♥ Alhamdulillah...
Alhamdulillah I have reached my destination in one piece and without any trouble. Though I had to find my way to the final destination, I had no trouble at all. People were helpful enough helping me.
It all started in Ramadhan last year when Education@UK had their annual exhibition in Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre. I went browsing through several universities gathering information regarding courses offered and other useful information I might need. Back then, I thought the timing was way ahead. And it was the 17th of Ramadhan that I did all those things.
In December, I had to attend a course to prepare myself to the academic world. Being the ONLY administrator, I felt a bit out of place. With no knowledge at all about research and preparing a proposal PLUS defending the proposal, I was one of the weakest participant. I kind of freaked out. But the organizer told me not to worry since I'll be enrolled in a program in coursework mode. That kind of eased my worries.
Early this year, I started to apply universities. And remember the course that I went to which I could not finish the jungle tracking and I NEARLY fainted on top of the hill? That was another compulsory course taken for the final destination.
So after all the events, I thought I had plenty of time preparing myself for the departure, only to find that I was wrong! I cannot imagine a friend of mine who did almost every other thing except the preparation course to the academic world in the same time I did, and the others, only to be completed in July! She had to report on the 1st of September! I, myself with all the others done, took about 6 months to settle everything else kind of took the breath out of me!
Anyway, I arrived this morning and took a cab, finding my way in this new country and environment after somewhat having a miscommunication with people here. Well, at least I felt very confident and independent doing things alone in a foreign environment. What an achievement for me. Hurrah!! Luckily my new housemate was at home and not on-call. So, I arrived at the doorstep, with one suitcase, one hand luggage and one laptop, knocking on the door. She greeted me and I stepped in the new house that I'll be staying for the year.
Here I am, all alone tonight and being jet-lagged, I need time to adjust my biological clock for the time now in Malaysia is way past my bedtime that is 4.50am and sahur time, where as the local time here is only 9.45 pm.
I promise you that I'll post up pictures of my new place as soon as I get the chance to snap the pics. I wanted to do it today, as I arrived but a friend back home told me not to. It'll be that I am too eager to do that and I have a year to take them. Oh well, what can you say if your hobby evolves around photography right?
Cheers!
