First time to Malaysia

On October 20th,2018, for the first time in my life, I hopped on a plane to go abroad, I've never been to a country other than China, and I've been waiting this journey for a really long time.

Malaysia, a country in the southeast Asia, only exits in my imagination, I can’t describe the feeling about the first moment when I laid my feet on this ground. Excited,thrilled? Maybe not, given that I was blocked by the customs for not booking the returning ticket and bring enough money. Actually, it was quite close to be repatriated for I had absolutely zero experience in going abroad.

And the guy who picked me up at the airport, I personally thought, was not very responsible despite the fact that he is my fellow colleague and we’ve studied in the same college.

I came here to work as a salesman, so I originally thought that the my colleagues must be very friendly and kind, truth be told, I didn’t feel that I have been welcomed so far,a few people just show their indifference through their cold faces without smiles. It was really awkward to be in the same elevator with them going for lunch. I really wanted to ask them frankly: is something wrong about me? Or what is the problem with you!?

Of course, there are always good people, I met a guy who came to the same department with me,just a year earlier, he is kind, funny and enthusiastic, I really appreciate the help and kind he offered.

I know it might sound a little disappointed, but by now I really haven’t felt the enthusiasm  and passion for my work, and I know I was a little worried that I am not likable to a few people, especially people in the high place, well, but after feeling sorry for myself for just a few minutes, I know what I really should do is to show them who I really am and what I am capable of. Today, I want to say to myself: you can not give up, you will be strong and resilient, you will not resign until you are the best among them. Just keep these words in mind and strive harder! Go!
