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.

当你爱的人伤害自己 心痛的是爱你的那个人 就好像眼睁睁的看着爱的人走向火堆 再怎样的担忧爱的人还是继续走向 爱的人和爱你的人都各自有主见 但那个方式才是对才是错 跟着爱的人的方式 明明就觉得危险但还需要装作不危险 还是要告诉爱的人危险但爱的人不想知道危险 这就是困难之处 难道真的不做任何努力挽救? 就这样默默让爱的人要怎样就怎样? 理不清对错 爱中不讲理 爱只所以强大是因为真的很难
累计的事件与情绪,不要认为不谈就过去 其实就是吨积,直到忍不住就会爆发 内心是一个小剧场 心里很忐忑,很不平和 甚至有气愤,无奈,很难过 其实就是延生来 心中很抗拒一句话 别打扰你 还有评判接受到的信息 期望我选择独处的时候,对方是接纳的 而不是造成对方不舒服 知道对方是不舒服的,自己也给自己负担 压力下的互动品质特差 深怕我任何的话语再次造成伤害 而我自己情绪状态不好之下,整个过程变得很尬 我潜意识下,我也不知觉做了伤害动作 我到现在才知道 我对别人来说是个地雷 期望别人能够接纳同理我现实状况,逗我笑给我正面力量,但这个要求也许是不合理 我不够好的一面,好像是需要藏起来的 这让我很自卑,自责,因为显现了变成了困扰 我自己也焦虑吧,也表现出没事却也有事 我害怕做自己是被审判被厌烦 写这写这,我理清自己我慢慢变平和了。
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...
