This morning was blurred by a thin curtain of mist, gently floating among the leaves. Nevertheless in the serenity I could hear the rhythm of raindrops and the whisper of gentle  breeze. Then unknowingly I felt my mind  slowly floating into old memories. Anyhow  I couldn't hold back my memory of late 50s. Where the rain brought excitement and joy. Regardless of girls and boys, every single drop of rain was like a rhythm of a song that brings  nostalgia back. We're wet together and we're happy together.

Rain, rain, go away
Come again another day
Brother wants to play
Rain, rain, go away

(The traditional nursery rhyme)

Lembak Relative

Those  were the days of my nostalgic memories of  Sungai Choh  in the late 50s. My friends and I, of course danced happily following the rhythm of the rain, and together with the wild cry.  Just to answer "the battle cry" of the thunder. By then we were really the children of the season, and the  guests of nature. But then, all of a sudden a drop of tears flowed down my cheeks. Might be this was only  my imagination or might be the morning mist got into my eyes. Oh God, I really miss the rain dance. Where are you now my old friends? I really miss you all. Until now you are all gone without leaving any trace.

We really chilled to the bones then. But the joy was everything to ignore the cold. We could not deny the dripping sound of raindrops and the humming sound of wind. So exciting and enchanting. Thus, each shared moment gave deep meaning to the life of every child back then. Then unknowingly everything synchronized to form the melodious rhythm of rain dance.  So we kept on  dancing and singing,  until the last raindrop.

Masihkah kau ingat
Ia menjadi mimpi dan menjadi rindu
Masihkah kau ingat
Masihkah kau ingat

Kita berlari-lari di kaki langit mencari pelangi
Lalu hujan turun kita basah bersama
Masihkah kau ingat
Masihkah kau ingat
