Gifts From Abroad

Over the past week, I've been getting stuff from abroad. Well, I did ask for them and was willing to pay my friends back for it, but instead, they just didn't want the payment and gave me as gifts.

Firstly, I got a pack of 12s and 2 King Size bars of Cherry Ripe all the way from Australia courtesy of Carrie. So what so special with these sinful (and addictive) chocolates? Well, first of all, you can only get them in Australia (and New Zealand I think). And I heard Candy Empire in Singapore is the only place in the whole of Singapore that sells them too (can anyone verify this?). Anyway, imagine cherries + coconut covered with dark bitter chocolate! It might not be everyone's cup of tea, but hey...I LOVE EM!

Sinful treats!

Next, Sylvia got me a Guess necklace all the way from the States which I really wanted badly ever since I first saw it online. I did try to buy it online, problem was, Guess.com doesn't seem to accept Malaysian credit cards as part of their online transactions. I did also try to include Sylvia's address in Boston but to no avail. I even tried to search for it in Guess stores in both Singapore and Bangkok but they do not carry that design. So I thought, it was just not meant to be. So you could imagine my surprise when I met Sylvia up yesterday and she gave me the necklace!! You all must be wondering what so nice about this necklace right? Well, for starters, it's suppose to be a good luck charm. The necklace is made up of 4 elements - a crucifix, a hand of prayer medallion, a medallion of St. Francis and an Irish good luck coin with a cross. Neat eh? Well, after getting it, I tried to search for it on the Guess website for a picture and guess what?...It's not there anymore...which makes it even more unique and precious to me now! This is what the necklace looks like...

Don't you think it's nice?

Thank you Carrie and Sylvia! You both really made my week =)
