40 days in Malaysia

From 20th July, the time i arrived KLIA to 30th Aug, the time i am leaving Malaysia, i have 40days to spend at my hometown. I have so much things to do in these 4odays and finally my preparation has come to an end.

Day 1 I went shopping with my family in IKEA on the day i arrived. To be honest, i was tired but i was happy that i could met my family after separation of 16weeks.
Day 2 I did my medical check-up in a private hospital near my house as requested by my sponsor, JPA.
Day 3 I met IMU seniors in Mid Valley and also my friends. We watched "Red Cliff" together as i didnt step into a cinema for 16weeks.
Day 4 I went back to my old house to shift my stuff to my new house. At night, i met my Sban friends and invited them to visit my new house.

Day 5-8 I went back to Penang to visit my relatives there. And ate all the food that i have missed.

Day 9 I went to IMU to collect my academic transcript and on the same day, i went to extract my decayed tooth in the dental clinic.
Day 10 I cleaned my own room and set up my new wardrobe with my bro.
Day 11 We ordered a lorry to carry our furnitures from old house to new house. And a very tiring day...
Day 12 I went to KL to apply my student visa.
Day 13 I went to JPA for briefing to collect my flight ticket and allowance. On the same day, i went to KLIA to change my flight date from 14th aug to 30aug due to misunderstanding between me and JPA officer.

Day 14-15 Finally, i could stay at home and no need to go out on as my cousin came to visit me.

Day 16-20 I was asked to attend Kursus Kenegaraan that organized by Biro Tatatnegara. And the day i came back from the camp, i watched Beijing 2008 Olympic opening ceremony with my friends... That was my farewell with my beloved friends....

Day 21 I went back to my dad's kampung, Ulu Yam to pay respect (bai bai) to my ancestors. And of course i wont miss the delicious Loh Mee...
Day 22 Nothing much to recall, i guess i was chilling at home...
Day 23 I brought my grandpa to PathLab for his medical check-up as he keeps complaining his knee pain, i suspect it was due to osteoarthritis. But it was just too hard for me to tell him in Hokkien.
Day 24 I went to KL again to collect my student visa but some how it was quite depressing as UK granted me a 2yr visa as opposed to 3yr duration of my course due to error in my financial affidavit.

Day 25-28 I stayed at home chilling and watched Taiwanese drama-"Fated to love" as
recommended by my cousin.

Day 29 I went shopping with my family again. At night, stayed tuned to astro and watched the final match of badminton men's single. As a malaysian, i gave my spiritual support to Lee Chong Wei. But as an audience, i gave Lin Dan a round applause for such a good match.
Day 30 And today, i did something that i wished to do since the first day i came back. I cut my hair to the length that i am comfortable with...

Another 10days to go...
I would need to start to pack my stuff to UK...

It has to come... The day i leave my family to pursue my dream...
Nothing can be done even if i feel sad...
The only thing i am trying to do now is treasure every second that i could spend with them as i am using these 40days to compensate the 1yr period that i wont be around...
I am happy
I am contended
I am grateful
