One day, somewhere along a long stretch of road, I felt completely lost.
While driving far from home, a question kept echoing in my head:
What the hell am I doing here?
Far from my family.
Did I get good pay?
Did I become rich?
No.
Back in my hometown, my family is doing better with their business. And there I was—alone on the road—questioning every choice I’ve made.
That familiar feeling returned.
The same feeling I had 20 years ago when I started my career in a palm oil mill, deep in a remote area of Sungai Kinabatangan. Lonely. Tired. Overwhelmed by challenges. Feeling like there was no one beside me.
That feeling always comes when exhaustion meets silence.
It flooded back again during a day trip to Medan—550 km of journey. Endless queues of lorries and vehicles. Poor road conditions. Motorcyclists everywhere, many without helmets, chaos moving inch by inch.
This is only the second month of Kembara 2026, yet in that moment, all I could think about was my wife.
Suddenly, everything became clear.
Maybe this journey is not just about places and distances.
Maybe it’s about realizing where my heart truly belongs.
I think… it’s time for me to go back home.
I really, really miss her.
