Arrived in UK

It's been a terribly busy day for me in Cardiff. Surprisingly, I only slept an hour in the plane and another in the coach, and I'm still very energetic at the moment.

Hey, guess what?! My tears did not manage to flow out at all when I bid farewell to my family before entering the departure gate. What a miracle. I could feel it coming out soon when Dad and Mum hugged me though. Only a tear or two after I went in...but the thing is, my parents didn't get to see it. Hehe..

The flight was quite good, but I just couldn't get to sleep. I spent the time watching movies and listening to music. And always thinking about food, food and more food...bah. Oh yes, talking about food, I think SIA's meals for economy class is really good. I haven't had one that tasted terrible yet for the numerous flights I have taken over the years. Their service seems to suck at times though, but fortunately, the crew on this flight wasn't too bad.

There was a medical emergency during the flight. There was this very elderly man who went unconscious, and the crew had to ask if any doctor or medical personnel on board. I felt EXTREMELY helpless. I wish so much that I could go over and help. But I'm only a medical student. I can't handle situations as intense as this yet. The only help I could offer was to provide stethoscopes and other medical equipment which I've got in my hand luggage, which unfortunately was not needed cos the doctors who volunteered to help had a stethoscope. And you know what? It's a Littmann Cardio III steth. Sheesh...mine's the inferior Littmann II. I was then sitting on my seat, telling myself that one day, I'll be useful during such situations. I'm not gonna sit aside and feel helpless again.

I was very very happy when I saw Jon at Heathrow. He had gone to the airport all the way from Notts to help me with my luggage and accompany me to Cardiff! It was his plan since dunno when, and he did let me know his travel details. I'm sure he didn't sleep well on the coach and didn't have bfast, so I packed half my flight bfast for him :)

He didn't sleep well again on the coach from the airport to Cardiff, and did not rest at all after we arrived cos we went straight for lunch, to the housing agencies, and to the city to buy some necessities.

Then now that we're finally back in my house, he knocked out immediately. I did my unpacking and clearing of my room while he's aslp. I bet he must be so tired cos I wasn't very quiet with my unpacking, and I can still see him sound aslp and snoring at times.

Haven't had dinner too. I'm feeling pretty hungry, but I just don't dare to wake him up. I think he might end up sleeping till the next morning. Intended to bring him to the Chinese restaurant where I used to work in for dinner tonight cos he wanted chinese food, however, maybe we might end up eating takeaway instead. Wonder what he prefers...I'm worried that if I go buy it myself, he might not like what I ordered.

*Dilemma for a while*

Ok, I think I shall wake him up in 15 mins' time... or else if he gets up in the middle of the night, he'll be famished and there's nothing that he can eat (I haven't gone to buy groceries yet).

Very excited about tomorrow manz! Gonna go shopping with him in the city..hehe..yay!!!! Might catch a movie and go to Chinatown for a nice dinner too...slurp! :D
