Why is this site called mylongkang.com?

I have noticed many mamak stalls and kopi tiams mushroom by the longkang. The waters of the longkang aren’t too clean either. But that doesnt stop people from frequenting such places. It is at places like these that the conversation is most alive.

roti canai

The people , the real people…..the people who are out there…whether they walk there, come on a motorcycle, Perodua Kancil or a Mercedez….go to such places to relax, unwind, borak-borak and see who’s there.

In the same way, I hope my blog will be a place where people will stop by on their cyber journey to other websites…see what is there and tell us what is going on in their lives.

In other words, the typical kopi-tiam :)
I will be there in my white singlet and short pants to take your order. Anybody wants roti canai, kaya with roti?

My regular kopi tiam customer ( guest blogger ) is fly-fisher
