Plane twooooo
Bloggybloggyblog.
Been on the second flight for a while now. It's an eight hour flight, and we have five hours 20 mins to go. This plane is far far nicer than the other one - it's more spacey and light, looks more posh and the seats are more comfy. No sitting opposite the kitchinette for me this time! It's much better. What's even nicer is that the televisions actually work on this thing! Not only that, but they're touch-screen too. I have already enjoyed Tangled and plan to watch either the Lion King or Beauty and the Beast next.
Instead of being on the right hand side of the plane, this time I'm in the middly-bit. It means I can't look out the window, but I appreciate the luxuriousness of this plane so I'm not really complaining. The guy I'm sitting next to is more friendly than the other two as well. So happy times all around.
It wasn't difficult to navigate KL, and everything proceeded smoothly and without hitch. The food is nicer on this plane too - I had a plain omelette this time, although there was this weird kind of ckicken-sausage-thing that I had a bite of but disliked. Another french-bready-thing, a glass of orange juice and I was sorted. Still got my Starburst, Skittles and Twix in my bag so wont go hungry any time soon. You get a blanky on your seat as well which is handy as my thighs are cold. I'm glad I've got long travel socks on though, they're keeping my calfs warm :)
Still got this rotten cold though. I've been sneezing for ages, and I'm very glad I forgot to give Dad his handkerchief back.
Oh yeah, and at KL I had a quick Skype call to my mum and sister who were still awake at silly o'clock. That was nice, and I think it gave them piece of mind to see that I was still in one piece and a complete Merlin still. I'm glad thing Netbook has a webcam, it'll make things far less stressful.
So Nicky and Kirsty are gonna pick me up from Brisbane airport tonight. Arriving at around 7:50pm, and apparently it takes about an hour to get through the departure lounge. I just wanna grab my bag and go, but I don't think I'll be that lucky. I also have some Malaysian currency that I need to change to Aussie dollars - I had to give the Starbucks girl a £20note, and felt very guilty that I didn't have anything smaller seeing as it only cost £3. I got RM31 back from that, so I guess 31RM = £17. I asked the girl at Harrods about coversion rates, and apparently £1 is equivalent to RM4.4
So at the moment we're flying over the Bali Sea, just beneath some islands with the names Denpasar, Mataram, and Raba. That means nothing to me, but people can Google them once I put this online later. I might even do that myself.
I just put a Pony sticker on one of the keys on my Netbook keyboard :D Now I has a happy Twilight Sparkle instead of a boring Windows flag. I clearly know how to live. On the subject of Ponies, because no blog is a proper blog without mentioning them, I have asked my sister to make sure that she continues to buy the magazines for me. She's under strict instructions not to do the colouring in, and not to remove the free gift, and not to do the puzzles either. They is to be in mint condition for when I arrive back home :) I do believe the next one is available from the 27th of January, O lovely sister of mine! Ta.
Right. Gonna blog off now and pass some more time with a Disney film :') I love being eighteen and a child at heart.

Okay, it's now 11:36pm on the 9th of January. I have arrived. Been at the House of Williams for two hours and a bit, I suppose. By God is it hot. Apparently it's the hottest day of their summer so far. It's sweltering. It's like, you know when you walk into Leisure World? And the humidity there is just like PHWOOM? Well, it's like that. Only with extra phw. Had a tour of the house, and it is loveeely. Been introduced to the swimming pool (only put my feet in, need to be able to experience it properly with lots of time to kill), and also to Wookie, the dog. He's very very friendly, and apparently takes a liking to lots of strangers. He wouldn't make a very good guard dog, bless him. He'd probably lick the theifs to death.
Just unpacking some stuff now, but thought I'd write this whilst it's fresh in my mind. My head is literally all over the place, so I don't know whether I'm coming or going yet. I think the fact that I've been awake for over 24 hours is a good thing, because it means I'm knackered now and am ready for bed, so I shouldn't hacve too much trouble adjusting to the time difference. Once I find out the connection key for the network, I'll pop this blog up.
The flight was much more enjoyable than the first one. I did indeed watch Beauty and the Beast, some Big Bang Theory and an episode of the Smurfs. As such, it went much quicker. Although the landing wasn't as pleasant - my ears really flipped out and got all painful as we started descending, and now even three hours later one of them is still not right and makes a stupid noise every time I swallow, which is very annoying.
Getting out of Departures took forever because I'm too polite to push my way in front of people. Because of this, I was one of the last twelve or so to go through the desks, and Sharon, Nicky and Kirsty were beginning to wonder if I'd been on the flight at all.
Everyone has gone to bed now, and I shall too after I finish unpacking some necessities. Adios, amigos.
