09 Feb 2006
On the 6th Feb (Monday), I received a long awaited phone call from my manager telling me that I am officially offered the job. I told him that I wanna go back for a week, see my family and settle some business before I begin my employment. After calling KL and daddy telling them the good news, I called Uncle Law next to book my airtickets back. I was due to fly on the 9th Feb (Thurs) and back here on the 18th Feb (Sat) to start my work on the 20th Feb (Mon). Everything was in a rush and I kept my return a secret. Of coz, daddy, BS (&NL) and GL knew.
After a whole crap about helping a friend bring back her luggage back, I finally made it to the airport. It felt weird. I’m travelling alone back but yet I know my absence will be short. Maybe I was already “programmed” to be sad and teary at the airport if I’m travelling alone. KL seems rather amused but I reckon he was looking forward to some alone time.
I was sat next to an old couple during the flight and only after the meal that I went to the loo, I realised that the flight was rather empty. I asked the stewardess if I could change my seat to the empty window seat. I was contented and happy. You can see how empty the flight was. I stretched my legs on the empty 3 seater and fell asleep.
I landed in that familiar airport with 3 person waving at me - my parents and GL. I liked it this way - quiet and intimate without all that drama. Upon reaching home and changing into my shorts (the heat was killing me), GL and I went to the market to meet BS and NL.
Ahhh, my first meal was ‘horfun’. Yums but not the best I had. BS and NL took a long time to meet us because they brought along bailey. I found it rather “hairstand” when they kept referring to their puppy as their son?!?!
I went back to my old room and laid alone in the cold airconditioning wondering if KL misses me.
