Hadiah :)
Assalamualaikum and hi…
Its 14th February today, most couples and those who are in love may have been longing for this day to come as it is synonym with the “day of expressing love” or might as well very known as‘Valentine’s Day’.
How many of us do know the story behind the so-called lovely day?
Want to know about it? You can just google and there would be plenty of articles waiting to be read. And again, look for those which are reliable. And if you’re a Muslim, why don’t try to search in Islamic perspective because as far I am concern this so-called lovely day is not as lovely as it may seem. Try to search and see what you can find.
Love is not only celebrated by lovers but is also celebrated among friends. Like us. It is not necessary needed to be said but actions that we do could describe more than everything. Some of the ways are through mutual understanding, being supportive at all time, encouraging one another, being the shoulder to cry, giving advices etc. Loving a friend too does not mean we always have to agree on the same thing because as a normal human being, we have our own thoughts, thus we have different views and we have disagreements. Well, disagreements are disagreements. There’s always a solution to everything right? So, solve it.
Because of love too, a good friend and I had decided to take February as the month for us to exchange gifts. It has been 4 years now. Not that we celebrate Valentine’s but February is just so tempting with chocolates and pretty gifts, that’s why we choose the month. Girls like pretty cute things. =P
If the previous four years it would only be myself and a friend celebrating our friendship, which began from the first day of staying in Maktab, but this year we decided to invite another good friend to join our celebration that it makes us as three. And to my surprise, things are merrier when we have more good friends.
The trio celebration looks a bit special I guess. Why? Because I receive more gifts than I thought. WoW! Kenapa bg aku banyak-banyak ni? And one belated birthday present. THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!! Love them. Really appreciate them. Ni yang makin sayang ni!!! Just like the Prophet s.a.w said, “Exchange gifts, as that will lead to increasing your love to one another.” [Al-Bukhari].
Hmm..frankly, I don’t mind of the things you girls gave me. But since you have given me astonishing beautiful wonderful gifts, what else can I do but to take. Terharu ~ Hehehe. 
Hmm..to me, its not about receiving the quantity of gifts nor how much it cost but giving it sincerely because you want your friends to have it /them. Because friendship IS about sincerity.
So…what’s for next year? Hehe. Perhaps we should invite more. More = Merrier =More Love. Hmm…more presents? Hehe.
