hey,, i m feeling very hapy dis few days since d new yr is jz ard d corner, which means dat my bday is jz ard d corner s well.it’s not dat i m announcing it to u guys, it’s jz dat i wanna share my feelings with those who have been so kind to me!thou i do admit dat i m very insensitiv to others at certain times.
wen i joined my gang, v sort of hv some kind of tradition to ask d bday gal wat she wants den v wil try to get wat she wanted.hence, wen it’s end of yr, v oways fork out cash to try to fulfill wat d bday gal wants.n it has been like dat ever since, n of cos v do dat willlingly, tinking dat d bday gal does deserve it.
but wen i talk to one of my closest buddy dat day, she told me dat actually she don really like to b forced to say out wat kind of bday present she wants, she doesn’t really care wat wil she get n actually she prefered d old style of gifts, things like bday cards o small key chains.wen she said dat, it sort of reminded me of d real meaning of bday, in some sense.(d suspense wen u r guessing b4 opening d gift rather den already knowing wat kind of gifts u wil get).
b4 entering uni, i nv even celebrate my bday wif frenz.to me, bday is jz anothe normal day.but it seems dat wen u got into uni, any day can b a special day provided dat u r wif ur frenz to celebrate it.wen i was in secondary skul, ther wont b any parties o outing to places like secret recipe o starbucks to celebrate it.presents is all dat matters.n i do rmber d kind of feeling as i got d present wen i least expect it.of cos i din expect it, cos i nv tink of bday s any special reason to celebrate it anyway.din bother much bout it (dat’s y i m such a not romantic person).it’s d present dat make me realise dat at least ther is stil some one who cares bout me dat sort make me feel blissful.
hence, wen my fren ask me wats d real meaning behind celebrating a bday, i thought of all those happy times together wif my frens.how d stingy me would tink dat bday actually means t0 fork out money only(back then wen i m so naive).but now, as time change, i m more den willing to share in d bday presents, no matter how dear it can b.cos it’s fren dat matters.if u tink dat d fren is worth dat kind of gift, den u wil nv hv second thought bout it.u jz sort of go into automatic mode to plan d bday urself.dats a great feeling.
den an idea struck me.actually b4 my bday, i already planned d list of gifts i would like to hv.my frens actually plan to search for it already.but……i suddenly realise dat dats not wat i want.wat i want is gifts dat can remind me of my frens, not stuff dat i need in daily life.even small gifts such s bday cards will do cos d words written in it can mean more den those pricely gifts.i m d kind of person who love dis kind of touching stuffs.hence, i tot my fren wil b happier to giv me these ‘tiny’ presents s their wallets wont suffer too much.but then, they decide dat dey wil not do dat, cos dey paise since i had shared so many money in their gifts but wat i ask in return for my gifts costs very little if compared to theirs.actually frens, i don mind bout dat at all.presents r not about prices, they are about sincerity n willingness.i really do prefer cards n small gifts.
my fren siok koon made me a bday card on her own, n it’s pretty.wen i saw dat,i wanted to hug her(which of cos will scare her to death cos i m nv dat type of person) but she was bz in d lab at dat time.u cant imagine how happy n contented i felt at dat moment.yes, it’s only a bday card but i m even more hapy to receive it if compared to getting a bag dat costs much more den dat.so sweet of her to do dat for me.thou d person who made it may not tink dat it’s a big deal, it is a big deal to me.phay san made a bday card cum book mark for me while v were workin part time in d office, thou it’s simple but i tink it beats all d other book marks available in d market.but dis time i don get to hug her cos she seems to sense it n ran away from me afte giving it to me.i cant tell u how happy i m ytrdy, not bcos my bday is ard d corner but it’s bcos my fren actually take d effort to do it.
thnks to kelvin for ur gift thou i hvnt gone bek to kulim to take it, n thkns to thing thing s well.her gift is d first gift i received n i do like it.n sure, thnks to my rum mate for her turtle hp chains (she knew i luv turtles ^_^) n thnks to everyone else who had come into my life!!
so dats y i stil prefer to send cards n letters rather den jz sms alone.sms can nv defeat letters n cards wen it comes to spreading ur own kindness n care dat u wish to show.try it if u don believe it n u wil b suprised wif d outcome!it is actually more demanding to send letters n cards den sending sms!
