I have been counting down my days to receive the parcels, but I have not foreseen that my happiness would be doubled up when I received them. There is something about receiving a mail (either a letter or a parcel, just anything) that makes me wanna ride on a unicorn and gallop on the fluffy clouds. Today, I mark, as the first time of me receiving my first parcels. The first parcel was something that I bought from an online boutique called Unique Trend. The second parcel was two bottles of Tsubaki shampoos by Shiseido that I won from Jestinna's giveaway contest.
The first parcel was sent to Kirr's house and minutes after she received the parcel, she rode her bike straight to my house and made a surprise appearance with the huge parcel in her hand. And sometimes, I just think that there are too many coincidences in our life! The second parcel was totally something unexpected as Jestinna had announced the winners for the giveaway for nearly a month now but she was busy with her studies, so she was not able to send the parcels yet but OMG. Guess she managed to deliver the parcels somehow.

The person who was responsible to send the parcel was not able to locate my house, so he phoned me and I guided him to my house from where he was. I was quite confused at the moment as a person texted me a day ago, saying that she could not locate Kirr's house and asked for an alternative address (and I gave her mine). So, I assumed that since Kirr had received the parcel from Unique Trend, there would not be a parcel sent to my home. After we made things clear, the second parcel delivered to my house was actually the Tsubaki products. When the driver / deliver saw Kirr at my house, he was like: "What? Both of you are friends? Adui.. If I know that earlier I would have passed your parcel to your friend too." And he was so friendly and kept thanking us.

The following are some of the items that we have bought together when we browsed through the online boutique at Instagram. We did not contemplate much when we decided to buy the items because we bought these on a whim. Just plain excitement of doing something 'adult', nothing much.

Despite the rush of adrenaline when we received the parcel , we were a little disappointed as the items were slightly different from how it looked in the photos. I ordered a dress, but it was so short that I did not have much choice but to wear it as a blouse. Yeap.. the first 'blouse' that I've ever own. As you can see, it was blatantly obvious that the three of us bought the same shirt in different colours. Mine actually looked the least appealing in the photo but when it arrived, it turned out to be the most fitting and most good-looking one. It looked like a normal shirt in the photo but as a matter of fact, it is a cropped top. Slightly cropped but because of our height, it does not look that cropped on us at all. So we can still wear it on any random days. Plus the material is really soft and comfy - something that you can wear during casual hang out as well as a gathering with a bunch of friends lounging at your house. Quite simple and sleek.
| TSUBAKI Damage Care Shiseido Conditioner & Shampoo |
How I won these amazing products you might ask. Oh and before I start with that, if there is any of my lovely readers who does not know who Jestinna Kuan is, she is an Instagrammer / YouTuber / Blogger / Model / Student at AIMST University (pharmacy). She is Christina Kuan's elder sister. Christina Kuan is an Instagrammer too. And blogger. And the explanation is getting a bit lengthy .__. Yeah basically you guys can check out their blogs if you would like to *just click on their names*
A month back then, she announced that she was having a Tsubaki giveaway contest on Instagram and wrote a post on her blog about this product and all the benefits after using the Damage Repair Tsubaki Shiseido Shampoo + Conditioner. Out of curiosity, I read through her blog post and commented below on why I deserve to be chosen as one of the winners for the giveaway, without having high hopes that I would be chosen. A few weeks later.. BAMMM! She posted the winners that she had picked on Instagram and I turned out to be one of them! WOOHOO! *thanks a lot once again Jestinna* She then asked for our name and address to be emailed to her.
"Damage Care" indicated that it is specifically for dry and brittle hair. If you use the product, you will have "silky smoothness from the roots to the ends" (as stated on the sheet of paper). I have not use it yet, but they smell really good! I'm guessing that it's probably from the Camelia Oil that Jestinna has mentioned in her blog post. Camelia Oil is a rare type of oil that only exists in Japan and China, which led me to believe that this product is no ordinary product and the smell is definitely no ordinary smell.
That's all from me for now. Since this is not something that happens everyday, it would be fun to share the excitement and happiness of receiving something unexpected (or even receiving something expected) with you guys. I love receiving mails, postcards and all those stuff sent through the old school ways because a letter is worth a thousand more than a text nor an email. My mood is greatly elevated today because of these two parcels. Really grateful for the little things that brought great happiness into my life! What about you guys? Do share with me what you guys think about receiving parcels or letters through mails!
