The day finally came
As Sarah-Marie gobbled her favourite "Xiao-long-Pau" at Cyrstal Jade (Terminal 3), her friends from SJC, SFX and TP made their way to send her off.
Armed with small gifts and warm wishes, they met after the meal for about 90 minutes, snapping pictures as her Grandparents, Godma, Uncles, Aunties, Cousins and family members stood by. Her long await date for Perth was just minutes away, where she will embark on a 30-month course on Communication Studies at the Universaity of Western Australia (UWA).
Together with Kristin Kesavan and Yvette Tey (and accompanied by Dad & Yvette's Mum), the group left with about 18 bags weighing some 120 kgs, they headed for Perth via the past midnight flight to arrive on Monday morning (14 Jul 08).
On arrival, Sarah & Dad took the GREEN LINE, straight out to the arrival hall to be greeted by a cool 8 deg C temperature. It was a refreshing start for the journey. After accounting for everyone and the 18 bags, the UWA pick-up service whizzed the group to St Thomas More College (STMC) where the girls will be residing for the first semester.
The driver just couldn't believe that all 18 bags belonged to just the 5 of us. After being assigned their rooms, all took a walk to visit the campus and the surrounding area. It was a cool start for a new journey ahead.
