Happy Thanksgiving '11

Today is thanksgiving day which is not a legal holiday in Malaysia but for most of the country,this is one of the biggest celebration for a year. Like my counterpart, they probably were sitting round their tables having wine and gulping turkey now. And for my friends who were on business trip to US they probably squeezing themselves in the mall or outlet for the crazy crazy sales! remember my shopping list ya!

anyway,a little history of thanksgiving for those who doesnt know about it,but apparently my knowlegde is too scarce to share too much too. So here is the brief one, thanksgiving day is a celebration for rejoicing their thankful heart to God for the good harvest throughout the whole year, it always fall before the end of the year and exactly a month before the Christmas day. People takes a day off to give themself a good treat after working hard for the whole year and reward themselves for a day of feast and rest with the family.

This is a tradition that we dont get to have in Asia country, we have labour day every year. But our way of celebrating the labor day is different, for asia, given another holiday is like giving ourself another day to shop. But we dont really sit down on the table reminiscing with the rest of family of what we have done for a year, or thank God for another good year without any disaster or thankful for the best health of everyone.

Yesterday, he drove me back from Intel and suddenly he turned to me and said " thank you for being there for me for another day". We dont feel thankful everyday, we took thing for granted. But i can see that he practice his thankful heart better than me.

Thank you for loving the incomplete side of me.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone:)

Turkey, anyone?
