It's Thursday. Thank god it is nearing weekend. One more day left. Two stupid days of the weekend to rest. How I wish?..
Well, this weekend I am heading to my friend's hometown. The town was named after horse mouth in chinese hence called Bahau. Weird you will say that. But I think it is quite unassumingly nice name. It sounded not like a town but more instead of a fishing-village island.
When I first heard of the name, Bahau, I went imagining a place in which one needs to board a boat to and from the place. The fishing village would look like this... wooden houses built above the sea supported by rickety legs that extend into the sea.
But my friend who (no longer) lives there or should I say originated from there, told me that it is actually a town located at the edge of Negeri Sembilan. Rubber and oil-palm plantations occupy the small town. He said his house was somewhere in the middle of the rubber plantation where his father worked as a rubber tapper. His mom too. The electricty was usually supplied till 10pm every single day! Once he told me this, I straight away thought he lived in a wooden house in a middle of a clearing surrounded by rubber trees. So I thought by going there it would provide a new experience to me.
Once I got to his house, I was literally shocked, his house was not the wooden house that I have envisioned but a one-storey terrace house with electricity supplied the whole day and night. I felt relieved instantly since I didn't require to brave myself through living in a wooden house in the middle of a rubber plantation, especially in the middle of the night. Creepy..He later informed me that he indeed previously lived in a housing provided by the plantation authority. The supply of electricity was indeed halted at 10pm.
He recently just bought a car. A nissan sentra '97 model. That's why this time we (three of us including him) head back to his hometown by car on this weekend. How excited I am. You guys out there if you are reading this, and happen to have spare time in the weekend, drive to this town Bahau, and be enticed by the charm of the town.
I will not tell much about the place because I want the place as eerie and msyterious as possible. For those who have been there, you know what I mean. That's all from now.
