Most meaningful gift. hmmm.. this is a tough one.
I don't really celebrate anything but every year I will get something for myself as an "appreciation" of being good. (yes I have habit of praising myself. lol)
The most meaningful gift for myself is when I bought my first flight ticket during graduation, flying to Hong Kong for a solo holiday. I had never travelled oversea by flight before that, I didn't really have extra money to do so because I am not from a rich family and didn't really have spare money to "have holiday" at all. For me, the flight ticket was not just a graduation gift for finishing my bachelor degree, but also a gift of being an independent girl who finally able to redeem her freedom to do things that she wants. I had an amazing trip in HK and since then I cannot stop going for more trips, but I never leave my family here for too long. I take care of them as a real independent girl and I am proud of myself for able to do what I want. Therefore, I think that was the best gift I received, ever!

Hello!

What a coincidence, the most meaningful gift that I have ever received in my life is a trip too. I was 21st years old that year and I have a RM 10k saving in my bank account, like finally. When most of the people are celebrating their big 21st birthday by having fine dining at top notch restaurant and buying branded goods for themselves, I used all of my saving to go for a 3-months-backpacker's trip in Taiwan, all on my own. During my semester break, I went to Taiwan alone with my backpack and simple luggage. I walked to different places, I stopped by at streets randomly and I met new friends in backpacker hostels. It was an amazing experience because I was an obedient girl with excellent academic results - the typical over-protected smart girl. Thus, I wanted to try something different and make a breakthrough in my life when I finally turned into 21. I was thankful that my parents approved my decision because a 3-months-journey in a foreign country is seriously no joke, not mentioning that I was alone there. My 21st year old present to myself was really meaningful to me and I'm glad that I gifted myself a memorable and unforgettable journey.

Thank you so much for having this awesome giveaway.

I do cheerish every gift given to me and I really feel special about all the gifts I get. However, the most meaningful gift of all is a random gift given by my besties without any special occasion. I believe it is expected to get gifts from your loved ones on your special day. But random gifts always makes me goes 'awwwwwww'. I once started to collect makeup and have a mini collection of it. However, I do not have any proper storage for my makeup. On one fine day, my friend surprised me by knocking my room and gave me a handmade makeup pouch to store my mini collection. I am so touched it bring tears out of me. I also cheerish every single drawings they gave to me. Both of them are crafty and all creative and full of imagination. They will write and draw using watercolour and snail mail it to my house. Who uses snail mail nowadays right? I am so blessed to have them as my friend and I will always love them unconditionally.

My most meaningful gift was and still probably is the camera my dad gave me for a birthday a few years ago. It's meaningful because we use it to capture our precious memories for the past few years. It's seen me through birthdays and my graduation and travels. Not only do I get pleasure out of it, but my family and friends do too. Those pictures will cherished forever.

I may not be a Christian but I strongly believe in the existant of God. I have been blessed too many times and with so many close call, it is surprising that I can make it til today. I nearly lost my Right Leg at age 2 due to a fracture turned infection. Although so many doctors have confirmed there was no hope in saving it, I finally met my saviour in a Government hospital. I am counting my lucky star for the high fever that doesn't cause me any permanent head damage, drowning that did not take my life, breast lump at age 15 that doesn't turn malignant, dengue fever that was quite serious but doesn't require an Critical Care and a car accident that left me almost unscratch. For all these, I am returning the good deed by working as a nurse. Yes, one incident during work may have left me unable to pursue my dreams but I am thankful that I am still able to feed my family. Most importantly, I must thank my mother for her unconditional love. Her perserverance in facing challenges made me the strong person I am today. I want to say be thankful for what you have today and look at things optimistically. Your life will be different.
