Thanksgiving 2008 Part 2

The day after Thanksgiving, I had to go into work. It was a strange day - I was at a client's apartment for four hours going through her paperwork and answering her questions. I don't know why I thought I'd be sitting in the living room with her sipping tea and chatting about the weather. I was exhausted by the time I got to the office, and I had a pounding headache. It was so bad that I could hardly do any work, but somehow I got through the day. Then I went to my friend's aunt's house in NJ for Thanksgiving dinner #2! She was kind enough to invite a few of us young adults over for hot pot, fellowship and ping pong. The adults kept making us eat more and more and more, even when we said we were full, they still kept feeding us nonstop! LOL, Chinese culture is so centered around food.

After we stuffed ourselves with hotpot, we went downstairs to play ping pong, well I mostly watched cuz I stink at it. Then we had some time of worship and fellowship, ate some dessert. It was really amazing because my headache was still there during dinner, but somewhere during worship I think it went away and awhile later I realized that it was gone! A lot of times I feel like we just get together to play games and hang out, and there's nothing wrong with that of course, but it's refreshing and encouraging to have a time of corporate worship and fellowship, and getting to know one another on a deeper level.

I learned a new feature on my camera. They were telling me that you can choose to have certain colors show up in black and white pictures. This was their proof. Interesting huh?
