Sooo... I'm really here! It's a bit surreal still because it all seems entirely too normal.
The flight was uneventful... had a wee bit of turbulance over europe but that was all... and the guy sitting next to me climbed oer my chair (stepping on the armrests and everything) everytime i tried to sleep. Becuase I'd refused to sleep at what was 2pm inthe afternoon for me as the plane said i should...
I tried to NaNo... did some NaNo... but since the muses crappd out when i opened my laptop I wasted most of the batteries on playing pokemon... aaaand i got about 1300 words on the laptop which won't live ofr me just yet... and a whole page of long hand but lack of elbow room kinda buggered me over on both accounts.
Aaand thne i arrived at Kualal Lumpur hihc was ridiculously easy to navigate... thanks to the lovely plus shaped construction of it...so I wandered around wanted to buy these awesome looking ramen at an actual ramen shop but they didn't speak english very well at all so I didn't know if they would accept either of my types of mickey mouse moneys... plus i had no idea what the hell they were all chucking in there and the concept of vegetarianism seemed ot puzzle them most of all... so I thanked them ofr the info and continued on... lacking ramen noodles sadly... I shall try again on my return flight.
Then got back on the plane which all went a lot quicker than at Amsterdam because much less phobia I'd bring a bomb to Perth than to Kuala Lumpur apparently... wherei had ot unpack everything at schiphol I could leave everything in the bag at KL and no one cared... boarded wit ha whole lot of poms all coming from england and a bunch of asians so I was about the only dutch person left... aaand flew ot Perth whih was more uneventful.. ended upwatcing the kiddy movies of the inflight entertainment set because I'd seen all the others just baout. Can recommend Jack and Jill for those curious, it was actually kinda good but it's a girly sorta movie but not overly so... just niiice movie..
Got to Perth I figured I'd be quick try ot beat them all got stuck in the aisle at ifrst then when i was out made up ofr the loss by speedhicking past the tiny tiny asian people and the short chubby poms. Got fairly quickly ot thep assport check breezed through that headed ot the carrousels of baggage claim and spend 40 minutes waiting for the conveyer belt to evne start moving and spewing bags. There went my headstart. There was another flight arriving at the same time so the queue to customs was getting fucking EPIC. It took me another 30 minutes or so for my bag ot finally get to me.
Then into the queue for customs, i brought strawberry sugar water for Bexx which needed hcecking when they saw i was a horse trainer they wanted to see my horse equipment... i'd oly brought my spurs but since thye were used they needed treatment whihc would cost 30 dollars hiwle i can buy new ones for the same price os I told them to just chuck them... too bad, 'tis a shame because they were nice but oh well.. shit happens.
Found bexx fairly quickly because Perth is a tiny airport... her brother gave us a ride home, I dragged my stuff into my room got the tour "And this is your room it smells of wet carpet." and that WAS the tour of the place... =P
Then i walked around a bit to stretch my legs while not killing my knees and Bexx did some laundry and then we headed off to the ponies! And I met Trev and WIll and Emma and the shitty litle pony who hasn't got a name i think and Baby the shetland
and i ended up riding Will.. how was... amusing, sooo amusing haha. And everyone came to see him trot because OMG! he was trotting!
Had a talk about him and the other horse,s helped Bexx walk him around a bit but he'd already worked pretty hard and scared Bexx by trying to toss me... Ended up staying there until almost 9pm.. at hiwhc point we realized we didn't have much food so bought out the gasstation with junkfood... and while Iwas supposed ot og to bed early to seriously beat jetlag we ended up chatting nad talking until like 4am... then wnet ot bed where I fought wit hsheets and pillows (or lackthereof) and awoke at 10:30... but my body was in denial and went "nuuu!" and slept on until 11:40 or so... and now I'm here!
It took me 20 minutes ot make my sandwich(which is defrosting painfully slowly) and 2 minutes ot break into Bexx' laptop... xD
Oh and it RAINED! Yesterday and again today! I picked hte coldest bloody day to arrive at it was only 24 degrees and today it looks grey and dreary...! D8
I brought rain wiht me!
No cut, I'm lazy, deal with it. And i do think I beat jetlag... buahahaha!
