I always wanted to go but the time wasn't right. Father won't let me go on my own, obviously. So having to match the holiday with every family members wasn't a piece of cake, it was almost impossible. 

And alhamdulillah, finally. How beautiful Allah's plan is! I gotta tell you, I'm rather stubborn, when I say no then it is no. I do wanted to go to Japan at first when I heard that the destination for this year's trip is there, ONLY IF my friends go. At first they were so excited but after awhile it diminished just like that, so I kinda forgot about it.. It doesn't excite me that much anyway, Japan isn't an amusing holiday destination to me.

Until few months back, when the participants asked for my help as some of them know I can communicate in Japanese. I had a thought of going to Japan alone. Since my close friends aren't going, I might as well just have an adventure and travel alone! I have no problems about the language anyway. I contacted my friends, assure that I had a place to stay, etc, but unsurprisingly, I got a no from my father.

Since the holiday is quite long, I thought I might use the trip as chance for me to travel without my family, so I proposed to my father about my plan to join. He didn't say anything. So I assumed it was a no. I don't really get the chance to go on my own, so, I was okay. Hahaa

One day while I was talking about writing a letter in Japanese, talked on the phone, he casually said if I wanna go, I can use his credit card to buy the ticket! I was so happy, I cheked the lowest fare available, it was All Nippon Airways. It's not a low cost company (or carrier?), so a bonus for me! I got the ticket for RM 1457, not really a deal, but averagely lower. The Halal meal was nice anyway.

But since I'm getting on different flight with my friends, I had to travel alone to the airport! It's not a "had", it's rather a "get" I think! I always wanted to know how it feels like. Hahahah. Besides that, other than 3 days of University programme, I get to travel on my own to meet old friends and see Islam in Japan!! 

I will talk about it in detail later for my own reference as well. It was such a priceless experience for me. I went to Japan but I didn't go to Tokyo tower, Sky Tree, Shinjuku, Harajuku, Odaiba, Disney parks, no. I only got on the train, and walked just to see the world and to find myself. :)
