I was so excited as my parents sent me to Changi Airport Terminal 3. By the time I got to the airport, many people were there already - shrieking and chatting merrily at the sight of each other. I collected my lanyard and yellow cap from my teacher and got into my coloured group. Soon, we were told to gather in a big group and a big banner was unfurled for a group photo. I can say for the rest too that I felt like mega stars with camea flashes all over my face. I kind of like the feeling of that few minutes of glory up there. Soon, I was hurled to check-in my luggage. I had to wait very long as there were many other people checking in their luggages. I did not mind the waiting as I got to talk to my friends.
Soon, I boarded the plane and I was relieved to find out that I was seating beside a girl. Luckily, there was an aisle seperating me and a boy. The plane took off and all of us waited excitedly to reach our destination,Perth. Most of us fell asleep as it was a midnight flight.
I woke up when I heard the voices of the air stewardess, asking people what kind of drinks they wanted. For me, I just asked for a plain cup of water. After that, they served breakfast.
The plane taxied at the runway and soon all of us were queuing at the Australian Immigration counters. The teachers asked us to fill up the immigration form and they also made sure we did not bring in any food. After I cleared the immigration counter, I went to the toilet to freshen up before boarding the coach to begin our first day in Perth.
