A Pleasant Suprise from Germany

I had a pleasant suprise all the way from Germany today! Steffen sent me a christmas present! Yeah, it might be a really belated one but it's really the thought that counts, isn't it?

There were a few things inside that small box and each one of it did not fail to touch my heart.

The first one that caught my eye was the box of board game I had played with his family. The title is (behold) "People do not piss me off!" Haha, what an interesting name isn't it? Actually it is the german version of a common board game we normally called "Aeroplane". You know which one i'm talking about?

Then there was this box of chocolate that we used to munch throughout the 5 hour car journeybetween Regensburg and his hometown. They really brought back lots of fun memories..

And there's this small box of Expresso Chocolate!!!! I was SO amazed when i first tried it. There's REAL BITTER EXPRESSO COFFEE inside the chocolate! Perfect for a coffee lover! Bitter coffee on the inside, sweet Ferrero Rochio chocolate on the outside. Ooooooh~~ Heaven on Earth...... Anyway, story behind this chocolate- I was looking for it high and low the day before i flew back to Singapore but it was out of stock! Was so disappointed. It cant be found in Singapore rite... anyone seen it somewhere before? Please do tell me yar!!! =)

Last but not least..... christmas cards!! One of them were written by his family! The touching lines from his parents really touched my heart....

It is difficult for friends staying so far apart to stay in contact. I am glad that I've still got a couple of friends back in Germany who still remember me. We are often sucked into the whirlpool of work and studies, and that gives us easy excuses to not put in the extra efforts to update each other about their lives. But all it takes is just a short email to say hi once in a while, or an e-card to brighten each other's day. Agree?

Anyway, just a couple of thought about friendship =)

But more importantly, Thank You Steffen!! =)

I lost my Wallet...

AGAIN ?????!?!

Yes..... again.
*Gen suddenly shrinks into a 1 cm tall dwarf and hides under the keyboard in shame*

Why Gen, why are you so careless?
Beats me too...

But this careless gene has been in me since the first day of my life.
Heard from my mum that I tend to bump straight into the wall when i was still a toddler (well, partially because of my eyesight i guess?), or I could simply forget to do my homework in my primary school days (it was so often that my form teacher wrote a letter to my parents saying that i got serious attitude problem for not wanting to do his homework. I'm innocent!! ), or a more recent case, to forget to do an exam question.

Now, I've set a new record.
You have to agree that losing a handphone once and a wallet twice within half a year is by no means an ordinary feat for common folk.

Well Done Gen. You have stunned us once again.
*Clap clap clap clap clap*

Oh yar, my new I/C was inside too.
(Wait!! before you all think that gen has not learnt her lesson yet, please let me explain. I had my i/c inside cos i took my PPCDL theory exam recently, and forgot to keep it back into my drawer after that. Ok, that's pure suey-ness lor!)


BUT....

Thank goodness all is not as bad as I initally had thought actually.
I recieved an email within the same hour I lost my wallet from an Engineering student named Sue telling me that she found my wallet!

Thank you Lord for answering my Prayers!

Okok, from now on I promise....

to be really careful about my wallet, handphone whenever i go to the toilet
to return all the wallets I find ASAP like what Sue did...(not as if I wouldnt have done that last time...?!?)
to remember to keep my i/c into my drawer once I don't need it

I can sleep in peace tonight all thanks to that nice lady....
The world is still beautiful =)

i hope i can keep my promises...
