A big surprise

Last year was a really unlucky year for me. I carelessly lost my mobilephone in the taxi and when I phoned the taxi driver it was already taken by somebody. Because of the concern for my safety, my mum bought me a new one though,she was a bit angry. Only two months later, my ipod touch which was in my pocket was stolen when I was standing at the entrance of the subway station. Again, my parents bought me a new one because I needed to use it as a dictionary to look up new words.

However, my bad luck didn't end. I went to my sister's home to see her new-born baby three weeks before my birthday. Before I arrived at my sister's home, I went to the convenience store to buy some snack food for their daughter, but again my cellphone was taken away when I was lining up in front of the cashier. What even worse was that I didn't realize my phone was stolen until I went back to my home. When I found it wasn't there in my pocket, I phoned my mobilephone which was already shut down by someone else as quickly as I can. This really made my parents annoyed, especially my dad. That was the time when my parents were thinking of sending me abroad, and the biggest concern my dad had was my safety. My lost phones and ipod touch made my parents really worried about me because of my carelessness. Therefore, they decided to not to buy me a new phone as a way of punishment.

However., 3 weeks later, when I came back home from school, my dad led me to my room. I was surprise to see a new cellphone placed on the desk in a lovely box. I asked my dad with a unbelievable tone:' You said that you won't buy me a new phone until I'm not such incautious.''But today is your birthday which is different for you and for us.' answered my dad.

The new cellphone I received last year is the most surprising birthday gift I've ever had. Not because I want a new one, but because of my dad's reply when I asked him why he bought me a cellphone. Although last year was a really unlucky and tough year for me I still got a big surprise by the end of the year.
