Uplifted

I've been feeling down the past few weeks. At times I wished I was a drinker so I could drown my sorrows in drinks, even for a short time but I can't drink even if my life depended upon it. I remember one time I drank a can of beer, it was just a couple of sips and the next thing I knew, my skin turned red and itched all over! Oh and I started giggling away as well :D I guess I'm allergic to alcoholic drinks! So, drinking as a therapeutic way of forgetting, well it certainly doesn't work me. By the way, out of curiosity, does drinking really help to untangle the mess in our minds??

Anyways yesterday morning, the Poslaju van stopped and honked at the gate. As usual, my younger boy ran out the moment he heard the honking. There in the hands of the postman was a package for me all the way from Austria :) My sis emailed me about it a few weeks back but being depressed and all, I totally forgot about it. I actually asked her to get me some Euro merchandise since Austria was one of the hosts of the tournament.

Thanks so much sis! *Hugs* It really made my day, I loved Toffifee. I gobbled them up in no time... spared a few for the boys of course... hehehe. Behold my bag of Euro goodies!

The package

Euro 2008 mascots ~ The twins, Trix & Flix

Yummy Toffifee!

Euro '08 stickers

Moooo!! The cow

Poncho/Raincoat

All together now

  1. Nessa, glad the package came in time to uplift ur mood. :)

    No, drink sure doesnt drown ur problem, bcos after u wake up from ur drink, u still need to face the problem.....and worse, u get headache and sick too.

  2. Wow, those are cool looking Euro goodies. I'd be happy too if someone sent me any Euro goodies ... hehehe ...

    Hope you're feeling all that much better. And to clear your curiosity, no, the problems still remain after all that mind numbing alcohol gets flushed from your system. The problems will still be there and worse still, you'll have a major hangover to keep your problems company.

    Here's wishing you a great week ahead and to brighter skies ahead :D

  3. OMG OMG OMG, I'm so green with envy!! Those stuff are cute to the max!! Glad it managed to uplift your mood.

    Ya know, I've been in a state of depression these few months too - and like you - I wish I was a drinker too. However, am taking the day one at a time. Hopefully things work out for you too! :)

    Hugs

  13. Maslight ~ The taste is heavenly kan :) I could eat tons of it without feeling any guilt... but it won't be long before my waistline jadi macam dram!

  14. Queen Bee ~ Rasa dia lebih sedap dari yummy. Susah mo explain... ada jual tu di supermarket yang jual imported coklat. If I'm not mistaken, it cost around RM8 or RM9.

  15. Nothing feels better than a little love from the family, right? :) Well, those goodies look absolutely cute and not to mention that Toffifee looking downright scrumptious! hehehe..

    Well, hope you're doing much better today.. we can't hope to feel better immediately in a split second, but as long as today is better than yesterday, that's already a great start! *hugs*

  16. Ms Envy ~ Banned?? I could never say no to Toffiffee la, memang sedap :D

  23. Hi Nessa, why la depressed? These past few weeks have not been smooth sailing for me too. Aside from being sick, overworked and busy all the time, "other" issues made me feel like not drinking, but going for another vakasi instead he he..you know, to forget all my worries! I'm sure ur sister goody bag totally made ur day, so enjoy ur toys! :):):)

  24. That's so sweet of your sis. Bestnya!

    Plus, no don't ever wish you were a drinker. It's fun for a while but when you're puking your eyes off the next day... horror!!

  25. Hi Sis..
    Sorry about this late comment, actually I only read this post in my google reader and actually didn't know the whole story that's why I didn't know that you already got the package only after I emailed you about it the other day (sorry again) and am glad you're feeling better now (perfect timing for the package to arrive to cheer you up - happy to know that!)

    Hope you won't think that i am not thinking of you all there due to my not visiting your blog that often now because that is normal at this time of the year (SUMMER). Rest assured I will be here when it's time to hibernate again - that will be in about 3-4 months from now. LOL (I kid!) Take care and will bring loads of Toffifee then when I go back home.

  26. Flodawn ~ It's always great receiving goodies. Feels just like X'mas! :D

  27. Jessica ~ Yeah, the cow is adorable in that cute shorts he's wearing :) I think it's some kind of Austrian traditional outfit or something.

    Urmmm, actually I'm keeping the toys! My youngest boy did ask to keep one of the twins but mommy is way too kedekut! LOL!

    Oh, you should try Toffifee. Skali try, must want some more... hehehe

  29. Rozella ~ She's the best sis one could ever have. I guess I'm pretty lucky cos I have 4 sisters! :D

    Yup, I'll remain a non-drinker. I don't fancy getting hangovers plus depression at the same time.

  30. Ann ~ Hey sis! :D No worries bah. I understand.
