Am a proud Taipingese! ;)

18 years spent in Taiping, 6 years spent in KL.. I'm proud to present..



















Taiping Sentral!!! T3T

I've never ever expect there gonna be such a development in my little hometown. Town of everlasting peace. Probably they're trying to preserve the so-called peace, there's not much progress eversince I was born. A close relative once said, "Eh! The last time I've been here was like 10 years ago and everything is still the same!"

But these 2 years there're so much of drastic changes, so much of progress in this old town. Tesco was built last year that caused massive traffic jam in all areas nearby. It also caused the crowd to shift from old town central to Kamunting area (they called it new town??). The Store and Fajar were both losing their businesses. Mind you, these 2 small supermarkets used to be the place I lepak-ed during schooling time :P The pasar malam area which used to be very crowded seemed so quiet the last time I went back. Some said it's the change of Feng Shui..

And recently, we have new shopping complex.



















I never expect to have a proper shopping complex in Taiping, never ever. T3T It's like a dream come true cannn!!!

Starbucks, Old Town white coffee.. gaWd, new gathering places during CNY! ;) And Sushi King! And Noodle Station! :D

I went with my family last weekend when I was back for Mooncake Festival. Guess where I had my dinner..



















Kenny Rogers Roasters!!!! :D :D :D :D

























I don't know why, but it tasted better in Taiping.. HAHA!

Taipingese, tell me. Ain't you proud?? Ain't you proud?? ;) This is what I call scenary shot ;)

























And we have Vincci too!!! I think other stores selling shoes can zhap lap very soon.. hehe



















I heard there'll be cinemas too in a few weeks time OMG Do you know how long the Taipingese suffered without a CINEMA!!!! T______T I'm not exaggerating, more than 15 years I think, we lived without it. We used to have 3 cinemas, but 1 burnt down, 1 closed down, and I'm not sure what happened to the other one. And now it's coming back!! :D

I'm born a Taipingese, live a Taipingese, die a Taipingese.

To all of you who're working overseas, come back. Peluang pekerjaan banyak di Taiping. Masa depan janji cerah.

Taiping, ada OooMmpHhhh!!

josie said...

AIYO you khi siao ahh?? just because Taiping Sentral opened you became so fanatic and lunatic all of a sudden. Please la. It's about time Taiping transform la. People already merdeka 51 years wei. LOL.... meow oh meOoww~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

piko said...

when transformation's taken over, there will be less and less things that can be mentioned as 'good ol' this and that... its a pity really... sad, to see things we cherish as kids being taken away one by one. but well, maybe just me though, being mellow about the good ol's this and that...

c r y s t said...

josie: Perempuan! Why you no feel one arr!! Are you modernized already!

piko: I totally understand you ;( Memories remain but still I think it's about time to upgrade after so many years we lived in the dark.. *sobs*

The opening of Taiping Sentral does not mean there are job opportunities emerge. There are also some shopping complexs in Ipoh but why there are still many people earn a living overseas or at big city like KL instead of working there.

c r y s t said...

With that little modernization in a small town, job opportunities will definately be more in demand but younger generations (me for example) would opt to work in bigger cities for sure.But no doubt, more ppl will stay there if compared to last time..

*sigh* you don't get my joke... T__T
