A gift for a friend
You either love it or hate it.
Or maybe its a love-hate relationship.
Its funny how it can be accepted and tolerated easily in some areas while it is banned in some and to an extreme... some describe it as "terrible, rotten-smelling fruit". Yes, you know who I am talking about. The king of all fruits. I have been transporting durians between home and work. I survived the dizzying pungent smell but nothing rotten about it. I could not say that I love it as I have to bear with it during my more than half an hour drive to work.
"One of these days, I will give you a durian or two!" I said to a friend. You could interpret this as a threatening statement right? hahaha imagine using the fruit as a weapon... my brother placed a small durian (a very small one) on a container in our storeroom. I accidentally shoved the container too hard that the durian fell on my foot!
One of my friends recently celebrated her birthday. A close friend. Umm... one of our best friends. At that time, I was still raking my brain trying to come up with a present. In the end, I stick a ribbon to several durians and delivered it to her home... it was her birthday gift. She responded that she could not think of anything unique or strange to give me as a birthday present in return. Well, truthfully a life-long friendship that grows with age is the best present that one could ever wish for.
A friend that stands by you, through thick and thin. A friend that does not judge but offered advice and piece or peace of mind. You seldom contacted yet when you get to meet, it was like they never left, who is always there even if you are far apart. Some friends seemed to be always fighting, never see eye to eye on even the most trivial matter and yet they remain friends. Its baffling and only understood between themselves. They have their own reasons. It is their unique kind of friendship and who are we to judge?
