I was reluctant at first because I was really keen to eat my pizza. After hesitating a little, I go ahead with opening the parcel because I suspect it might be a gift from either dad or mum.
As I unwrap the parcel and open the box, I found a smaller box, an anti-virus, a laptop bag and a dongle.
Once I opened the small box, the word Acer pop up and I knew my mother bought me a new laptop.
It's official. I own my first personal laptop at the age of 25.
My family expected me to be very happy with this gift. I was and still am very happy to own a laptop. I do not wish to have one but owning one now is considered a blessing. Honestly, when I received it, I had mixed feeling. I am sure all of you why go, "What? Are you nuts? Your mum bought you a laptop and you are suppose to be happy because you don't have to fork out money for it. What's with the mixed feeling? Are you sick or what?"
That's the problem with me. I have lived without laptop and my days still pass by happily. I survive on sharing the desktop with my family members and when someone else is using the deskop, I will spend my time reading or watching the television. I do not need a laptop to do assignments or research or for work purposes. Therefore, laptop is solely a luxury item and not a necessity for me. I have never thought and never plan to get myself a laptop in the near future because I don't really need it.
Secondly, why did mum suddenly spend such a large amount of money on me? I feel guilty for 'wasting' her money. Well, yes I did not request for it but still, she could put the money to better use like pampering herself etc (that's the greatness of a mother).
I am posting this entry from my new laptop and I am trying to use it as often as possible to show my appreciation. Just in case you are reading this mummy, I really like this gift but in the future, it should be the other way round.....I should be the one getting you luxurious stuff.
