Remember.....

We met for breakfast. As i had thought, the topic of conversation was centred around her adaptation to life in the city and the grandchild of course. After breakfast, the three of us set out to paint the town red. Our first task was to accompany her to three banks to close accounts and to transfer funds to other accounts. Then we to the shops and the market to get all the much need ingredients for her cooking spree in the city. The amount of food and dried ingredients that she bought will be enough to last her for the next two months or so. She kept telling us that it is so easy to get all the stuff she needed in a small town like Teluk Intan which, of course, i totally agreed with her. This is one of the reasons which i would like to stay permanently in this small town. I would certainly like to go 'jalan-jalan' in the city once in a while.['Jalan-jalan' means visiting or touring in the local language].
Many of my friends who had migrated to bigger cities always have the same old complain when they come back to visit Teluk Intan. The people in TI are so much friendlier. It is so easy to buy stuff needed for cooking. In the big cities, one has to travel a long distance just to get some stuff. The most important thing is, just with a trip to the town, all the household bills will be paid. In the cities, one has to locate the relevant places first before one can pay the bills and these offices can be far from each other. Not so in Teluk Intan. One can just park the car in one place and almost all the offices are within walking distance. Well, my advice to all my friends who were adventurous enough to migrate to cities after retirement is this...it's time to learn to use the computer and pay all your bills online........hahaha........
