What makes KL so KL?

October 19, 2009 · 57 comments

Fast pace of Kuala Lumpur!
Good day my dear readers, in today’s lesson we will take a closer look at a very interesting words, perhaps one of the most attractive words in the Malaysian language today, it’s “Kuala” and “Lumpur”.


Basically, peoples here come from all sort of background. Kedahian, Kelantanese, Penang etc, surviving and having fun together. I’ve seen two guys in Pudu speaking each other in two different “loghat”, one’s Terengganu while the other Kedah, talking fast like they are understand each other, in fact none of them understand. I laughed! Peoples here also speak english but in their own way (rojak), which is hard for me to understand, yet I’m still glad at least they try even there are many grammatical mistakes (like me huh?).hohoh! Can I call it KLinglish?

Peoples here are workaholic. They work really hard all day long on a fast pace life. If you go and take a walk during a day, you’ll be surprise to see how fast they walk comparing to people in other place. Yet they still have time for charity, party, checking out gigs, watching movies or stay up late regularly, despite the hardwork on a long hours. Most of them keep their good time to have fun on the night.

“Kuala Lumpur’s nightlife is like zombie, one moments its declared dead then the next moments its back to life.”

Sometimes, unexpected things happen here. I’ve experienced it myself :

Situation 1 :

    Jalan P.Ramlee, I was lepaking with friends on the roadside when I saw a topless guy running without shoes, bottle in hand, scream like hell. He was extremely drunk! It was terrible. This actually happen and I still have trouble believing it.lol!

Situation 2 :

    Putra Dang Wangi Station, I was queing for train, when the train doors open peoples suddenly rush in for seats without even giving a damn about other peoples. I felt very angry that time. It’s just so bloody rude man!

Yeah, this is Kuala Lumpur. You’ll never know what to expect. Sometimes its painful, sometimes its wonderful, most of the time its both. Yet, I still love the city, and bet you gonna love it too. There is so much to do here. The people, the fashion, the nightlife and so much more. Simply just explore, you’ll be fascinated by it.

p/s : I’m tired of typing “people here” repeatedly. What should I call them? KLites? Kuala Lumpurian? hohoh!

i read one article regarding to life in KL, i can’t remember who wrote it but I think it from Junk mag, he say nowadays people in KL don’t mind other people business, they just mind their own. They don’t care what happen to other people, even their neighbor, even if you stay at apartment it hard to get neighbor that at least willing to exchange dishes. And last thing that he said, KL like that because we make it KL like that. KL can be much better if we care.

2 benda aku tak suka apabila berada di KL

1st bila mana aku masuk KL, pasti jem….so jangan masuk KL bilamana rasa tertekan. TUnggu mood ok dulu baru pegi sana.

2nd bila mana aku nek train nak pulang ke rumah, pasti aku akan berdiri dalam kepadatan tin sardin. Jadi pastikan tak naik train dalam keadaan ngantuk, Kalau tak macamana nak tido berdiri!

Reply

27 naz October 20, 2009 at 3:37 pm

yang 1st tu mmg standard ah.heheh. yang 2nd tu, tido berdiri takpe, tapi jgn berdiri kat tepi pintu.hahah. =)

Masa aku g KL, ramai orang kat sana cakap..tempat yg mereka paling suka ialah state aku, maksud aku Terengganu..kata mereka..

Terengganu tenang..aman..cantik..pemandangan tepi pantai yang menarik, orangnya mudah didekati..pendek kata dok kat Terengganu betul2 rasa releks ..huhu..itu mereka kata la, bukan aku…namun, itulah juga yg aku rasakan..

Try la keje kat Terengganu..korang akan paham…huhuhu…(kalu mari sini meh ah makang kepok ngan aku)
