"Dear Jane,
I came back at dawn ( 5:30 am Malaysian Time) on Sunday, the 29th Disember 2007, the flight by Saudi Arabia Air from Jeddah had been delayed for 10 hours. My beloved Dad and family members waited for me patiently at the KLIA. Immediately when we reached home, a small thanks giving feast (called kenduri in bahasa melayu) for immediate family members and neighbours was held at my Dad's place at Teluk Intan, Perak (one and a half hours journey drive from Ipoh). I still had a bad cough since three weeks ago so I decided to take another day rest at my Dad's place to allow the rest of my family members to visit me. Drove to Ipoh with my car loaded with my 46 days belonging, yesterday. I took almost one whole day to get "acquainted again" with my "slumber zone" that I have missed for sooooooo long! When I opened my 2, 900 ++ emails, after mid night yesterday or rather this morning, your ecard was top of the list....thank you for keeping in touch, for the gesture and the most important thing is you still remember me.
Hope life treating you very well. Please tell me more on your daily experiences. About your studies and your community activities in Beijing, I just love to learn about it. "
