Pre Christmas Hometown Drive
Left to Alor Setar at 10.30am. My sister, Sherly and her kids were in the car with me. It was a going to be a Christmas reunion with some members of the family missing namely my eldest sister, Susan and her family, Raja, Suraj and Sara and just another person, Ruban.
I am not good at long distance drive and have difficulty keeping my eyes wide open having to stop many times before reaching destination. Thank goodness my sister drove part of the drive back home.
We met some Harley bikers and later some antic bikers.
Then we hit the lush green padi fields - my home state, Kedah, which is the rice bowl for the country. The calmness of the padi fields is what I miss the most of my hometown. As I drive down to the capital city, Alor Setar, the air gently whispers into my ear, “Welcome home, my son!” I raise a smile, and memories of those golden days came back. I still love my hometown.
