My airflown Easter egg and bunny set

Finally received the parcel that JJ sent me last Monday (ok I now know it takes one week to send from Brissy to Sg). I knew it was going to be a Easter egg. JJ told me it took her 30 mins to finally make up her mind. Can tell the wide range of Easter eggs they have down under (and I should know, I spent the last 3 there). The suspense was what brand it was (JJ wanted me to have a surprise there). Well, what really did surprise me was that now only did she send me an egg, she sent me many many tiny eggs, one medium sized egg and also a bunny (it comes in a set lah) that has a bell hung on its neck on a ribbon. Its really nice looking as you can tell from the pic (if it does not, blame it on my camera skills). Thanks JJ for sending me this. Its nice knowing I still have friends back there who remembers me and also do not mind to spend the money, time and effort to let me know that I still exist in their lifes. Also, I guess JJ spend almost half the cost of the egg on the postage as well. JJ, I think the bulk of the weight comes from the box. The whole thing weight almost 1kg (can't believe it). Okie now to meet EC to pass her her set, while I enjoy my chocolates. Thanks once again, JJ. See you are still the best hsemate ever!

The whole package.



Its airmailed from Australia, see the cost of postage on the left, the cost of the gift at the bottom left and also its addressed to me. Prove that I didn't fake this.


And heres the finally thing. Cute isn't it?

The new arrival to our lab: Baby Lele

Theres a new arrival to my lab. One of my colleague has finally given birth. After 9 months of watching Lele (her pet name) getting bigger in Xugang's tummy, shes finally a whole person out in the same world as us. Guess Lele would have gotten used to our voices, what with us sitting just around Xugang everyday and chattering as we work. Lele is such a cute little bundle of joy. She looks so cute and like an angel when shes sleeping, but can also see her peeping at Sean when hes taking her pic. Well, enough said, heres the pics.
