Today marks the journey of my Korea-Malaysia Teacher Exchange Programme odyssey. I am so excited a two of my Maktab's partner in crime, Ishak Ridhwan, and Aizuddin decided to send me off to KLIA albeit some glitches to the initial plan. We reached KLIA around 5.00 pm.
Once we reached KLIA, we straightaway had our dance practice just behind the big screen. Quite embarrassing, to be honest, but we just do not care. Soon in the middle of practice my mom, my brother, and my nephew arrived. Settled the luggage check-ins, and had our conversation before we departed. And as usual, my mom reminded me of to always 'jaga waktu solat', a message that I will always bear in mind. About 9.00 pm we bid farewell to each other - quite sad to be honest to say goodbye to your mom especially when knowing the fact that you are apart thousands of miles away.
We were also delighted to have the representatives from KPM for this send-off gathering. This would be my first ever experience in joining a delegation representing Malaysia and the feeling was so overwhelming. As of typical national delegation, we had our photo session with the banner and Malaysian flag. Proudly Malaysian.
Since two of us had been sponsored by the Malaysian MoE, my buddy, Parthiban and I boarded on Malaysia Airlines as compared to 10 others where they boarded on Korean Air. We were really glad that Malaysia Airlines personnel had given us the Exit seating and the leg room was very spacious. And of course, the food was exceptional and that was the moment we really enjoyed our Malaysian food before missing them for 3 months.
Having our kaya toast before the take off.
Plenty of leg room.
Supper snacks - Chicken pie with apple juice.
Classic Malaysian breakfast - Nasi Lemak & Kopi O
Satisfied Malaysian passengers. Thanks, Malaysian Airlines for making our journey stress free. Looking forward to traveling with you in the mere future. After about six hours we finally arrived at Incheon Airport, South Korea at around 6.30 am. We waited for our Korean MoE representative, Miss Bae Hyun Joo around 10 minutes before we headed straight to the hotel. Now the adventure had begun.
