    When I left Malaysia to further my studies, I was so sad to leave behind friends and family. I was like a homesick puppy. After several years, I didn't want to come home. My parents attended my convo and practically had to drag me back home. :(

    Ok, I HAVE to comment, 'cause I see a lot of coincedences in this entry!!!

    1. I prefer to sit in the lower deck of the bus too! So much more comfortable. And I haven't had the luck of being exposed to so many other different types of passengers, 'cause 9/10 times, I get the mobile phone guy! The guy who talks so loudly. -_- I swear, the last mobile phone guy I met, I knew his whole life story 'cause he felt compelled to call EVERY SINGLE FRIEND OF HIS to relieve his life story-- from his first crush to how he went to s'pore to work. -___-

    2. I met albert at a play too! He's my best friend's friend, met him when I was in high school! Doubt he remembers me now. =/

    3. I also think I met Nazrul recently. He works for NTV7 right? :P

    4. We have the same luggage bag!!!!! It is too small, I guarantee you. T__T

    And last but not the least, where is this teochew porridge in pudu!!! :)

    but it was kinda sad at how they poked fun at the country eventhough it was quite true.

    Welcome to the US!

    I know you're already beginning the process of missing everyone, but remember, absence makes the heart grow fonder. You'll be able to cherish your time with your friends even more when you see them in the future. Most importantly, by the time you come back home next, you'll have a bunch of new friends.

    Oh and good for you for being brave enough to go half-way across the world for school. I always wanted to do it, but I never was organized enough to accomplish it.

    As for the expats, I hope you don't see them as proper representatives of Americans. They always manage to send the most ethnocentric white people abroad. When I was in Asia, I hated every last white person I met there. If I had to judge white people based only on expats, I'm sure I would have a very negative view of white people.

    Of course, perhaps once you're in the US, there will be a lot of things that you miss about Malaysia as well or think that Malaysia does better, so maybe you'll understand the expats attitude better.

    1. agree with jeff above. i was never particularly 'proud' of malaysia back home. once here, seems to get all 'defensive' abt malaysia. .weird..

    2. yes, i agree with the comment regarding the luggage lock. in fact, due to the hassle i did not bother to lock my luggage for the last 3 times i travelled in and out of USA - may not be a good idea though. do update yourself to the latest requirement.

    3. SELAMAT DATANG !

    I feel like I've missed so much and I do not know who and who is up to what... It's like my friend suddenly had a boyfriend and I didn't know about it till now... And then another one went up North to do training... Sigh. I can't even attend farewells and antyhing!

    i remember this phase......shopping for luggages, going for farewell parties, meeting up frens, eating all the 'important' food... but it wasnt me who was leaving, and it turned out she really did go on and never returned. hahahahah...you know the story.

    aih...i thought you would've bought the hard case samsonite-like luggage? i would've gone for that if it's me. :P

    the mat sallehs are right about malaysia. tho all the politicians would rather be in a state of denial and have the face to claim that bolehland is on par with so many other civilized countries. what a shame. (and it takes a prime minister to figure out there's something wrong with out train service, and after so long and soooo many promises made over a span of 10 years. and thats only the train, make him take the bus and see what he has to say!)

    dear pinks, i'm sure you'll find life more exciting there!!! and after a while, you'll have sooo many great friends from all over the world.....

I hope you appreciate your unique background as the wide world opens before you. And study hard!

    I still remember cramming ALL my stuff into my luggage (which is almost as big as yours) before going to Australia to study. But in the end it got too damn heavy to even drag it out of the house lol. So I packed some of the heavier stuff into boxes (like shampoo etc) as it's more convenient and all you do is check-in to baggage ^_^ American security/immigration is pretty tight too, don't look suspicious and no liquids !

    Hey pinkpau

    4 years will fly by. once you get settled into the hum drum of uni activities and hanging out with people there, 4 years will fly by in a blink. it'll always feel the hardest when there's a lull in between busy periods, but you'll cope.

    cheer up girlie. enjoy what is the best time of student years. i wish I enjoyed mine even more, and I loved my uni years.

    it came to a point when i feel sad when i left UK for home during summer breaks, and sad again when i had to leave home for UK for a new uni term.

    again, wishing you the very best. :) you have plenty of friends in the blogging world who will only be a click away. (it's not the same i know.... but do cheer up.... it's a new season; new adventures, new experiences, new sights - be excited.)
