Sany in USA...Part II (First time to speak English with a Pakistani..)
Back to earlier scenario, I hung up the phone when this Pakistani answered the phone. I did try to call one more time. When I introduced myself, he explained that Brother Hanafi (the contact person whom I got from Malaysia) was out to classes. It was a great relief though. I was shocked because I did not expect to converse in English for the first time I arrive back there. He spoke English real good as if native American.
The conversation was not a new thing to me since all our classes were back in Malaysia were carried out in English. In fact almost 80 lecturers were Americans.
After waiting for almost one hour, finally Bro Hanafi came and picked me up. What a great relief huh!

Feel Good Being A Giverrrr......Believe it dude!

Sany In USA ... for the first time communicate in English with Pakistani....

After fighting my surival to be able to pursue B Sc in Mechanical Engineering in Malaysia, finally I stepped out of the plane to America for the first time. It was a long journey from home....the first I boarded the plane right from Subang International Airport, Malaysia, transit in Narita Airport and reached LA after 24 hours..Felt like years.. so bored..I was lucky because both besides me, there were two nice and beautiful MARA students..going for the same things I suppose.. to bring back a degree..

From LA (after a couple of hours night stop).., I took a connecting flight.. ..(wow.. I was almost forgot.. It was like 10 years back... before I could actualy document this whole trips though..)

Yeap., I was headed to Dallas Airport right after LA...from I took another connecting flight to Mobile, Alabama. The Airport was so big..as 10 times bigger than Subang International Airport itself..Here I was.. alone..looking for the next flight..I was suppose to enroll in South Alabama University, Mobile., AL.

Before reaching Mobile, I had managed to get a contact person in Mobile. Definitely it was a malaysian. Reaching Mobile almost dinner time, immediately I called the given number. But I was shocked because it was an American whom answered my call. Eventhough I had used to see lotsa Americans backhome..(95%) of the lecturers were previous from the US, but this was a different scenario....

I felt like wanna cry.... Oh mamaaaa.. I wanna go home......
