First of all, i didn't expect to study in Malaysia specifically, I had the idea about traveling and studying abroad, I was focusing more in going to Australia, but the luck didn't support me plus my chances were so little according to the life expenses over there. My family didn't mind the idea about studying abroad and they support me to go continue my dream and choose any other country just to focus only the study and forget about the sad memories, at that time I didn't have the same strong feeling about achieving a good future as before and only was wasting my time by playing online games, hanging out, having fun, less caring about my study and everything. but actually that period of time is not considered as a bad time because I did meet my friend Moahmed Ali in an online game called " Kal Online ", we were friends on that game for more than a year, but we weren't talking so much to each other. At that time i knew that he got a foreign girl friend from the internet who was also playing the same game with us, so that i used to bully him by calling him by her name and not his name every time I log in the online game or using the MSN chat program. The destiny was supporting me by letting me meet that person who have the same idea about studying abroad, he did wake me up from my lost life by telling me that he got the same idea about studying abroad and he is willing to help me. Later on we kept on talking more and knowing each other more better. One day as usual I was calling him by his ex- girlfriend name who was playing the same online game with us and he did tell me that he is already with that girl, That made me really wonder and ask where are u ? and what are you doing?, he did answer me by telling me that he is in Malaysia and studying tourism which was one of my major study interests, so I started to ask for every single details to have the same chance as him, he did inform me step by step what to do to finalize my papers and start getting ready to travel, luckily I did manage to finish up all the documents needed in less than 2 weeks, The college did inform Mohamed Ali that if i did come at the seventh of October i still can be in the same intake as him and i did arrive Malaysia at the seventh of October 2008. After that my suffering journey has started by noticing that my English is not willing to help during communication with people, so how will it be during the study, i felt totally lost. I did reach Kuala lumber airport I did contact Mohamed Ali and asked for the next step :D because I was totally lost because i did notice that the people doesn't understand what iam saying and iam not getting what are they saying to me, I got the steps and what to do next, Already did manage to book my Air Asia ticket to reach Sabah by the great help from Arabic guy who i did met in the Kuala lumber Airport, he noticed that iam lost, so he decided to help me with everything until i did reach Sabah, I cannot imagine that without that guy i wouldn't do anything to arrive Sabah :D, after i did reach Sabah ( Kita Kinabolo Airport ) I used to call it that name instead of ( Kota Kinabalu ) then I did contact Mohamed Ali again to ask about the next step and what to do. I got the steps of what to do as usual and started to apply it till I meet him, he told me to pick a taxi to gaya street and wait for him next to RHB bank, the driver never understood what i was saying to him so i did let him see the message from Mohamed Ali to reach the meeting point. I did manage to arrive finally and was waiting for Mohamed Ali on the seat which is facing the college while I don't know that this will the college which i will study at, I found Ali face to face finally. I felt iam back alive again, I can finally communicate in my mother language with someone who can help me around. few hours later after eating my first meal in Malaysia at Indian restaurant in Api-Api center, Mohamed Ali did book for me in the back packers near gaya street. I used everyday to go to him in Api-Api center to Iron the college shirts in his room in Api-Api in order to go to the college, and everything was really hard at that time, for him and me, because of the transportation and I was totally depending on him in everything. few days later the study started and I had my first class with Mr Abin, I didn't know which language is he speaking ?, is it english or malayu language, because i did lose all the self confidence and felt like i cannot speak English at all. time goes by and i started to learn more to depend on myself and my English was improving day after day. This was my suffering journey until i did reach Kota Kinabalu and started my classes at ATI college. There are a lot of things which is more even hard did happen starting from the first week in college, moving to an apartment and until now I will mention about that later in another topic. That was how did Khalid the lost Egyptian came to Malaysia.
