Good day, good week. Birthday upcoming, even though the significance gradually decrease with the increase of age.... haha
My sister always have a wishlist. I actually like how she's clear about what she wants for her birthday, and it saves me time to think about what to get her. A lot of the times, I think I do have a wishlist too... well everyone has things that they want, right? It depends on whether you think it's something that you want to have someone get it for you, or to get it yourself. I'm the later one. I keep the list to myself, not because I don't want to get things from people, but I enjoy the moment to wait and anticipate. I want to know if there'd be a person who can read my mind. Haha yes very lame. But I always believe, if there's such a person, who can understand and get me what I need/ like/ want, that person him/herself is a much greater gift than anything else.
I also love to see, without being asked, what people would get me. I think this implies what they think I like, or even what kind of person they think I am. It's interesting :) really really interesting. Sometimes it includes expectations too. An old nice aunt from church gave me a book, coz she thinks this would change my life as how it has changed hers. Another sister got me candle because she wants me to keep shining lights in the world. Some people instead give what they like, and hoping that you'd like it too. I've got incense, accessories, crystals or simply a hand-written card... And by looking at the gifts, I have a better idea what to get them when it's their birthdays.
Handmade product always move my heart. Simple, non-commercialized. The time taken and the effort is worth more a hundred millions, my dear little cousin, has been making me birthday gift since kindergarten, and now that she's F.1, she still does. Love her!
And most of the times, a message, a quick call, is already the best gifts. Because at least, in this particular one day of the year, you remember me, as one good friend. Nothing more than that is more important. :)
