Between village and town


This is a beautiful scene from a typical kampung in Kelantan. Full of green trees and lots of land.

A typical village folks usually work as farmer or breeding cows or goats. Town peoples live a faster pace of life. They need BMW and Mercedes as a trademark of success. Their house could easily reach millions of price tag.

Village peoples on the other way live a simpler life. When I am young, I thought live in town is better. The quality is better and facility is nearer. That's good also for certain extend.

But as I'm getting older, I realized that in "kampung" the life is fresher and calmer. And you got a deeper meaning. The relationship parts is the most positive aspect of "kampung" life.

Family and society are of simpler mind and good mannered also. Somehow there is always bad guy wherever you want to stay either town or country. If I have money, I will choose Kampung. I need to stay in town though because I need to earn money. So it is a sort of dilemma for me and many of us , I believe. If you stay back in Kelantan, it is almost difficult to make money. Why, the factory is scarce and the industry is not mature. There are also no big ports such as Port Klang or Penang Port.

In KL, there are lots of job opportunity. With job come lots of money. In town though, what the most important is style, rather than substance. So remember, anything you choose, just pay the price in present and handsomely. Anyway life sometimes offer us great sadness.

The message: All in all, be a responsible citizen of the earth. Reduce the usage of plastic bag.

This BMW was illegally parked beside PWTC. Will the authority do something?
