ENTRANCE TO THE
LIGHTING ANGEL CITY
This is the final day here. We are at
heaven, sorry at Kuala Lumpur. I had never dreamt of the event happened in
these three days here.” Educational tour to Malaysia”, there are certain limits
to a middle class family student in his life, and the quoted statement was
beyond the imagination of the one. Yes I’m in, I said as the response to the
proposal of international tour from the college.
“This is the first international
trip to be organised by our college for the first time ever in last 20 years,
this should be huge and massive hit” Saravanan sir, the overall coordinator of
the tour was saying to us. As usually my mind vehicle kept me in my own
Malaysian tour. After the meeting I called my dad to get the confirmation of
his permission to let me abroad, got back with negative response. Expected!
Finally, dad showed a green signal
with extra credit to my account for my other expenses other than the fees. The
date April 14th was declared as the date of take off. The excitement
goes to the peak that myself and my parents published my journey to our
relatives and everyone was happy to hear that, I’m the first person in our
heritage to fly overseas. I was in a state of ecstasy. Planning many things to
execute, even boozing comes along the list of wishes.
First excitement comes in route of
Ringgit notes, we exchanged for our expenses in Malaysia. The business of
posting updates started with my post of exchanged Ringgits. I had started
making arrangements for the trip. Anticipating the date our days became so
longer. The day before flight, I had made a video call to my home and met my family
virtually; by the way I had packed my bag within 7kg limits as per the
direction of the authority.
14th merely morning at 4:32 I woke up to get ready
for bus for Trichy Airport from our college. It was almost 6 in the morning for
everyone to reach near the bus. We started the journey to Kuala Lumpur from
Coimbatore. We stopped at 3 stops for refreshments, then reached Airport at
2:24 at evening after taking lunch at hotel near by Airport. I met my aunty and
my two little cousins, which made myself and my sister feel happy and great
before take off. At 3 o clock evening sharp the immigration process started at
the Airport. After all the formalities it was informed that the flight was late
and we can only take off at 6pm.
At 5:23pm we saw the flight we are going to fly to the other
land, and the cabin crew let us in to the flight by 5:40 pm. The flight moved
in a way that the air got tear to let way to it. The feel at the take off was
an awesome experience, like an amusement park Columbus ride. I was flying! I
can’t explain that feeling. The 4 hours journey flies faster than our flight.
Reached Kuala Lumpur international Airport at 12:10 am by Malaysian time. The Airport,
the cab which took us to hotel at buking bintang, the speed breaker less road
showed the major difference between India and Malaysia. The rooms allotted for
us in the hotel which was 500 mtrs away from Times square was taken by 3 per
room.
It was 10 am to make every one ready for the ride, after
taking food at the hotel. The food was good than the vendor next to us that we
eat last night. The beauty of Kuala Lumpur made us believe that we are at the
other world. The cab arranged took us to pewter factory, after a small visit to
Times square. The visitors were stickered for the factory’s entry, which gave
me a smile by reminding AMMA. Then we had been to Istana Negera the kings
palace. The guide said the total history of the Malaysia which seems boring at
last we came to know that we are there before a week of the election of the
king of Malaysia. Then the Waktu Melawat monument which stands for free
Malaysia from 31st august 1957. The next giant stop was at Twin
Towers which stood neck breaking 458 feet height and took 7 years to build by
Japan and Korea.
Malaysia had long nights with ice vodka at the room shared by
myself Vinu and Syam. The next day starts with Merdeca museum followed by art
gallery. What a city! Clean roads, tall buildings, mesmerising lightings.
MURUGA, yes at the battu caves muruga temple a divine beauty, I wished to visit
Malaysia only for this part of time. Billa 2, Thala, Malaysia, nothing else to
explain. Then the genting highland, incomparable beauty and it’s Sky avenue
made the day. Hours before the sunset we were at Sky way casino, the winch
travel and the mist around made us feel heaven, and ended at VSOP night. The
next day is to experience life of Malaysia, we travel on monorail and
underground rail and reached Kuala Lumpur city center. The afternoon shows the
purpose of our tour, we visited The Malaysian university and met the assistant
dean of the university and attended the one hour non boring seminar. For my
wonder I didn’t even shut my eye in the seminar. The day ended without boozing
as the night had a long get together with all staffs and students.
The phone alarms at 6 am to woke us up and Vinu went for
refreshment and Syam was sleeping and me narrating the happenings till today.
Alas forgive me for not mentioning the worst hotel WiFi, video calls to home
daily, and more and more enjoyed cab rides. And today our rides are to Ministry
of Trade and Industry to visit Malaysia and New Zealand 60th
anniversary joint forum, and to Putra jaya masjid on the way to Airport. Yup Vinu
came out and its me to get fresh. Bye...
So many selfies, so many memories, so many contacts, at last
all showers a rain of goose bumps into veins. Friendly peoples, heavenly views,
gonna miss you the beautiful part of the world. Exactly, Malaysia is the
lighting angel city....
