My second youngest sister is studying in Melbourne and she is loving it there and planned not to come back to Malaysia!! <br /><br />Angel: Yes, sometimes we have to accept the fact that we have been sent to a place that we might not like at all but because it is not left to us to choose, we have to go with the flow and who knows we might like it later!<br /><br />anthony stemke: I would like to visit England again too but like you finances don't permit it at the moment.<br /><br />ordinary malaysian: Yes, the TC beach. It is 20 minutes away from our apartment. We don't go there every week but maybe twice a year or when my family come for a visit. We haven't missed going there for the Lantern festival for 2 years in a row now. Maybe not this year with Leah still so small.<br /><br />Elena, Travelling Hawk, bidik art & Thisisme: Thank you so much for your comments!Fidelianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5415847947845553634.post-19250738590262424862011-08-07T17:06:08.878+08:002011-08-07T17:06:08.878+08:00I am so glad that you are happy with your life now...I am so glad that you are happy with your life now in Kuantan, with Duncan and your two beautiful little daughters. They probably keep you busy!! The shopping mall sounds good to me, but you certainly do seem to be in a good position with your apartment. I hope that you are enjoying writing your Friday posts, as we are enjoying reading them!

Kuantan is actually a nice place to live in. And you forgot to mention that Teluk Chempedak is nearby where you stay. The beach is a nice place to retreat to once in a while. I have tasted kolo mee here in Kuala Lumpur and Ampang but I guess it is not the same as the kolo mee in Sarawak. Bak kut teh is delicious, but I like the chicken version of the Chinese verbal soup. What's that about sago worms? I also love firecrackers and especially the fireworks. Festivals without them positively feel bland and so unfestive. However, they do make such a din. This post of yours is a good introduction to your life with your family in Kuantan.ordinary malaysianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07203213176296398467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5415847947845553634.post-11751564515538968052011-08-06T00:31:48.263+08:002011-08-06T00:31:48.263+08:00We love it here where we live in northeast Georgia...We love it here where we live in northeast Georgia (usa). It is quiet, although their is a freight railroad track a block away. No whistles, just the sound of the train is n ice to hear. Have serene mountains nearby We've planted many trees and enjoy looking at them. Pear trees had so much fruit, the weight broke the branch. We made pear relish. Same thing with peaches, made pie. Berries not too much I think rabbits are getting them. Pecan trees just sitting there leafless second year in a row. But we are very happy here. Would love to visit relatives in Birkenhead UK, but finances do not permit it.anthony stemkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15666462157746049139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5415847947845553634.post-68405147740054042752011-08-05T20:11:11.064+08:002011-08-05T20:11:11.064+08:00That's exactly what's happening to me righ...That's exactly what's happening to me right now. I mean the adjustment period. I am now teaching in Semporna and I experience excruciating boredom and culture shock. It's been a month and I still can't believe that I'm actually working here but I work hard everyday to convince myself that I need to just suck it up because I'll be here for at least 3 years! Hopefully, everything will get better soon.<br /><br />Btw, I super-love-like kolo mee. And laksa Sarawak :)Angelinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01750767130438284561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5415847947845553634.post-33376900708412575122011-08-05T17:21:42.993+08:002011-08-05T17:21:42.993+08:00I actually lived in Miri, Sarawak for a few years,...I actually lived in Miri, Sarawak for a few years, but it was around a time when I couldn't remember much because I was so young. I went back to Miri a couple of years back, and I know what you're talking about - the kolo mee is absolutely amazing.<br /><br />Since then, I've moved twice. There definitely is a lot of change when moving, and it takes a while to get comfortable and familiarise ourselves with the new place: this was certainly the case when I moved to Australia. I do enjoy my life here, and like you, it's partly because of the wonderful people that I've met and made friends with.<br /><br />Thanks for a great read, looking forward to your next post!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.michryn.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Ninja-ing my way through life</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10765676356960591922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5415847947845553634.post-65356122581100472752011-08-05T12:17:03.994+08:002011-08-05T12:17:03.994+08:00I think there is a natural adjustment period every...I think there is a natural adjustment period everyone must experience when moving to a new location. We all go through tough times acclimating to a new culture and meeting new people. I moved twice as a kid and it took me about a year in both situations. It took me a good year to get comfortable at my college also. <br /><br />I'm glad you are over the bump and are meeting great people. Another great post. See you next week!Paul Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07219724579550337686noreply@blogger.com
