~SnUgGy HuNnY GoO~: An early early christmas gift....

Last week, while out shopping with Ning, I wanted to get da a christmas present. If you ladies have not already noticed, getting christmas gifts, or ANY gift, for that matter, for ANY guy, can be quite a headache. Especially for this guy of mine, who never seems to have any expectations, or anything that he wants...

And so, for me to get him a gift, it's usually quite a feat, and I would have to squeeze whatever is remaining in my brains for any ideas on what to get him.. We were just wandering around, and I saw this watch which I thought was very very nice... It was an ODM watch, made out of STainless steel, and it was a very limited limited edition... There were 4 in this series, and there were only one piece each per counter.

I took a look a t the gold piece, and nearly fainted when I saw the price... $439. (Well, to be frank, I actually saw the gold one for myself...)

Then I saw the matt silver one, which I thought would suit da very well. And since the previous watch I got for him was like 4 years ago , I thought I would get it for him... $349...

It was not until the night before that I got to give it to him.

I made hm open it, and he liked it. (or so he said...I don't know... no emotions ever betray his face. I wouldn't know if he likes it or not. He will just say "thank you da, i really like it...")

Then I was telling him about the series, and what other colours they had in it, blah blah blah, and I just told him that the gold one was very nice too, and that I would have gotten it for him had he been daring enough to wear it, but he was not the very flashy type who would wear that sort of watch... hee..

When he asked about the price, I told him "don't bother. I don't really really die die must have it also.. and anyway, you wouldn't bear to buy it for me...it's really very expensive..." (which, by the way, is true. I didn't really absolutely die die must have it. It was just really nice)

Immediately after I said that, I regretted it. I knew that deep inside da's brains, I have already set the wheels in motion. It was not the first time that this sort of thing happened. I would just mention in passing that I liked something, and chances are I would be bound to get it if da can still afford it.. I know...I am the blessed one. I know that many people would kill to have a guy like mine, and I know it. I really love him for this... =)

But seriously, I didn't want him to spend so much money for the watch for me. Because I change watches al the time, unlike da who would wear that one and only one watch, and hence it's worth it for me to buy a good watch for him...

Ok. It so happens that I have been looking at a lot of gold watches recently...

This is the watch which I got for Da. It's matt silver. Really cool. and very solid. (it's damn heavy...)

Wanna know what happened next? Last night (Friday), I met him in town for dinner, and also to help him remove one piece off the strap because it was too loose.

Da seemed to have a "hard time" looking for a parking lot, because it took him very long to come and meet me. I took a bus down to town from home on my own.

Then I had a hunch. Shit.

When I finally saw him, he had a paper bag in his hands that look suspiciously like the same box in which his watch came in...

Shit

Shit

Shit.

This was what I got. The same watch, but the colour which I liked. The gold....

Trust me. I could feel my heart break. It's really really very expensive. It's not that I don't appreciate it...but me, when I feel bad for making him spend so much money, I would put on a grouchy face which may have been translated as "i don't like it"...

but I really do... And I appreciate it.. a lot a lot...
