Kampung Days in Ink
With pen and ink, old memories flow,
Of kampung days from long ago.
Through Lat's cartoons, we laugh and see,
The simple joys of days gone by.
I Missed the Gallery — But Never Mind Lah!
During our Ipoh visit, Hubby and Ah Boy went into Lat's Gallery while I stayed behind to look after Mama.
Although I missed the gallery, I still got to visit the little house where Lat once lived. A simple place, but one filled with childhood memories and inspiration.
Me: “Never mind lah, next time.”
Hubby: “You always say next time.”
Me: “That's how I make sure we have somewhere to wander back to!”
So, Lat's Gallery will have to wait until my next Ipoh adventure. At least I have a good excuse to return!
Stepping Into Lat's Kampung World
Up the wooden steps I went, into Lat's old kampung home.
The wooden walls, old windows and simple furnishings brought back memories of a bygone era.
Me: “Eh, this staircase looks familiar. Like something from Lat's cartoons!”
And while taking my selfie, I couldn't help thinking...
If Kampung Boy suddenly appeared behind me, I wouldn't be surprised at all!
For a moment, it felt as though I'd wandered straight into Lat's cartoon world.
Gallery Missed, Kampung Boy Brought Home!
Since I couldn't visit Lat's Gallery, Hubby bought me a Lat coffee mug as a consolation prize.
Me: “Aiyah, missed the gallery leh!”
Hubby: “Never mind. Got souvenir.”
Me: “Wah! Cannot see Kampung Boy, so you bring him home for me ah?”
Now, whenever I enjoy my kopi from that mug, I'll remember our little Ipoh adventure.
Lat's Gallery, wait for me! Next time I come knocking!
