Tale of two batangs

My friend, A, never knew that there was a place called Batang Berjuntai throughout her 20+years existence. Having lived and studied in the East Coast throughout her younger days, it was only on the day she followed her aunt to Kedah that she found the signboard.

On the other hand, I, never knew that there's a village called Batang Bergedik throughout my 20+years of happy-sad-happy-happy life. Having read newspapers only when I have the time, it was only today when I read the New Straits Time ("'Acid man' finds true love again' pg 15 col 1) that I found out tat in Tanah Merah there is such a place.

batang bergedik? hehehe...still remember my hubby told me about his assignment at batang berjuntai. he said, some locals actually proposed to have the name changed...maybe tak tahan pressure kena gelak kot? haha. but then again, it's just a name, depends la pada sapa nak interpret lain plak kan? ;-)

p/s: btw, bos my hubby did come up with a story of how the batang berjuntai got its name. very funny, indeed. hehehehe...
