Pic - My letter before leaving Earth 2007
Thanks to Aiman , I found the letter
which I wrote to my parents way back in 2007 - a day before I flew off to Space .
I was at Baikonaur Kazakhstan , all alone quarantined for 2 weeks with training without my loved ones ...
My parents did come down a day before and we chat through a glass window .
I could see tears in their eyes especially Mom .
It was necessary - as even a flu will disallow me from going to Space .
I had mixed emotions back then - thrilled , excitement , scared , sense of loss all in one .
I knew the risk was high and anything could happen
Was it really necessary taking all these risk leaving
your loved ones behind ?
I trust my faith to Allah and no one else .
Its all written our destiny .
I have always struggled during my teenage years searching for that piece on the purpose of life .
Always asking ' Why are we here ? '
I have been soul-searching all my life and I truly have found it in Space .
I am now feel complete upon my return to Earth.
Those were the days ...
I never shared this letter to anyone .
I even forgotten about it till today .
Just wanted to share with Everyone how my journey to Space changes my perspective on life as a whole .
Salam Everyone
Love As Always
PS - My Book ' Kembara Ke Angkasa ' was written in detailed of my journey right from Day One of Selection Process .
Just sharing ...
@shkhmnshkr - TQ Aiman for sharing me the letter
