'Safe and sound! Yeepee!'
I looked around and scanned the whole arrival area. You see. I'm back from Japan after a year away for Student Exchange Program. Nothing change much in me, I still looked the same in my appearance. From other people's naked eyes, I'm still the fat me. Standing almost 6ft; long straight black hair which I had curled this morning before my departure; my now fairer skin with the help of Japan local products; dark brown eyes; full lips; and a 5XL body that makes me look over 100 kilograms.
The immigration officer smiled at me. He looked at my passport and back at me.
'Welcome back miss.'
'Thanks, good to me back.' I replied and walked away as the person behind me moved forward for his turn.
The arrival passengers from Japan were not so packed as it's still school season. It's pretty obvious the activity around here slowed down compared to the holidays season. During that time, the tickets would cost you a fortune even though to just the nearest stop. Lucky me for getting the lowest price possible. It's not like my family didn't have the money for it. But for savings purposes, I would rather spend less in things like this and save for future bigger things. That's just me.
However, I'm back to my hometown where live will be easier and closer to your family. In 'dry-times' they would lend a hand, unlike when you're away. No one would be generous enough to just give you any cash, especially in Japan. When you're not careful enough, you'd be in serious debt.
'oh, sorry.'
I was lost in my own thoughts and bumped into the person in front of me. Well, more like crushed into him.
'hey! Watch where you're going fatty.' He looked pissed off and glared at me. I apologized again and was about to turn away when I saw someone punch his stomach.
'sorry for the rudeness of my friend. It's his fault for stopping and tied his shoelaces. So you were on the same flight with us.'
I dared myself to look up to him and were amazed with his attitude. He was the total opposite of his friend. Well, he was being nice to a fat girl like me and punched his friend for me. But when I looked briefly into his eyes, I saw laughing eyes that looked down on me.
Damn jerk! Just laugh and shout out loud that a fat girl lost her way and crashed into your friend. Don't try to act nice while laughing inside. I apologized once more before leaving those two jerks. Once I was about 20 steps away, those two jerks did laugh out loud. Ignoring the jerks, I went out to the arrival hall. I just wished to see my family and friends again. Being away made me missed them. Miss them a lot.
Upon entering the hall, I could hear and see people shouting, laughing, hugging, jumping and even crying. What a sight. Most of them would then leave with smiling faces.
I stopped when I feel someone had hugged me from behind. I could also feel someone else hugged me. When I turned around, it was my nieces. All three of them were beaming and laughing. When I looked around, I can see my family had gathered for my arrival. I went to them and received hugs, kisses and pats from everyone. We had also taken our leave and went back home.
The first week of my arrival home was packed with activities and gathering. Luckily I had sent my stuffs a week early, so I travelled home light. However my room was packed with luggage that I had sent. All of them were arranged in one side of my room. On the night of my arrival, I had stayed up late. I had opened my luggage, searched and sorted the things out. I had also packed the souvenirs to give away to my family.
After arranging all my stuff away, my room looked back to before I had left. Tired from all the packing and pressure from the flight, I had dropped down to my comfortable queen-sized bed and passed out. My first week of arrival was a blur with all the activities. All I can remember were the laughter and love from everyone.

After one month
'morning sis. Mom wants you in the kitchen.'
My three years- younger brother had banged my door and woke me up. He also inherited my mother's black hair and dark brown eyes -but mine was lighter color- He had grown taller over the year, thanks to my father's tall gene which both of us had also inherited.
'faster!'
I grunted and threw my pillow at him, making him closed the door and run back to the kitchen.
I'm starting my undergraduate studies next month, so I need to sort things out and prepare for my admission.
Great! Now I can meet up with my friends and make new ones. Hey! I think I forgot to mention my girlfriends. We're going to the same university but with different courses. Well, even though we had chose different paths, we can still hang-out and enjoy our new 'UG' (undergraduate) lives. Each one of us had our license and car. So it's easier for us to get to and from campus.
Today's the day we will go shopping! We had planned this last week. This week is the preparation week since next week will be the start of our orientation. Hope things would go smoothly...........
