Pengerrang Trip on Hari Raya Haji

On the 13th Oct, Derick and I visited my favourite hunt place in Malaysia for a small getaway. It is called Pengerrang or "Si Wan Dao" meaning the fourth turn in northwest malaysia. It was a small hometown where locals survived through the living of selling seafood to Singapore both fresh and cooked.
In this hometown, basically nothing but just eat and sleep. No entertainment, no movie theatre, no shopping centre, no wet markets, no foodcourt. All they had was the most basic of life. Wet Market was done on mobile transport. Like the butcher will come and stop at the same spot everyday on his caravan like car without proper fridge or preservatives. The fish monger will come out ans sell only in the evening. Fishes displayed in pails freshly catched from the sea.
Coffeeshop and seafood resaturant was the only entertainment the whole hometown have. Yet they are very self satisfied. Toddlers sitting in baskt right at the handles of the motorcycle the dad drove. Kids playing hide and seek, running around the town area barefooted yet you can see the happiness in their eyes. Youngster helping the old parents selling laksa in front of the house happily.
All these awake us...When one lives around materialistic enviroment, one would want more and more. When one is living in the most basic of life, one could see happiness everywhere.
