Season to give.

Well, as this is the Season to Give..a competition set by Ken himself in his blog, Tapestry, i wanna share my best gift/present i've ever received story.


It was my 17th birthday, in school. I was having monthly test on that day itself (it happens every year on my birthday). So just keep it low.


Just minutes after my 1st test finished, my friends, my lovely friends, came to me,surround me at my table and gave me a box, 8" x 12" purple-ish pink color box, with grafitti, and a lovely golden organza tied around the box, and of course, my favourite flower, an artificial sunflower, on the box. It was a surprise, as I thought no one gonna wish me anything.






When I opened the box, OMG, so many things inside.





1) a mug, I don't remember where I put it now :)
2) snoopy's assesories (one of my favourite cartoon charactor)
3) many many short msges/wishes in one of the snoopy metal tube can, and the one I look forward to is, my crush's birthday wish for me :)





4) Pucca's notebook, badges and keychains (never use before)



5) a blue and white strip top, still in my closet
6) birthday cards


The one on the left, is handmade by Maine, right, by Christine


and a lot more, which now I can't really remember, as it was like, 5 years ago.


I was surprised, and I cried in front of them, I was touched because they still remember and they made it special for me.


All these were my friend's idea, Charmaine. Maine, planned this earlier, much early, and I remembered, she bought that box with me. She told me, she wanted to give something for her mom with that box, but I never expect she planned it with other friends, to come out with this fabulous present. She has been the most creative one among my friends, she loves crafts and all. That explains how well she planned, and what she did.


Most of the gifts in the box, I still keep it til now, untouched. Some are too pretty, I really , 'tak sampai hati' to use it.



So far, it was my best gift ever from friends even though I still receive surprises from my friends, college friends.
