Green Green Grass By The River

 "Rainy days now here in Malacca, remind me of Monsoon season back then when I was in Terengganu".

 

 

November approaching and I've been dragging much time -- adapting to new place, new environment -- Malacca. 

It's been roughly 7 months ever since I moved here from Terengganu. 

Surely, I missed my hometown in Selangor and KL more than everywhere else. 

Somehow I'm thankful that 

I'm everywhere since, 

I never like to be at the same spot 

and be safe at my comfort zone!

It took me sometimes to cherish Malacca is the place that I should be called my home for now.

Even though Malacca geographically located not very far away from Klang Valley 

(but, I am a true SELANGORIAN TOTOK and I am homesick). 

Or perhaps, I miss Terengganu more than KL and Klang Valley area in Selangor! 

I miss Pasar Payang, 

vintage classic cafe house 

and the calmness,

and the serene,

beautiful stunning beaches.

 

But nevertheless, for sure 

sometimes... 

whenever 

I'm far away, 

I find me reminiscing and

imagining myself at my all time favorites

shopping place/bookstores.

I miss metropolitan and urban city malls

above anything else matters. Ish ish ish.

As for now, 

I suggest me to stop day dreaming 

and let me just embrace my journey 

from East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia 

to the southern part 

and be grateful 

that I had so much freedom 

to live a life and to be alive 

to be able, to breathe, 

and stay alive. 

The environment are much different 

from Terengganu 'tenang vibes'--

Every morning, 

I greet the sun and birds 

engaging with nature and beaches. 

In contrary here at my new place, 

it took me long hours

to reach my destinations

due to dozens of traffic lights 

at every corner of Malacca city.

They say, "This is Malacca. Welcome to 

Malacca Darul Traffic Light".

From greeting sunny beaches every morning 

to chaotic traffic jammed situations. 

I'm simply shock and headache! Hahahaha

I truely missed sotong celop tepung, 

coconut tress and sandy beaches.

Taking consideration on this matters, 

I don't think I ever meant to live in the city. 

Maybe I shall come back to nature and serene beaches. Haha. 

Wait for me

Just you wait!

But as for now, 

I'm fine on my own and I'll be balance-- 

I cultivate my joy. Yeah.

I shall explore Malacca soon.

Embrace Malacca! Haha

Sincerely, 

L.D Bertenang
