On the Early Gift

Mum: So what do you want for your present?

Me: Erm... I haven't thought of something. Don't get me anything. I'll tell you what I want when I thought of something.

Mum: Nothing comes into your mind at the moment?

Me: Well... I've always wanted a lense. But don't worry la, I'll look around first. It's not exactly that cheap anyways.

Mum: How much is it?

Me: 2k probably. But don't worry. I won't rush. Will take my time to pick one that I really really want.

Mum: Wow. That's quite expensive. You still have enough money? I can ask your Dad if you need some. You sure you don't want us to get you anything else?

Me: No no no. If I get the lense, it'll be the biggest present from all of you. Like the camera last year. Otherwise it's okay. It's not about gifts anymore nowadays. It's the thoughts that count.

Mum: True. If got anything just let us know okay?


So it was a surprise when Sis pass me the little paper bag with a little small box in it. Fred Lenzo.

What else could we get for a guy huh? Belt. Wallet. Ties. Tie clip. Cufflinks. I suppose those are the stuff that came into my mind when you ask me about getting a gift for a working guy as well. I mean, yeah, I can't really think of anything anymore.

And it opens up to Andre Michelle instead.

How cute. Thanks Dad.
