What is life?

Last week my family is officially moved to our new house in Seri Kembangan. The first time I stepped in the ouse, I was amazing on how it was renovated. The ceiling is heavily decorated, the lights are a bright and exaggerated. (We aren’t that rich but why does my dad wants to spend his EPF savings like that?) More so, we are happy to have a larger house to move around, a room to ourselves (no longer sharing with my sister), and extra bathrooms.

However, I still feel something is amiss there….. I still don’t really feel the homely atmosphere is Seri Kembangan. I still miss the good old Kuala Lumpur…. and Cheras too… 18 years of my life staying there….. must have some "feel" towards KL city life and most of all the suburban nature of Cheras and Pudu…..

It was like already 18 years living in the city-turned-metropolis. I live in the outskirts of KL. I still remember a herd of cows were raised in the empty field and walk past my house every evening, now the field has becomed a row of shophouses, with local residents start up small businesses. The market, which it is still a hustle and bustle scene, has changed from using large umbrellas from heat and rain to aluminum roofs built by the government. Hawker stalls grow from just stalls with tables around it to a cemented flooring with a permenent roof over it, but the taste of the food has never been compromised. Look, the bookstore where I used to buy stationery supplies and use photocopy stuffs has evolved from a simple bookstore to an expanded, air-conditioned and even recently installed glass doors to invite their good old customers.

Moving along the hectic city life, where my friends find places to hangout and have fun… arcades, bowling allies, cinemas, shops to browse, you name it. Shopping complexes sprawling in Bukit Bintang areas, with facilities that cater customers young and old. Traffic jam is unavoidable, but at least the public transport becomes more and more convienent and comfortable. From pink open-aired mini buses where squeezing is always happens, to air conditioned buses, LRTs and a monorail. Well seri kembangan is not that bad, except the network is not as complex as KL and fun places are often mean faraway.

OH well, time to make myself comfy in this new home…. Life goes on even when things changed….
