It's only a couple more hours till I get on that goddamn car and speed off to the airport... the only problem with going off on an overseas trips are... well the packing of stuff... and truthfully it is irrefutably the only task that is worst than doing assignments...
I always find out the frustration involved in packing for overseas trips EVERY year... *sigh... you would probably know by this point that all I'm gonna do in this blog is nag and throw tantrums...
First thing first... make sure that when you are packing you planned the storage ahead from purchasing the goods... see... the thing is you might find that the airplane luggage poilicies have indeed changed... from the previous 30 kg per person to only 20 kg per person... we are talking about Qantas here... and mind you this is frustrating for me since my home country has WAY too many relatives and friends to share the goods with and noticably all my goods are basically chocolates and err... more chocolates... plus some popcorns courtesy of Kernels this year... and do you know how heavy chocolates are?!? They're bloody heavy! And for your information I can't use a luggage coz the luggage itself weighs a ton (slight exaggeration) but honestly... in the end all the things inside that cardboard boxes are going to be spent giving to people!! So much for sharing and caring... and it's like this EVERY year too!! *hicks poor me... oh well... I guess I gotta live with it...
Second when you are packing make sure that you are the only one there packing the stuff... coz you know it wasn't very helpful with a lot of people sharing their opinions on what should go where... and it's annoying! Ok ok... I know that I'm being harsh talking about this... but anyway... if you're really good with packing stuff make sure you're the only one packing it and seal it completely so no one would be able to peek inside and re-assemble where everything are...
Third... hmm... come to think of it there is no definite third but yeah... I guess that's all the nagging and tantrums over... I guess... I know that by the time we get there some of my stuff would probably be removed because all over I have 25 kg worth of stuff in boxes... (which is better than the previous 32 kg of stuff) and I still hate Qantas for having that policy of 20 kg per person... hopefully they will allow me with this slight overweigh of luggage...
wish me luck~

my parents asked us to bring 2 bottles of wine over to dubai each. and cause it was too heavy for the checkin luggage, we had to carry them on our backs onto the plane. that sucked.
good luck and happy flying!
yuni...where ARE you?!! :(
