So My Brother Sent Me Something from the USA

I’ve been anticipating to receive this package from my brother from months now.  I am still anticipating. 

It’s actually supplements for my acne-ridden face.  I try not to be vain but it sucks sometimes going around with huge zits blooming from my clogged pores.  While waiting, I got a little anxious.  I wasn’t sure how the Malaysian customs treat packages as such.  I did a little online search on how they handled these matters and came accross Kennysia’s blog entry.  He had some supplements + vits delivered to him from the States and some of the items he purchased were confiscated. 

My brother had it sent via track-able mail.  So we were able to keep an eye on the delivery.  This Monday it cleared customs: that can mean either they found the supplements safe or they stole them for personal use and sent me a letter saying that these supplements are illegal you’ll have to keep your acne forever and ever… hehehe

So I decided to call the post office in KK (that’s where our mail goes) and inquire about this package of mine.  A lady answered my call and I explained to her who I was and what I wanted from them.  She wasn’t able to catch my name – I have no idea why.  I told her the tracking number and she said she’ll check and she had me hold on to the line.  So I held and held.  She finally came back and said the package arrived on the 10th and that there should be a slip for me to use to retrieve the parcel.  I explained to her that I checked my mailbox yesterday and there was no such slips.  Only a Reader’s Digest promotion thingy and some other gov. stuff for my mom!!! She kept insisting that the slip is there and I kept persisting that I didn’t see any.  Btw, she asked me earlier when my bro sent the package and I said probably a month ago… she gladly adds after finding the package that it was sent on the 30th of Jan.  So what?!?!?  Once it has reached the post office they should immediately issue the slip.  When it was sent shouldn’t be THE ISSUE at all.

So she asked me to drop by Counter 1 with my IC.  We’ll see how things go from there.

spinning in my head

It's Saturday night/Sunday morning. I should be asleep right now but weekends only happen on weekends. This Sabbath was quite interesting. The church pastor will be talking about Sabbath-keeping throughout the Sabbaths of this month. He mentioned the necessity of saying "No!" to requests. That's a skill I have yet to master. Another point he brought up was that the Sabbath is meant for communion with friends, family, and God. Well, some people will have to take that seriously. A few updates for this week, I think you know that I have rearranged the room, and I am on the verge of buying some traditional-Thai looking furniture/items to fill the room up. Don't ask me why I'm buying these things when I'm close to leaving. Yes, I've started using this traditional face wash and cream. Many of my friends are using it and it has proven worth trying. Look at the blue!! What's in the lamp? What's in the book? What are you looking at? Zits galore. Pls pe...

BAREFOOTERS love DUMPLINGS

Yes, that’s the name of the singing group I’m in.  Me and a bunch of friends started singing a couple of years back.  Members have gone and come… gosh don’t get me started I WANT TO CRY…sobs. Here are some pictures of practices we have.  We believe in having food and fun during practice time.  You know how vocalists emphasize the activeness of bridge between our eyes during singing and vocalization/warm-ups. We, instead of looking silly with crazy eyes while singing, opt for another type of stimulant… DONE prior to practice.  DUMPLINGS!!!! I’m so going to miss these beautiful people.

i want to go to these places in january

Pulau Sapi Pulau Manukan Must visit Islands!!! I call myself a Sabahan but I have not really explored Sabah. ptuii....
