okay, so i'm unable to sleep. it might have to do with the fact that i was forced to take 3 cups of tea, in a span of 1 hour, and lots of banana fritters. lots. and i mean lots.
so anyway, its been some time since i've actually written about my day. i've been doing solo shopping trips. the first time i went to IKEA to get these photoframes ( cause SOME people avoid that place at all costs and hence tell their friends that they're on their own.. janz. haha ), but it was fun. i took my time, trying to buy 10 photoframes for under 15 bucks. ended up buying 12 ( inc. 2 big ones ) for just abt the same price. haha, it was fun just comparing the frames, checking out which one was better, and i definitely wanted a variety, so i made sure of that too. the regular, wooden ones just dont appeal to me all that much.
so today, i did that once again. it was amazing. i went to queensway, and i was so happy picking out gifts!!! i made the guy at the shop try on all the jackets hahaha and i tried to bargain. he gave me an 8% discount which was totally cool and telling me how lucky the recipient of the gift was, and i was like hahah yeah i know. lol and then, of course, i went around shopping for other things. i went to the other shop and had lenthghy convos with the owners, just cause i wanted to make sure what i bought was just right. and i think it is. :D
and when i was done, i was so delighted. but really, the best part about giving gifts, is really seeing the look on that special persons face when they receive it, or the sheer happiness u get as u pass it to them. it reminded me of this quote by the one and only
You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give -Kahlil Gibran :)
albeit true.
