I’m typing this while waiting for my younger brother, Roy, to come and pick me up. In a little while, we’ll be heading back to Ipoh together — my parents, myself… and of course, Haru. My little shadow. My soul cat. Wherever I go, she follows, as if she already knows that she’s part of every chapter of my life now.
This time, I’ll be spending a long holiday in Ipoh. A well-deserved break to reset, breathe, and let myself be pampered by my parents the way only parents can — with food, fussing, and that familiar comfort that feels like medicine for the soul.
I’m really hoping Haru behaves in the car again, just like she did on her past two road trips home. Fingers crossed she keeps calm and doesn’t hiss at anyone, claw my shoulder, or plot her escape plan halfway through the North-South Highway!
This is just a short update before we get on the road.
Stay tuned — more Ipoh stories coming soon!
Below are pix of our sumptuous dinner at Dancing Fish (Malay-Indo cuisine) @ BSC with my visiting SILs and their families from overseas last weekend.
