Now I'm Here

I cannot believe that I AM HERE !!

It is just like a dream comes true. Well, it is not a DREAM anymore! Because i am FINALLY here!
What am I talking about?

Yeah, in continuation of the last post, I am going to talk about my university journey, here in Pennsylvania State University a.k.a Penn State in the land of a thousands dream (...or so they say), UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!!

So, after all the pains and sufferings that I had to endure throughout my college life in INTEC Education College, Shah Alam, I am finally be able to spread my fabulous wings to fly high to this foreign land.

I am, up til now, still cannot believe that I am here already. Everything is so unbelievable. I wake up every morning, sometimes smiling, sometimes confused, thinking that I am finally be able to step my feet in this land of Uncle Sam. I am so proud of myself that all my hard work pays off.

It is so adventurous to me, who has never been to anywhere outside the region of Malay archipelago (I want to say Malaysia so that it would sound more epic but then I have been to Indonesia once, so yeah what a bummer! (well not really, I like Indonesia actually)), had to travel ALONE from Malaysia to the US and not having any experience traveling in an airplane (forgot to tell, I went to Indonesia by ferry because my mom afraid of height, I mean WHAT?!?). But, alhamdulillah, my journey turned out fine and smooth.

So why did I have to travel alone? Blame the US Embassy for that! Apparently, they were having a hard time to let me get a visa (I mean c'mon, I'm a student), I didn't really know what the issue was but people kept saying that it was because of my name (sound a bit like a terrorist, huh?). So, they finally approved my visa application one day before my scheduled flight, and so I had to postpone my flight to a week after because I needed to wait for the visa to get to my hands (took three days for them to deliver my visa, well not DELIVER, I came to PICK IT UP myself at the courier service headquarter, which was responsible to deliver the visa, because I JUST COULDN'T WAIT any longer okay? Thanks to my friends, Azfar and Asyraaf for accompanying and driving me all the way from Gombak to Petaling Jaya, I couldn't be here without you two, well I could actually, but just let me do the appreciation for you guys, alright?).

After everything was ready (the packing, doa selamat and all), I flew to the States on August 18, 2015 at 11.15pm Malaysian time. Of course, there was drama especially from my mom (well, she is very emotional basically on everything) and it was a good farewell I may say, because I didn't cry at all, if crying in my heart did not count that is.

I don't know what I am babbling about up there and I am so lazy to even read everything so I think I am going to put this post to an end, for now (don't worry people there will be more babble and mumble!).

I'm going to do a bit revision because tomorrow I have a test for my Chinese class. Oh yeah, I should tell you about my experience in my Chinese class. I will tell you later people! Pray for my test alright?

So, Adios Azizos!!!
