Ella Fitzgerald remains one of my favorites. Nature boy, the song she sang seems descriptive of my life. Listening to it over and again lifted my spirit and deepened my search for existential experiences.

While browsing the web, I found an article (in Malay) in this link which is of great interest.
"Mengapa anak Kelantan suka merantau" or "Why sons and daughters of Kelantan are more likely to emigrate?" The article resonates with me. It describes me somewhat albeit not completely.
