I uhhhh.. kinda complained about a birthday gift I received from my bunch of good friends last year. Yeaaaaa I actually bitched about it for sometimes.
Here's the story.
Last year I received a snow globe from them. As below.
To be honest, when I unwrapped the box at home and found this inside, I was kinda... confused. There are soooooo many options out there and WHY they picked a snow globe (5 or 6 of them sharing it). An UGLY snow globe.
It's not like Im being insatiate. I really appreciated them came all the way from Jawi to Penang to celebrate with me. Kept me accompanied the whole day. I reaaaaaaally do. I swear! Nothing can compare with that and our friendships. Omg now I found myself not making any sense. Jeez.
Anyway anyway, there were once, some of us were talking and suddenly one of them mentioned about my birthday gift. And that was how I started to erm.. complained about it.....
I asked them why on earth they picked a snow globe for me. Who in the age of 21 needs a freaking snow globe?! And s'more it's ugly. Okay I was being mean.. and acting like a bitch. -.- and then I told them I dont need an expensive gift or what, something useful will do, I really dont mind if it was just a book (at least it's useful). What am I supposed do with a snow globe?!
They said they had no idea that was a snow globe as well, because they didnt pick the present. They just passed the money to the girl (another friend from the group) and let her make the choice as they thought it'd be more appropriate 'cause a girl will know what a girl wants. They were shocked when they know about it too.
Ever since then, I complained a lil bit about it when they talk about present. I got even more beh syiok when they said they planing to buy an external hard disk for her birthday. I was thinking it's SO UNFAIR when they got her an external hard disk and I just got a stupid snow globe! Am I just less important to them?! They even said because she seems like she needs one, owh great so you guys think I need a snow globe so much? Pft. I even said I refused to pay for that. I know I know, very childish and xiao qi. But it just made me felt that way mah. =(
But I forgot what we got her for her birthday, or we didnt.
This year, they brought me to Neway (a karaoke inside Queensbay Mall). We sang for so many hours there and had so much fun, and it came with the buffet. And they have the offer for birthday ppl, which is free. This would be more than enough and it was memorable! =D
Then they gave me a present, it's a necklace. It is so pretty and I dont know how much it cost them. Plus the karaoke session, they really spent a lot I think. =(

I dont know if it was because what I complained about the snow globe, so they got me a necklace this year. If that was really the reason, it so making me feel guilty!
I dont need an expensive present! As long as it's something useful, as I said previously, a book I also happy d! I complained about the snow globe merely because it really not something I needed (and it's for kiddo).
This thing constantly remembering in my heart. What I meant is I dont care how cheap the present is if it's useful. I dont need a really pricy gift. And look, even if without the present, we had the memorable memories. =D
And I am so happy to have you all as my friends!
