In Malaysia Truly Asia

I'm here!!! So far I've been having a good time. Not the crazy type. Everything has been so relaxed, starting from my departure day. Good vibes all the way. When I arrived at D'Melor, there was a "Welcome Inuman" going on. And as I am a big drinker myself, I dove right in. Alcoholic drinks are scarce in Malaysia so we took advantage of this opportunity to let lose through vodka and beer. The next morning, Filipinos from other units and condos gathered in our apartment to watch the Pacquiao match, he won by the way (sorry I'm not really a big fan of boxing :P). Along with Many's victory, Caress' birthday and we celebrated my arrival (again :P).

After that, I went to the mall with Maricris to buy some supplies. I'm still lost in transit though, transportation here is not as easy as PI commute where there's tons of public transportation available. Here, there are only buses which only pass by every 30 minutes to an hour. In addition, it's right hand drive here and the orientation of the roads is opposite to that in the Philippines so I need to be very careful when crossing the streets. Cars are also very fast here, because there's not much traffic going on.

The ambiance here is very relaxed, so relaxed that I slept for 13 hours last night and woke up at almost 12 noon! This is the first time in a while that I was able to sleep that long and I took this as a good sign that I'm at home here despite the difference in environment.


Tomorrow I'm gonna start work, and I'm hoping that it will go as well as it has since yesterday. Good luck to me! :)
