Oh my god. I have been MIA. I know. Friends thought I have been kidnapped by the Nimonster or some other kind of monster here in the big US of A.

Fact is, I’ve been… adjusting to this big different city. Been sick as the body gets used to a different continent’s weather and environment, been job hunting (let me take this opportunity to say how much I hate job hunting, thus i miss Pearsons so much!!!), been going to and fro US govt offices ie Social Security while incompetent workers give me wrong information gaaahh I am still pissed about that but anyways… here are some pictures of my departure from Melbourne and transit at Auckland. By the time I arrived at LA, I was too jaded to take any pictures, and hauling two 20kg bags by yourself from a pretty fast-moving carousel is damaging both emotionally and physically.

I took Air New Zealand, the only airline that allowed me a 18th month open ticket. Surprisingly the service was not too bad, the food was good, seats a bit narrow but I chose an ailse seat so I had ’space’ the stretch me legs. Most of the flight attendants were MALE. That was sure a surprise. Oh, and flying on Christmas day has its perks, like extra piece of chocolate caramel frog with your meal. heh

Let me introduce you to MOCHI. :) This was taken when I was transitting at Auckland airport and had time for a cup of coffee. Mochi is a farewell gift from eujin, it doesn’t have a gender so I’m calling it “it” from now. I have decided Mochi will accompany me through my trip. hehe. Mochi’s name is pretty self-explanatory, it is white and looks just like a Mochi only with eyes. (If you don’t know what a Mochi is go google it!)

Ok, back to job hunting and apartment hunting for me. :( I will try to update more as soon as I can. I have a few blurry Vegas pictures yet to post.

Take care folks and once again, I haven’t been abducted aite.
