A Thanksgiving

We were having a Chinese kind of Thanksgiving. Yesterday we were having a feast which was still my favourite Korean BBQ style and received quite a number of red pockets. of course i do love money but it just doesn't feel right. i didn't do anything that worth it. they are too kind and generous to do so. now, i feel like going for shopping tomorrow. Today, Grandma made yellow glutinous rice with coconut filling and chicken curry to make an offering to the God/Goddess/Buddha, Bhikku and ancestors. again, i was overwhelmed by listening to Grandma's prayer. my heart sank and i swallowed the uncomfortable lump. i knew that Grandma would not be able to send me next week due to Aunt incoming unpredictable labour. i can't wait for the baby because she is going to be Tim Meng's sister which undoubtably wll be as smart and cute and he is. she even has a name, already.

And everyone, especially Pup, Mummy and i were beyond exhausted today. After coming back from Grandma, we had to visit the temple and deliver the glutinous rice to my paternal Uncle and Aunt. Pup was feeling unwell since morning and Mummy was tired from yesterday's chores. i was jaded with things too. i helped with the food and massaging Grandma and Aunt. they said that i am pretty good at it. oh and yesterday, i was being to witness with my very own eyes of how muscle twitching looks like. it was of my Grandma's calf. i think she might be deficient of iodine and calcium. after we were back from visiting Aunt and Uncle, i fall into a deep slumber. i had a 4 hours nap in the late afternoon and feel pretty energetic after that, which is now, not forget to mention after chugging a cup of ice milk coffee.

it was really a disheartening sight to watch my Father sick. it is going to be a painful experience because everything isn't right. some more, my Father has been so strong and sturdy all this while and being ill means that he is severely vulnerable. all the blame is on the stout yesterday. i am sure that he would not ever tempt to even wet his mouth with a tiny drop of stout next time which has wrecked up his immune system in just one night. i pray that he gets well real soon.
