Please welcome...Christine!

bentongite.blogspot.com has a new team member!

Everybody please welcome Ms. Christine Liew aka Chian Min, a lovely girl now working in the city but true to heart Bentongite nonetheless.

Christine was my classmate during kindergarten...I know this although I only have a vague recollection of how my kindergarten days were. She went on to study in the US for a period of time then came back to her hometown to continue her secondary education. A very fun girl and a cool babe as well.

I know I haven't been updating this much, blame it on the nagging thesis writing I have on my hands currently. But if you guys want to see some lovely pics ala Tourism Malaysia style, you can visit Christine's blog here. She's got some wonderful shots of our hometown so check it out!

Will be back in good old Bentong once I settle all my stuff here. Sell off the furniture, pack up the stuff I've accumulated for 5 years here, settle all the bills etc etc. There's a lot to do but I'm really looking forward to going back home again, though it'll only be a month until I start work in KL.

Til then, have fun people!

First post

Hi people! I dunno if you're from the same hometown as me, or you just happened to chance by this blog. Anyway, this blog's a tribute to me hometown, BENTONG, located right smack in the middle of peninsular Malaysia. Kampung Kid is literally translated as "village kid" since the place where I come from is considered a town...though it is moving on quite rapidly nowadays.

Though I wasn't born here, I was raised and spent 18 wonderful years living in this peaceful little sanctuary called Bentong. I've come to realize that, though being a resident here, I don't really know my own hometown. A probable reason is I don't go out too much, so if you want me to introduce the best chicken rice here, I'd probaby have to think for some time before answering.

Initially I was hoping to register the name bentong.blogspot.com but it was already taken by someone named Ben Tong (!), so I chose bentongite.blogspot.com instead.

So, through this blog, I'm hoping to discover more of my hometown, and put down my jottings here. Please let me know if you yourself are a fellow Bentongite and would like to contribute to this blog.

Til then, cheers!
