I'VE GOT MAIL

I very rarely get any parcel in the mailbox as I don't shop online. Today however was my lucky day. A [Poslaju] package finally arrived at the office. I was expecting this as I was already informed of the delivery by the sender the week before. The mail was from a friend from UPM TESL class of 1993.

Thanks Puan Zanariah Abdul Shukor for the Argan Oil and the souvenirs. Your kind thought and generosity are very much appreciated. 

THE SURPRISE THAT ARRIVED AT MY DOORSTEPS

Surprises only happen once in a blue moon. And a surprise arrived at my doorsteps today. I was having my afternoon nap when someone was shouting "Assalamualaikum" loudly outside and it was the Poslaju courier guy. 

I would definitely have to thank Puan Hafizah Mohd. Nor, an ex-Budiman classmate of SMS Muar, for taking the trouble to post the candies from Saudi Arabia to me. She is back in Malaysia for the Eid I suppose. May Allah repay your kind and generous deed in this month of holy Ramadhan, and I do believe kindness begets kindness. And thanks for the Eid card too.

MY BIRTHDAY PRESENT ARRIVED, AFTER ALMOST TWO WEEKS

Once in a while, unexpected thing could happen to you. I received my birthday present via Poslaju (express courier), two weeks after the actual date. I am not complaining though and I am considering myself lucky, not just to receive a surprising present via mail, but the most important thing, to have a kind and thoughtful friend.

I would personally thank my old friend, Puan Janariah Othman, for sending me the parcel all the way from Kuala Lumpur. Only Allah may repay your kindness.
