I get alot of sudden thoughts these few days. Or maybe because I haven't had got the time to sit down alone at home since I have been reaching home at the wee hours almost everyday. Anyway, I found out that I get alot of gifts of love from many people. People whom I am close to and even from people whom I might have only known for a few moments. All these things warm my heart, making me think that there is still hope in humankind! Haha! So let me see... I got an Egyptian Queen bust(as in head, not that bust) from a CO instructor whom I wouldn't say I am very close to. But ever since he found out that I was very into Egypt and stuff, he gave me some of the things he brought back from Egypt as soveniors. It's really sweet of him because all along, I thought that he was just joking about giving me the bust and when he really brought it, it was really a very pleasant surprise! It was somewhat like a christmas present which I really like because of its significance in itself. I too got a Starbucks tumbler from Japan, airmailed by a Japanese customer whom I had only shared a few moments with. I guess they really enjoyed our company and is keeping constant contact with us. It is amazing when people whom you might know practically nothing about makes the extra effort to be nice to us whereas people whom you might know for your whole life hasn't given you anything at all. My christmas ducky, Merry X (from now on called X), was something which I thought was quite sweet. The fact that he was willing to spend the money catching X for me without giving up with just the intention to make me happy. No matter what others say about the duck, I am really very appreciative of it. Really. Although whatever you want I can't give you, but our friendship now is really the best one. Sometimes I really don't know what to do without your friendship. You are great! (You know who you are..) A friend whom I haven't known for long but has also given me much. For not forgetting me in all your moments of joy, confiding in me and also sometimes listening to me whine and stuff. My working environment is so much livelier with you around. Although it is kinda rare to have alot of moment of silence together but whenever we go out, it is fun. All the time just hanging out in cafes, shopping, walking around, bitching about other people and of course guy-watch! Memorable stuff. Love ya lots man.. Another surprise gift I got yesterday, as in New Year's Day itself, is an Egyptian painting. I was just joking with my mum's friend about him giving me his 3 paintings on the wall and I was really shocked when he readily took one down for me and said would give me all 3 over a span of 3 years as my birthday presents. It was so sweet. How many people would readily pluck something off their house walls that have been there for who-knows-how-long? How many people have offered to give you something but has always been 'forgetting' or putting it off? I was and still am really touched by his actions and his generosity. I think I really love all those around me. They have been offering support, company and everything I need all the time, no matter when I need them or not. And their main intention is to make someone happy and the someone happens to be me! So, I think I really am a fortunate little girl. Now, maybe it's time for me to spread my fortune! :) Love all you guys lots!
