Mid-May syndrome
Another summer day
Has come and gone away
In Paris and Rome
But I wanna go
Home. Papa, Mommy, Hau-kor and Ning. Lazy evenings spent at Wai Gong's watching Wah Lai Toi. Wai Po's deep fried pork fats cooked especially for her pork-starved granddaughter. My Petrof piano. The cold marble floor that's so inviting to step onto after coming in from the sweltering midday heat. Dragging myself out of bed on Saturday mornings to eat pork noodles at the Chinese Town Hall with Mommy. Hot chu cheong fun tapau-ed home lovingly by Papa. Going to DUMC with Hau-kor and the chats we have on the way there. Ning's more-than-occassional thoughtful little treats of fried potato sticks she buys from school just for me. The KL skyline by night. Cruising down the KL-Ampang elevated highway listening to Light&Easy. Natalie and Ashley. Driving out to Kampung Baharu with mommy just to buy some Malay kuih for teatime. Khai Ma's weekly drop-by's to chat while waiting to pick Jane, Amelia or Eugene up from tuition. That delicious feeling of relief you get when you step into an air-conditioned shop after being out in the hot sun. Browsing to my heart's content at MPH and Kinokuniya. Brunch at OUG with Ah Yee's family. Lazing around at Ah Yee's place in Seri Petaling reading Tracy's inexhaustible supply of Seventeen mag, lol. Discussing the latest fashion fads with Ah Yee and Tracy. Garlic cheese naan at Steven's Corner with a hot cup of teh tarik. Curling up on my favourite couch with a good book while listening to Light&Easy on the almost-vintage family radio. Falling asleep on the couch with the dim lights on. Tinkling on the piano whenever I feel like it. Afternoon naps that last 3 hours. Watching MTV alone at midnight while the whole family is fast asleep. Shopping. Bintang Walk in all its glamour and trendiness. Admiring the swanky hotels on the way there. Tom yam at the Thai lady's shop in Perting village. Solemn Sunday services at CMC Bentong that turn into a lively family reunion by the end of service. Agape feast every first Sunday of the month. Feeling like I belong in church. Being pampered and treated like a princess (for the first few weeks at least). Not wishing I was somewhere else.
Another aeroplane
Another sunny place
I'm lucky I know
But I wanna go home
Mmm, I've got to go home..

It is these little anticipations that keep us moving forward... and to cherish and treasure the excitement when we are there... Look around, indeed, we are lucky to be here... =)
