got my own puter back.
considering I started to feel like I couldn't ask to use Lou's, it feels good.
been here for bout fifteen hours. been asleep for much of today and am just trying to stay awake for a few hours if I can, and go to bed normal time to get up for work tomorrow. i feel a bit more refreshed now.
I had a sixteen hour stopover in Dubai. didn't think that was the case, but I certainly experienced miscommunication breakdown. I kinda feel dumb cos i knew I was landing at 12.30 Sunday morn but nothing registered. Everyone kept telling me six and a half hours cos of the stupid 24 hour format I think.
needless to say, I had requested to flight centre I didn't want those long stopovers so will make sure next time. I basically spent my time trying to sleep in the reclining chair that was in the special services room.
I met a blind lady from Germany, and was talking to a young girl who had to be supervized as well (as she's travelling at 14). I got her msn details as she enjoyed my company.
seven more hours from 2 AM Dubai time, I was in Melb. plane was dilayed by about one and a half hours.
I think I did dose a bit which meant I was a bit more refreshed than normal.
Got assistence through customs and all that jazz, declaired my lollies and then met up with Dad who'd come to pick me up. we drove back to my place where Nan was staying. she said she'd mind Heartly to let me sleep in the following day. After letting my ppl know I got home finally, I went to bed.
I woke briefly this morning and had a chat to Nan, then I turned the puter on and listened to Kath and Kim before falling asleep again, and not getting up til after 5. Anita called in which was nice!
I just went through my case, half out of inspiration from Nan as the jaffacakes I bought had melted (stupid things) and same with a bit of me chocolate! *grrr .. so gave Nan her book and magnet.
of course, in a way, it's nice to be here and see everyone, and it will be easier with me working tomorrow I think, but, I did leave behind my second home. The fact that I have been so mobile around there has made me fall in love with country even more and I have tried to express this to so many people.
As per usual, it would seem, I would have crying fits on and off throughout travel home.
from Dubai to Melb, I was sitting at a window seat, and at one stage, "they" forgot to hand me some biscuits. that set me off; but only cos of the bad way I was feeling. I rang the bell and they gave me some.
not going to write too much publically but am going to research into some possible work experience or something; going to contact RNIB and have a chatter to them and see if they can direct me.
Was talking to a guy next to me from London to dubai who's from Perth and now got a job in u.K and was just going back to visit a sick friend for a few weeks. He, and some other aussies i got talking to at Heathro, only had a two hour stop in Dubai. at least travel is so much shorter then and more pleasant.
Before my long nightmarish trip back, we spent the day with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
internet_king and Andy B came and met up for the first time. He's a funny guy, Lol! After a lot of jokes and more jokes, Lou came to Heathro with me, after my insisting she didn't have too, and her insisting she did. Lol
that day was when i bought the jaffacakes, which are half ruined but still sorta in tact.
got my german lollies now in my wardrobe.
I heard of the passing of Ileen (Aunt Julie's good friend) from the cancer that she'd been battling with for ten or so years! poor thing; she had a lot of her insides taken out, and she still didn't want to go and had expressed the thought with Julie not long before she died! it'd be terrible!
that's about all I think! got so much friends page to catch up on, but think I will copy and paste a lot of it into notepad for work.
Ppl kept calling me on skype today as it comes on automatically with puter, but was in no mood to converse. Lol
more later
til next time, RdFreak
P.S. as I hardly listen to radio any more, I was introduced to so many new songs over there I didn't know existed, fell in love with them, and Lou made me a CD. Now, Lou and my song for this trip will be .. "Gym Class Heroes- Cupids Chokehold".
Lol I totally didn't know it'd been made into a cover. Lol it's funny.
Lou has made msn sounds for when I sign in and out with the beginning of this song, and she reversed the clip for when I sign off, pretty coolies! :)
I also fell in love with Mika's grace Kelly when only hearing it for the first time.
then there's the new song from take that! :) oooh yeah, good stuff! :)
P.P.S. i so needd to write to my neighbours community and get the goss on the new Ramsay street that I have missed out on, otherwise I will feel totally lost tomorrow.
Here's hoping for an exciting life?
