Journey home

Driving from PJ to JB

Ping and I decided instead of traveling to overseas as we had planned on and off ( in fact we were pretty near in getting our air tickets booked when ping can’t get his leave approved) , we then agree to travel to his hometown and then to mine on father’s day.

We had never actually travel together by car as we could not possibly afford owning our own car until now. So I was pretty excited cause ping will be driving and I will be helping him along the way by u know, helping him with the water, food, jokes and help too look out for ‘super’ driver on the road.

We went to JB last 2 weeks. We travel at night. Ping’s buddy Harry was with us. This is the second time I had gone to ping’s place after being together for nearly 5 years. I remembered once I told Harry that there are lots of great food in Taiping and those that you can’t find at anywhere else in Malaysia and then both JB boys insisted that their JB is nor too far behind as well. We took up each other challenge for the fun of it to have our stomach burst with good food and prove that ‘Our’ own place offers the best food.

But of course, it was just for the sake of fun, it is like a norm that mothers will prepare lots of good food at home that you may not have to chance to taste outside food. At the same time, after having to eat at hawkers every night, mum’s cooking is like heaven.


Driving home from PJ to Taiping

Then, last week, we were on the road again and this time we are heading back to our lovely Taiping. I was so excited and the thoughts of driving home complete everything. Why do I say so? Well it is kinda silly, I’ve always wanted to have that kind of feeling where my bf will be able to drive me home instead of me always going home alone. The journey could be pretty lonely sometimes. Even when sometimes I went back with my friends in their car I secretly wished too that one day my bf could drive me home too. We were poor students back in the olden days.


My babies

Driving me home, sharing and experiencing the journey home. That’s what it is about. We reached home at about 11 plus that night. Enjoyed a few days of wonderfully delicious mum’s cooking, mouth-watering local food, comfortable bed with all my babies around me and every blessed second of laughter and jokes shared with mum n dad. It was a perfect weekend. Instead of celebrating father’s day, I enjoyed and gained so much more. Let’s just say, I’ve got a blessing from mum and dad.
