Heya!!!! O. M. GOOSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHH.
Today, once again I went into reception to check the post, not knowing why I keep doing it when I always come out empty handed. But I did it anyway. Searching through all the parcels on the table, lo and behold. I got POST. WHEEEEEEE. I didn't know who it was from, cuz I only saw that it had my name on it, so I walked out of the reception with this RIDICULOUS smile on my face. I looked down at the postage slip thingy and read that it was from Shelia. Shelia! Tur tur shelia! I actually, literally stopped. in. my. tracks. And I just stared at the parcel with my jaw on the floor. I didn't expect that at all!!!!!!!!!!! She asked for my address like a week before my birthday, but now it's already March, we've had loads of tests and have more coming up. I had completely forgotten about it. I was just. Omgosssh. Absolutely thrilled. The feeling was amazing. Like, close your eyes, feel how blessed you are, send some thanks to God, amazing! hahaha!
So I went back to the apartment, squealing in delight (in my mind anyway) and I went to take a shower. Hahaha. Everything had to be perfect for when I open the post. Just like how I like to take a shower before dinner because dinner is family time then lazy time after that, and it's nice to be clean and relaxed for it all. :D (Denise is right, I'm kinda full of crap) haha. Actually it was just that I couldn't stand my hair cuz it was oily and disgusting. So yea. SAME THING. Then after shower, dry hair, moisturise, drink water, text, I sat down and opened the parcel.
WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. On the postage slip, it wrote "clothes, book, card". At first, I expected the book to be THE green book, THE KTPS green book between the four of us girls that we write stuff in. But it wasn't. It was a diary. There was a card from Tur, a written letter from Steph, Pei and someone that I totally didn't expect, Jason! hahahaha. Surprise surprise!!! There was this realllllllyyyyy sakai-what-a-typical-guy-gift bookmark from Jason (which I LOVE haha), pajama pants from Tur and Pei, and Steph got me the diary, a postcard from Taiwan, and birthday candles -.--.-.-.-.-.-.- cuz she said that, in case I didn't have any candles to blow out, I could light those and blow them out.... by myself. Hahaha. she's always SO hilarious.
Omygosh. As I went through the letters, one by one, I could feel my aura or my sense of feeling blessed (whuut) or afterglow or euphoria or whatever just grow grow grow growwwww around me till it was impenetrable. I was smiling like an idiot to myself, just thinking wow wow wow wow. I was almosssst brought to tears a couple of times by some of their words. It's just really. Great. You know?? I guess sometimes I forget how amazing our friendship is. (KTPS I mean, not Jason. hahahaha) To be honest, maybe sometimes I take it for granted and forget it, and feel that it... has faded to almost nothing? Because we hardly talk. We had a facebook message thread to keep each other updated but slowly, less stuff got posted. Now we have a whatsapp group, but it's only an occasional "oh is anyone going back to KK for CNY?" "omggggg I'm soo stressed :'(" kinda stuff you know?
But. Gah. It's just. Sad. Cuz we're all grown up, we're all apart (except for Steph and Tur), we all have our own lives (OMG! TUR HAS A BF!!!!!!! And Pei has one too in KL, and they both seem reallllyyyyyy happy). But I guess it's what Pei said in her letter. That our friendship has moved on to the mature stage, where we dont have to text or talk to each other every day, but we know that we still care for each other. :) You know the kind of feeling where you don't really talk to that person anymore, but you miss them and worry about them? I do.
And Steph was sooooo touching in her letter. Hahaha. At first her letter started out with this super tidy handwriting and I felt SO BAD because I honestly could not figure out who it was till I actually read it. Hahaha. She started out normal and crazy and then she became serious. She said that she knows it's tough for me to study so far away from home, and that I will feel lonely and lost and like there's no one to talk to. OMGGGGGG TEARJERKER!!!!!!!!!! And she just asked me to always look to God, cuz He's the only one who will be there whenever I need someone, no matter where I am in the world. I don't know, I think it really touched me because I've never really spoke much to her about how tough I sometimes find it here. Not the course being tough (though it is, but that's manageable (awkward if I fail)), and not the food or laundry or living by myself thing. Just, being so far from home. And she understands. I found myself shouting in my head, YOU KNOW WHAT IT FEELS LIKE. IT'S THE EXACT SAME FOR YOU. Probably worse cuz she's so so close with her family. But anyhow. She's really a great friend. AND SHE SAID THAT SHE PROMISES THAT AFTER SHE WORKS AND SAVES MONEY, SHE WILL COME AND VISIT ME HERE!!!!
I don't know. This may sound bad but, I felt blessed all over again to be reminded of how I have these amazing friends. How I kinda forgot about them as close friends for a while. :) And I've tried and failed many times to use a diary/planner. But now that she bought me one I WILL use it. I WILL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'll start from the next academic year. :D (Feel bad cuz Kel bought me an amazingly cute planner but I stopped using it after a while).
Oh. As for Jason. Hahahahhahaha. LOVE THE BOOKMARK cuz it's sooooooooooooo. cute. HAHAHA. It says that Friendship is a special kind of love. AWWWWWWWWWWWWW. Really appreciate that I have such an awesome friend in him. :) Simple and true. ENOUGH SAID.
So yea. I better study. :') :')
Thank you God, for blessing me with these great great gifts. It's more than I am worthy of. Thank you! And let me always remember this amazing feeling of gratitude, of friendship, of LOVE!!!!!!!!! Let me always remember to truly truly appreciate all these people in my life. :)
