It is Thanksgiving. For most of my american classmates, it is time to go home and be with their folks. For me, it has always been a very quiet period when I wind down, relax and reflect. It has been this way since the past nine years, a period of time when I do some soul searching, stock taking and planning for the year to come.
The nice thing about this 4-day break is that it is near the end of the year. It is at a point in time when you can look at nearly all the things that have happened in the year and see what have you done throughout that time. And it is far enough away from Xmas and New Year when you want to be in a festive mood.
So, as I go through my to do list, sitting alone in my apartment, I enjoy the calm and quietness surrounding the otherwise noisy and bustling neighborhood. How I wish I can eat some mooncake (yes, I love mooncake although it is past mid-autumn) and have some fine tea, listening to Jay's latest hit ... 青花瓷 (Qing Hua Ci)

Mooncake and tea sound very good, my friend. Don't have good tea at the moment, but allow me to propose a toast from the other side of the globe.
To good health, happiness and great reflection!
