我的感恩节

Had HW101C's tut today. We tried to continue on a 1st para tat was given to us. I tot mine was nt badly-written, so I decide to share it here hehe:
[Hands, did you ever notice how many different kinds of men's hands there are? I first began to notice hands when I found that all men's hands were not as large as my Dad's hands. They were large, strong, and forceful, yet always gentle like the man. His hand encompasses mine even now when he takes it gently yet firmly, as though providing it with a cover of protection against the outside world. But he has always been like that, strong and protective, yet gentle.
I remembered the first time when I felt his hands. A toddler I was, learning to walk for the first time. My feet were not listening, and they were wobbly. Two huge palms grasped hold of my arms firmly, guiding me forward in a slow and cautious manner. Soon, the big hands playfully lifted me on and off the ground, as if teaching me a dance. Thanks to my Dad, I now know how to run.]
Anyway, HC101's tut was very chim. XY joined us for the tut, but then we told her lecturer said things taught today weren't included in exams... so sian haha. The gals have already given me presents, but she was sweet enough to get me some biscuits today!
The biscuits are inside this cute carrier. *Both SS and WZ are "aiming" for this nw~* WZ said there's a "cottage" feel to this lol. I tot XY made those biscuits herself, but it seems she gt it somewhr near her home haha. Oh and the biscuits are nice, thks!
This lovely coinbank filled with pieces and pieces of heart, and paper cranes were folded and given by my cousins, MJ and JH! *When I 1st saw the words "You Are My Bank", I was like... er are they asking me for $$? Lol... joking.* First time receiving a bday present from them... big surprise for me hehe.MJ, she's like a rather avid reader of my blog I suppose? Cos she even notices the amt of projects/assignments I've seemed to be nv ending lol. Took photo of their msges and I posted it here... hope they dun mind haha.
I guess it's wat u call "affinity". We meet like once in a yr during CNY, but the 2 always play ard me when I go to grandma's house haha. I rmb-ed MJ used to come over to my house when I haven't moved house yet... and mum would always say how sad she is when she can't find me. Hmm, I was most probably at ZX's house haha.
And JH? She's certainly a naughty kid~ who looks like the female version of Jay Chou since I 1st saw her... and I think so even until nw haha.
Shall meet up with them someday in dec. Thks gals!
Well, looking at the title of the post, u guys muz be thinking wat movie did Snowman watched again right!? Haha... no. *If it's a movie, then it will be about me lol.*
Named this post "我的感恩节". I dun really noe wat "Thanksgiving Day" is about or wat ppl do on the occasion itself,但按“感恩”字面上来解释的话, it basically means "to be thankful about/for".
人的一生中有很多机会去感恩。
Instead of spending the day in a mood of laughters, fun and noises, I'd very much want it in peace and serenity. *I already am having outings with my friends b4 and after 21st Oct!* So, I say 21st Oct 2009 is a day I say my thanks, embrace and appreciate them.
My family... we're the typical“平淡过节”de family, so I haven't had the luxury of having parties all along. I guess tats why I'm so used to it, and my "personal space" is even expanding nw haha. There are times whereby I envy friends ard me, 所以会钻牛角尖, b4 I slowly grow to realise and understand wat I am gg thru. I still钻牛角尖 nw and then, but tat's juz me being immature on the outside. 还是不得不感谢，是家人教会我很多东西，所以才会有这样的我。
Friends... if I say tat I find peace at home, then my moments of fun are when I'm with friends. There are ppl that are always there, and I honestly cherish them. *名字就不提了，不然很像很肤浅haha.* 我是自私的，但对于我的好朋友们，我自然会尽量对他们更好。我不奢望一般朋友记得我，但我会告诉自己要记得他们haha. Those bday msg, be it via phone or FB, they touch one's heart bit by bit. Tat's why I insist in sending friends' bday msges too... cos I reckon they make a person's day.
Oh lastly and of cos to whoever helped me in one way or another, I wouldn't be who I am if nt for wat I've seen/heard/gone thru. As well as生命中的绊脚石s, I can't stop them from trying to make me trip, but then again, ppl learn after a fall or being close to a fall isn't it?
It really feels like my thanksgiving day today. 今天，不管是看到的、闻到的、听到的、吃到的、遇到的，都是美丽的、香的、 开心的、美味的、幸运的。。。 美好的。很希望能一直以这种心态接待每一个人、事、物。
21st bday kinda feels like it's a "huge sth". I din tot so, but I suppose seeing how friends ard (mostly in their 21st this yr) celebrate their bdays with great parties, I reckon“21”这个数目字 除了有“adulthood”的意义之外，对我而言，更是21年来第21次过我21日的21岁生日了haha!
*Adult? I might appear so, but deep down I'm still a kidult haha.*
Dun worry,我的感恩节不会只停在21岁这一年，接下来每一年的生日我都会继 续感谢生命中的每一刻美好。
