Ask and Ye Shall Receive

The trip to the home country had been planned as early as December 2022.  Before the trip, I was trying to figure out if there was anything in particular I wanted to get from there because it was not available here or perhaps cheaper to get from there.  Bread pans seemed cheaper from Lazada than  Amazon and eBay.  

Based on my online shopping trips, Lazada PH had bread pans at PHP 222 (+ PHP 38) delivery.  That came up to about AUD 7.00.

That was a lot cheaper than AUD 28 that I found in Amazon AU.

Two weeks before we left, I asked brother J if he could get two pans for me.  I figured with enough lead time, the pans would arrive before it was time for us to leave.

When my birthday arrived and he had something wrapped up for me to open, I had totally forgotten that I had asked for loaf pans.  As such I was happily surprised to get exactly what I wanted for my birthday.

Thanks, J!
