Chinese New Year Surprise Gifts

MONDAY GIFTS...  My niece messaged me early on a Monday morning asking me whether I would be home the whole day.  She said her gift would be arriving anytime yesterday.  So I waited.... yes, one van came horning at my front gate around noon.  I carried the box in and did not open till it was late afternoon. 


When I opened the white box, I was surprised to see cans of abalones and a dozen bottles of birds nest.  Wahhhhh..... I was thinking why my niece was so generous this year and I quickly took some pictures and sent them to her, saying a Big Thank You!  Her reply surprised me.... "Äuntie, these gifts are definitely not from me!  Mine are cheap skate gifts.... LOL"..... 

Oh, the moment I read that, I messaged my kids' whatsapp group.... "Anyone of you sent these?"  And one reply came promptly... "Yes, we bought these.... "

Thank you, Kids!
Will think of you all each time I drink one bottle...
LOL.... 

On the same day around 4pm, another van came horning at my front gate... OH, again?  This time must be from my niece, I was telling myself... I took a picture of the box and sent to her again... "Ïs this from you?" 

Once again, she replied... "No la... mine are much cheaper stuff.... "
LOL...
Anyway, I got to know who sent these yummy healthy snacks...
Thank you, Mr & Mrs JH!!

p/s: my niece's gift has not arrived yet though she messaged to tell me...
those who did not tell me, their gifts arrived... LOL...
