'...bla bla so he will be going to lahadDatu... bringing his family with him...
bla bla i mean the place is new to him. u ever gone there before Mr G?'
it was a trip from SungaiPetani and we were having a non work related
chitchat just to prevent the driver (Which was me) from falling a sleep.
and after the fish head and mutton curry the tendency were there.
'lahad datu, well... let me seee' he took a fair bit of time to remininsce the
good old days.
'when i was there, it was a bit of a rural area where the roads was still
tanah merah, if its raining, your car will be plowing the ground till u'r
stuck under 2 feet of mud. Red Mud. I remember being stuck once,
trying to change our flat tire in the rain, there was local passing by
and they smiled at us. like its a normal thing to be happening out there.'
He smiled, chuckled a bit and continue his story.
'definitely your car will be a mess then?'
'yes! and there were rules that u cant contaminate the city with the mud...
so u have to wash the car before entering the city' waaaa, then car wash
business are making profit lah yer:)

'The place was an harbour back then, the locals are very rugged u know'
at this point, i was imagining amy search with his tight leather pants
colourful shirt and long hair.
'well its not a mystery since most of them are fisherman and lumberjacks.
no wonder they have such well built bodies' oooo that rugged kaaaa... heheh

'back then i was still in the army, we were going out one day when one of our
officer gives direction to us to have our arms with us' Pocket yang tak pandai
english actually thought 'memang la bawak tangan.. takkan nak tinggal kot'
'it seems like everyone in the city owns a gun and u shouldnt be out there
without protection' oooo, arm as if armforce, gun was the meaning!!ok
'but sir, what do u protect yourself from anyway?'
an obvious question but yet i still asked.
'well.. animal mostly.. man can also be animal if u know what i'm saying'
haaa!!? animal here is referring to binatang buas ker? ada apa!? beruang? cipan? lipan?
'Sir, may i ask, when was this?'
'well... somewhat 20years ago, i was still young, so add in another five or so'

loh!! 25 tahun dulu!! logik laaaa... buat takut orang jer!
sekarang ni dah ok dah kot. tgk dlm google earth,
airport pun dah ada daah.. AdrySabry bleh komen pasal
keindahan LahadDatu tu sikit please:)
so banji, jangan risau... regardless of all the
story u might hear, i'm sure u'll be alright there bro.
am sorry i cant be there to send u off in KLIA.
me, Catty, aishah, aleya, Dewi and a few other girls
here are wishing u all the besh.
