“Today we just decided to take the train, we don’t want the jam! If we had taken the car, we wouldn’t even have reached here yet. Driving back to our hometown at Kelantan takes around 8 hours without traffic, but during Raya it should be around 12 hours. I remember for Hari Raya Haji last year, it took us 16 hours to reach Kota Bharu. Thankfully its my husband who’s driving! We would love to take the train or the motorcycle, as its a really quick trip. But because of the jam, we’ll take the car. Once at Kelantan I’ll just want to go to sleep, right after giving the kuih-kuih I’ve made for the entire family and relatives.”
