loads of question marks after a typical chinese dinner..

its been some time since i went to a typical chinese dinner.. but this time round.. it has left me feeling pretty weird and curious about the perception of these village ppl..


so since i was invited by the ketua kampung.. so i went.. wondered awhile of what to wear.. but coincidentally all my formal cloths were at rawang.. so i went in a black t-shirt and jeans.. lol....


when i got there, i felt so under-dressed and although many were not in super good quality cloths but at least they had collars.. there were loads of ppl.. CHINESE ppl.. mostly cina ah peks and aunties.. so i met up with Dato' Leong (the ketua kampung) and got introduced to some other ketua kampung and some MCA ppl..


when i was about to sit at a random table, Dato' Leong dragged me to his table.. the VIP table.. i was like "shocked".. under-dressed, kid like and sitting with ppl who's probably 3-4 times my age.. lol.. ppl from the back was taking peeps to see who's this "fellow" who's sitting with all the VIP..


the program was super lengthy and without much entertainment.. basically the agenda was just allowing ppl from my table to go on stage and give speeches. of course.. EXPECT ME..


then for the opening ceremony, i've never seen so many ppl doing an opening ceremony in my whole entire life.. i think it was about 20-25 ppl up on stage to do a 2 sec opening ceremony.. lol... this sums up to a little observation i've been doing with rural area places ppl..

1. they like to be involve in activities which allows them to hold positions
2. they often give excessive attention and recognition to ppl with position although not relevant
3. they tend to grab as many position as possible
4. they take A LOT of pride in their positions
5. the higher their position, the louder they talk and criticize ppl
6. politicians more than often give empty promises (even if they've lost the election)


after that, there was a karaoke session where a mixture of good singers and self proclaimed good singers (horrible) came on stage to perform their songs.. before they had enough, the emcee cut them off for a lucky draw.. 400+ ppl and about 60-70 prizes. to my surprise, once the last draw's number was called, almost everyone stood up and started walking out.. NO good night or thank you speech... my goodness...


so, i also ciao la.. said good bye, thank you, shook some hands then balik rumah to sleep..!!!



tomorrow's last day of work.. gonna leave early back home if possible to do some cny cloths shopping + cut my messy hair.. the best part... HOLIDAY FOR COUPLE OF DAYS..!!! :)


remember to drink more H20 k.. c",)
