Sungai Siput.
I love my town walaupun pekan ni kecil, takde pembangunan banyak sangat, takde bangunan tinggi-tinggi, takde taman cantik-cantik nak lepak, takde mall besar nak habiskan masa. Haha I was not born here though, but this place has been where I grew up the most.
Beberapa hari lepas, saya tolong drive hantarkan mak ke sekolah untuk kelas petang. Well, UPSR minggu depan kan. I wonder why she keep teaching Year 6 like... diorang sewajarnya letak cikgu muda-muda nak ambil alih komitmen tu. Nanti bila mak saya bersara, dah kesian orang baru nak ajar Year 6, dengan takde cikgu senior nak dirujuk kat sekolah tu.
Ayah and abanglong had somewhere else to go. So, basically no one was at home.
Lepas hantar mak ke sekolah, I was wondering what should I do next. Nak balik rumah, bosan nak duduk seorang.
Then.
I decided to drive around the town.
Niat di hati nak keliling taman perumahan yang berlambak kat sini, konon nak cari mana-mana rumah yang ada iklan 'for sale'. Pergh, bajet ada duit je nak beli. Tengah bersemangat nak collect assets, tapi simpan duit je lah yang termampu. Pusing pusing pusing. Hmmm, takde sangat pun rumah nak dijual.
Nak pick up mak, macam lambat je lagi. Then, something appeared in my head. Why not I drive to any rural areas?

Haha. Taklah rural macam kampung orang asli. Tapi, hey kampung orang asli sekarang pun rumah batu atas tanah dengan aircond, astro siap kereta banyak bagai.
I enjoyed the ride. Walaupun tak se-thrill Tapah-Cameron Highlands, mahupun Gerik-Jeli... it was an achievement. Kunci kereta siap-siap sebab there's no one on the road, rumah pun bermeter jauh antara satu dengan yang lain. My aim was just to kill the time and enjoy the view, so I didn't drive that far. 35km return trip like that.
When I told my mum about this, haha as expected, "kamu jangan main-main, berani sangat pergi drive situ seorang-seorang."
And this is why I choose to tell my dad first, who usually support the adventure inside of me, better.
But, I love you both till Jannah, mak ayah. :D <3
