In about two weeks time, it will be time for Aidil Fitri. It will be time of celebration and balik kampung. Well, we are no exception. For husband and wife who shares home town , it is such a bonus to them since they can spend first day of Aidil Fitri in both places. As for me and others whose hometown is halfway of Peninsular Malaysia, most chosen to drive home. Eventhough we can opt for taking flight, since there is so many things to be packed along, so the choice of driving is more appropriate. Here are 3 tips to ponder if you’re driving more than 3 hours to reach your hometown for celebrating Hari Raya:
1.Check your vehicle
Tyres, check! Engine water , check!Service your car, check!Road tax, check!Licence, check!
Make sure your vehicles are all safe and sound before starting your journey home. And make sure all of your vehicle’s document like road tax, insurance and license are up to date
2.Take turns
You can consider to take turn driving with your partner or family member(that can drive and have license, of course!) if your journey is more than 6 exhausting hours.
3.Rest and relax
If you’re feeling tired and sleepy, pull over to nearest R & R station , gas station or restaurant to rest, and relax to get enough energy to continue driving. Since most of us are driving during this fasting months, must consider to pull over a while , and take a nap. You can opt to drive at night , but the coldness of night time also can make you sleepy. Prepare some grubs to chew on during driving. Your partner can keep awake to accompany you.
As for me, since I’m having a journey from Kluang to Kota Bharu(which will take 12 hours if we drive non-stop), my husband and I have opted to stay overnight in Kuantan which is halfway to Kota Bharu. By tomorrow morning when we continue our journey, the tiredness and sleepiness is all gone and we feel recharged! We always do this since we’re having our daughter. During each balik kampung, we stay in different hotels each time before deciding which is comfortable,affordable and baby/kids -friendly. Kinda adventurous and I even write my personal review for each hotel. Staying overnight to rest and recharge has proven to make our journey less tiring, safer and enjoyable.
Have a safe journey and happy Hari Raya!
