Last night I got a belated gift from my mum…
A Tamagochi aka A Digital Pet…
Well there’s a story behind it that makes me feel so touched upon receiving it…
Back in 1990′s…
(Gosh I feel so old…)
When I was in primary sch…
Tamagochi was the in thing among us kids…
I wish to have one too…
But I know that my parents can’t afford it…
So since I’m a Daddy’s Girl…
I asked my dad for one…
He promised to buy me one if only I pass my entire subject in final year…
I was so eager & excited to get my hands on one of those…
I study hard in order to pass my examinations
Even thou I know that by the time my dad got me one of those Tamagochi…
It might not be the in thing anymore…
After months of hard work…
I produce him the results…
I pass all my subjects with flying colours…
And when I asked hm to fulfill his promise…
This is what he said to me…
“I don’t think there is a need for you to have one…
It’ll distract you from studying in the future…”
I was so disappointed and just kept quiet…
Crying in my heart…
Continue to study hard & hoping that one day he’ll buy it for me…
At times I still mention on this incident…
As I grow up…
I tell myself…
“Whatever you want… you buy it on your own…”
And seriously for my 22nd birthday…
I never expect my mum to remember how much I worked so hard
&
got me one Tamagochi…
So here it is…
My sweet little one…
Thanks mum!!!
I’ll give you a CNY hong bao soon…
