Flying Away to A Foreign Land

Last Thursday, I sent off my ex-classmate from univ to klia, he was flying to UK to further his studies. It's a pretty big thing going overseas to study huh? While I was thinking about what to write here, I remember the day I met him and the first thing I ever said to him. "Oi! Ape pandang-pandang?!" Seriously. That was the first thing I ever said to him. He was staring at me from across the street. The best thing was, he didn't look away when I returned the stare. In fact he didn't even realise I was staring back at him.

Then my friend told me he felt bad. So on another day, I went over and ask him why he was staring at me. He said I looked a lot like someone he knows, and he said sorry. Ahaks. We laughed it off and were friends ever since. To think our friendship started off like that. Funny how things turn out.

And now, he's in UK, wow. How time flies.

Sometimes I envy those who go overseas and all. But when I think about it, it's no big deal. I have a friend who says, it's no different than studying locally, it's the same. Except that she felt bad because it's costing her parents so much money when she can get the same thing locally.

Now, if I was offered full scholarship that comes with funny allowances that covers all the crap you've never thought about, then yes I would go. But I won't put myself in debt paying off loans for the next few decades to go somewhere. One loan is enough.

I'll reserve my trips there for vacations thank you very much.

In the mean time, I'll be breathing local air for years to come.
