My first day in Malaysia, I didn't expect to get this far. This is to make my dream come true. Even though my heart is very anxious, I feel happy.
Welcome to the Ulfatulrahmah Blog.
I don't know, and I never knew myself to be this brave, A journey full of anxiety, I managed to conquer this soul full of anxiety, Why do I say that I have reasons for not knowing myself to be this brave, Because according to, I have taken a very impossible decision, A few days ago, I didn't even intend to go to Malaysia because I was working in Indonesia. But over time I discovered bad things at work. When I was working in Indonesia, I even volunteered not to take a salary from work for two months.
But I didn't feel comfortable working anymore at that time, I was even worried because this was one of my jobs that I was working on, but from the side of the women I worked with, more and more each day they made me feel uncomfortable working, for some reason. Even though I have done very hard and good work. That's why I decided not to work anymore.
In the end, I took my salary from work all at once. And making a very bold decision, I even asked permission to go to Malaysia beforehand, both from my colleagues and others. At that time, I truly had the courage to leave Indonesia and work in Malaysia, because I'm a person who says, "If I'm sure, I'll do it."

To make a long story short, in this post I want to share only the important things. Okay, friends, let me continue. It was an anxious journey from Indonesia to Malaysia. Finally, I arrived at the Malaysian airport, but my phone didn't have enough battery because I had trouble charging it when I first left. And I was also traveling on a whim. I purposely didn't take any pictures at the Malaysian airport, as my heart was filled with anxiety.
Around 7:00 a.m. in Malaysia, I took the high-speed train to Kuala Lumpur, often called KL City. To meet a friend who wanted to apply for a job. I actually didn't want to go to Kuala Lumpur because I didn't have any funds. I hadn't yet cashed out my funds into Rupiah. The reason was because a friend was willing to pay for my travel expenses to Kuala Lumpur to complete a job. I didn't know this friend very well.
Until I was in a position to meet, a few minutes I discussed work issues, then the work problem was finished and I just had to wait for the work schedule, But my workplace is in a village area which is in a city next to KL CITY, or I give an example, my workplace is about 3 hours more from the city of Kuala Lumpur. Well, after making an agreement, then the friend left me because after discussing work, we each had important things to do.
I was also very worried, to relieve my worries and anxiety, I could still smile because I had done the best in my life so far. Then I had to go to a nearby M-Banking office to take care of my needs, because I hadn't changed my bank card to M-banking, so my balance was still stuck, I would also make my own bank card at a Malaysian bank. There were quite a lot of important things for me right now, so that's why I was very worried if my funds were very tight. Because this is not Indonesia, this is a metropolitan country or a sophisticated country.

One afternoon in Malaysia, I went to the nearest mobile banking office to process my account and apply for a Bank Malaysia card. However, I was extremely worried, as applying for a bank card requires cash. I didn't have any cash at all, only a few notes worth about 5 USD.
I immediately inquired about applying for a bank card and changing my mobile banking account. But it didn't work, as I needed cash to apply for a new Bank Malaysia card when changing my mobile banking account. Seriously... I was starting to feel anxious. So I decided to do it the next day, wanting to find a solution and funds first. I would be able to proceed effectively if I had the solution and the funds.
Then, I continued my journey from Kuala Lumpur to the work village to discuss the job directly with the woman. I took a taxi to her house directly, as it was about two hours from Kuala Lumpur. I finally arrived there around evening time.
I discussed my job and where I would like to live, or perhaps rent a house. I wanted to live close to my workplace. In the end, my wishes were met; the woman had one of my apartments located very close to her workplace. Oh yeah, my temporary job was helping the woman at a supermarket pharmacy. She wanted to use me as an assistant for a few weeks before I was assigned another job.

After spending a few hours more, I went to the house that I requested, tonight I was in a rented house that I lived in. I was very happy because the place was very nice and comfortable, Malaysia is really much cooler than Indonesia, just look at this rented house like a luxury home for me. But I have to buy some more equipment, For plates and glasses and spoons I already have because I brought them from Indonesia which I put in my suitcase hehehehe.
But I need to buy a folding mattress and pillows, and I also need to buy a food preparation area like a fast food oven, because it's easier for me to use. And the room is comfortable for me because it has a kitchen and a very clean toilet. But even though I'm happy, I'm still thinking about finances, because I'm very honest and frank, I really need additional funds right now for this.
But the room has an unpleasant odor, like the smell of a floor that hasn't been mopped in a long time, but that's okay, maybe I can buy some air freshener or something else to eliminate the bad air. Maybe I'll find a solution as soon as possible so I have additional funds for important things.🥹

This speaks about courage.
You've taken a bold step to move to a different country. Somewhere far away from you birth country.
I'm impressed and inspired as well. 🥹
I pray that someday I'm able to move as well. Might come with a lot of responsibilities but I know we'd make it through.
Wishing you all the best in your new country and a better work life.
