Last minute arrangements

Yesterday night I received a phone call from Alvin. The phone call went something like this:

Me: Yo, bro wassup.

Alv: Hi. I have to ask you something.

Me: Yup, shoot. Hey aren't you suppose to be on your way to Sydney by now?

Alv: Ya. I'm at KL Sentral now, on the way to KLIA. My flight is at 10 pm. Hmmm, aren't you supposed to be at the fireworks thing at Putrajaya?

Me: (-_-)" .. something came up so had to ffk.

Alv: When you went to Sydney you had to have a Visa right?

Me: (0_O!) Of course. I travelled on a business visa. But I checked for you when Mike called from Australia and you have got a ETA business visa already, so you should be A-OK.

Alv: Erm .. ok. Thats all, right ? I don't need anything else?

Me: You should be fine. Don't worry about it.

Alv: Ok, thanks. See ya you in Sydney 3 weeks time! I've brought all my sports stuff and ready for action.

Me: Ya, have a safe trip :)

Half an hour later ... *ring *ring

Me : Hey! aren't you suppose to be getting on the flight already?

Alv : Err, soon. I have one last thing to ask you. When you arrive at Sydney, do you need to show them anything? I don't think, I have printed or prepared any documents at all!

Me: (0_O!) It should be alright i think .. It is all electronically in the system (though I did bring a whole bunch of printed Visa forms and letters just in case - you never know with all these computers - but I don't think that information would have done anything to help settle Alvin's realisation he didn't really know what was required to enter good old Aussie moments before he was boarding!). They probably wouldn't need anything more from you unless you are caught stashing some dodgy items in your luggage.

Alv: Hmmm (silent for a short time - I also went hmmm - I could visualise him going over the things in his luggage: dodgy item 1 - check, dodgy item 2 - check!) Things like drugs or explosives. Yaya all those terrorists nowadays. Ok, see you in Aussie. Bye!

Me: Yup, take care dude. Bye!

Sigh, one word - "UNCERTAINTIES". People who know will understand what that means but I won't elaborate more on that. Hopefully I don't see Alvin back in the office on Monday :p. Anyway I've got some news that I "will" be on the way to Sydney soon, so will see how it goes. Safe trip and all the best, Alvin!
