After thoughts - Moving to Miri from Kuching
I lived in Kuching for 10 years before moving to Miri in 1999. I was 13 then. At first, I really discriminated Miri by all sense, the people, the school, the places here.. almost everything. I complained about each and everything that has to do with Miri. Maybe it's because Miri is smaller compared to Kuching, the capital of the state.
In school, I couldn't mix well as I'm still missing my friends back in Kuching badly. I kept on wishing that I could go back to Kuching and study in the same school with my friends.
After some time, I realized Miri is not such a bad place after all. It can be smaller, but it's definitely more 'cozy' than the hectic Kuching. In fact, I've met many good buddies here. I have new cliques here and I'm very happy with it. In school, I've built a so-called 'reputation' and it's a good and positive one. After all, this is not such a bad place. Of course, it's hard to suit in a new place after spending so many years in your old place, but life still has to move on. Now, I'm proud to say, I like this place. if there's a choice between owning a house in Miri or Kuching, I think I'll probably choose Miri. A petite yet with a bright future Miri, towards the status as a resort city in 2005
