Farewell to the "Lady in Mask" - Part II

To those following my blog, some may wonder what we finally got for our dear Lady Behind the Paper Mask. Well, after much searching & cracking the cranium, we finally got her :
1. Man Utd T-Shirt (Nike - original)
2. Collector's Man. Utd. Sticker Book

It was quite a strange selection process when my hubby & I went scouting for the T-Shirt. At first we wanted to get the jersey, but 2 things stopped us :
1. they only have size L & XL (& the size L can fit both my hubby & his tummy with room to spare!)
2. it has made in Thailand label (not that it is of lower quality... but... you know... the connotation)

We then found a T-Shirt that has Man Utd logo & the Nike logo. Though it's not the customary red / black colour (it's white) but it fits all criterias including the size. My hubby checks the label again & this time it's printed "Made in Turkey". He then said "this should be ok lar... At least Turkey is one of the 'European' countries..." **eyes rolling**

The other funny bit to share here is that she got excited just looking at the Collector's Man. Utd. Sticker Book that the Nike T-Shirt seem to be temporarily forgotten! It goes without saying that the T-Shirt is the more expensive of the 2.

Hmmm.... It makes me wonder.... we have Storm (& her exploits is well known in this blog). Now we have this reaction from lady in mask who's co-incidentally Storm's neighbour... One wonders if Storm's antics is contagious... **wink**

Anyway, when she finally got to opening her prezzy & found the T-Shirt, she was beyond ecstatic too... phew! My job is a complished! Was quite a feat trying to find her gift! After all, am not a football fan (don't even know the players names, let alone their field position).
