balik kampung

on the 2nd day of eid i went home to my kampung, what an eye-opener!!! the traffic was horrendous, bumper to bumper most of the way. so, this is what balik kampung have been reduced to, further enriching plus and petronas, if this is the norm, i would say no thank you. i don't need it . there will be a need to formulate a diffrent strategy next year , as the balik kampung ritual is great for my spiritual well being. what could beat the sight of my mothers joy in seeing that all her offspring are there together , imagine the beautiful thoughts that crossed her mind, she might have look at me and said to herself, my poor little boy, to my other siblings it would be that hey , they have turned out great by the way, decent human beings, my all those evenings nursing them ,life is great and all the toils and perseverance have been woth it, syukur alhamdulillah, allahuakbar!!. just the sight of my mother would be worth a million kilometres of traffic jams, much better than wading through the jam in k.l., where the only sight are more and more ugly condos,garish buildings and painful reminders of the carpetbeggars plundering our deal beloved land. and visiting my fathers grave brought outwards another wave of emotions that i cannot feel if i had stayed in k.l., bring it on, again and again, alhamdulillah
