Thanks, Nicky Dear, for the lovely surprise.
I kinda half expected (and also half-hoped) he would do that. But I wouldn't be disappointed if he didn't as I thought it was too extravagant. And you know, I am quite a frugal person.
He bought me another bag, that silly. It's a new design, and it was the last piece in Singapore. The price is still below $2k, but about $200 bucks more expensive than the first one. I was kinda deciding between the first one and this second one, but finally decided on the first one, cos they both looked nice to me, so price became the deciding factor. I am cheap, I know! Nic had always thought the second one looked nicer and more elegant on me. And since it's just about $100-200 difference, he felt of course I should get the new design. I am so obtuse sometimes. I should listen to the Finance guy more often.
But I was also kinda expecting he wouldn't take my check for the first bag. humph. *pouts* I know I insisted he took it but had he insisted for another time he won't, I would have taken it back. *blushes* But it's just as well.
Him,' But you said it would make you feel so much better.'
Me, ' I didn't expect you to go and buy another one. So now between the two of us, we had spent almost 4K on bags within a span of 1 week. It's so sinful, so wasteful!'
Him, 'I thought you deserve a proper birthday present.'
Me, ' It's blasphemous even.'
Him, (Cheekily) 'You can take the check back. That will just eat into your budget for christmas.'
Me,' I have no need for two bags.'
Him, ' Honey, just be happy.'
Yeah right. It's just so like me to be so wishy-washy about things.
And he didn't forget to remind me to just keep things between us that way - that is, between us- in the future. We don't need interference from others. Ok, will bear that in mind.
But it's still so wasteful. And I am unemployed - this never fails to lay a major guilt trip on me. Oh well.
