Gomo Kelate Gomo!

Due to inspiration from http://livelifejoy.blogspot.com , I would love to talk about my hometown. Now,where do I come from? Kota bharu! Ever heard anything about it? Ya, I was so shocked when I heard from my friends saying that my hometown is a town full of terrorists. Come on, it's only a town full of malays,and it's not necessary all muslims are terrorists. It's a peaceful and a place filled with tranquility. Yet,you might need to adapt yourself for a new view.



As soon you walk into a shopping mall,you'll realise that 80% of the shoppers are wearing tudung. There are certain levels for tudung. The highest level will be a black tudung covering her whole body,which is common for us to call them Ninja. No offence but I feel totally comfortable seeing people wearing tudung all around me.

Anyway,it will make the girls who not wearing tudung prettier. I think that is why they said Kelantan girls are pretty. HAHAHAHA. A joke okay ladies from Kelantan. Following by that, based on strong evidence and reliable statistic,many says that Kelantan has the most handsome guys all around Malaysia. I'm certainly hope thas it's not just a myth.



And NO,we did not use sampan go to school and we do not live on tree. There are so many statements,arguments I wanna clear. Yes,we do have internet, No,we do not use leaves to cover our kukuciao. Yes,we are listening to the latest hits thanks to sogou and many other free downloading websites. And NO,the people here are not racist at all. Some might be naughty kacau-ing the girls,but the crime rate in Kelantan is one of the lowest in Malaysia. I have no problem at all with the malays here. Me,as a chinese boy,can walk peacefully,on street without people calling me chinok babi/tauke babi. But I'd heard some when I'm traveling in other states.



And YES,we can eat pork freely here! You can see a chinese restaurant is just next to a malay stall,and there is no controversy between them for the past 50 years. We do have sort of Chinatown named Jalan Kebun Sultan. You can get non-halal foods or dirnks here.



I am proud to say most of the chinese from here can speak a fluent Kelantan style Bahasa Melayu,which is called Bahaso Kelate. And there's definitely no problem for us to speak bahasa baku. A Kelantanese can easily be identified based on his slang. In my personal experience, I'd met a lot of Kelantanese in KL. And usually,when people know that you're from Kelantan,they will be so astonished and starting a conversation by asking ," oih,demo boleh kecek dok?" And I even met a taxi driver who gave me discount just because I'm from Kelantan. Not to mention in restaurant and burger stalls,foods were sold cheaper to me. HAHAHA.






Even it is ruled by oppostion,I don't feel the other races were neglected. Yes the main religion in my state is muslim,but other religions can be practiced without any disturbances. You can see so many temples,churches built along streets.

So,isn't Kelantan is the best example for 1Malaysia? Come here and experience youeself. We do have classy airport here,so fly here by using airasia and you can even stay in Tunehotel! Which is just next to biggest mall in Kota Bharu,KB mall.



And last,let me present you,our greatest slogan of all times.....

GOMO KELATE GOMO!!!!!
