I’ve never been more proud to have a boyfriend who decided he’ll do a little something for X’mas. Maybe it hit him that his mum and sister have been doing their part for the community and that he should do the same thing, or maybe its the constant conversations we have about community service that have gotten to his head, but really, I believe he always had it in him but he never really knew where to start. But this time he did, and I’m sooo glad he did.
See, when he went to Bangkok with his family this December, he bought five sarongs and gave it to five random poverty-stricken people on the streets, with those little notes pasted on them. What really makes me smile was that he put our names on those notes, so that he gave them on behalf of us. That was very very very thoughtful of him. I don’t know how much those sarongs cost, but it doesn’t matter, because no matter the price, they made those people who received them feel thought of, cared for, and most importantly, this Christmas, they finally feel the spirit of giving.
My boyfriend could be doing this to make his parents happy, maybe to make ME happy, or maybe even to make the Bentley CC (those people he dedicated the notes to) happy, but I reckon that’s the reason why we do certain things in the first place- because we aim to make special people in our lives a little more happier. It doesn’t make his actions any less genuine, in fact, it makes me love him more, because he puts effort and thought into what we really want to see happening in this world.
Khai may be Muslim, but I’ve never been happier that he’s celebrating Christmas with me in a different way. He really made me very happy… now I know, I have him with me, trying to cause many ripples in the waters.
It’s not on private, baby, because I want you to know how proud I am of you. I love you.
