not only that

always remember

slaves are disposable. the loyalty towards co is nothing when you are sick, worse thing is, company will kick u out once they think you are useless to them

Get a bike

Ini betul betul truth

Kampung got no entertainment for T20

cameron ? if u can tahan the traffic nightmare especially during weekend. was thinking the same thing too but I need to prepare myself to ride motorcycle again ( which I refrained myself from doing so for the past 40+ years )

Only 3 places I will consider:

1. Melaka
2. Ipoh
3. Pg mainland.

Ditto.
Moved back to Sarawak in 2015, and never looked back since. Best choice ever for me due to personal circumstances.
Occasionally will drop by in KL for works purpose, visiting friends/relatives, or for satisfying retail needs.
Other than that, I prefer moderately busy life in Kuching, though life here is slowly increasing in pace due to the ever growing city post covid.

kl not human stay one

now they are doing the same thing to taman melawati where i live. even now oso traffic is a standstill .

so many proposed condos back there near the green areas. in 10-20 years it will be near unhabitable as the sheer volume of ppl

deswai me now is saving for an exit plan to retire away from KL . even ipoh or some suburbs in Sabah is gooding.

job opportunities in smaller towns rather hard to come by
unless the some huge infra project coming up or factory move

currently staying in a small town
takes me 20 mins to cycle, drive 5 min, moto simpan kat opis gi bank kemana
ada gunung nak panjat
good food sana sini
nightlife boleh laaa but confirm not as hebat for young ones
mak ayah bini tak brapa jauh
janji gaji hujung bln

That is nice. I wish I had the same chance as you. When single I've worked a few stints in cities like KK and Tawau , Sabah for few years. I find it not as bad as KL . The town is a bit slow , yes. But It kinda grew on me . For Sarawak, I've heard Miri is also not bad?

Rent nearer to your workplace or some train station that gets you there faster

More and more job opportunities are available throughout Sarawak lately. Due to booming of new industries here, such as hydrogen, microalgae, renewable energy and etc.
Miri is a nice and clean city too, around 300k population and adjacent to Brunei. Pace is slower than Kuching.
From Miri can easily drive to Sabah, through Brunei and Limbang.

For Kuching, we may not have the largest malls and most popular retail franchises, but we have alot of heritage shoplots, museums, kampungs, beach, mountain, caves, rainforest, river, and cultural elements to enjoy.

KV also fast becoming KL

City living is not for everyone. If you cannot take it, suggest you move out before it takes a toll on you.

Also, why the need to go to malls? Just go somewhere over the weekend and enjoy it.

Go outside of KL, go to Janda Baik, go to Genting, go to Bentong, go to Sepang/Morib/Tanjung Sepat, go to Seremban, go to Melaka, go to musuem, etc....

use MRT. so much more convenient.

I always kesian ppl stuck in traffic jam when look down during MRT ride.

as someone who didnt grew up in city

i prefer living city

adi grow up living bored with nothing much to do

usually last mile transport is the problem.

maybe i am the strange one here, i am always the strange one in life

i prefer city life than rural life

Most of the jobs in Miri/Bintulu are oil and gas related...Not that diverse in terms of job opportunity..

If you are not in oil and gas, susah ler....

Either you like the cranped & fast paced city life or you like the peace of small towns

Nothing wrong with either

Janji hapi
