Hey guys, so it's the 17th today,two days after my 21st birthday haha! And boy, have I been getting a lot of presents. I'm quite sure it's got something to do with being 21 years of age ya... that number, 21!
So first up, I received a Mac Air three days ago which really caught me by surprise. Firstly, it was on the 14th which wasn't exactly my birthday yet, so I wasn't expecting any gifts. Not that I was expecting any gifts at all though. Secondly, although I did expect to get a Mac (MacBook, MacAir, MacPro... not too sure how many types there are) from my parents as they had been looking around for one, I did not expect it to be so soon. Frankly, I was not even ready to receive a Mac yet. My room is still very messy and I have no space to place it.
Moreover, despite knowing that I was holding a Mac in my hands, there was still the question of whether it was a MacPro or a MacAir. I even thought it could have been an Ipad or something, seeing as it was given to me in a manila envelope, just as how Steve Jobs did his presentation on the MacAir. Hahaha, I'm really clueless about these computers. Still, I feel really excited receiving my first Apple product, a MacAir! That certainly seems a more practical gift for my 21st than getting a "key", which is supposed to be a mandatory gift from parents to 21 year olds.
Moving on, I also received a wallet from my cousins as a birthday gift which really surprised me. I was totally not expecting them to get me a gift! I do need to change my wallet so I sure am glad to have gotten that. Another surprise came in the form of a customized CROSS pen from my siblings with my name on it. It looks really sleek and awesome hahaha! I really love it!
All in all, I had a really awesome 21st birthday even though I did not hold a huge party.
Okay, so those were the gifts I received thus far. I still have some pending gifts though. My uncle has said that he intends to get me a Crumpler messenger bag as a gift. However, there are too many different colours and sizes and he did not want to pick something I did not like so he wants me to buy the bag first and he will pay for it after. That is all alright with me except that he had stated a budget of $200-300!! Frankly, I do not need such an expensive gift man! I am not one to go for branded goods. Still, it is his gift so I agreed.
The best thing is, all my gifts this time round are practical items which I have use for. This sure beats holding a huge 21st birthday celebration and ending up with too many gifts which may not be of much use to me. That would leave me with too many things clogging up my room... hahaha. I am still trying to clear out my stuff lol!
All I can say is, I am really OVERWHELMED with my gifts this birthday. Many thanks!
