I think that getting a present usually makes us feel happy. Last month, on the 24th, Budai, I was very surprised to receive a special gift from one of my former friends whom I haven't kept in touch with for a long time. I got this gift from the boss's office. When I opened the box, I was very surprised and happy. There is some music; this is my favorite one. My present reminds me of my birthday. That present to me is a mini-fridge.
