"selamat pulang ke tanah air"...
those were the words of the flight captain as we touched down on the runway of KLIA.
it was a complicated feeling for me hearing those words, for i was filled with excitement i have not felt a long long time. as i boarded a coach for the city centre, taking in the various scenes, busy traffic, road signs in malay, flats labelled "Anggerik, Bawangkali,Cempaka, Dahlia", LRT station Masjit Jamek, everything was so familiar yet so different.
i wonder if such feeling would follow everytime i come back visiting my home town.
visit to Taiping also brought back childhood memories, though gone were the rambutan trees in the courtyard of most houses and the kids that roamed around the area. now its a quiet neighbourhood with elder folks left to take care of their properties.
it had been a short trip back home. but i hope the next one would not be too far a way, especially when i have more than a couple of excuses to return home.
