first start, the people, many of them just sucks...
2nd, my family is staying for 20 years in kuantan...
3rd, i came to kl for the reason that i need to work and earn a living, as there are virtually zero IT jobs in kuantan...
4th, kl is full of pollution, the very air we breathe, the water we drink... everything smells and taste diffrent, ESPECIALLY the FRESHNESS OF THE FOODS...
5th, i am brought up for 20 years in kuantan, i know every corner, turn and road in it... (except those outside my area of exploration but somehow i manage to find the way even if first time...)
6th, there are many other things in kl i hate... not just people...
7th, there is always plenty of time in kuantan as everything is so near!
8th, my true friends are in kuantan... we've been together for around 8 years and still sticking out for each other.
9th, my mum is in kuantan (ok u are asking why i put this the 9th? haha i love her man, the number doesn't count)
10th, during cny kuantan is da place... not kl. i know no shit about celebrating cny in kl, dunno wat to do!!
11th, there is much history of me in kuantan... so much + and - that have happen... which helped shaped who i am today....
12th, the beach rules... Teluk Chempedak pawns all other beaches in Penang, KL, Port Dickson, you name it every beach on the west coast (except Langkawi and the other islands)
13th, kuantan culture is so much more different then kl... ppl dont treat each other like enemies or competition... they are friendly... they dont have that "kl look" or dress like a "typical kl-ian", they don't give u more stress simply by talking to them... they value friendship... work culture is treating each other nice and not scolding and throw bamboo (seldom unless explode)...
14th, kuantan has almost everything, u name it malls, cybercafes, 7-11, every major fastfood including the less major such as starbucks, dunkin donuts.... gsc cinemas....
15th, u will love and understand the beauty of kuantan once u live there for a few years. A malay guy once told me when i was working as customer care in Maxis kuantan, that he went the whole malaysia (other states) to survey, only to find kuantan the place he love most. As he migrated from kl with his whole family to settle in a less "crazy" place (that is KL). Whoa! this made me proud when i first heard him say that about kuantan!
nyway, tomorrow i'm heading back to kuantan. pray for my safe journey and i wish all of you a very very happy chinese new year! =)
