Turning a new chapter in life
July 9 06
A new day begins with adventure ahead which I’m not sure what I’m going to face. I felt very sad coz hav to leave my family back in Kuching. Miss each and every single person in my life for the past 18 years. Feel very sad now. Tears flowing through my eyes. This makes me feel like questioning myself what am I doing now??
I just keep reminding myself that I’m going for my studies nothing other than that. I must face this new challenge just like how I always do. But this is just more difficult. First time leaving my home for a long time to somewhere that I had never been and a place which is total alien to me.
Well, I boarded the plane heading to KLIA. Heard much of it but first time going there. Had a chat with a passenger next to me. She was also a petronas scholar who works for petronas eversince she graduated bout 15 years ago. NOt sure with the num but bout that figure. Ask her few question that has been bugging my mind bout working with petronas. Well it seems to be going well with her. That gives a kind of relieve and inspiration to be determined and be brave to face up with this crossroad.
Being in KL makes me feel like I belong to some village back in Kch. Everything seems to be totally different. Massive jam and gigantic signboards. Everyone is driving carelessly. Lucky to hav my aunt Cat and uncle John in KL to help me. Ofcourse I’m not travelling alone. I got a new soon to be fren who was my friends’ friend travelling with me. We got a map of KL for convenience. We had a tour around KLCC area coz the we are going to Bukit Bintang that nite to watch the final of World cup. Imagine that just arrive already going for my first street party!!!
Had a dinner in the evening at one of the well known chinese shop. Interesting to find that KL people like to eat at road side. Everywhere got mamak stall. Even hav to pay at least RM3 for car park though the road doesn’t belong to them. Hav a very sumptous dinner.
The sun seem to be very bright altough it is already 7pm. If back in Kch already in total darkness.
Before midnight, I woke up from my nap. Everything go just as planned. I got the map n walk to bukit bintang with jing zhi. We’re staying 8 my aunt’s house at ampang. Hav to walk for bout half hour to get there. Everything seems to be very wild. Hitz.fm crews were hosting a NY band concert for the time being. Join in the party. Every1 were shaking their body to the rhytheme of the music.
The nite just pass through so fast. The first half of the game between Italy and France was really exciting with one gol for each team. Then come the make or break moment during the penalty kick. Very exciting. Incredible. Italy scored all five goals. After that, every1 were shouting and cheering each other altough they were supporting the opposite team before that. Got back by 5am in d morning. Wow, my first ever outing at night alone ( with out family member) already break the record of all of you reading this. Well stay tune for my next edition when I discovered more things bout my new life in a big city.
