Gratefulness

Havent felt so grateful to be back in Hong Kong for awhile.
Though, it was kind of unlucky that the flight was cancelled on Sat.

On the other hand, it makes me realise that I am a very fortunate person. With a home in London to go back to when everyone else got stranded. I got someone waiting for me at home- yes, my dear brother.

When I got home that day in the snow, as i dragged my suitcase towards the door-step. My heart was pounding, exhausted after a long day of travelling and waiting.

There he opened the door, with a warm welcoming face. That moment, I think I forgot all the troubles that I had been through. Was lucky to bump into David too at the airport, a friend to keep you company home, I was grateful.

Since been having a really busy time in Bath, home felt extra cosy. That bowl of pasta tasted particularly delicious (when havent had proper food for the day- nothing to do with his cooking to b honest...haha)

Another phone call from Jess.
Surprisingly, didnt feel fustrated at all, but peaceful.
There was no places better than home.

On the next day, things began to worry me, when calling the airline N times with no answers.
I seriously began to feel anxious.
Sitting there waiting for news, refreshing heathrow and CX homepage every now and then. Rarely, I did not appreciate the snow at all. When I see how mum and dad trying every way to sort out the problem, I know I got to be patient. But I guess I didnt sound cheerful at all on skype or phone.

Bro got home that day, bought lots of food for hot pot. He was half joking saying "well we can spend the xmas together having hot-pot everyday if we dont get to go back to HK"

Oh that didnt really make me feeling better to have hot-pot EVERYDAY. But watching him, chopping the veggie up and setting up the table, I felt guilty. Am I spoiled? I began to help out setting things up too. If the flight hasnt been cancelled, I guess I wouldnt have a night like this with him.

I guess I miss him a lot during the term time. It was time to gather myself up to do something productive- i.e. Work? after spending a whole day in bed, waiting for time to tick by.

Was preparing to standby at the airport the next day. Didnt have to since mum managed to do the re-booking. I should enjoy the last day of white christmas. Shame didnt get to catch my st.helen''s girlies but I think I am one of the most fortunate person with all those caring texts.
I truly wish to see them all very soon in 2011.

Finally, get to fly out.
After all that waiting, I can only say I feel grateful.
Grateful to have home with a brother there.
Grateful to have friends and INTERNET
Grateful to have such cool parents

Most importantly, grateful to have God, with me all the time.
Its just grateful to feel grateful.

And now, I am home again in Hong Kong with my be-loved ones.

Ah...Merry Christmas Sharon Sin!!!
