUUUUUUU!!!!
5. guy next to me sneezed every few seconds, waking me up from my precious sleep, he also didn't get out from his seat at all, i needed to pee >.< and stretch my legs so bad!
6. i hate aeroplane food, sister ate everything i didn't which was almost everything 
7.  made it out alive from the flight, with a horrible migraine, eugh
8. arrived at heathrow at 5am london time D: 
9. that makes the entire commute around 24 hours, with no contact with fresh air or sunlight .. i am not a happy camper 
10. exiting heathrow took many series of ramps, elevators, stairs, twists and turns
11. customs was a breeze and before we knew it we were out of heathrow

I'll leave it at that, haha. We had breakfast in heathrow to delay some time xD**** Anyways, i'll leave you with the headlines for that day, hehe.

*if going to london, and you plan on using the underground PACK LIGHT! many stop on the tube don't have lifts, just stairs!
** i miss my mumma and papa :(
*** i definitely OVERPACKED! ~ 1 suitcase (checked), 1 carry-on, 1 camera bag, 1 side bag (with macbook) >.< over 20kgs +
**** the place we booked our apartment at wasn't open till 9am, so we had plenty of time to kill
