part trois- my goodies

if you're wondering what the goodies were... wonder no more! shall lift the veil of mystery that was shrouding the engagement... well ok, not much of a mystery to those in the know, but those who dunno or weren't expecting it so soon, here we go.

we actually went shopping for the ring waaay back then during the sales... i can't remember which sale period but it was before the xmas sales, sometime in the 4th quarter of the year. think in one of the much earlier posts i wrote, i said something about my ability to walk into a sale and come out with something at nett price. guess what? ahahah. yeah ok, there wasn't a discount on the ring but it was a really good low price. went to compare at other places and i just couldn't get the same quality for the same amount. brought the bf- oops, i mean fiance- to the store and walked out with a not one, not two, not three, but five stone ring. score! it's super brilliant cos of the cutting (hearts and arrows) so i was pretty gleeful about it. haha. didn't want a solitaire cos i think it's too typical. was going for a trilogy but the 5 stone looked a lot better on my fat finger.

then on 31 dec (i remember the date cos it was new year mah) we went to get his watch. this one got bargain one, managed a good price. haha. we were going in and out a couple of times, pretend to discuss and all... it's a seiko sportura kinetic chronograph watch. saw it a couple of days ago at one of the dept stores here and omfg! the price was like 550 bucks more than what i paid for his sia! this is why we should support small and medium businesses. shop local, people.

other goodies came in the form of food. gastronomical delights for him included a big ass cake, cupcakes, chocs, fruits, more cakes and curry puffs. go check out the pics! he gave me quite a lot more dulangs than i gave him tho. lol. think it was 14 vs 21 or something. :s i can't exactly remember who has given what but here's my list of thank yous. if i left you out sorry hor! lemme know and i'll edit. wahaha.

well, i did pay for the mak andam and half my outfit! haha. naturally all proceeds from the engagement went to my mum. expensive business man.

ooh forgot to add in another blooper. his sis and zuraidah both ordered cupcakes from the same place, and apparently the orders got switched. so zuraidah ended up getting the cupcakes his sis ordered and vice versa. she was panicking and was like, shit naz, the cupcakes are purple! ahaha. the ones that we picked out were pink and purple and had only my name and his name on. pretty! the purple and white ones were pretty too, and they said 'selamat bertunang'. u know what the stupid thing is though? don't think i got solo pics of the cupcakes lor!! argh! this is what happens when i ask ari to be the unofficial photog. sighs. note to self- never again.
