2 Mandarin Oranges From Maldivians

Afternoon class, was boring rather sleepy *yawn


I saw my Maldivian classmates came into class late, with big bags plastic. With my intelligence and my logical sense, I can tell its 2 boxes of Mandarin Oranges, you know the one we usually eat during Chinese New Year. So I myself thought they bought for their friends or neighbors.

Break time, I came back from toilet and saw them talking something. My curiosity leads me the way, approached to them and asked:

Me: "Hey guys, you all love Mandarin Orange?"
Yamani: "Yeah"
Me: "Wow, you got 2 boxes, are those for you?"
Yamani: "No, its for you guys, all the classmates"
Me: "Huh ARE YOU SERIOUS?"

Okay, at first I thought it was just a joke. Just right before we call it a day, they came to front and greet us "Happy New Year" with from the bottom of their hearts, then distribute 2 Mandarin Oranges to each of us. I was like so touched, its not always you see classmates being so .... so ..... ah I don't know what word can be described, nice? Nice knowing that they were being so considerate, by giving us 2 Mandarin Oranges, which means bring good fortune in new year.

Talking bout they being nice, its been so fun to have Maldivians in our class, cherish the moment, and never let the fun goes away during classes. Apparently it is their study culture, they sing, they dance, and they steal things study (thinking of Jason Mraz - I'm Yours =p). Friendliness has changed and widen my perspective towards international study, I see happiness shining brightly from them =D

I myself flowing Chinese blood inside of my body, always only think of myself and almost neglected the meaning of sharing caring. We as a Chinese has not do any thing but the Maldivians, they do not celebrate CNY but still they are adapting to our culture.

Okay this is no any advertorial or others intention. I'm doing this just because I appreciated to have such nice friends like them.


I love you guys so much that I can't tell more =D
