charity dinner gala

Today, I attended a charity dinner. The dinner was organized by a club which the members are either Japanese or half Japanese. The fund is raised for helping the patients who has heart illness.

I went late and the dinner has already started by the time I arrived. But, I didn't miss the chance to watch some traditional Japanese performances and old folks play which played by the kids. I remember myself used to play all these when I was a little child. Suddenly, I felt warmth by the performance. Perhaps, the play made me homesick? Or reminds me of good old days with my dad in Japan. Because, he has passed away several years ago.

I still miss him. Although, it has been sometimes already, but sometimes I still cry for him. He was a very devoted father. Japanese school has lots of activities. Like parents day, which means the parents will come to school and watch how their kid behave at class. And he was always there with my mum. He was a real busy man who worked at the hotel as a VP, but he made himself a time off just to see me. Anytime like sports day or graduation day or whatever happening he was there for me. But now that he is gone forever, i really hard to accept the reality. I regret not having done enough role as a good daughter. So.. really, precious every moments in this life with your loved ones. Because, you never know what happens next. Forgive and forget. Whatever happened is already happened and you can't change the fact anymore, so what we can do is to make things not too complicated and turn the things better at the end.
I am saying this because, there was some misunderstanding between my dad and myself when I was going through adolescent.. at the end I realized that I was wrong and I talk to him again like old days but..shortly after he passed away suddenly.

Talking about the dinner I managed to make some friends too. One is Chinese married to Japanese and the rest are half Chinese and Japanese. Well...looking forward to meet them again..can chat about Japan in Japanese..I got to chat or else I might forget ha! Since I speak English nowadays for most of the time! ummm... tired now.. sleepy... night night.
