Arriving in Malaysia on race weekend and cheap tickets gave me the opportunity I had been waiting for. Having navigated my way to my family's original home town of Seremban, my Auntie (Mak Teh) and Uncle Ali were waiting for me. It is such a pleasure to be greeted by beaming smiles, even though it was two o'clock in the morning. Their house has got to be my second home. This is the house that my Dad even stayed in, when he visited Malaysia for the first time, nearly thirty years ago. I already felt comfortable. Early the next day I was to be picked up by ... read more
