Heart and Soul: Of childhood friendship and innocence


Graphic: 123rf

A few years ago, I travelled to Johor where I had spent much of my childhood. It was something I wanted to do, to tick off on my bucket list. I looked for my old schools and the old LLN quarters (Lembaga Letrik Negara/ National Electricity Board) where my family and I used to stay.

In Pontian, the LLN quarters that was my home, surrounded by beautiful angsana trees, was gone. In its place was a bustling street and the main office of TNB. I stood there for a while, looking at reality while reminiscing about the past.
