    Presents Galore Pt 2 !!!

    Stamped: 11:15 AM

    Finally received the parcel my family sent me today! Seems like I always have problems when it comes to Dutch administration. The 1st day the parcel arrived (Tuesday), I was not in. So I received a coupon in my mailbox saying that I was not present and they will deliver it the next day. I won't be in my hostel the next day too so I called them and changed the address to Craig's as I will likely to be there. On Wed I waited the whole day, no package. Called them and they told me that they delivered it but it was declined by receiver! Apparently they sent to the neighbour's door as the house is split into 2 and there are 2 doors with the same number (more Dutch weirdness). Naturally the neighbour turned it down since it wasn't his.

    Then the story got more absurd. I called them on Wednesday night and the operator told me the parcel was scheduled to be shipped back to Singapore (cuz declined by recipient)! I screamed at them and told them that there was just a simple confusion and made them deliver it. Finally today I got it (Friday freeday, stay in hostel to wait for it to come!).


    I have a red ugly dog! Haha... Kewl stuff! And a new Creative Muvo 512mb MP3 player. So happy! The MP3 player i brought here was busted. Life is going to be better with music on the roads!!! Thanks MZ and Father and everyone who remembered (especially HH who wrote a song! Hmmm... trying to figure out how to blog it. It's a hilarious song about his delusions of himself being my top 2 friend!)

    Below is a mini flyer to publicize the public crit for our dear friend Olaf, a local student who helped us international students alot (think of him as a Dutch Minghui). It's his graduation crit, and his friends and family will all be there to listen to his final presentation. Way cool. Too bad we can't be around as we will be heading for London on that day. Well, here's wishing you all the best Olaf! I've seen the design. Won't give anything less than an A+++!
