Prologue

Diarrhea, delayed luggage, and homeless for the first night in that foreign land.

Also, that 24 hours of awful flight.

Curious and asked about God's plan, "Why can't you let me go to OU alone?"

Why, oh why.

Together with KV, they got their enrollment done in 1 week without any help from anyone. Campus was quiet, and it seemed like there was not a single Malaysian around.

Met with housemates and found out that they clicked along. At least he got what he wanted- 3 Americans. Prayed for it and grateful that he got it.

And, he remembered what his mother said to him about cooking, "Don't worry, you will know how to cook when you are there."

**************************************

It has been a month since the arrival. He has learned so much about life. Affi once told him that "going to the university and live without any dependents, that is what you called a real life".

From a man who doesn't know how to handle an egg, he could make you all sorts of eggs now- scrambled, fried, omelette. He learns that he likes to cook. Not just cooking eggs, his cooking skill is getting better day by day. Getting a meal done all by himself makes him feels satisfactory.

From a man who doesn't wash/clean stuff, he has to do laundry, dishes, and even cleaning the toilet bowl. He makes his mama proud.

And looking back at one month ago, asking God why he couldn't just come to Norman alone, he found an answer. God placed KV with him because:

-KV is not as blind as him in directions. KV been to campus just once and he remembers ALL the places. Without KV, he will be lost in that OU campus of Norman.

-KV is like a right hand for him because God knows that he couldn't handle all things alone. If he were here alone, he couldn't have somebody to help carrying stuffs from Walmart, cooking, and playing fifa.
