First day in Switzerland
Every mile away from Malaysia on the plane made me sick. It's like not going to reach forever. I had to hold my tears even in the plane.
Setting foot on Switzerland does not amaze me anymore, not this time.
When I'm travelling alone with no friends and no one to talk to.
Everyone speaks a language I don't understand. Which is very frustrating.
I am in an alien's world. I was in the train looking at the passengers in front of me. A mother and a child. The mother was teaching the child to read.
But I couldn't understand them. Not even to a child's standard.
Besides feeling homesick, I was also tired to have to carry the luggage here and there. Traveling from one place to another and finally arrive at the restaurant where i work. I greeted the staff and the next thing I did was to look for a socket. I had to charge my phone. I want to call home, call pei hua.
To let them know that I am safe here.
While waiting anxiously for my phone to recharge, i was offered a meal from the staff there. The staff are quite ok. Some are friendly and some are so so.
I was the quite one. The environment of the restaurant is fine.
I waited around 2 hours there and then a senior of mine, David, who is also from IMI and also from Malaysia, brought me back here to my accommodation.
My room was actually a double room. and David was my roommate. I feel comfortable talking to him. He is friendly and tells me everything about the life, the politics of the restaurant, who to listen and who to ignore at times.
Yesterday was David's last working day, and he is leaving on the 10th.
Which I felt is quite lucky for me to have someone to care for me and teach me things.
He told me that the german i learnt in school was different from the one they speak here, that explains why i couldnt understand them at all.
And the worst is that NO ONE speaks english here. NONE AT ALL.
Whenever you need to buy something or ask something, you need someone to write for you and show it to the people at the store.
David also told me that Boys will never be roommates. Because they will fight.
Usually a girl and a boy will be in a double room. I hope he is KIDDING !!!
THIS IS JUST HILARIOUS. If a girl were to move in I had to be in the same room with her ?!!
Hopefully there is none. I rather get stuck with a boy because even if we fight, i don't think i'll lose too badly ?
My nightmare has already begun. 6 months from now.
I need to get used to the life here.
I will get through this.
I will.
Support me people !!

Far away from home
Leaving Ipoh was depressing for me.
I had to say goodbye to the best things in my life.
My parents, my sister and pei hua and also my friends.
I never thought I was not ready for this. Never.
When I chose to study abroad, I didn't know that I would miss home that much.
Never thought of what to do when every was sleeping back in malaysia and the time here is only 6pm.
My phone ringed twice when i set foot here.
One from my father and one from pei hua. Both are sms.
Which is enough to break my heart in pieces. Aching so much.
I just feel like not going to bed from 12am because that's when people starts to wake up. I'm very lonely now. I need to talk to people.
This flight is the longest journey of my life. Longer than any journey i've had.
Ever since I hugged my parents goodbye at the airport, all I was trying to do is to hold my tears. Whatever i saw reminds me of family and home.
Couples around me, with family and kids.
Reminds me of how my parents used to take care of me when I was a kid and I want to be with them so much now.
Couples remind me of pei hua. The days we spent together. When we were there for each other. It's so hard to say goodbye. Instead we had to say see you again.
But that's 6 months away to see the real you. And I am already so shattered I need you now.
I was so devastated when the days draws closer to the day of my departure.
My friends were all there when I was back for holiday. Doing the things we used to do, things are fun and overwhelming. And I miss it so much already.
Moving on in life sucks. You never get to stay at the same places. Places you crave to be so much deep down inside.
However, no one chose this path for me. I chose it myself.
I need to walk this through and grow up. I must be strong.
I am very tired after not much sleep and travelling a lot.
I went to bed and tried not to think of anything. Not even a bit.
