THE BEST PRESENT I RECEIVED

       Birthdays have never seem to be a big deal to me since young, as my birthdays always falls near or on exam period, when everyone is busy preparing for exams. Not only my friends,but also my family, never have the habit of celebrating birthdays because according to my father, it is a waste of money and time.
       Friends tend to forget my birthday as it falls on such a non appealing day. Hence I always receive      lesser presents than everyone else. In contrast,  my mother, whom of all people, will never forget my birthdays. She always prepares a table of my scrumptious food to celebrate it with me. Therefore , that was the only thing I look forward to during birthadays,and I am always very grateful to her.
       On Friday,  I finally turned twenty two.I did not expect any big surprises or organise any big party , but went to school as usual. In the evening, my friends called me out for dinner, which never have I expected that they would treat me to an expensive seafood restaurant called 'Jumbo'. I had my fill of black pepper crab and salted egg prawns that night , which I have craved for months. My friends not only helped me to satisfy my stomach but also my cravings. Therefore, I was very thankful to my friends for not only remembering my birthday, but also bought me such an expensive dinner. This have been my best present I have received in 2013.
