Jus a random thought.
I was chatting with my closest fren about how we're already preparing presents for each other. But i have a bigger headache than my fren when it comes to bdae presents. This fren of mine is very arty farty. So i'm a bit stress when it comes to thinking what i should make or buy. Reflecting what i had given to my fren, i think my presents really sux even though pple will keep saying it's the thought that counts.
My mum kept telling me in the past why need to spend money on bdae presents? Jus give ur fren a treat la. When ur young we always like to buy birthday presents for our frens but as we grow older (at least for me), i find that every yr i am like buying the same kind of typical presents...i guess most of you noe what are the typical presents la (shan't mention jus in case u get one frm me! lol...) I am lazy when it come to thinking what presents i shld get. Dunno if the person will like it and if our tastes will be different. Unless u really noe what the person really wants and likes then i think it's more worth buying it.
This yr i ask my own clique of frens wat they wan for their presents cos the 3 of us dunno what to get for the one whose bdae falls in April, the earliest amongst us. So i decided we get vouchers so dat she can buy what she likes. Then for the other frens whose bdaes fall in may and june respectively they also said they wan vouchers cos they find it very..useful? See...some presents i wld say even though u dun have to make a big effort to think what u wan to buy (those typical presents category) can be very meaningful too...hahaha
Now i think my mum is rite. Sometimes i find giving presents very meaningless if the person dun use/like it whatsoever. Giving a treat is more meaningful. Everybody needs to eat. lol!
Crap!
