First in, first out?

First off, 

I've been doing okay in KL so far..

I didn't have much time to write anything yesterday. Actually, I thought I was going to write maybe once a week earlier but I think many things occurred in a several days and I called it a little "too much" fast-pace for me. So I might be able to settle something down and starting to write the first blog. This is my personal, tailored blog whatever you would call but it is very private, so if you are reading this, it means you are one of my trustworthy companies.

I will try not to write anything based on my feelings, just facts or situations that I have faced.

First off, I would say I had planned earlier for my this particular year of 2018, I, Lalita, was going to resign from the job in Thailand. I had a several solutions for myself..

• Applying for the scholarships in universities in Europe, particularly in Sweden
• Finding a new job, both domestically and internationally
• Getting out from my comfort zone (more) and travelling the world, specifically in Europe and I will take things slooowly as much as I can

Then I got the phone call from Malaysia for the job offer in KL, and I decided to try this new experience abroad. Which means my travelling plan was folded in a cabinet for now…

I don't know anyone here in KL, but I don't take it as a constraint because as I told you earlier, I would like to be with myself, spend time and get to know myself more. Honestly, I don't want to use any Thai here like at all because I would love to use my English all the time. Even I know some Thais here on my first arrival day, but my roommates are all Vietnamese and I am glad with that. Don't get me wrong, it's good to know some Thais here, but you know international environments force me to grow internationally. I have to accept that I will need more open-minded practicing in my consideration. I will talk about this later.

DAY 1 was like a fast-paced day to me, I woke up so early and went to the airport to catch the flight to KL, with full supporters, my parents and a several friends, wished me luck at the airport. I arrived the KL International Airport at almost 12.00 a.m. local time. I needed to pass the immigration, I was queuing up and approaching to the counter, the officer was nice, without asking any questions, he told me to go to counter number 57-58. I was approaching to the counter, no one there. "What should I do" was the first question popped up in my head, suddenly two officers walked pass, I didn't even wait. I asked her, she talked back "No one in a counter?" I answered back kindly "No one there" plus a big smile.

(What actually in my mind's answer: No, there's no one here and I am standing here for too long plus I am very hungry right now, I could literally eat everything in your responsible area, Miss)

Then she asked me to go inside the police immigration office.. I was going inside and I got the same question from another immigration police "No one in a counter?" I was answering the same answer like before (not the What actually in my mind's answer one) and then he asked a several questions with a very nice and relaxed conversation, I thought he's friendly, so I asked about the taxi after that.

The taxi driver, he's Malaysian, he's super nice. We talked all the way from the airport to my place. And the talk costs MYR 83 ^-^  I arrived at the hostel safe and sound but tired. The accommodation, well, to me.. is too small, it's like a dorm I would say with a shared space, kitchen, one laundry machine, super small shared bathroom, but free breakfast, Wi-Fi and quite cheap. I met some Thai friends but they came here before and being in another batch, they're kinda nice, in a way. I met with another three Vietnamese, who are my roommates, they're kinda friendly as well.

I have been to some attractions already, nothing could attract my attention yet. I've been to Pavilion (mega department store here), I've been to Times Square (another big department store nearby my place), Petronas Twin Tower (which I'm not that excited). The only one thing that could attract my attention so far was foods, but too bad I had tried only one Malaysian food so far, Meehoon, which I kinda like it. Anyway, I would say foods here are very expensive as well as beverages, comparing with Thailand. So.. No offense, Thailand is still the number one place for food lovers and a truly food paradise to me.

However, my close friends know that I love to be isolated and spending my private times sometimes. I think we are quite grown up already in order to make a decision like working abroad, so you should have the skills of helping yourselves out. I meant taking care of individuals or surviving skills. I don't want to complain anything but for example, if we go somewhere as a group, we should help each other out (somehow), at least finding a way, or googling the map because most of us have the internet data. However, the real situation was I am the only one who navigated them to go from one place to another. I just think it is not fair for me.. 

I was too tired to argue anything with anyone. It's sooooo hot outside and we walked so far, and I needed to focus on the route simultaneously with I needed to focus on where I wanted to go, where I could buy some necessary stuffs and where could I get a cup of coffee, my brain was using a lot of processing space already, then I just wanted to come back and rest.. TADA I'm blogging here, glad to be back to my laptop and my private, peaceful time. Or maybe I am too independent for Asian culture? If someone knows, you can tell me, I would be glad to hear =)

I don't know which kind of situation I will be facing ahead but I already have my backup plan. If I am not happy being here, I will just stick with my plan, travelling. I need it so bad. I am lack of travelling abroad for 2 years now and I need it, in order to experience and see something in a cosy, comfortable place where I can live alone (or not alone) but still find that happiness.

I will have the training and induction day tomorrow for the first time in an early morning and I am tired but very happy to blog. I will see you in the near future with a new (boring) story of me.

Hope you guys doing well.

Miss you all.

With lots of love.
