Musafir Dijalanan

It was quite a journey to Kuantan last Thursday. In the morning, we deposited Aliyah at my second sister's place, complete with her change of clothes for we wanted her to spend the night there. Dunno what time we'll be back from Kuantan. It was 3 days before Raya and we are sure the roads will be jam-packed.

Our journey started at around 10.30am and Hubby took the wheels adhering to all speed limits. As a result, we reached Kuantan about 4 hours later. There were 3 companies being shortlisted and we met my ex-colleagues of my previous employer. Our session ended at about 5pm. I really don't know what our chances are. I believe we did good but of course we never know.

We straight away went back, no rest whatsoever, armed with a couple of bottled and canned drinks to break fast along the way. It rained and we heard on the radio almost all roads in KL are jammed. By then, cars heading up to east coast have started to gain in numbers. We break fast while driving and target to reach Genting Sempah by 7.30pm for some McDonalds. But then, by the time we reached there, cars have piled up, the drive thru lane was so long, we had to park. Inside, the queue at the counter was also so so long it went down the stairs.

We finally got our food at about 8.30pm - just burgers minus the sold out fries. By then we were both so exhausted. But we still have at least another hour of driving before we reach home. Mencabarnya perjalanan we all. Memang rasa macam musafir dengan cabaran like long journey, heavy rain, traffic jam, a meeting/presentation... We looked at each other while eating our simple meal and thought - this is our life, whatever hardships that come our way, we face them together...

Pray that we did good and hope that our rezeki will be there...
