gift and friendship.


I am not used to gifts...seriously, I am not. Well, at least not anymore. And when I get an unexpected gift from someone, I am deeply flattered, regardless what it is, how much it costs or how big it is.

I realized that for a few decades before, all the gifts that I cherished were mostly from apak n mak.

A music box that played Memories, a Barbie wearing cowboy attire,and a few others wearing dresses, rm100 for every A I got for PMR, watches from baby g, elle, casio, swatch ,guess,dkny,esprit to an expensive one.and always a hp when it always becoming a faulty one.hehe. I got a birthday present every single year until i willingly dont want gift anymoe for my 'bracess' reason.haha.(bajet money kan.hehe)

Another present I got and never forgot was a u2 jacket from my little bro
thers, the only thing I ever received from them.hehe

And I remember a pink towel,pink bear and a pink shirt from my cousins.I kept it until it was old and full of bugs before I threw it away!hehe

I remember a huge bear from hafzan in 2003 i guess, one which I still have until today.

and

a few GREEEEEEN things from my beloved bestfrens for my bday which were a green flipflop,a green towel,a green shawl and a green bag with a green card!!haha.and they intently do so even that thy knew the fact that i love pink very much..haha.followed by a red things a year after.haha.

saja tawww!hehe.thanx.hehe

and the pink songket from a close fren too.

and a watch and a crocs sandal from the loved one.

I never expected anything from anyone...but it was nice to be remembered.

Now seriously, I don't make friends easily. I have trust issues and don't open up quickly. I thought that I would never make anymore new friends after I finished my university life.

You see, somewhere along the line, I forgot.

I forgot that not everyone was untrustworthy. Not everyone uses other people to their advantage. Not everyone just takes and takes and takes. Not everyone just finds you only when they are in deep shit. Not everyone who talks behind your back.


I realized that not all good friends stay..for example i lost contact with few frens of mine back in a primary and secondary school..yes it happened sometimes. So it's no use feeling bitter and hurt. Just move on and wish them happiness.

I realized that it is possible to make new friends. I am glad that I was wrong in thinking otherwise.

I don't really remember if I took the time to thank all of them for their gifts. Or even if I ever gave something back in return.

This is another way of me saying thank you for bringing light in my life when I almost believed good friends don't exist anymore, much like the term give and take. Maybe someday, I will write about why I almost believed it.

will cherish ya all,
