A gift of love




I just received my first birthday present for the year! And my birthday is still 2 months away...\(^V^)/



Like jane said, good surprises once in a while spice up life and give your heart some positive boost... But life is life, nobody can avoid bad ones too ... Let's just hope these ones don't happen too often :P



My friend passed me a nicely wrapped present a few days ago. She said she couldn't wait til my birthday to give me, hence an early birthday wish..... I, on the other hand, COULD wait for my birthday to come because I wanna stay at 25 forever.... but any early birthday presents are sure welcomed ^^






What could it be?



Like others, I shook the present up and down to try and guess what's inside. It totally made no sound! Also, holding the gift in my hand felt.... 'empty'. It was like having nothing in my hand! Then I started to wonder if my friend was actually playing a joke on me... is it really... empty? >_<


Can't blame me for having such suspicion because once upon a time, I was tricked...... by very own flesh and blood sister......




One year, we siblings decided that we should have gifts exchange on Xmas day.... presents started to pile up under the tree and one big box had my name on it. It was darn heavy too! I was so excited.. What could it be?




On 25th of December 1994 (yes, i remember the darn date too!), I practically tore open my present.... The gift box was filled with paper balls.... i dug thru them and at the very bottom, I found a big chunk of rock! Ha! I wish it was a big diamond! The rock wasn't even new! It was taken (or should i say, borrowed) from our garden! You couldn't imagine how disappointed I was.... then something made me smile thru my tears... there was a set of pinkish heart-shaped hair pins! They were so pretty... and what made it special is that, it was a gift from my sister's heart....




Back to my original topic, although the gift felt as if it was empty, i was sure my friend had stuffed her 'love' in it... it's a matter of whether I could feel it or not.... I carefully tore open the present and guess what i saw....

A kitty cat in my favourite colour! My friend handmade it herself...




Say meowwww....

Am so touched *sob sob*




You know, nothing can bother u if you have a positive heart and mind....
