Look what we got when we reached home!
We were so pleasantly surprised by some parcels that awaited us when we got back from California.
One was from MexGrocer and Law and Mag sent it!!! Ooooh... my favourite Milo drink and chocolate bar. 2 tins!!! hooray... Thank you so much for satisfying my cravings... Smart huh, to order from MexGrocer, must say you are very resourceful!
The next one was from Mary, Zhiyang and little Charlene. Mary and Zhiyang are ds1 and ds2 gan1ma1 and gan1die1 respectively. They've always loved our kids as much as their own too. And in Charlene, I have the daughter I always wanted too. :-) Me and dh are CHarlene's "godparents" too. (No spiritual meaning attached)
Though I knew they'd send something for Titus' birthday, I did not expect such a large parcel and that the postage will cost S$76++!! Super touched all over again, there were Milo sachets too, 2 whole packets. I can start making Milo Godzillas without fear now, my supply is enough for that! haha
Then with CNY coming and absolutely nothing festive around here, we were glad for the preserved prunes, dried mangoes and rabbit milk sweets!!! I didn't realise how much we missed the dried mangoes and sweets till we saw them.
ds1 opened his present first while ds2 had to wait for his birthday in March to open his. ds1 was squealing and screaming when he saw what it was. really a pity I didn't manage to capture his reaction. Angeling, it was like when he got your excavator present last yr, that kind of excitement.
And he posed for this photo himself. haha. It was a spidey with an ATV that can spin around. He loves the figurine and the car. He doesn't have one so it's his first!
Then there was another large parcel from my sister, bro-in-law and parents too. This was also cost so much to send, S$92++. Really very expensive...
For this box, I will not go into the details of everything that's inside... cos it contains personal clothing and other items too. haha. Some stuff we need and forgot to bring, and others are new stuff, presents for kids' birthdays and CNY goodies.
ds1 got puzzles and DVDs/ VCDs, ds2 got the same but different types. I got more Milo, haha, really can feast now! And sour prunes too, bak kwa (dunno can mention or not...), dried cuttlefish fillet. I got 2 new tops from Sense chosen by my sis... One's in red, so I can wear on CNY day, hee.
Then we had registered mail from Angeling, Patrick, Minxi and Minli! Minxi drew a card for Titus and they gave him a Mozart DVD. both ds1 and ds2 have watched it already! and Richard Scarry's 1-2-3 counting VCD. Angeling also passed me some bak kwa at the airport when we were leaving and I still have some left. :-)
Thank you so much, everyone, we are overwhelmed and speechless. So touched.
We really appreciate all those who kept us in your prayers, miss us and often think of us too. We want to tell you we also do!
I have pasted pics of all of you on my walls. Show you in a future post soon!
rainbows every day, do not worry for the morrow
