"Balik KL, balik kampung, balik Kedah..."
How many homes do I have? Everytime my neighbour would ask where I'm going when she sees me packing my stuff into the car and I'll say, "balik kampung" or "balik KL". In KL or kampung, the question would sound like, "bila nak balik Jitra?". The word "balik" connotes going home. But where exactly is my home, I wonder. Kampung? I don't leave there anymore, at least for the next 10 years or so. KL? It is not my house that I go back to. It's my sister's. Here in Kedah? I'm just renting. Although I've been here for almost three years now, but don't really feel like it's my home. So where is "home"? Hmmmmm...

Macam ni lah noye - rumah adalah di mana hati ada, can? (translation: home is where there heart is...he he he..wa sekarang sedang membaiki bahasa ibunda sebab nak tulih paper in bahasa ibunda..he he he)
kalo hati mu berada di ikan sungai segamat maka di situ lah romah mu...kalo hati mu berada di taipan, subang jaya maka di situ lah rumah mu.....
hati gue tatap berada di Boston, Bali and Christchurch...so di situlah "home" gue walaupung secara fizikal tidak ada struktur binaan yg bore ku pulang kepada tetapi at anytime gue bore pulang ke pangkuang Dumbo, Lily, Kak Hajar Chch & Bu Tinuk (tu nama kedai makan di Kuta...ha ha ha...)
Bagi memudahkan mental dan emosi ku memahami kompleksiti meletakkan tapak diri makan "home" ku adalah di Puteri Indah, Paris and Kelana Jaya sebab di Puteri Indah gue bore sepah2 harta tanpa perlu pedulikang perasaang orang & gue bore ajak orang yg wa suka seperti lu & geng Badak at anytime lepak kat sini & kasi kunci rumah yg lu selalu tak bawak...:)(so Intang bila wa che mpus lu kena cepat2 mai angkat handbag sebab Noye pung ada kunci & dia mungkin lambat sket sb kena drive dri Sintok..he he he), di Paris ada orang yang akang tolong kutip sepahan(bukang Tok Lebaq tapi adik & anak sedara Tok Lebaq..:) dan di Kelana Jaya, Tuan Gabenor akan cakap "bila you nak BALIK KJ lagi Ngah..." That would be enough assurance that thats home for me...lagipung kat KJ banyak gambaq wa di pamerkan di atas piano....di Kajang gambaq saiz ic pung orang tak letak...gambaq Auntie Mala & Uncle Che Mi pung ada...uwarghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.......
Sekian, tazkirah utk malam ini selepas pi tengok woyang ngan Chor "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" yg kelakar gila gelak golek2 dan lu wajib pi....and pas tu kami pi makang pancake di Paddington Pancake House & makang Blueberry Pancake with Scramble Egg & Cream Cheese & Mushroom & trus teringat International Pancake House di Watertown,Bostong...uwarghhhhhhhhh
