I received a call yesterday from my friend Jaq . It was quite late and we were all getting ready for bed . As I answered the phone , she told me not to go to sleep just yet . It was late and why on earth was Jaq telling me not to go to bed ? I mean it's nearly eleven at night and I want to sleep !!! So okay, I asked her why again . She finally told me that she has a surprise for me . At this point I was thinking maybe a very cute chinese guy for the coming new year !!!!! Well ............ nope it wasn't that at all . Sigh............. ( better luck next time huh !!). She told me to go downstairs and wait patiently for her . I went and waited . From upstairs I could her dad asking me if I wanted some company and also if I needed my handphone . No to both questions by the way .
In two seconds flat my dad was already downstairs waiting together with me . I decided.... to call her( dad brought down my handphone ) . So I called her and made her tell me what was the surprise . After much digging she finally told me . This is what she said . " We went for a reunion dinner , and we booked two tables there's a lot of left overs and we did not want to waste it so ,I thought of you and now I am on my way to bring you the left overs . " Wow ! Sounds good eh ? So with open arms , I took the delicious food from her and thanked her and her beautiful family for thinking of us . For today ,our luch will be restaurant style except that the rice will be cooked by mum . I can't wait to chow down and taste those wonderful dishes . Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm !!! .
I am so thankful to all of my friends out there who are kind enough to share with us their humble offering . I find that in this world , we are lacking in this . Simple acts of kindness goes to show that there are those who are kind enough in this world and for that , I am truly blessed to have friends like all of you out there . Regardless of race and creed , and I say amen to that !
