driving ms maisarah

took a nice early morning slow drive to send maisarah to school this morning.
it's sunday but maisarah had a mind mapping course to attend.
it was quiet and cool with the sun's rays muted behind clouds and mists rising from damp grounds and trees.
lovely scene actually. *
we decided to turn off the airconditioning and wound down the car windows all the way.
it was a refreshing change for our senses.

fresh wind (sometimes laced with exhaust fumes) rushing in, sounds of cars whizzing past, tires scrunching on the road, early morning bird calls and at one point, a wild 'ayam hutan' flew across the highway right in front of the car to get to the other side of the road. flew, not run. impressive little fowl!

this reminds me of those days when my grandfather used to drive us around in his volvo when we were in kulim, kedah. exact same feeling, just less noisy as we were not on highways or big 2 laned roads. i miss those simple days.
