I remember the time when we always looked forward to the holidays, just any kinda break, and we'd hit the road to KL, Klang or Penang. Those were the days where we did everything as a family.
In Penang, we'd have a large house in Jeselton Crescent all to ourselves, where our neighbours were mostly expats who were too far away to bother us. And we'd go shopping in Komtar or go to the beach and eat and eat and eat.
In KL, we stayed in a residential area called Overseas Union Garden and also spent alot of time just shopping. I don't remember much about eating in KL. Maybe the food lauyah? :-)
I remember once I went into a gents in Sungai Wang Plaza. THAT was eye-opening.
And we always bought some kinda trinket or whatever and we'd take to school and show off to our classmates in our cowtown, and go, "Bought in KL, you know?!?"
Then the matriarch of the family relocated and there was no cause to travel anymore, since she's just a few streets away.
It's been almost 20 years since I've been to KL and almost 10 years since touching Penang soil. Surprising to many, but nowadays I only do stuff when it's absolutely necessary.
I'd like to take this opportunity to wish all Hindu readers a belated Happy Deepavali and Muslim readers, Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri.
