Leaving on a Jet Plane 26.4.08



26.4.08 seem to come too soon. Its time for me to say goodbye to my family and friends here in Malaysia. Making the decision to go UK and leave everything behind was not an easy one. Gave it alot of thoughts and after evaluating the pros and cons, I decided to give it a go.

Started preparing for this trip since end September. Frankly speaking, this trip would not have materialised if I do not have travelling partners. Well, lucky for me, I got 2 of them. So this dream of mine finally became a reality.

Submitted the visa application in December and when I went to collect my results, my hands were practically shaking. Couldn't bear to see what was the result, excitement and fear at the same time. Well, all ends well it seems.

Fast forward 3months later, I am flying off ler. Can't believe it myself either. 3mnths just seemed to zoom past me. I have no time to stop and think what I've been doing so far. Has everything been prepared? Did I leave out anything?? None at all. Just follow with the flow I guess.

I've been crying alot before I leave. I have never been away from home for so long and so far! The furthest that I stay out was staying in campus during Uni. Even that, I go home every weekend. This is a totally different experience for me. Not sure if I am ready for it but told myself, this is the path that I have chosen. Die Die oso have to do!

Mummy cooked plenty of nice food for me. Food that I'm gonna miss for sure. Had a good meal and then it was off to the airport. Sending me off was hard for my elder sister as well as we exchanged words that we usually don't. Though we bicker alot, but I guess blood runs thicker than water. I will keep her advise close to heart.

The scene at the airport was a joyful one. Many of my friends came to send me off. Many thanks to them. Really feel warm to have friends like them. To all my friends, really gonna miss all the gossiping sessions and laughing sessions. Thanks for sending me off yah.

After alot of goodbyes and tears (HeHe, I didnt flood KLIA. Phew!), I finally made my way to the gate. I couldn't bear to look back as tears are already pouring down my cheeks. I can only go forward and forward and forward.

It is indeed a day for me to remember for life.

A new chapter of my life begins...
