The pilot announced "we have landed in Kuala Lumpur International Airport. To all passengers Welcome to Malaysia and to all Malaysians..Welcome Home !"....fuhh I never felt so excited when I heard this announcement. My adrenalin pumped up when I saw the green grass and lines of palm trees surrounding the airport. After 6 months ....I am home !!
My wife wanted to pick me up at the airport but I declined the offer because I wanted to travel by KLIA Express, LRT and taxi so that I could see the faces of Malaysians again in their morning rush to work. I enjoyed the journey very much amidst the pushing, the squeezing, the humidity and the thousand smells of perfumes. Along the journey to the heart of Kuala Lumpur I could see a lot of completed development in KL. In fact I could notice how tall the trees and its shades have grown. I smirked alone whilst watching all the scenery of KL through the LRT windows. I wondered whether I could notice all these changes had I never left KL.
Although this trip home was for 4 days only, my schedules were full with activities with families and friends. In fact I have attended birthday bashes (for me by my wife and Dewangga Sakti), newborn greeting (welcome to Muhammad Rafiq Bin Muhammad Zurrusydi) and a funeral (Al-Fatihah to my Atuk Usu Hj Harun).
The new man in town
In every place I went to and peoples I visited, I saw nothing but good improvement in them. There is an up-market version of Nasi Lemak Antarabangsa restaurant near my house in Taman Melati, my Madumas apartment is almost completed, the DUKE highway is in full service, my son Adrin has become cleverer, Dewangga Sakti is progressing rapidly with their recording using newly acquired instruments and voice, the recording studio Purple Sound has moved to a bigger place, my parents looked fit and healthy, my father bought himself a new LCD TV and my wife looked more beautiful (hehe..).
Madumas Apartment@Setapak..any taker?
Walking with a big boy
Talking about improvement, I took advantage of the cheaper prices in Malaysia by upgrading myself to a Fender Jazz Bass and a Macbook. This upgrade is not a privilege but a long-time dream that finally come true due to long hard efforts (in earning and saving money !).
Kasi murah la tokey..

Well...Alhamdulillah. That is all I can say when my aeroplane touched Dubai airport again.

--alhamdulillah long.
aku baru dgr citer ko balik malaysia..tup2 aku baca blog ko ni, ko dh sampai dubai..at least lepaslah rindu ko kat anak & wife ko ye tak?
sangat setuju dengan kamu
orang yang xpernah tinggalkan malaysia
tak akan tahu betapa indahnya malaysia
all the small things
... pokok pokok yang hijau
... hujan
... lagu lagu dari radio era
... orang ramai yang bersesak sesak sepanjang perjalanan dari klia ke kl sentral
i cant stop from smiling all the way from airport to sentral
dikelilingi oleh rupa yang familiar
memang feels like home!
Long..tolong jngan kawan ngan budak baju pink 2..rosak akhlak ko nanti..
hahahha!!
I see trees are green, red roses too. I see them bloom for me and you. And i think to myself,
what a wonderful world.
everytime aku jalan-jalan, naik moto atau kereta, aku mesti tak pernah lepaskan peluang untuk melihat pemandangan dan kemajuan di Malaysia.
cis Cohong. Hang bawak motor 170kmph, mana nak nampak pemandangan....
Lagi pun, hang bukan asal Bengali punya negara ka?
hahahha
couldnt agree more...
i remembered when i first touched down in malaysia after 3 years living in glasgow and never once i have the chance to get my feet back in the malaysian soil...
once i touched down 2 years ago,there were so many things have changed! my dad's grey hair getting more and more, my mum's new Elizabeth Arden spectacle which only then i know that she change it every year....plate number kereta kat KL dah sampai WQ...!!! hahaha...kalau duk rumah jer, its hard to see things that change kan?
glad u had fantastic time in your hometown..
p/s : taman melati dah nearby my parents house jer tuuu...hehehee
p/s/s : ohhh i found your blog thru hady's ehee
Man,
hahahahhaha kalau 170kmh, aku pandang depan je.
Tapi bila aku slow, aku akan pandang kiri dan kanan menikmati pemandangan.
Asal je sana, tapi dah jadi warganegara Malaysia. So kena la jadi patriotik hehehehehe
When I walk, I look for girls. When I run, I look for girls. When I sit, I look for girls. When there are no girls, I remember cohong! hahahaha!!!! Sajak khas utk cohong yg selalu kesunyian!!!
Along, aku kira sedih gak baca blog ko kali ni. tinggalkan family demi kerja. Kadang2 aku heran la. camne ko boleh tahan keadaan camtu. Hmm kalau aku, tanak aku buat camtu...kira hebat juga ko ni!
hahahahhha sajak kau tak best.
Mid, Along ada GF kat Dubai heheheheh
bukan ada BF ke???
Betul la Long,
Gua respect sama lu bro! Reading this entry make me wonders if I were to face the same scenario. I will not be as stron as you are. Kau memang hebat bro.. and to your wife, I really salute her!
To your young boy, please dont forget to tell him (if possible everyday) that you love him so much. Yeah.. I know its hard to grow up without a father sitting next to you.
hahahahha lupa pulak Along gay. Dia ada BF bukan GF hahahaha.
Tapi Along memang hebat. Sanggup merantau ke negara orang mencari rezeki. Aku tak sanggup beb.
It's such a short & sweet homecoming. Life is good when we open our eyes to appreciate the things that we have; both right infront of our eyes and those we left behind. To be able to sense and be appreciative of the small progress in the making, proves that you have the abundance of great essense of positivity in your life.
