I've reconfirmed that having a thickskin wins you more friends than the ones you lose.

Malaysians further up north can't really tell if we're Singaporeans. They're much more friendlier too. Not that JB has unfriendly pple, but the hospitality provided by those above KL is simply amazing.

Chatty uncles and aunties. A free ride from a Malay family. This is the interesting one. We were stuck in Giant Pasar Raya because of the heavy rain, and it was a long way from our hotel. I asked this lady for directions to the busstop (which isn't like the ones in Singapore). So we were chatting awhile and her husband drove in to pick her up. We went inside to wait for the rain to subside when I felt a tap on my shoulder. She was back and asked if we wanted a lift. Kaiming(being the nice guy he is) was feeling a little paiseh, knowing which I promptly said "oh!" in the accepting way.

So there we were talking cock in the car with her saying how paiseh it was to not know the attractions in ipoh cuz it's a boring place. What a great family. This will never happen in Singapore for sure. hahaha. Thank you Liana and Ah Bang.
