Bila aku ngerepak sekejap

Amidst busy preparing for the reunion that is only about 2 weeks away, me and some friends were taken aback by something that sort of spoiled or rather pulled almost everyone's spirit down. For obvious reasons, some people just don't change. Through the years, I would have thought that as you grow older, most of us would mellow. Seems that age has not gotten the best side of him to look at others with an open mind. Gik juak mentality lamak. We are here to meet up and catch up on the years that went by in each and everyone's lives. Biar lah si luncai dengan labu2 nya. "you can take the boy out of the village but not the village out of the boy" Sik ada HIJRAH minda ya....
At the same time I am very frustrated with some good old friends who declined the invitation.

Usu Ina converse mostly in the Mukah dialect and I observed that she would refer to Lai if she was not sure of the language itself. My dad and his siblings back in Balingian still converse in their own dialect but once they are out of their kampung, they would converse in the Mukah dialect again. Mmmmmmmmmmm....
