prezzies

I haven't mentioned that surprisingly I received presents for my birthday. I think life is more interesting and surprising when you don't expect much but you actually receive something.

Such as the prezzies. Perhaps they were to balance the disappointment caused by people who forgot to send their wishes (can you believe that up to NOW my parents hadn't say a word about it!!). I can't believe my mom.. my biological mom forgot she gave birth to this beautiful daughter of her... *cheeky*. It seems she's going senile, no doubt about it.

Anyway, the funniest belated present was from a friend, where she bought me a collection of short stories called 25 Kisah Cinta Sejati. The trouble of buying someone something you don't know about. I mean, if you give someone a book it should be something you recommend, right? Well, not this one. Then again, my friend is a bit eccentric in her own ways.

It's a thin book and nothing deep about it. It claimed the stories were true, but the writers were rather disappointing as they didn't even try to explore more. It was an effortless quick read. Most were fragments of luvie duvie crush, some are curhats (blaaahh). Quick read as I said, and none is special that stick in my mind.

I still can't figure out why she picked that book out? Of all the books in Gramedia, she could easily pick out an edition of Chicken Soup, for instance. The cover itself it's less impressive and she should know that I don't like pink! Oh well, they say the thought that matters. In this case, I wonder what could that be... Maybe (deliberately or not) she was trying to point out that at my age, I missed out the juvenile romance and remind me to... what...?? Hmm... some thought that is.

Thanks anyway, Ket, and the generous people who would spare time to look for nice gifts!!
