wheeww.. mann.. the last 24 hrs... honestly...! so eventful! lol.

so we got to kansai airport in osaka.. and we waited for a while to check in.. once the gates opened to check in, in we moved to lug all our extremely overweight baggages through. so as it turns out.. i was the last one to check in.. and get this.. i was the ONLY ONE who was overweight.. i wasn't even overweight by a tiny bit.. i was overweight by heeaapppssss!!! i was 37.7kg!!! that's 13kgs over eh.. lol. to check it all in.. i'd hafta pay like 4475 yen per kilo.. i dun even want to know what that adds up to ey.. roughly converted it adds up to arnd AU $600!! lol.. that freaking box. i KNEW that i would be overweight.. but nyeh.. so i was gonna courier the box over.. but thennnn... everyone offered to take stuff for me as hand luggage! so basically.. all of my stuff got distributed to everyone.. and now.. there's a bag missing.. one with all presents inside!!! i really have no idea where it went ey. getting scared. anyway.. that was just the first drama.. once we pulled into hong kong, jas got stopped by customs. since it was a transfer flight, they only checked hand luggage.. buttttt... the shirokens!! and the katana key chain!! all in jas's hand luggage!! fancy that shirokens are illegal in hk. SO. she got stopped.. luckily i saw.. and i went over.. and sorted out the problem. but u noe. they had to call the police.. their procedure thing.. lol. soooo.. i got interrogated by the police!!! hk ppl esp police are soooooooooooooooooo unfriendly!!! i was super scared ey.. the questions they asked... *shiver*.. once heck of an experience i must say..

so.. now i look back on the trip.. and i think about all that did happen and how big and bad it seemed at the time.. u noe, now it all just fits into place and just doesn't seem wrong... i really feel as if all those things that happened.. like the smallness of the rooms and everything.. it was all MEANT to happen.. to teach me a lesson.. before going to japan, even though i didn't realize it.. i was pretty much blessed with EVEYRTHING that i wanted... my parents always provided me with everything i need and more.. so.. going to japan really shaked me up because things were just so different! they seemed bad at the time.. but i think i learnt so many things that.. are just incredibly invaluable. and plus.. think of all that gd food! hehe. my host mum's cooking.. ohhhh... it was SOOO gd! my host dad's too ey. hehe. so.. overall.. i really don't regret going.. it's an experience that i'll never trade and something which i'll remember for the rest of my life.. and that's a gd thing. coz.. if it were soooo crap that i regretted the trip.. then.. that would just be a complete and utter waste of time, energy and money. so i'm thankful. really. i am. =D
