惊不惊喜? 意不意外?
Jīng bù jīngxǐ yì bù yìwài
This translated to: Isn’t it surprising and unexpected?
This is a famous quote from the movie All’s Well, Ends Well (家有喜事1992).
Now it is used when things turned out to be out of your expectations.
However, it has a funny connotation to it. You may send it to your chinese friend and they would appreciate the link to their culture!
