On giving presents

a friend once commented jokingly " i dont need presents, i can afford to buy them myself" yes, i fully agree with that - as we grow more financially independent (esp. after several years of slogging in the corporate world and scrimping & saving), surely we can afford that Pada bag, that Dor dress, that Show-pard watch or kawaii stuffs or fabrics. No doubt, we would feel a pinch or 'slap' in spending that few thousands or hundreds on a miserable item (some would say its an investment) , but yes, we can still afford to buy them ourselves.

BUT (i emphasize), nothing beats the feeling of receiving it as a present!

its starts from the anticipation of receiving the present to the joy of receiving the present to the excitement in peeling off the wrappers to see the treasure to holding the trophy in your hands and lastly to share your joy with those around you (some would say its to boast about it). it is especially joyous to get a present which you like alot.

i love to receive presents! gimme gimme gimme more! :D
