Marriage

I went to a wedding reception this evening.  I hardly go to wedding and this was the very first time in three years, I am sure.

At first, I decided not to go there, but the bridegroom called me before noon asking me to be a master of ceremony at the reception.  Usually I would say "NO".  But this time, I said "YES".  Because I want to make changes in my life too and I think this is part of something to change for.

I greeted everyone at the wedding, telling some jokes as I usually do and people laughed.  I love to hear the laugh and see the smile on the face of others for what I said.  At least, I made someone happy.  Maybe or maybe not.  No one knows.

And some elders gave speech.  Marriage is a compromise.  No one is right.  But everyone needs to have understanding.  Very good speeches.  I feel like I wanted to get married too.

There were plenty of foods.  And a clear spicy soup was my favourite.  A friend made some oak-cookies.  They were fantastic for being home-made.  While eating these cookies, I miss what my mum made.

Many are praying for the newly weded couple.  May they have love between them.  May they have lots of children.  May they be bountifully blessed.  May they live together for 120 years.  Many Many wishes.....

I was happy to be there.  I was making jokes.  I made people laugh.  Am I happy?  Yes, I was.

Will I also get married one day?  This is a question, I cannot look for an answer to date.

My first online date

Back in 2004, in Yangon, the first internet service was launched and was in operational.  mIRC chat programme was very popular at that time.  I could not remember well.  But I think, I was chatting at that time using the nickname Bertrand.  Perhaps, it was a name of my colleague but I did not know why I chose to use it as my nickname.  Well, I happened to meet with someone, I would call kid.  He is younger than me.  We made our first date at a restaurant, telling each other what were we going to wear and how we looked like.

I went there but in a different style; together with a friend of mine and dressed up my friend in a way I was supposed to wear for that date.  Kid came and left silently.

I never thought many things would happen afterwhich.

Beginning of memoirs

I came back from work and siwtched on my computer.  I was reading the blog of a friend of mine.  I am not that much into writing but then I realised something.

I need to share about myself.  Or keep an online diary about me.  I looked at my 2009 diary and suddenly smiled.  Well, I also need to keep update myself with technology.

So, this I begin writing about my notes.
