"and hope for something more" -Yuna

I just returned from an epic trip to Malaysia--- 

though I've been before and had life-changing experiences 

while there previously, 

this recent trip 

might have been the greatest yet. 

I spent most of my time in Langkawi, 

an archipelago known for its mysterious legends 

and 

beautiful mangroves, 

eagles, 

diving,

laid-back beaches and super friendly locals

Most of the tourists are mainland Malaysians 

or Indian families/groups of friends on holiday. 

I can say without a doubt that I have never seen so many people on the beach at sunset engaged in 

good-hearted tom-foolery 

as I did on Cenang Beach. 

I have a lot more to write about my trip overall-- but for now,  let's just say, I was sitting drinking coffee talking to the guy sitting at the table next to me about the best places to get chicken curry in town-- at least 100 places to get good food around-- "and how can you possibly navigate" and====

then a song came on, and I recognised it, but couldn't place it at first.
 It was Yuna, a Malaysian artist I've followed in the past, 
but hearing her song on the radio in her home country 

was a strange experience indeed. 

A playful, colourful relationship Malaysians have with nature

rawness and lyrics

g'night---more to come soon la!
