Butterflies

Running on only 3 hours of sleep, I finished packing my bag. It's the first time I'll be travelling with a backpack. I say this every time, but I 'think' I packed light. :)

Regardless of how many times I have flown, I still get butterflies in my stomach. I suppose it's the slight pangs of excitement mixed with other unknown emotions. Nonetheless, I am looking forward to Nepal.

I've been keeping in contact with the eldest boy - Santosh from the orphanage via email. In his recent email, he asked when I was going back to Nepal. I bit my tongue and told him "sometime this year". I want to keep my appearance as a surprise. I'm donating clothes and a Playstation 2 to the orphanage. I'm pretty sure they will be excited about my surprise appearance and even more surprised that I'll be bringing them goodies.

The only thing I am dreading is the hike to get to Nepal. 16 hours before I reach Kathmandu. I am flying with Malaysia Airlines with a 5 hr transit in Kuala Lumpur (my birth city). Last time I had a terrible experience flying with Malaysia Airlines so I'm hoping for a better experience  this time and hopefully a good night sleep on the plane. 

Bye Sydney.
