The sisters surprised me!

My girlfriend's sisters or my Chinese sisters (as I refer to them), really surprised me! I had the plan to buy the Nokia E66, I just waited for the euro exchange rate to rise a bit, before I change to Malaysian ringgit. Since december 2008, the euro got weaker comparing to the Malaysian ringgit for about 10%, so things became 10% more expensive for me. So the last weeks I was paying attention to the exchange rate on daily basis, plus I tried to find a good bargain for my Nokia.

My girlfriend's father likes handphones, likes to discuss the prices and other things. So last time he brought me to one shop near by the house, where they showed me this Nokia E66, the price was the cheapest of all previous ones. So after that, he got an idea for a farewell present for me. He told his daughters, who apparently started to collect money and bought the Nokia for me. In 4 days I will fly home, so basically yesterday I wanted to buy the Nokia myself. But suddenly the father comes in our room, passes me the Nokia and goes. I was so shocked! I was thinking, why he bought already, I haven't changed the money yet, how much did it cost and everything - I was confused! Then my girlfriend told me how they all treated me. Wow! I really didn't expect. And I was very shy and humble. I went to all of them individually and said thank you. My girlfriend said, they all liked me and they wanted to give me like a farewell present and the birthday present all together, since my birthday is in 1 month. I must say, they all grew even fonder to me. I will miss them when I go back. I hope I can see them soon. So... thank you again, da jie, er jie, san jie, ah Juan, ah Ling, ah Wen and xiao mei for surprising me that much. Best of luck to all of you.
