Victoria Secret

"Hello?", i answered my mobile. Some man on the other side of the line said something in Swedish."Do you speak english?" i retorted "Yes! I have a parcel to be delivered to Chand...ar Pra...ba" I intervene before he could distort my name further "chandar Prabah Rai? you mean?" "er yes!" I enquire where the parcel was from and he went on to say from USA and it struck me then! My Victoria Secret Parcel which was to be delivered only on the 23rd Of the month was here.

So as i talked to him i logged into UPS's website and tracked it. Yeah! it was received in Malmo at 648am just today. So well the man told me theat i should have 475krowns ready when he delivers on Monday? I was taken aback by the amount cuz whatever i had purchased had been paid for in full! So well i asked in the simplest way possible and got my reply! M.O.M.S which means Taxes in sweden! i have to pay 110sgd in taxes for my 400usd parcel! anyway i have no other choice but to do as told...

but monday we were to have a housewives meeting with the swedish lady who was to bring us around to familiarise us with things...so i told him i wont be home on monday and if possible could he come in the morning instead of between 1 to 3 in the noon? the blunt reply was " No No! we only deliver mon between 1 to 3 if not you can drive to Ronneby airport and collect it on your own!" ok so i got it..its either monday or self collection...I guess i got to forgo the monday meeting then! just hope its not too important and i dont miss out much.Cant wait to get my hands on the parcel...and contarary to popular beliefs, VS doesnt only sell lingerie they also carry clothes and accessories!

This parcel by the way was a gift from my darling husband to me for our 4th anniversary on the 19th September.. ;) cant wait for it!!!
