a present: “the alchemist”

2006: a friend in singapore sent me a present with a friend in cambodia. i never took my time to fetch that present at all for a year. my friend in cambodia is busy with her business and delivered a baby. i just focused on my job. i just knew that there’s a present waiting for me.

2007: the friend in singapore visited cambodia. i have chance to meet her and the other friend in cambodia. the friend in cambodia showed me the present. i took it. i opened it. i saw it. a yellow cover book – small n light. i felt like it. the title was “the alchemist”.

i came home and checked my dictionary to find the definition of “alchemist”. the meaning was not attractive to me. i then started reading because it is small and only more than a hundred pages.

i finished it in a total of several hours (within three days). after reading, i thought that “the alchemist” had told me why the book came to me in a year after it was sent to me.

i hope you too could read it.
