I think its time for me to write something about this. it is so annoying listening to people around me speaking in kl dialect. We are here in kelantan. Why cant you speak kelantanese? I really HATE it when people fake their dialect on social media. Especially around young kids. Like to prove that youve been speaking that way with them since forever. Man, if you wanna be different and special. teach them another language. teaching them to speak in another language doesnt make them any special or intelligent. I grew up speaking kelantanese. At 7 years old, i need to write sentences in proper bm, no problem at all!
Dont really know how to stop people from thinking this way. But i hope one day theyll understand that speaking kl doesnt make you a prodigy. When i went to a's school for registration. I explained to her how a cannot speak bm at all. Didnt mean to brag at all. Then i said, but his grandmother speak kelantanese with him. And her face was like "huh?". But we dont teach kelantanese in this school. We teach them proper bm. So what? I thought in my head. When i went home, i recalled this scene in my head. And i realized how she belittled us for speaking kelantanese in our household. Shit!

City vs Village
Saw people bragging on facebook. How their lives in the city is better than us here. I personally prefer living in the village. Nothing is outdated anymore. You got fast internet, we also got fast internet. I can access any info any second right at the tip of my fingers.Just like you city dwellers. But we inhale fresh air while you inhale smoke. aha
FREEDOM
- How lucky i am to live here, in a place close to nature. Woke up by the sound of birds on the bamboo tree right outside of my windows.
- We spend less money here cause we dont have the culture of strolling around shopping malls. I dont feel jealous at all when poeple take their kids out in shopping carts. Cause i love taking my son out to nature. Or playing in a playground. You gain NOTHING from walking in a shopping malls. It's a system created by greedy people. To encourage you to spend more. And now everyone fell victim to this system. You became a slave to money-spending-culture.
- We have less stress here as it is less demanding. Of course when we live close to each other like this, you'd have a little bit of misunderstanding. But it's nothing compared to travelling a far return trip, everyday to your workplace. Facing the traffic. Spending money on tolls.
- Live high up in the sky (apartments) out of touch from the soil. While here, i get to sniff soil everyday. There's something magical about soil that keep you stay sane.
Will always be that country girl.
