Life in Batu Pahat

Hometown suppose to be where you are most comfortable right? It should bring back memorable memories right? It should be a livelier place since you grew up there right? Right. The answer should be right isnt it?

I doubt it.

Life here seems to be slow. Too slow for my taste. If i were to rewind back 3 years when i was form 5 i still can take it. Now it's seems so unbearable.

As always, i'm home alone again. Dad went out to find his friends and grandma went out to the shop ( we have our own shop here). Lucky i got psp and cc as my saviors.

Things get interesting at night though. You can say my house is located in a very strategy spot. It's basically in the center of everything you need. The main bus station, the store, 7 eleven, marrybrown, batik shop, watson, are behind my house. Then the left of the house is a newspaper agency, salon, clinic, photostat shop. By the way my house is a shop house, so below us is a cafe. Then on the right, we have clothes, mechanic, bookshop, chinese medicine and water filter shop.

So like i said, basically you have everything you need. Even when you die, there's a funeral parlor opposite of my house across the road. No need to worry bout josssticks and all, you can get it in the shop next to the funeral parlor. Oh ya, there's also a computer and tyre shop there too. Then nearby also got a temple. Super duper convenient.

Go anywhere also convenient and very near. I just take about 5 mins walk to the bus station only. Life here is simple. The houses are not very far off. There are some distance where you can do the walking.

At night it gets more interesting. Occasionally you can hear those chinese operas (i'm not sure bout this. It's like got people sing in dunno what language, the voice quite high pitch then the background music quite bising wan) So if you are watching tv in the hall, usually have to increase the volume because it's sometimes too noisy until you cannot hear the tv audio. Sometimes, quite seldom la, you can hear people mourning. I mean real life people, not ghost. Then if you are those who are bat-alike ( sleep in the day, awake at night), you get a chance to hear cats get high and making out ( mating?).

One more thing to complain before my post ends, i dislike bp drivers. They are neither slow or fast. Especially when it comes to road crossing. They will tend to be unbearable slow from far away but when you're bout to cross the road, they will drive faster.

And is it just me or there have been more cars lately? Such a small town yet so many cars.

ish ish
