The thing about having a 07 IC

Yes, 07. Not 007, the special agent.

I was born in Penang. So my IC has a 07 on it, for the state of Penang.

When I was in school in Kuantan, almost everyone else had a 06 (for Pahang) on their ICs. And each time someone new saw my IC number, they would ask, "Eh, why 07?"

And now I'm in Penang...where 07 is the norm. But then...I'm not a local. So the question now is "Eh, 07?" ("I thought you weren't from Penang?")

And today at the bank...it became even more complicated. "They" have an account in Kuantan. I'm opening another, in Penang, jointly with my father. So the person there asked some stuff...I can't remember what exactly. I told her I was staying in Penang. Then what about "them"? They're staying in Kuantan. I told her, I was staying in Kuantan too, before this. So far, so good...Kuantan people can come to Penang to work, right? Then she says, but your IC is Penang. (or more like "your ICs are", because my father's is too). There I went "Er..." (It's complicated^TM, I wish I could have said). So I said, my father went to Kuantan to work. I guess it is quite simple after all...just that people don't usually do Penang-Kuantan then Kuantan-Penang. (Everyone goes to KL. :P )

What a complicated life I lead. So am I from Kuantan or from Penang?
