Happy Thanksgiving
Happy Thanksgiving everyone... Gue terkesan dengan party yang dibikin sama temen2 dari US dan Canada dalam rangka Thanksgiving, yang di rayain setiap hari Kamis terakhir di bulan November (di Amerika). Thanks to Dave, Brett, Jules, Senka, Leila, n Marissa. Partynya cuma dinner makan kalkun (diawali sama masak kalkun oleh temen2 yang udah pada duluan dateng), dan pot luck bawa side dishes sendiri2. Ada yang bawa cheese cake, ada yang bawa pumpkin pie (katanya ini desert khas Thanksgiving), ada salad, mashed potato, wedges, spring roll, doughnuts, grilled veggie, ice cream, couscous (bener gak ya tulisannya. ini semacam bulgur), everything. Gue, Tomomi dan Syafiq datang belakangan karena harus kerja kelompok dulu sambil bikin makanan juga. Kita semua cuma makan dan ngobrol2 aja selama party. Gak ada dance seperti party biasanya. Bahkan temen gue yang bawa keluarganya ke sini, David (Sr.), bawa istri dan dua anaknya yang lucu2, padahal biasanya gak mungkin buat dia bawa anak kalo party. It was so good... Suasana kali ini sangat homy dan warm. Hampir semua anak2 di kelas pada dateng, kecuali yang dari Copenhagen karena jauh...
I liked it. Buat gue yang udah uzur, kumpul2 kayak gini terasa sangat relaxing dan menyenangkan. Akhirnya setelah homesick dan kesepian yang menyiksa, ada juga sedikit kehangatan dan kebahagiaan yang gue dapat di sini. Am so thankful for that. To be more informative about Thanksgiving, here is a bit info of it yang gue search di Wikipedia:
"Thanksgiving, or Thanksgiving Day, is an annual one-day holiday to give thanks, traditionally to God, for the things one has at the close of the harvest season. In the United States, Thanksgiving is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November, and in Canada it is celebrated on the second Monday in October. In the United Kingdom, Thanksgiving is another name for the Harvest festival, held in churches across the country on a relevant Sunday to mark the end of the local harvest, though it is not thought of as a major event (compared to Christmas or Easter) as it is in North America, where this tradition taken by early settlers became much more important.
In the United States, certain kinds of food are traditionally served at Thanksgiving meals. First and foremost, turkey is usually the featured item on any Thanksgiving feast table (so much so that Thanksgiving is sometimes referred to as "Turkey Day"). Stuffing, mashed potatoes with gravy, sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce, Indian corn, other fall vegetables, and pumpkin pie are commonly associated with Thanksgiving dinner.
On Thanksgiving Day, families and friends usually gather for a large meal or dinner, the result being that the Thanksgiving holiday weekend is one of the busiest travel periods of the year"

Kayaknya gak berlebihan kalo gue berucap terima kasih untuk malam ini, untuk saat ini, dan untuk kehangatan yang gue peroleh malam ini dengan teman2. Just so I remember -anytime when I get so depressed of being lonely here- that I once felt happy and be thankful for what I have here. Cheers!
