A pleasant surprise

Posted by May on Monday, June 07, 2010

So, I got woken up at 12p.m today (Yes, I was still fast sleeping!) by my mum to inform me that 3 people from Murdoch were at the front door looking for me. As I approached the front door thinking I was in some sort of trouble, I realized I looked like a total mess - as if I just got out of a really bad break up. But nevertheless, I approached the front door only to see 3 faces smiling back at me and as one handed me a bunch of lollies, the other told me, 'this is to help you cope with the exam stress - and I'm sorry if we might have woken you up'.

I might not have been in uber stress mode (as I was obviously sleeping till the wee hours of the afternoon!) even though I have barely started studying for my exam scheduled to take place tomorrow, but just the thought of them driving all the way down, looking for my address just to hand me a bunch of lollies, I thought that was really sweet of them. And honestly, whatever youth group that was, I would definitely be keen to be a part of it - I want to make people's day like how you guys made mine.

And, the best part is that they got my address and contact details on Murdoch orientation day when I signed up for pretty much every religious catholic/christian group I saw, but besides MUCC.. I didn't even bother attending any other events hosted by the rest of the groups. Despite the fact that I never once attended any of their events, I was still remembered.

I think this came at an awesome time. I think I've been so down this past few days, I've been having loads on my mind and I have got to the stage I honestly don't know what to do. I don't even want to talk about it, or think about it - I don't want anyone to mention anything about it. And despite all this, I think I've been lacking some form of 'love'. But, receiving a bundle of lollies from strangers, people who I have never met before and most probably have never met me before in their lives, how could I not feel loved?

It wasn't the bunch of lollies that made my day, but it was their effort to drive all the way down to CV for someone they had no idea who it was or how they looked like that really made my day.

So, thank you.. MM Multifaith Worship Center!

I really appreciate it!!

Your LGMH. (Love gives me hope)
