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.

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...

Full stop is not a Stop

My study has come to the full stop. After the submission of my final year project, I thought I will be delighted, yet I wasn't. I was apathetic. No more motivation to complete it, I already forgotten my achievement goals, I have given up. During the phase of life, I felt Life is just ain't about perfection. Imperfection in life is the essence of our growth. In order to grow, old proverb saying "no pain, no gain", it indeed applies to everyone of us. Being through thick and thin, sweat and tears, I started to realise that adaptation to sudden change is incredibly important. For instance, we have a goal to get a First Class Honour in our degree program, but our result speaks no to us. Is it show that we are stupid? Nope, it only tells us that it is a piece of paper which might granted us to obtain better job, yet which class you get is not the guarantee to get a better job. The end of college life, is the start of _______ life. People will fill in the blank themselves....
