It's true, sometimes Banana & I talk about moving to the houses (actual land houses) nearer to our Management School and I am always put off by the idea that I have to always be home if I'm expecting a parcel.
Banana: But then if you don't have that privilege of always having someone to accept a parcel for you, maybe you won't shop as much!
She does have a point..
Anyways! Basically I always know when I'm supposed to have a parcel. Which to a certain level is always fun, seriously during Christmas season the reception people kept seeing my face, especially towards the last week before my flight home.. (My mum takes full advantage of this service too. The joy she got when I introduced her to ASOS Premium..) But you know what's MORE fun than getting a parcel you're expecting? When you receive an UNEXPECTED parcel! :D
Though truth to be told this does not happen often. Once it happened and it was a significantly large box and I thought my parents were kind enough to give me an unexpected present. I was so happy, until I saw it was a curling iron and I thought ... "Why would they give me curling iron.. WHO would give me curling iron.... OHHH RIGHT! Not mine!".. A friend of mine actually ordered it for herself and I was supposed to bring it back for her.. Pfft. (Yes, I did look for an extra gift inside the box, it was nearing Christmas okay! In the spirit of giving!)
And then another incident happened last January when I got back from Christmas break. I had quite a few parcels waiting for me, some were expected but I had two unexpected ones. And I'm like ":O SOMEBODY LOVES ME?! Omg, I got Christmas presents Raema! Somebody lovesssssssssss me!". Turned out it was a present for my brother that I forgot about and a parcel I sent to a friend that was re-delivered back to me because she did not collect it from the post office -__________________-'
Conclusion: I never get surprise mails. Ever. Nobody loves me. End of story.
So today when Banana came back from the gym and told me that I have a parcel from FedEx, you can bloody well guess I was shocked. Because I have been behaving, I have not bought anything online recently (in the span of one week), what is this international parcel that I got?! (FedEx/DHL = International parcels).
And then I read the slip it said "A4 paper size envelope" and my immediate thought was "This has got to be a document. WHY would anybody send me a document? o.O". See the last time Banana got an envelope like this it was a contract. So I thought "I'm not expecting any contract...... AM I GETTING SUED?! O.O Why would anybody wanna sue me?! What contract did I violate? o.O Somemore internationally........". My heart was beating really fast. (Bare in mind, I've not eaten all day also because I was fasting so I was a little bit loopy).
I went down, collected my parcel, and anxiously opened it when I got back upstairs. Turns out, it was a lovely surprise:
First reaction: I'M NOT GETTING SUED!!!!!!! I'm being thanked! Phewwwwwwwwwwww!
Thank you Sereni & Shentel! Soon I will make a use of this loyalty card ;)
Now ZARA, your turn.
