Black to White

While I was busy sulking and feeling sorry for myself, our nanny happily announced that the freight people have arrived. At first I thought she was joking. *cue* me being cautious and weary and starting to get used to disappointments. Turned out she was right.

I wanted to jump with glee, but stopped before the euphoria overpowered me as I have been warned that the boxes had been opened. True to their words, at least for this one, 2 of the boxes did not arrive in their original ones. 3 boxes were severely damaged, the contents trying to burst out of the sellotaped edges.

On the bright side all contents seem intact in terms of quantity. Except for 2 packs of my first-born's long awaited powdered milk and our 2 sacks of rice which had suspicious looking holes that had been gnawed through. Let's not even go there. *shudder*

I am however, happy to report that I now have other items of clothing to wear (to work and at leisure) other than my 4 (Monday through to Thursday; Friday is baju-kurung day) Polo shirts.

Food stock also arrived aplenty. But best of all 6 bottles' worth of T.G. Kiat rose syrup. Hoo-rah!

Of course the kids' stock of diapers and milk count too.

Now that our air freight has finally come, it's time to chase for our sea freight. Back to the drawing board!
