Adik-adik, When You Want to Go Travelling, What's The First Thing That's Supposed to be on Your Checklist...??

Hmmm... Let me see...
Money?? Check!
Clothes?? Check!
Toiletries?? Check!
Flight ticket?? Wait, where is it now?? Owh.. there! Check!
Handphone, MP3 and charger?? Check, check, check!!
Notes??(konon-konon untuk study kalau ada masa free) Check!!
Laptop??(takut kena curik. Mana la nak tahu kalau-kalau flasher tu bertukar profession jadi pencurik kan...) Check!!
Serunding??(makanan senang untuk dibawa travel oleh anak-anak Melayu diluar negara) Check!!

Hmmm... Think that would probably be it.
Ok, off to Dublin!!
Since my house was quite far from the bus station in Cork, about 35minutes walk, I went out of the house early, even took a cab when I reached town and thought I wasn't able to make it at the pace I'm going(my foot is not 100% well yet, so my power walk pace is reduced), and still missed the 10am bus. I almost never make it in time for buses at my preferred time.
(Note to self and other Corkians: If you think you're already late and most probably would miss the bus, then you're most of the time right. Cause the bus service here is super punctual and the traffic and road in Cork is like crap. So, even if you took a cab, it'll take much longer compared to if you just walked. So, just save your money)

But, no fret! There's another bus coming the next hour.
So, went on that bus, and 4 hours later, reached Dublin.
Sampai-sampai dah pergi shopping dengan Jiha. Haha...

So, lepak-lepak at their house. Ate what Sarah cooked(sedap!!=P). Watched 'Jangan Pandang Belakang' for like 10 minutes before getting totally bored with it(tak takut pun Taq!! tertido-tido lagi adelah...) and teman Jiha and Alisa tengok "KAMI" and swooning over Abu. *sighs* haha...
Then, when we were about to go out to go and play PS2, sebenarnye nak kena bincang pasal Australia trip, at Ammar's house, tiba-tiba cam terkeluar topik pasal PASSPORT!!!
And it just hit me so suddenly! I was like: SHIT!!! Lupe bawak passport!!!!! Haish...

So, even with my constant reminders of how laDDu(Cauliklaffter's polite way of saying boDDo) I was, forgetting the most important thing to bring when you want to go travelling, I still had to go back to Cork to get it.
4 looong hours back to Cork and 4 hours back again to Dublin. Buang masa betul!!!(and not to mention money!! Boleh beli baju sehelai ok?? Haish~~)
It's a good thing that I noticed I didn't bring it today instead of tomorrow or the day we're going to go to Paris or even worst at the airport cause the whole trip would definitely be called off!!
So, alhamdullilah for that.

Moral of the story:
1) Make a proper checklist before going anywhere!!
2) Suggest to the Irish government to build a bullet train or something that goes 400km/hour from Cork to Dublin so that it wouldn't take 4 loong hours to reach.
3) Make a necklace and attach my passport to it and wear it everyday. Haha... Yeah right.
