Flying to "Pound" land

13th September 2010 on 7.30pm, she flied to pound land alone. She took Emirates, and managed to hold 2 tickets - Kuala Lumpur to Dubai and Dubai to London. Expectedly, she didn't manage to hold her tears, her tears dropping like pipe water.

She wiped off her tears, took the train, checked in, and finally sat in Emirates. The seat wasn't comfortable, she can't fall into sleep. It was like a year in the plane, wondering when did the plane could land in. You You, my beloved bear forced to bear with my sticking and teary face all the time. He accompanied me throughout the suffering trip.

She managed to reach Dubai at 10.20pm, which is 3.20am in Ringgit land. She got to wait for 4 hours in this superb airport. She spotted an empty area, she sat down and luckily was able to surf internet. Most importantly, her beloved pal accompanied her, called her and sms her throughout the journey.

She got no extra energy to walk around in the airport. After a while, she felt asleep on You You. A long waiting day, finally at 2.30am, which is 7.30am in Malaysia she managed to depart to pound land.

Carried with exhausted body, she slept non-stop. She finally can catch up some sleep. However, she did not enjoy at all. She knew this is a one way ticket.

7am on 14th Sept 01, which is 2pm in ringgit land - the Emirated arrived pound land. It took 2 hours to clear my visa and collect my luggage. She still got to wait for 2 hours for coach to fetch her to her university in Plymouth.

My first spending in pound was in London airport. I got myself a bar of chocolate, a bottle of water and a sandwich. Conversion made me hesitated to spend.

The weather was alright, roughly 16'c. She felt pleasant with the temperature, but again had to travel for another 4 hours. The whole journey she felt she was still in Malaysia due to the greenish scenery, as can be seen in Malaysia except the land of lamb and cows.

Couple of hours later, she saw the signboard of city centre. The city is beautiful, buildings with bricks and stones. She managed to reach University of Plymouth at 4pm (11pm in Msia). Settled down at roughly 7pm (2am).

It was such a long days for her. She has phobia to flight/travel for hours.

Gladly, she came with love, support and encouragement. She felt sorry for letting families and friends worried about her. She posted status in facebook, perhaps she was lonely and needed attention. She was touched by fantastic response from people.

Especially my family are the one giving me full support. Thank you very much.

房间

锁在房间里,自己一个人的空间。。 享受着自己的气味。。 房间,是我逃避的避难所。。 小时候,我会在黑漆漆的房间哭泣。。 让眼泪自由的掉落, 不敢痛快地哭,因为会被骂。。 会把自己藏在被单里默默的哭泣 所以,只有我的床能够感觉到温温的湿度。。 也许,这是从小养成的习惯, 长大了,还是觉得房间是我的私人空间。。 因为,房间才能让我把情绪抒发。。 特别是负面的情绪。。 现在,有股冲动, 不想出门,只想待在房间里。。 就算发呆。。 我想,与世隔绝。。 只是与亲近的人联络。。 逃避自己。。 不想面对自己。。
Recently learnt about emotion triangle, it said human tends to suppress core emotion, and manifested as either a defense or inhibitory emotion. The emotion that we tends to inhibit are shame, guilt ... There are fear and inferiority that governs my heart - I have to learn to address and admit my feelings better, and make a decision to communicate or set a boundary. It is hard to actually do so, and I know after I have done it - I can sense my guilt and shame. It is like a vicious cycle.  I have to make a promise to myself - be mindful, be steady and let my head clears. Don't react much...But at the same times I am glad that I did say something. I did express myself. I did feeling less intense. I treated it as a progress.  Anyway I felt sorry of the people that I hurt - when I am still a human with sin...

失眠

辗转难眠,睡不好,又睡不着。。 少了风扇的旋转,地板还是冰冷的。。 我的手,也是。。 冰冷的手,为何没有冰冷的心呢? 脑袋特别的清醒,但是却给了我一双疲惫的眼睛。。 事情总是没有两全其美, 我要入眠,却失眠了。。 我要头脑简单,却更复杂了。。 我要。。却得到不要。。 没想到,嗜好就是睡觉的我,也会失眠。。 失眠并不好受,有理由的失眠更加的不好受。。 理由,这也许更本并不是一个理由。。 死脑袋,又发生故障。。 让我睡吧,我不要有头脑,我不要有思绪,我不要有情感。。 原来,失眠就是这样。。
