The thing about living in a place with more people is that – there are lots more sickness and more health threats as compare to small town living where health culprits like stress is limited to a small group of individuals in certain jobs and income level.
Like us in my adopted district of Belait, stress from traffic is non-existent. In my home town of Kota Kinabalu, just thinking of going out for the nearby shops which is less than 5 km away is already stressing me with the thoughts of the jam and parking.

That in our food courts, non-Muslims and Muslims patrons can sit together on one table. We are able to order our kind of food from the variety of stalls and eat together. That it is not an issue to have pork dishes even though you have Muslim friends sitting across you.
When I was in upper primary school, we used to have a neighbour friend who has one of this cool gadget. Despite his sometimes annoying attitude, we remained civil to him because of this – which he’d sometimes lent to us when he was in the right mood.
