Since I will be leaving in 2 weeks time to Canada to continue my studies, I can barely contain the excitement of leaving. The thought of living on my own in a foreign land with loads of new things is something I look forward to. Sure, there will be some hiccups and I don't expect the journey to be a smooth sail, but I can't picture myself in any other way, studying outside Malaysia.
I enjoy traveling. Be it road-trips, plane rides, or boat rides, I can safely say traveling has become a part of me. Credits to both of my parents who introduced me to the world of packing, passports, and planes at the age of one. I was blessed with a mother who used to work for an airline company (cheaper tickets), and a father whose hometown is across the South China Sea (we frequently visit his hometown every Hari Raya/Eid). Plus, both of my parents used to travel overseas for business purposes. Combine the above, and you will have a recipe for a frequent flyer.
People say its the journey that matters, not the destination. I do not disagree with this entirely, as I do look forward to both the journey and the destination. During long journeys, take the opportunity to read up on a good book, immerse yourself in hundreds of songs, and taking pictures (both mental pictures and real pictures) of how the journey is like. Striking up conversations is good too, but I don't really talk that much to others, I'm pretty much lost in my own world.
Have a pleasant flight to Canada!
