* touched

A year ago, just before i left for ktn, i gave a small, childish, self-made bookmark to a few frens of mine in KL - coz i didn't know whether i'll be staying long in ktn.. or will i ever meet them again. .. etc..

so the bookmark was like a little memory i leave behind for them to behold. It was a very simple, barely 3x6cm bookmark, decorated with a little gold dust, cartoons i drew n short messages from my heart.

Recently i bumped into one of these frens.. had a short chat with him, and to my surprise, he told me, "I'm still keeping the bookmark you gave last year."

I smiled, "It was a cheap, simple bookmark... I didn't expect u to keep it for so long..."

Then came the next beautiful surprise. He took out his wallet, and out of it he took a small piece of paper, "It has always been with me, all the time."

"Woooowww!!!" I squealed & jumped up excitedly. I grabbed the paper from his hand. It was exactly the same bookmark i made for him. I was elated! First, I've never thought that he will keep the bookmark. Secondly, he kept it in his wallet!!! All the time! I had almost wanted to hug him, but being a "serious" person, I told myself, "Self-control.. self-control..."

Wow!! Tat night I couldn't sleep. smiled... all night long.. =)

The thing here isn't about a "he" or a "she", but rather the "act". Someone who appreciated & treasured a little simple gift from me, tat he/she kept it by his/her side all the time, in his very own personal space - WALLET!

I couldn't be more touched. :')
