Uh. I am sooooooooo tired everyday after work.
Having to rush here and there to collect data on the task that I am working on, plus ABF itself is not a small playground. Boots are heavy. :( My legs are ugly and they hurt real bad. Weather has been throwing tantrums lately. One minute it's raining heavily and the next, the sun's up.
I have so many blog posts pending, i.e post on the Christmas Parade in Bintulu (yeah my very first time) and also the post on my very first time (again!) carolling in a real, authentic, genuine longhouse. Haha. I guess I won't go into details, I shall just roughly tell you what I experienced.
The longhouse is effing long, hell yeah, and it houses prolly 15-20 families. And oh, the longhouse was somewhere right in the middle of Bintulu-Miri. Most of the time they dine together, as in everyone comes out from their houses and sit at the verandah, chit chatting away, eating to their heart's content. :) Most of the houses do not have fans (or maybe they just didn't switch it on), so Amy and I were practically sweating like mad. We had fun laughing at each other, had fun exploring the longhouses overselves, had fun laughing at the jokes Jeremy made about their names, had fun watching livestock running here and there.
The Christmas Parade drew plus minus 5,000 people! Imagine the crowd and all. At the very front we have this police patrol car clearing the road for God's people. Haha how awesome! Then a guy carrying the cross up high, followed by a school band, girls brigade, boys brigade and then the churches. I was with Sebastian that night, had fun laughing at a guy from his church, had fun waving to the crowd like supermodels, had fun singings carols, had fun wishing the bystanders "Merry Christmas". :)
All in all, the weekend was a wondrous one. Thank God for all the opportunities. Great timing. Though I may not get to see snow like my other blessed friends do, but over here I can strongly feel the love of Christ, and the love of one another. :)
Miri this weekend yo! Please, God?
xoxo.
