Material girl* - Madonna

It was no surprise that our conversation revolved around the elections, traffic jam, Hindraf... and the bloke who spent RM40,000.00 to put up a billboard to propose to his gal on V-Day. Oh, he also spent RM14,000.00 to get a ring for her.

So i've heard enuf from girls who think that he did such a wonderful thing... until last Sat nite.

Girl 1: If I am the girl, i'd ask him why din he use the RM40,000.00 to get me a ring - and use the RM14,000.00 instead to advertise his proposal!!!

Girl 2: No, i'd rather he used the RM54,000.00 to get me a BIGGER ring! Who cares about the billboard?

The other girls echoed their agreement, much to the amusement of us guys listening!

p/s - oh, we were wondering wat kind of person would spend heaps of money to propose to his girl and itemise the spending to all the local newspapers to publish...

*Some consider this as her signature song - so much so that i read she regretted recording it as it became her nickname! ut such a good song from a good artist!

I'd prefer taking the RM14,000 to travel to London to see Arsenal and buy a new kit and Paris to see Monet and everything else there. And taking the RM40,000 and giving half to my parents and half to charity (not me, the organisations).

What can you do with a (conflict) diamond ring except stare at it and show it off? And get robbed.

you know, after reading yr comment, i realise how little RM14,000.00 can buy!!!!

anyways, here's wat sujesh pavithran wrote in The Star yesterday:-

"...give the money to a deserving charity and tell her you did it in her name. Believe me, this will last the distance, much further than... putting your mug out in public to declare your undying love".

You can read the whole article here.

any guy that stoopid is probaby not worth spending a lifetime with. i'd rather he gave me the rm54000 - and i'd only get back to him re: the proposal after the cheque cleared, haha
