it's 14th Oct 2012!

Actually it's already 16th of Oct when I'm writing this. =) And it's chill over here.

I'm writing from Aachen.

We received a call from German Embassy on 1st of October as promised, and we were told that our VISAs are ready. Hahahahaha hahahahahahahaha is the best two words to describe my feeling at that moment if you wanna ask me how do I feel. Thinking back to that moment as I'm writing this paragraph makes me smile.

When the day is getting nearer, the feeling of excited is fading away over time. What replaces the feeling is 舍不得、不舍得。How should I translate this word into English? I knew it's only 6 months leaving my home land behind, and will be back for sure after that, but leaving my parents really doesn't make me feel good. I thank them for their understanding and being supportive all the time, not only moral support but also paying for my living expenses here in Germany. Everything times 4 here, when you read 1€ on the price tag, it actually cost RM4. I convert everything into RM because my parents aren't earning in €.

It was a Saturday night. My parents drove me to my eldest sis's house in PJ one day before the flight. We sleep in one bedroom, me, my dad and my mum. Sharing the same atmosphere for one last night in 2012.

At the airport, in front the departure gate, we hugged, hugged and hugged, and finally we were all in tears. "There will be only me, dad and your youngest sis next year Chinese New Year..." mum said this when she is tearing on my shoulder, and it shattered me into thousand pieces... Me and my mum are the most sentimental one in our family, we cried easily whenever it's related to loved one. My eldest sis and my bro in law left earlier, because laughter and tears are both contagious. My dad and my bf had not shed a single tear that night,

   "why you no cry??" 

Me and my friends ran away from the crowd before we loose control. Like screening a movie, we shouted out our last good bye and ran towards the escalator. It was fun, I think it was fun, but my laughter were mixing with tears. I am on my way to achieve my dream, a dream since 17 years old, and I am leaving my parents, who I have been living together since I were born. MIXED feeling, isn't it?

We kept walking until they couldn't see us anymore, we stopped and wipe our tears away before passing the security screening and passport control desk. One asked, and another answered. "Are my eyes still red? Am I looking normal?" "Okay, you look just alright."

Flight MH016, seat no.C28, 11:55pm.
Sitting in between 4 men, in their middle-age, big tummy, those who flirt hostess making me feeling really sick. big YUK!!!

First meal of the flight was either beef or chicken chop. I chose chicken chop, it served with mashed potato, some carrot balls, broccoli(my favourite) and a bread. I am a pescatarian (A person who eats fish and shellfish but not meat), I left the chicken chop alone and finish the rest. I weren't satiated, but I think I already consumed enough calories. I slept from 3am to 9am Malaysia time. Morning breakfast with a choice of continental breakfast / scrambled egg with chicken sausage / nasi lemak with shrimp sambal. NASI LEMAK with SHRIMP SAMBAL!!! I prayed so hard, hoping no one choose that! But god doesn't heard it, there is only scrambled egg with chicken sausage left when it's my turn. Well, not too bad, at least scramble egg was the main dish, not the chicken sausage. haha, I really thought I have the chance to taste nasi lemak again for last time in 2012.

This is the very first time of mine flying to an Europe country.

45 minutes before landing, there was a short video introducing Amsterdam Schiphol Airport where we going to land on. There I finally got the feeling. I am reaching! Yes, to a land where I have dream for so long. We land on Amsterdam at Malaysia time 1:05pm, 15th Oct 2012. =)

it's 10:35pm, 16th Oct here and it's 4:35am 17th Oct in Malaysia.
