Critical Thoughts

Yet again in a spate of less than four weeks, I find myself in Penang again. Perhaps it was a blessing in disguise that the car broke down here and I left it for repairs a month ago. I am going to pick up the car today and drive around the island and visit those old, familiar places where I used to go back to my days in Sungai Ara twenty years ago. Unlike last time when I had my own house (it was sold in 1998), today I had to stay temporarily at someone else’s place. Just like everyone else in Pulau Pinang Darul CHA YA NUN ALIF, my friend is staying at a condo, which is where I am now.

I am going to pay a visit to my old school if the time permits. I’m anxious to see what changes are afoot there, since the last time I was there was in 1999. Who needs Klang Valley when you already have Penang?
