Well yesterday I received a notification from the post office that there is a parcel with my name on it. So today I went to pick up the parcel from the local post office. As soon as I got the package I saw Steve's name a.k.a Lol-x so I knew who sent it !

So I finally made it to my apartment and picked up my trusty swiss army knife and opened the package and this is what I saw

I removed the paper and then I saw 2 packages

The one had a springbar tool and the other one an eye loupe ! COOL !

And then I realised that there was another package

So I opened it up and the first word that came to my mind was WOW what a sweet looking book ( Vintage rolex book in japanese )

So after a couple of minutes I started playing with the springbar tool and I really liked it ! It worked like a charm on my watch. Then I started playing with the eye loupe for a couple of minutes. I was inspecting my watch for any quality control issues

Then I realised that it was time to check out the wonderful book that Steve sent me. Hmmm so I opened the first page and started looking at the photos.

After checking out the whole book I realised that I was richer by 50 euros

( and trust me that 's a lot of money when you are a student and you have to live with a limited budget )

5 euro Banknotes were showing up every time I was passing 10 pages

So here is a pic with all the goodies that I received from Steve a.k.a Lol-x

Honestly I was shocked by the generosity and it took me a couple of minutes to understand what was really happening. THANKS A LOT Steve !

Just a plain thank you is not enough !

PS. There was a letter too but I didn't manage to snap a pic of it ! I'll upload a pic later

No Louie, his post wound up being the Millionth post - he hasn't entered a million posts himself (he's working on it, though!

). You know...like the guy who goes in to buy a Yugo and bells go off, and he wins the prize (a year's supply of baby wipes or something) for being sold the "Millionth" Yugo in the Chech Republic.
