Speaking Of Rocks And Hard Places

I never want to go ring buying with you lot again! My goodness! John, Leng, Leng’s mom, AND Leng’s aunties! It was a circus at the jewellery shop! I never knew choosing the ring was more painful than pulling teeth! John, you were such a hero for keeping your calm throughout the whole affair, even though you could literally see more and more notes flying out from your wallet every time they brought out the next more expensive tray of rings. Haha, and every time Leng picked out a ring, John’s eyes saw the price tag before he saw anything else. But the aunties, they looked at the size of the rock before anything else. It was a battle of wills. But I think a satisfactory compromise was reached in the end.

My favourite moment in the whole event was when it was time to pay. The sales assistant told you guys that paying by credit card was going to be 2% more “because of tax” (right, which just meant she was passing the credit card fees to you). Then she suggested that John pay by cash to get the “discount” and pointed you to the nearest “ATM Machine” to “draw money”. It would have been funny if John had come back with a 10,000 note, handdrawn. But of course, that’s illegal tender, and we all want legal tender between John and Leng.

Ok, bad joke, yes Min, I’ve used up my quota, so back to the planning of the wedding, guys. Food tasting is coming up so I want Hui Leng and John to confirm the attendance of your parents. You have to tell me which menu you want because it is going to affect the cost per table, especially since we are at 58 tables now.
