thanksgiving

Jared's doing guard duty in camp at this very moment... poor boy... *hugs*
called me this morning to moan about his start of guard duty,
he'll only be home tomorrow morning... then still have to book in tomorrow nite! *gasp*
he's thinking of getting MC so can rest at home for a day, i think it's a good idea.
he's got a sprained ankle anyway...

Jared just said something that struck my heart...
i asked if he's going to Zouk-Out next weekend.
he said it was too troublesome coz it's at Sentosa...
and he said "i want to spend more time with my family."
i was really quite surprised!
Jared never struck me as one who would want to spend more time at home with his family...
he's never mentioned about FAMILY before... alwiz talking about clubbing or something...

ever since i've known him... he's always been the carefree, individualistic, stubborn person.
who only knows how to demand from his parents, quarrels with his Mum,
throw tantrums and slams the door at his Dad...
i alwiz called him the young punk, or immatured juvenile...

perhaps really national service that made him realized his need for them,
and expressed appreciation for his family. home is where warmth and love resides.
i am very glad for him... it's thanksgiving.
his parents love him alot. so does his siblings. he's the eldest!
his younger brother is really adorable!

then again, in many ways, i am rather similar to him.
the way i took my family for granted, demanded stuff from my parents,
defied their orders, refused to do them favours and said hurtful words in their face...
maybe that's why Jared understands me coz we have the same temprement...

what i am trying to say here is, appreciate your family.
you won't know when you will lose them to some unforeseen accidents.
express your love and concern. let them know you love and need them.
be thankful for their love and attention. refrain from hurtful words and actions.
compromise and everyone will be living together harmoniously under one roof.

happy thanksgiving!
