Kuantan vs Penang vs Kota Kinabalu

Good morning ... woke up 5am, it is cold here, walking on the beach. I am thinking if I may want to retire here instead of going back to Sabah. Yes, I do still have a beach apartment(Melinsung) in Sabah which I bought for retirement purposes. It is currently vacant and has been vacant for 3 years now, collecting dust. Haha. I like Kuantan and this is my second trip here this year itself. Besides Kuantan, I do like Penang(born there, speaking my dialect, food, beach and modernised lifestyle).

I love nature very much ... I could be in peace at the beach, listening to waves. I do like river too ... and moutains, with waterfalls, of coz. My word WATERFALLS(instead of knives) being used as it came natural to me. Kota Kinabalu provides me all the above(and more). Now I discovered that Kuantan could provide me the similar environment too .... in smaller scale, that is.From Kuantan here, I could always drive up to Trengganu or down to Mersing/Desaru. So, Kuantan is a good alternative for retirement.

How about Penang? I will be driving up tmr to Penang and that will be my fourth trip to Penang in less than 2 years back to KL here. To my new readers, I was born in Penang-la .. so, I do speak Penang hokkien at home with mom/aunties. But, I was in KL since 4 years old(just like my son, born in Sabah but in KL when he was 4 last year!!). So, I do like Penang ... and the food, of coz. I am not a glutton, actually. So, I do not mind much about food. A simple chicken rice or char-kuey-tiaw will be very nice.  Penang is flat ... no moutains ... no river for me to explore.

Back to my trading plan ... can I find students to teach trading/investment in Kuantan? Or in Kota Kinabalu? I am not sure if there is a market here, I mean ... the number of traders in 'small' places should be lesser and their appetite for KNOWLEDGE is much lesser. The relax tak-apa-attitude in Sabah making me move to KL, to continue my learning and goal of teaching. KL is the happening place where people shown urgency to learn, to improve and upgrade themselves. Perhaps we could see that in big city like Penang, JB or Ipoh too. But ...Kuantan? Hmm ...

I might retire from my current teaching Math job by 55-58 yrs old. But, I wish to continue to teach and prefer to teach trading/investing. By then, I will have been in market for 15 years. I should be much more expereince and I dont know if this blog is still available. Haha ... I dont even know if I am still 'around'? We could only plan at the moment.
If I could afford, I might get a small apartment here in Kuantan, flying back to KK once a while ... and in the mean while stay put in KL(my bro/sis still here). Once a while too, I could drive up to Ipoh/Penang to teach some newbies about trading!! That will be ideal ...

JB? I never consider JB ... hmm ... I dont like Singapore. I dont like the kiasu and kiasi mentality of Singaporeans. Not all are such but many are. I was reading about property bubble in Spore and the spill-over to JB. Besides, the cost of living in JB is much higher!! I wont mind driving down to JB to have a 'public-talk' and meet some of my readers then. Not staying in JB, please.

What do I need now is to re-plan my retirement plan of staying in KK ... isolating myself at a small place in Papar(small town in Sabah).

Few more things in mind ... a library, a bowling alley, a stadium. I like those in Sabah ... I could go to Donggongon(small town) or Papar's library, sit there for hours. I do have bowling alleys in KK to play my game and yes, a stadium to watch games like football, badminton and such -'live'. Of coz we have all these in KL and most update and in bigger scale. To me, big doesnt mean good or the best to suit a simple me?

Well, it is those days that I am not thinking of markets or stocks. Haha .... relaxing to think of what's next?

I shall be in Penang tmr, so anyone want to lim-teh ... we can make arrangement to meet, ok? We could talk about stocks and experience in tradings but not questioning me about your stocks, please. Haha.

It is almost 7am ... time to go back to hotel as kids/wife should be up soon.
