Bad Day
i'm only been back here in miri for 4 days and i had already hurt my leg and some other things that makes me go crazy. this morning, thanks to my dad who bought us whole family ticket to Borneo Rainforest Resort for a half day trip with a group of people, who we are some how all related together. (tai pu tong xiang hui) its a chinese "sub-race's" society. but mostly contain old people.
no one told me that we are going to this trip until saturday afternoon. i had already made plans with my ex-school friends to hang out. since they are busy with their studies. so i guess they can only come out on the weekends. one more thing, i skipped this morning service just to join this stupid trip. i'm only staying in miri for a week. and i'm leaving next friday. that means i had only 1 sunday here. and i had to missed out the chance to meet my long-time-no see church members. thanks to my dad again.
so there you have it. since my dad already bought the tickets and his intention was somehow wanting a family day out. so i decide not to let him down and turn down my plan with my friends. and this morning even before i got to get on to the bus to go to the resort. when i was walking, i dint saw a small deep drain in front of me, and i had my whole left leg steeping in to it causing me to fall down. i scratch my left foot and sprain my right foot. but at that point i though both pain in my legs are scratches. but it turns out i'm wrong. i had to keep on assuring the elders who were very very very caring. and you know how old people will react. they kept on asking you to put this on, try this on. and kept on asking you
"are you ok?"if i say
no. they will continue to nag and i don't know what else will they do.
but
if i say
yes. they will still nag, but at least not to the point to ask you do this do that.
so even though i'm not ok, i still have to say ok. you get what i mean?! its just the irritation that i cant stand. and one more thing. you know how small the comity was. once i fell down. the news somehow spread through out the whole team. when someone saw me joining the 1st group (specially design for old folks who don't have the strength to walk.) they will ask why. and when i told them i hurt my leg, they will say:
"oh...... so your the one who they said had fell down just now."and i'll be like:
"yeah.... thats the clumsy me. thank you for your concern."you know how embrace that is?! stupid, i'll say. i was trying to look at the good side of the 1st trip. although i could not go and walk around the rainforest. i still can sit down and just admire the beautiful view. they have this car tour and boat tour for the 1st group and wrap up the trip with fishing. the 1st group actually consist of 40 people. but it end up left 4 people staying back for the fishing. me, a pair of old couple and another uncle.
4 of us fished for about half an hour. we end up with only 1 fish. which is not by me. i never fished before and this is my 1st time fishing. i dint end up catching any fish but i manage to feed the fish. because the thing i put on to the hook always end up eaten by the fish and no fish is caught. so much for a 1st timer. (i'm not complaining about this though) i kinda like that part you know. just sit there and wait. in silence we were. but it was nice. in my opinion. haha....
after fishing, it was lunch time. lunch wasn't nice though. and it started to rain heavily. since i hurt my leg and i cant join the original plan of outdoor activity in the afternoon. i deiced to go back early with the early group. it turns out everyone have no intention to stay behind for the activities. what a waste. people who don't know how to enjoy nature. or maybe partly it was because of the rain too. but i can assure you a lot of them said that there's nothing to see around.
hey, come on!!!! what do you expect to see in the jungle?! bears?! gorillas?! tigers?! use you brain people. its a place for you to relax and enjoy. but they just dont know what and how to appreciate the nature. i got the same reaction from my dad too, saying its boring. hmm.......
so we went back. went back home. slept. and the next thing i know is mum shaking me awake. because they want to take me to get some Chinese traditional massage for my leg. oh ya, by the way, i never let anyone touch my leg. because the elders and my mum was asking me to massage it with this and that the whole day. hey come on, you are not a master of this. if i let you massage its only going to get worse. like what that "shi fu" said just now. people who don't know how the "way" goes in the body, and just massage, will only make it worst and had to do the "wrong treatment" a few more time. then only it will recover.
this "shi fu" is a master of this art. he just press and pull and going around my leg for awhile. then the next thing is my big bulge on my feet is gone almost instantly. just that the pain is still there. he told me that if its ok tomorrow. i don't need to come any more. but if its still not alright, just come for another treatment. by the way the whole treatment dint even cost me 10 minutes. and i'm feeling better. his great! but i think i'll be back tomorrow. because the pain is still there. maybe even more painful then before the treatment. but this is a normal thing right?! i hurt my leg and his just makes things right. haha....
one last thing. there's this christian book exhibition going on at the miri indoor stadium. i went there on the 1st day already. and i had a book in my mind that i want to buy. but thanks to my very intelligent dad, who told me there will be more less on the last day. (but he bought i think 2 books for himself on the 1st day. how weird?!) and it's today. so i decided to buy it today. he told me that he would go and help me buy in the evening. but it turns out he forgot.
just now at 9.30pm. my mum was showing me the books dad bought on the 1st day. then i asked her. where is my book?! she went blank for awhile and said haven't bought yet. since the exhibition will only close at 10pm. so we rushed over there to get my book. when we were there. they were starting to do packing. the stall that had the book i wanted had almost pack all their books into boxes. but i still ask for the book i wanted. he told me that it was sold out.
and there you have it.
sold out!
lucky me right?! we end up strolling around for awhile and mum end up buying 2 small umbrellas. (are we lacking of umbrellas or was it because it was cheap?! i wonder...) we went home after that. i was kinda pissed off. and somehow got into an idiot quarrel over which road to take going back home with mum. sound stupid right?! i felt that too. i felt sorry yelling at her. (i kinda raise my tone and say stuff out loud) after that we went back in silence.
thats about it..... so do my day sound fun to you?!
p/s: its so inconvenience to walk around..... =(
p/s/s: i know this is a long post. just letting my emotion go. bare with me would you?!
