The ring …

I haven’t blogged about the ring yet!

I was so evil. When we had dinner at TGIF on the eve of Valentine’s, she brought up the story of how her best friend got a fake glass engagement ring [temporary, for-display-purpose-only] before they get the real thing together. She then hinted twice .. haha .. first was that Diamond and Platinum has a nice selection. Then she looked across the street and said,”Look! Wah Chan! Sale!”

So .. I played along. We’re planning to buy the camera .. so I said,”Ah .. after we buy camera .. then .. no more money lo ..” and went on a good half of the night talking about how I don’t think I’ll be able to afford one .. and more practical engagement “gifts” like a property [yeah right .. like I can afford one .. right now ... right!] or something else!

I think she was just a little bit disappointed with some of my responses .. and questioned my rationale. I was trying to keep a straight face the whole way through .. and .. yeah .. I think I did pretty well.

(she’s so gonna kill me when she finds out I was pulling her leg..)

Please don’t kill me .. Lizzie.

Here’s a couple of shots.

our first valentine

What is it with .. overpriced flowers and extravagant displays of love?

We didn’t do much, as I had worship practice at night but .. I brought her out for dinner the night before.

She surprised me though, got me a nice tie-n-cufflink set. Very cute.

Silly girl, thought that cufflinks can be worn with all shirts. Only shirts with French cuffs, love.

Thank you. Sorry I didn’t get you flowers. Jason was harping over the whole “YOU MUST GET HER FLOWERS” thing .. but .. I didn’t buy it. Literally. But we’re smarter than that, right? To fall victim to unacceptable inflation, unreasonable exorbitant lousy set dinners .. 

To .. everyday-is-Valentine’s-day, EVERY DAY!
