Beyond blessed

It was the end of a two weeks holiday for all the dental and medicine students in my university on last Sunday, so many of my friends came back from their hometowns. At noon, I received a text from my churchmate, Mandy. She asked if I was free at the time because she bought Sarawak kolok mee for me. I was surprised and happy at the same time but I was out of campus at that moment, so I told her that I would take it from her when I get back in an hour.

This was the kolok mee she bought for me 😍

When I got back to my hostel, I was tired. I ate the kolok mee and went to have a nap. While napping my phone rang, it was Lowell (my batchmate, my badminton partner, and my brothaaa). I picked up.

Me, "hello." in an exhausted tone.
Lowell, "where are you now ah?"
Me, "on my bed😒" (but he couldn't see my facial expression😂)
Lowell, "can you open the door?"
Me, "o.." and I hung up.

Feeling a little grumpy because I was tired and my nap was disturbed, I went to open the door. When I opened the door, he raised his hand with a bag of gifts for me.

I was stunned, and my heart melted, "AWWW thank youuuu💕💕." Inside were two packets of kolok mee, some rambutans and the black seed thingy(it's a fruit that some Sarawakians eat regularly). He smiled at me and said "you're welcome" and left. I felt so touched and so bad at the same time because I was a little grumpy while I was walking towards the door, which, in the end turned my mood upside down😂 I continued my nap after that btw😜

Waking up from my wonderful nap, I got up and started studying as my first continuous assessment is coming up. While studying, I received a text from my churchmate junior, Daniel.

Daniel, "You're in your hostel? I wanna give you kampua(Sarawak famous noodle)."

I was stunned again, he remembered that I randomly told him to buy kampua back before he went back to his hometown(which is also my hometown), but I was just simply saying and never expected him to really help me to buy.

I told him, "yeah I'm in my room." and I asked him how much it was because I wanted to pay him.

He replied, "free."

I was like, wow okay and a little 不好意思 at the same time. I was thinking maybe he was just gonna pass me one small packet of it. After a few seconds he entered my room and handed over 2 BIG PACKETS which contained 5 small packets in each packet to me. At that moment I was utterly shocked and went out of words, I kept saying "Thank you" to him and he left so quickly after that.

I sat down on my chair, texted Daniel and thanked him again and told him that I really appreciate it, and I put down my phone.

That moment, I guess my tears receptors were triggered, thinking, what have I done to deserve all these blessings from so many people around me? I was touched, tears filled my eyes, I thanked God for everything I have, my heart was full. I was so overwhelmed til I've been thinking about all these undeserved blessings for the next few hours and didn't study at all 😭😂

Not only all the above, within the next few hours, another churchmate junior, 万祈, texted me. She told me she that she actually bought kampua for me too, I told her that I've received a lot of kampua's already and told her to share it with some other people who miss home too. I also told her that I really appreciate that I was in her thoughts ☺️

Soon after, another brother in Christ of mine who did not want his name to be mentioned, texted me and asked if I wanted to eat durian but he only had one seed for me. I hesitated because I was sick but he kept manipulating me, "ARE YOU SUREEEE", "ONE LAST CHANCEEEE" etc. and I finally said "FINE WHERE ARE YOU" because I couldn't resist the temptation HAHAHA because I've been craving for durians for a very very long time.

All these blessings reminds me of how much God loves me and I would also like to share the love to the people around me. After all, I'm EVERYTHING in Jesus and nothing in myself.
