the diamonds and their girls

Two weeks ago at a jewelery shop in a shopping mall:

My sister and I was browsing through the diamond rings collection, hardly noticing the price tag as both of us were caught in the swirl of black hole of admiration. When I spotted The Diamond Ring, the quirky salesman got my attention.

This is the conversation between us:

wide-eyed me: this is one is so beautiful!
sister: its too big la (noticing the size of the rock. Huge!)
salesman: (quickly put the ring on my finger)
wide-eyed me: oooh how much is this?
salesman: got discount one! some more you can pay 0% installment!
wide-eyed me: (spotted another ring) and that? and how bout this one?
salesman: all got discount one
wider-eyed me: eh you better take this ring back. Nanti i bawa lari.
salesman: no problem. U can bawa lari. But marry me first!
sister: oh corny corny.

No I didn't buy the ring or marry the guy just to have it.. my heart is set just for my bubuchan. =P

Last week at the same store:

I was browsing the bracelet collection after deciding that one ring will be too much. And the same quirky salesman was entertaining me (from behind of the counter)

me: how much for that bracelet?
salesman: you mean the platinum or the white gold?
me: er. Why don't you quote both the price.
salesman: why don't you try it. (offering the platinum)
me: okay (this time I put it on myself. ye sayang?)
salesman: so how? try the white gold as well
me: okay (again I took it from him and put it on myself) (emphasizing)
salesman: this one is more expansive than the ring. Size and amount of diamonds, smaller cuts make all the difference. (showing the price tags)
me: bapak mahal! haha you better take it off before I ruin it!
salesman: no problem. You got how many sisters?

hahahaha.
corny, corny.

For this type of service, please head on to T***** & Co.

(for the record, I've three single sisters but one made unavailable due to age restriction)


They say diamonds are girl's bestfriend.
Much that I adore diamonds (me being tomboyish and all tapi gile berlian. Don't quite jive eh?)
but I don't think I'll marry a guy just for his diamonds.

I don't care about the rocks, just your heart that I adore the most. A smile that melts me.
