These came from a good friend in N.I. and I had been told that it's gonna be a surprise. So I had been wondering what's that might be and it was a big surprise for me. First of all, she wrote everything in Mandarin. I knew she is a smart girl and has passion learning languages and kanji. But I didn't expect she would wrote everything in Mandarin. How sweet!! In addition to that, she expressed what she want to say pretty well. She even used a compound sentence. 
Wow!!! I was really impressed!! I can understand 95% of it. Very proud of her!!!!
Second, I got this lovely gift. She is also good at knitting- Amigurumi. She knew my favorite colour and animal, so she knitted a yellow cat for me.It's so cute and Ilove it. I especially like the expression on its face, its nose and its colourful legs. Now that I will have company while working at night.
I also want to wish her all the best for the coming year, her thesis and future career.
