My Hometown

Many may not be familiar with this little town called KUALA KRAI. It is in the middle of Kelantan, one of the most interesting states in the country. If you have never heard of this 'exciting' town, well, I don't blame you. Pay a visit, get acquainted with it and surely you will like it. I'm not bragging. You will be surprise and fall in love at first sight.
Many have been here and some had been here umpteen years, having uprooted their entire families from Johore, Negri Sembilan Wilayah Persekutuan, Penang, you name you have it. This little town is well represented with people all over the country finding, afterall, Kuala Krai is not too bad. Peaceful, serene and its loving people, why not make this place your permanent abode. things are easily available and within walking distance. If you are an exercise freak, there are plenty of nice jogging tracks with its lush greneries, where you can jog your hearts out!
Food is not a problem here and you can never go hungry 24 hours a day. Language should not be a barrier, though bahasa kelate is the official language here. Mandarin is easily understood by all, young and old plus all the dialects spoken in the Chinese world. So you see you shouldn't think anymore but find your way here and enjoy the easily forgottten heaven.
Oh yeah, before I forget. If you love to hear birds singing or rather bird lovers, then you are moving in the right direction. It is terribly lucrative trade. What are doing waiting for?

Respect your parents


Calling all teenagers! Respect your parents and you can never go wrong. In fact God exalts us children to respect our parents that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth (Ephesians 6:3)
Your parents may scold you and may be tough on you. It is all for your own good. You may find it hard to swallow and angry but at the end of the day, they are your parents. Today the world is so chaotic and uncertain. Anything can happen once children are outside. Therefore it is only natural that parents are afraid their children may be in the wrong company or up to something that is no good. All parents love their children and want them to grow up to be useful people, pleasing and loving. Nagging, scolding grumbling and all the unwanted noises can sound terrible but take them in your stride. Treat them as music to the ears and the situation will be all right. If your parents or grandparents nag and nag you, just be cool, smile, talk to them or may be offer them some tea. That will be a refreshing change and it may work.
Remember we will all grow old one day. Could we be worse than the situation now? Could we be nagging even more or grumbling from morning to night? How would your children feel or say? Think about it. Ponder about it
Whatever happens, never, never forget your parents. At the end of the day, they are the ones who will stand by you, forgiving you and forever cherishing you in their souls. When you are far away from home, don't forget to call. Your voice is enough to light up their lives and give them thousands of reasons to smile

Your friendly servant
