The worlds greatest...

I got home last night after what seemed like an extremely long day…walked though the front door…chucked my bag and books on the floor…walked into the kitchen to the bench…sorted through all the junk mail that had come through and low-and-behold…NOOO…it couldn’t be…a parcel collection card for…ME??!! From whom? Where can I pick it up from? When? What? It arrived on Sunday? But they don’t do postal on Sundays…hmmm…there must be some mistake…

I walked around the house showing mum and dad, trying to figure out what had come for me…its not like I was expecting anything…oh actually…maybe…just maybe…could it be? Ben???

Ben called me at the beginning of last week – Monday – exactly ONE week ago…hmm…asking me about polo sizes…did I want a purple jumper? A yellow polo? Maybe a pink jumper? Can I get on the net?

No! I can’t get on the net!! I’m walkin out the door on my way to uni to hand in an assignment – very tempting but sorry - I’m already late…


Ok…so after messaging back and forth for over half an hour, he wrote me an e-mail the next day saying “Sorry, I didn’t get you anything. The shop was closing in 20 minutes.” I was like what the? 20 minutes? I could have easily bought something in 20 minutes! Haha…but that’s me!

Anyway, I kinda forgot all about it…until last night…when I was trying to figure out what the parcel could be. I mentioned this whole “polo” saga to my mum, who wisely told me “not to get my hopes up”…

…a very LLLOOONNNGGGG and sleepless night….


Well – I just got home from the post office and…..drum roll…the package is from Ben! One look at the envelope and I know!! The writing…the “thanks Mr. Postman”…the parcel written out to “Liz/Jib Ng”…

Ben – you’re the worlds greatest!! You’ve made like my whole week! Still can’t believe you did it – very cool!! Hehe Missing you!!
