I blogged about being very excited to receive my belated Christmas present from my two good friends in Malaysia last week. Finally after a week I received the huge box when it was delivered to my door step on New Year day. I was surprised because I did not know the courier service company will actually work on this public holiday. I was so excited about what was inside the box. However when I held it in my hands and shook it a little, I started to worry. Sounded like glass inside and that it is shatter.
Anyway I had to open it sooner or later. And so I tore off the wrapping (which was heavily tapped with scotch tape and I thought it was really ugly). Little did I know there was another inner wrapping. And that was so much nicer! :D
At least I knew the card was intact. I am so excited about what they wrote that I decided to open and read it first. It contained a nice glow-in-the-dark hand-made Christmas card and a letter. And it was such a spoiler when Christina wrote what was inside the box. (Ah! I should have opened the present first. Haha!) So… here was the present!
Two jars of traditional hand-made candies from Sticky in Malaysia. Lee Xiang who was online when I opened the present said they did not know what to buy initially. But she thought candies are very nice gift for Christmas. The sweetest of joy! And I have to finish these lots of sweets within 5 months as the expiry date is on 05/05/2010. Lee Xiang said this shop is a newly opened shop in 1Utama Shopping Centre (I was there before with them!) and that they have not tried the sweet themselves. So when I opened it and tried, very nice! The fruit taste is so strong and it dissolves quickly in the mouth although it looks hard. Then in just 5 minutes, I ate 3 of it. I am afraid I cannot finish them within 5 months before tasting it. But now I guess it will not be a problem!
Now I want to stick the Christmas card on my wall instead of just keeping it in my cupboard because it is so nice! Christina (I believe it was done by her) art work is simply amazing! Previously when I was there with them, the two scrap book pieces she gave me was so nice too that it is now wrapped and displayed in my room too.
“Thanks dear Lee Xiang and darling Christina for the candies! I know you both have spent quite a look considering you both are not very rich and students. I appreciate the thought and present a lot! I miss you both and really look forward to the next meeting with you both! Lots of love!“
