Miri

Had been going to Miri for the past two days. 21st and 22nd November, tantamount-ly, the past Saturday and Sunday. Well, I went for a relative's wedding dinner which was hold on Saturday's evening. We went by car. And yea, the journey is tiring, I mean the approximately-5-hours on car. I could be sleeping actually, but then the condition of the roads is really GOOD, literally the opposition of it, that I could really hardly fall into sleep. The condition is too bad, seriously.

I would like to talk a bit on the wedding dinner here, particularly; for the dinner was kind of different from the other ordinary wedding dinners. It was almost the same as others, the ordinary feasting stuff, but, there was some points which had really made it so different and so meaningful. Same same but different! Hah! The dinner had conveyed two imperative elements, the matter of relationships between family, and of the one between friends. It was a dinner of warmth. Indeed, the scene was kind of touching that quite a lot of people actually wept over it.

First, about the family, precisely, it was towards parents. The bride and groom had actually planned a session of like thanksgiving to both of their parents without their parents' knowing. The parents had been asked to close their eyes by the MC, and at this time, the bride and groom took out the flowers and gifts, and presented to the parents. And, they hugged them. The situation was just so warmth. After that, they started to give piece of speech to their parents. At this moment, people were moved, and tears were induced. I saw people weeping. And, me, of course was the one of them too. It touched, especially with the background song, 感恩的心. Seriously, just like what the bride said, it was parents' attribution that she could grow so well until today. Without parents, we are seriously nothing. Should really appreciate them! The meaningful song, its meaningful lyric. Take a read and understand its meaning, it really means a lot. Appreciate.

我来自偶然 像一颗尘土

有谁看出我的脆弱
我来自何方 我情归何处
谁在下一刻呼唤我

天地虽宽 这条路却难走
我看遍这人间坎坷辛苦
我还有多少爱 我还有多少泪
要苍天知道 我不认输

感恩的心 感谢有你
伴我一生 让我有勇气作我自己
感恩的心 感谢命运
花开花落 我一样会珍惜

Next, the other point is of friendship, friends. The friends of the bride and groom were presenting a song to this couples. The song, was kind of old, ordinary, but it was so meaningful. Not more than others, it was 朋友. It once again made me cry. Friends mean a lot to me. Indeed, they are the precious gifts, the valuable gifts, the priceless gifts. Nowadays, particularly, I really appreciate these beings around me. The days of studying where parents are not around, friends play the role. Also, the distant friends, I learn to appreciate you more, at the same time, miss you more. Yea, should have really appreciate the time when all of us can gather and have fun together. The lyric of the song, simple, but loads with its deep meaning.

这些年一个人
风也过雨也走
有过泪有过错
还记得坚持甚麽

真爱过才会懂
会寂寞会回首
终有梦终有你在心中

朋友一生一起走
那些日子不再有
一句话一辈子
一生情一杯酒
朋友不曾孤单过
一声朋友你会懂
还有伤还有痛
还要走还有我

Well, this short trip to Miri was fun. Had been met up with lots of relatives, who I had not been seeing for long. Life is just so hectic. Everyone has loads of own things to get up with. And so, the two days were just a simple met up, a simple gather. But then, it was still quite fun. I had actually gotten lots of thinking throughout the trip. It was on the way, by the roadside, we had seen lots of cows. Ha ha. And we were liked feeling so weird over the cows; or may be we felt surprised to see the cows, as we could really, so and so barely to see any cow. I had thought of is this the impact of development to us? This generation, really, lived up with all the high concrete buildings, with all the highly advanced technologies; we had rarely had chance to expose to nature. And that, we can, still, actually to recognize the cow. I guess, the generation in advance, will eventually appear to not know and recognize the cow even if it stands in front of them. Should that be good or bad? With the highly developed cultures and societies, but with the zero knowledge on any single thing which is related with nature? We should contemplate on it.

Aha, it seems a bit heavy talk. Anyway, along the trip, especially over the places like hotels, malls... the atmosphere of Christmas is thick. The Christmas decoration is all over the place already. Yea, Christmas is around the corner. But then, all of these decoration seem to be the way to attract customers, it seems to be the business tactic. In this place of view, it really seems Christmas has lost its original meaning and purpose. Behind all of these gorgeous decorations and celebrations, are we still remembered the original and the initial purpose and meaning of Christmas? This is a point to contemplate on too.

Ouh, it seems to bias onto heavy thingy again. Hmm. Well, should talk a bit on these two days in Miri. We had been staying in Imperial Hotel. That night, all of us slept late. The kids, I was still considered a kid, LOL. We played together, the Poker cards, the card games; while the adults were having their endless talks, they had so much things to talk on. Hah.

The next morning, we woke up early, by the way. First, we had breakfast. Then, had been shopping in Bintang Mall. It was quite a grand mall. Then, we had visited up some other relatives at their houses. Just stayed for a short while for each site as we were running out of time. After that, finally, around 4pm, we started our journey back to Sibu. No choice, it's Monday again, and everyone has to start the daily hectic paces again, and that's why we couldn't manage to stay any longer. Again, bear with the long car journey and the excellence road's condition all the way long. However, anyway, in short, it was a good trip!

It has been quite a long post. Hah. Thanks for bearing with me. Ha ha. Going to sleep. Catch up later.
