Decided to spend last night at my parents in Cheras simply because I wanted to watch something on TV which ended late. Didn’t even think about the consequences of having to drive all the way to Seputih during morning rush hour.
When my alarm rang at 6 o’clock, I decided to get out around 6.30 a.m. I remembered the last time I drove from my parents’ to work, it took me 2 hours to reach my office. That was a couple of years back, and I normally got out at 7 o’clock. I thought by going out half an hour earlier, I could escape the traffic and reach Seputih in 20 – 30 minutes, have 5 – 15 minutes for nap before getting dressed and go to work. Boy, was I wrong – I was on the road for the next whole hour! Having escaped traffic jams for the past 2 years, it felt so terrible! Especially with crazy drivers not turning their headlights on, and driving their vehicles really close beside my car but don’t actually got into my lane. I was wide awake as soon as I got onto the main road; I never really like adrenaline rushing through my body early in the morning – gets me tired quickly in the afternoon.
Luckily that was only in Cheras area. After the junction towards PJ, there were less vehicle and the drivers are more courteous. By this time, the sun started to rise and I realized how much I missed the feeling of calmness at these hours. The last time I actually enjoyed it was when I was in school – over 10 years ago! When my dad drove me to school in Form 3, and when I walked from my dorm to class during my years at the boarding school. The coolness of morning air, the misty fields – gosh I miss that!
Then I saw the ray of light – I actually watched the sun rising this morning, another blessing I have been missing for so long. It was really magical, and brought smile on my face, and even in my heart.
At that moment, I remembered my grandfather holding his thumbs up in my dreams on Sunday – yes, Grandpa, everything's going to be fine afterall… =)
