Is big always better than small?
Last Friday, only around 30 people were invited for Dr.BY’s dissertation party. It was the smallest I have ever attended since I arrived. Yet it turned out to be the best of all. Everyone had a real blast. The blast had torn the restaurant apart. There were even touching moments during BY’s supervisor’s speech. Although the speech was short, those few lines really described well the tough time BY been through to get her degree. And many of us even might not be able to understand her pain when her happy marriage was at risk due to her husband’s inconsideration. MB sitting next to me shed some tear whilst I found my eyes filling with tears.
Another awe-inspiring thing is that from the party we could easily find out that BY is excellent in human relationship; not only friends from her own country but other ethnic groups as well. Yeah, it was certainly a merry celebration by the people from the West and the East integrating harmoniously.
I enjoy small intimate party like this. We really need not spend so much for a grand celebration. An intimate one with family, friends and loved ones to share our joy brings more merriment to everyone. Moreover joy and happiness are priceless that money can’t buy.
