Tea and the dying goldfish

Feb 04, 2010 17:14




this is ah poon. i named it after our neighbour. Its been floating on its belly for over a week. Ana wants to keep small fish so shes waiting for it to die, but its not dying...just yet. gd' ol fella.




I got a bottle of straight tea with sugar from animate!
why? because 1) i like the bottle 2) i wanted to try ordering something edible online 3) it was one of the only things that looked affordable, nice and actually in-stock online.

However!
Due to some idiots terror attack in US, my tea has been deemed a potentially dangerous liquid, hence when i actually opened the package, all i got was that empty bottle. Well, at least they gave me back the bottle.

Well, in their exact words when I asked why I only got an empty bottle...

"Hello,

Yes, it's the customs/security requirement. They tigthened the
security after Xmas terror attempt in USA and the liquid item can't
be sent now. Thank you for your understanding.

They were "KIND" enough to leave me one drop for tasting(see not even half a sip). It actually tastes not too bad actually. It's like lipton tea with the right amount of sugar. Still, i do wish they at least left me a note, or gave me an email notice before sending it over, so that I wouldn't have had such a confusing shock when i open my package. Maybe Keigo-san got to drink it-_- on my behalf. Damn you. Is tea inflammable?




As i was saying i wanted something edible from japan. Biscuits that werent shiroi koibito or something. So for the heck of it I got this box of Sayonara Zetsubou sensei biscuits. There are 6 round biscuits with that penguin's face on it together with the word "DESPAIR". lol. It tastes like a normal biscuit. hahha. I wanted to try to get noodles or ramen or curry, but they didn't have stock online when i ordered :(, i guess i will have to wait for my next japan trip.

Also, my mom or maid threw away my sakura tea before i could even try it the last time, so i bought a new pack XD. Luckily, packet tea is not dangerous. They didn't need to open it to check if i was hiding drugs disguised as tea in it. 絶望した!税関に絶望した!!!!!




Got a pocket watch online too. Don't know what i was thinking when i did that. hahahahah
I wanted one that'd remind me of those lovely mechanics in last exile, but well those are way way way over budget anyway, so i got something a bit more affordable. Around 3000yen? I couldn't bare to spend more cos anything through celga will cost a bomb. You can open it to show a white clock face, and you can see the clockworks at the back :) Now what i want is a swiss army knife XD
