They laughed a lot at the back of the Hall. Was there anything funny?

They are two foreign friends of my friend. They attended the Graduation Ceremony to share happiness with her.

They stared at some girls and made comments on them. They asked why we liked to clap hands all the time. They asked why so many people liked to use digital cameras. And they kept on laughing and talking out loud as if there were only two of them in this place! Everyone in the Hall looked at them, but they didn't care and continued commenting and laughing.

I know you, guys are from the developed world. But it doesn't mean that you look down on others from the developing world. You are not as polite and civilised as you should be.

Why, boys?

Yesterday (11 Nov) was my birthday. I received lots of wishes, gifts and beautiful flowers from my friends. They all sent me messages and phoned me at 0:00. I was moved, indeed.

Well, I am going to tell you what surprised me the most.

Yesterday,the weather was so bad. The rain began in the afternoon and it got heavier in the evening. Some of my friends said to me that they could not come with me. Yeah, the reason was the rain. I must say that I really hate rainy days. And my birthday was a rainy day. So, was it lucky or unlucky?

When I felt very sad, a friend of mine appeared with flowers in her hands. She was soaked to the skin. I am sure I was as happy as King at that moment. Then, my close friends come. We all went to a café to celebrate my birthday there. You know, outside the rain was still heavy.

We happily sang together.

I had thought that nobody would be with me at this special moment, but then, the wonderful thing happened, as you see.

Thank you my best friends. Thank you TIG for sending a nice card. Thank you all!!!
