Its 1 month....... and...... a 1/2 ##$$%%

Its been one and a half month.... well actually ... almost...

Tooomorow will be my one and 1/2 month here in USA....

Never ever in my entire life.. I would thought that I'll be here... its USA ...

Half away all over the world............... 

Almost a 1 and 1/2 day travel from Malaysia then transit in London Hethro to DC is tiring ...

I threw up in the United Airlines ... oh well an inappropriate thing to share but!! hehe I just wanna...

Hmmmh... after 4 days in DC  (which is so much fun...) Since the 11th,

I arrived in Brookings, Oregon on the 14th of January 2011..

Transit from DC to San Fransisco to Medford..

Walked out of the arrival gate, I saw the lovely couple waiting for me..Patiently...

Tired And Awkward = System Shutdown,,,, I just smiled,, and said hi! and answer a question and.......shut up,,, while they took picture.... an send to their kids trough their "cool" phones... 

Met the AFS person,, said hi to her, and shut up again... because... Awkward + Tired =  System Shutdown..

Wait for the luggage.. My newly known host dad help pick the bag up and we went ahead to the car.

Pouring rain..

Honestly I had the tendency to judge people from their car but that day proved me wrong....

Vividly remember,, "mom" asked me, do you know us dear? 

Very awkward becoz i really don't know actually...

Later ... "Dad drove us to a restaurant.."

That is the first different in noticed..

I aMeriCa.. people would wait to be seated in a restaurant,,

We have that in Malaysia but just in fancies ones...

We ordered from the menu... the "Receptionist" was a guy with a broken leg

Friendly ... took order from us..

The foods ready... I'm still adjusting with the non-halal food consumer so i just ordered sea food.

"Mom" got Clam Chowder.. not knowing they have ham bits in there,,, I took a "Sip"

The Receptionist guy who's concern enough knowing that I'm in the motion of sipping it coz maybe he noticed I' a Muslim came running with one leg... told me there's ham in there... I freaked out but not showing it... and continue eating the 2 times large "Dish" than in Malaysia...

And So...

We continue the two hours Journey from Medford to Brookings....

Arrived in the dark I didn't spent time to look around ..

Gone up some steps.

Blurry becoz just got up from sleeping in the car...

Into a gorgeous bedroom and slept in..

Before I felt asleep again,, I thought wow! I made it ..

From DC travelling alone to San Fransisco where I freaked out coz I almost lost my passport 

Almost...

Then to Medford in a small  plane occupied by 33 people...

Then to this strangers house.. in a comfy bed,,

I felt sooooo proud o myself!!

And in my deep heart core,

I hope Mak and Abah are proud of me too...

Its my time too shine..
