Voyage to South East Asia

After lot of thought, decided to pursue my MBA from AIM , Manila. Its a gamble after throwing away coveted IIMK FPM and GIM admits. Well as i embark on this voyage to further east, i pray lord for his watch at my actions. The journey began on rail from vizag to bangalore with 40kg of cargo after adios to my loving mom. Settled down at yeswanthpur at my jiju's place for 1 day before joining hands with my dad. Next day collected the dollar currency from bank. On the day of my first international flight, i started at 6 pm on route to Airport. The weather is friendly thanks to the rain gods.

Spent quality time with dad and ananth with a subway veg sandwich at the Airport terminal. After clearing air on the luggage weight , pushed myself inside the departure gate with a smile on my dad's face. Glad he was here to support me on this en devour. Shaked hands with fellow students as we went through the check-in process. Later the immigration and security measures were a cakewalk. Swept by these in no time , but the SA flight was still 2 hr away to be boarded. Lingered around the airport for consolation of the fact i am flying abroad leaving this beloved land. At sharp 10 45 PM walked into the closed chambers to step into the aircraft. Real technological marvel to watch this heavy bird parked in front of me to help me cross the Bay of Bengal. Well with a jacket in a hand, the cute air hostess ushered me to my seat. Was little uncomfortable between two girls but in no time, had a resourceful discussion with fellow students on the AIM . Never learnt so much about AIM in last 5 months and kept myself awake til i hit the ground at singapore. A little over 4 hrs is what it took for me to reach this wonderful city.

Marveled at the sight of the humongous airport built in full sanity with sky trains. Worth a watch for sure. Went around the numerous shops inside the airport for window shopping. Next our troupe was ready to board the connecting flight to Manila. After regular security check, cleared to board SA flight for another 4 hr journey. The Veg meal offered in this course is better than the former. And spent next 2 hrs watching MIB3. Later we hit Manila and cleared off immigration and ready to reach AIM. After a 30 min haul over the taxi, loaded our luggage and set to Makati City. And took a while to get our Medical check and moved into the dormitory. That's how my 1st international flight journey took place.. lot more to go!
