I'm back to Blogging

I came here in Petaling Jaya with no luggage but with a box instead. My stuffs weigh around 40 kilos with the luggage I am using so I decided to put them in an unused balikbayan from Toots. The last night is pain-staking and draining for I have left a lot of stuffs. I am going back home on March anyway.

For the very first time, the whole family is wit h me in the airport. It is usually my younger brother Bryan who accompanied me to the airport but for this departure, everyone is there. Good thing, there’s no crying scene. Maybe because they, especially my mom, are used to me leaving home and be back after a few months. Also, used to not having me home.

Then another first. It is first time to travel as an overseas contract worker. Bagong bayani as they say. This time I don’t have to pay for terminal fee. I just need to have my OEC validated and signed then off to check-in my big box. As expected, I got 14 kilos excess baggage which cost me 112 usd. Got my Malaysian Airline ticket for 50 usd and with my Northwest miles.

The 4-hour flight is smooth and I reached Kuala Lumpur airport at around nine pm. When I went to the carousel to claim my box, the rope that is tied around it to make it easy to carry, s gone. Thanks to the Japanese guy whom I met in the queue, who helped me with my box.

After passing through the immigration, I met Mr Quek who brought me to Ehsan Ria condominium.

The Malaysian adventure begins.
