最熟悉的陌生国度

啊~在寒冷的天气里冲一个热水澡,感觉真好,好得我都不想离开冲凉房,不想离开热水。但是,事实是我必须离开,我必须回到外面,继续完成我未完成的事情。这感觉真正反映了我现在的心情。从寒冷的墨尔本回到了温暖炎热的马来西亚;经过了三年半的离乡背井,远距离的爱情考验,以及不属于自己的风俗习惯,终于回到了自己的家,自己熟悉及所爱的人身边。那感觉真好,好得我不想再离开了。但是,我必须再一次离开我温暖的窝,来到这个寒冷的国度,来完成我必须完成的事情。虽然时间只有短短的三个星期,心里还是很难过。

对了,我又回到了墨尔本。第一天回到来,想说买麦当劳来吃,却遇到了对外国人不友善的店员,搞得我浑身不自在。

走在大学里,有种即熟悉又陌生的交集感。原本很熟悉的地方,如今已不再让我感到温暖,反而很陌生,让我觉得我不再属于这里。

这里明明是我过去三年半所住的地方,我了解这个地方,我了解这里的人。但现在,竟感觉如此陌生,还比一般的游客害怕,不知所措。真不知我过去三年半是怎么在这里生活的。为什么会有这样的感觉?究竟是哪里出了差错?我这么快就完全脱离了这个国度吗?好想回家。

不舍

I miss miss miss miss miss you!!!! =(((

想念到连收拾行李都力不从心,有气无力。想到这两个星期我们之间会隔着一个大海洋,就觉得难受。奇怪了,以前是这样的吗?为什么这次离别好像特别难过?虽然只有短短的几个礼拜,却还是很难过,很不舍。

之前说了不用你来送机,因为你从槟城回来大概会很累,更何况我们过一下子就会见面了。但是现在,我想反悔了可以吗?想再见你一面。。。

Ben & Ivy's wedding

She was the happiest bride I've ever seen. =)

Today I attended Ben & Ivy's wedding. A couple from John's church. It was the sweetest wedding I've attended, with the best atmosphere and the happiest and brightest bride, as well as the blur-est bridegroom. XD

When she stepped into the sanctuary, walking down the aisle, happiness and excitement was just beaming from her face and smile, it could not be contained. When everyone is focusing on the beautiful and elegant bride walking down the aisle, I like to look back at the groom. Today I saw the excitement in his eyes, the love and happiness that could not be masked. It was a beautiful day.

Throughout the ceremony, Ivy teared over and over again. When we were worshiping God, when her friends gave testimonies about her and her relationship with Ben, when she received wishes from her beloved ones...... I wonder what was going through her mind, her heart. The emotions must have been so overwhelming (in a lovely way).

As they were saying their vows, many mistakes were made especially by the groom. Hahaha... guess he was that nervous. Or, maybe he was drown in her eyes and wasn't paying full attention to what was being said. =p But it was funny, we were entertained. Hahaha... And at the end of his vow, Ivy gave a big encouragement by initiating a round of applause for him! =D What a good spirit! Hehe! And then, the ceremony ended with the couple dance-walking out the sanctuary accompanied by a cute song! *Awwhhh~ love that!* =D

**I like weddings filled with happiness, love, romance, laughter, warmth and tears of joy.**

The wedding dinner was great too! The ambience was great. A ballroom decorated with purple flowers and pink candles. The lights were warm and the people were happy. When the time came, the couple stepped into the ballroom and walked down the aisle singing a song together! How sweet! There were also a few presentations and a funny yet sweet game! Haha and of course, not forgetting the toasts! *think I need to get some ear plugs when John throw toasts beside me.. =p* There was no karaoke, I guess no one got drunk either, it wasn't too traditional (chinese) but maintained the important elements of our tradition. It was warm and sweet, filled with laughter and joy. The bride and groom were so natural and did not hold back their joy throughout the day. They were themselves. It was the best wedding dinner I've been to so far.

I heard that they have gone through much in their relationship and have come to marriage's door. They've chosen to step into it together with courage and faith. Although I do not know them well, I see a sweet couple strong in their faith with God and each other blooming. I wish them all the best and to grow more and more in love with each other through the years to come. =)
