Of old photos and thoughts...

I checked mail today and found a Facebook notification of an acquaintance tagging me on a photo.. o_O

I don't remember having taken any photo with him before... Nonetheless, I clicked on it and saw the title of the photo album.. Ah! PJ's birthday celebration in Year 1- how embarassing


So tempted to remove the tag.. But that would not be nice to that acquaintance.. But it's not even a likeable acquaintance in the first place! HaHa.. =P


Then I saw another old photo accidentally added by JC friend.. although both photos have the same embarassing feel about them, I was actually tempted to Tag this photo myself.. HaHa :)


Anyway, was looking at the Multiply updates and saw this blog post about Receiving gifts written by a coursemate. In it, he mentioned that Japanese will receive gifts given to them without declining or trying to decline first and thank the giver happily. Is it just Japanese culture? Or is it just Chinese culture to pretend to decline the gift although in their hearts, they actually are very happy to receive the gift?

Well, this blog post caught my attention because I am not the kind to pretend to decline first or I don't know how to pretend... I did not think it was a big deal until a friend asked me, "Why did you just receive the gift I gave you without erm declining it first?"

Erm.. I know my friend is rather funny in asking me such question so frankly..


My answer,"I don't like the pushing back and forth thingy. If you bought the gift for me means you intended to give it to me. So, I shall receive and Thank you!"

Right?


And I am sincerely thankful for the gifts! :)
