I took this shoot in Tanjung Rhu Langkawi. Supposely I was enjoying the beauty of nature (even under tremendrous hot sun) but I saw this fishing boat...

A fishing boat with two old couples on it. My heart was wondering, where is their children? Most of the young children has gone to bigger town to look for a better living. Some of them is so busy with their daily activities and did not even bother to call their parents even once a month.

The reason? Simple..I am too busy, telephone charges is expensive, too tired and many other reasons.

The fact? They are having a drink with their friends, Too much call for their girlfriend or boyfriend, come home too late hanging out.

Has this particular group of people ever remember how their parents raise them? As for this couple they may have to fish till the old days to raise their children and for their own cost of living.

With reference to the title of this picture "Kembalilah KeSisi Mu" meant "Please Return To Me" I urge for those who may have forgotten to call our parents today, Please call them and tell them how much they mean to you.


PS: This picture was taken with monochrome setting with additional red filter to enhance the contrast. Post editing was done with PS CS3.

Hello Adam,
Like a scene from an old P Ramlee's film. Nice gunung background & a bit of island. I like the grainy look. This is quite a zoom. Salam. Latiff.
