Bearing Gifts

As some of you might know, my dear older brother is coming back after a year spent abroad studying! Now, I know that we don’t speak on a daily basis, but he’s the only brother I’ve got, a fact that was drilled into me by my mother whenever I used to bully him as a kid.

So, right now he’s touring Europe, he’s gone to Germany and probably headed to Switzerland, the lucky chap. He sent back both his luggage and in them were our gifts from him! Couldn’t tell which present I was more excited over. The food or my idols merchandises.

All the way from UK, the first thing I had my hands on was my FRIENDS tv boxset! Was squealing in delight over the completed set and I ripped opened the plastic wrap with much enthusiasm.

Doesn’t it just make you swoon? I felt like doing that. Well, after the initial excitement, I re wrapped it in plastic and placed it back in on my shelf, away from temptation’s way. I shall have a marathon only when I’m done with school. Or perhaps on someone’s birthday celebration? Any excuse to watch just 1 season. Okay, who am I kidding, I’d probably watch at least 3 if I lay my hands on it.

Next up, Westlife! I can almost see you rolling your eyes. Okay, now you’re chuckling. Hey, give the girl a break. She’s loyal to a fault.

Key Ring! Love the packaging and the green jewels on the W letter… Which is blocked by the hook… Wonderful.

The highlight of the day, the signed photographs and their farewell tour booklet! Superb. Was flipping through the book and there were so many photographs and bittersweet memories of the band’s 14 year journey. Nothing lasts forever, but I’m so glad they held out this long.

Well, after all the excitement from the presents, the next best gift would be my brother returning home safely. October’s just arrived and 2012 is drawing to a close. I hope that everyone’s year has been smooth so far and let’s hope for a good end to the year.

Afterall, with Christmas just around the corner, happiness can’t be far behind.

Do you make yourself happy?
