Balik Kampong
Went back to Malaysia over the weekend to just take a break from all forms of technology (apart from DVDs) and sit in the sun enjoying the hillls, enjoy the good cheap food, the shopping, time with the mother and grandmother, an early mothers' day lunch that spanned three generations. T'was a good trip.
I had so much Ipoh hor fun, chee cheong fun and good food enough to last me a lifetime. Sometimes you're so familiar with a place going back there sets you into a routine. The first day will always be spent cutting hair for < 5RM, then the pasar malam, then usually a stop by the DVD place to pick up DVDs.
Same routine, same old familiar faces, same food, same sights such that there's a feeling of familiarity. Yet the story never changes, and I've realised that it's almost like talking to a brick wall when speaking with people who are so stuck in their beliefs, stubborn to the bone.
These days I just want to roll around in bed, watch my mother write about Weather & Climate and just be a ball of laziness curled up at her feet. One day while lazing around she showed me her wounds, the three long ugly scraggly scars that bear the mark of her childbearing.
I'll miss home :'(
