Listen Up Guys!
A couple of days ago, some guy trying to test the waters to see how I would react to his proposal made a really big mistake. He started off alright, asking me as a passing comment if I would say yes if he asked me to marry him. I answered with the standard 'Of course, if you buy me that ring.'
This guy happens to know I want a ring from Tiffany and Co. because he knows my female friend, and one day in 2003 when we were tired of studying for the finals, we went to Tiffany's to have a look, and I pointed out that ring to her. Unfortunately, Ms Ye Meixiu cannot remember which ring it is. And no laughter about wanting a ring from Tiffany's please. I'm a sucker for that place because Audrey Hepburn happens to be my definition of beautiful, and then well my favourite movie just happens to have a proposal scene at that silly shop.
So basically that guy went to Tiffany's and since Meixiu didn't know which ring it was, went to have a look around. He apparently saw this ring with a price tag of 5 digits (not including the decimal place duh) that he couldn't take his eyes off. He said he went to look at other rings in the store, but that ring sparkled so much he couldn't stop looking at it.
And he foolishly enough told me this immediately after I reminded him that no proposal to me without a ring is ever going to get a yes.
So I told him matter-of-factly that the ring I originally wanted only cost 2-3K, but since there's a ring that he thinks is much nicer, so much so that he can't even look around to find a ring that could possibly be the one I was referring to, then obviously I'm not going to settle for less than that ring.
Hee hee hee. Not going to mention that guy's name here, in case he gets embarassed and I won't get any ring at all =(.
Something for you all to learn from, guys. Especially those *ahemMalcolmahem* who need me to invite the girl they are interested in into a group MSN chat window and ask her out for them because they are too shy to *gigglez*.
