So, I did some reflection when I was stuck in the jam for 1 whole hour. I mean, what more can you do in the car right? Besides, my phone died so I guess it was a pretty boring ride home.. Anyways, I thought through many things that happened today and I dare say that I am eternally grateful and blessed by the people around me. Okay, maybe saying that I am grateful and blessed is an understatement.. Anyhoo, let me tell you why!
The junior prefects organised the Prefects' Farewell for all the Form 3 and 5 prefects to appreciate all the seniors' hard work throughout these two years. It was held at Sunway Putra Hotel, just 2 stations away from our school. As we journeyed to the place, I was just thinking how time actually passed by so quickly. Just three years ago, I was a junior prefect and here I am, on my way to my very own last Prefects' Farewell! Where did all those three years go?! It was just as if it was yesterday I got elected as a prefect. Long story short, the farewell was great and it was indeed a memorable one.
On the way home, I was in the car opening up the presents I got from my little juniors and at that instant, I felt really touched by the effort they had put in into these small yet thoughtful gifts. Reading their notes just made me feel like I have achieved my goal in my whole prefect journey, and that was to inspire and motivate them. I'm a really bubbly person (not bragging or anything (:), so I guess brightening up their days during duties was already satisfying enough. I wouldn't say that I was the best prefect (because obviously the rest out there were A plus), but I can say that I did my very best. I also felt a little guilty for not putting in a little effort into the gifts and notes because I was too caught up with the heavy workload, but I'll definitely make it up to them. I was thinking of bringing them out for lunch after SPM, whaddya think girls? (:
Next thing that touched my heart deeply! My vice captain bought me a farewell gift. I did not expect it at all because normally during our farewells, we exchange gifts between the seniors and juniors. Buying gifts for your "co-workers" were not so "normal" in our farewells. She attached the gift with a really sweet note and I was so happy by just reading the first sentence, "Thank you for being my friend in prefects." That led me to always keep in mind that we should all be friendly to everyone around us, regardless of their age, gender, personalities etc.
Last thing I felt really grateful for. I was craving for these raisin biscuits I used to indulge in when I was little and I told this person about it. She straight away told me that she would buy them and bring it to school the next day. True enough, she kept to her word and bought the biscuits! To top that off, she bought an extra box of different biscuits. Okay, you might be thinking right now, "What?! They're just biscuits..", but it's actually these little things that I'm truly thankful for.
All these people that are placed in my life are truly God's blessings. I'm so thankful for the Lord for putting them into my life, making me realise that I should always be humble and look out for the people around me. Showing them the love that they should deserve, and also to care for them at all times.
I hope you enjoyed this post and got something out of it! Cheers!
