Romance CAN be cheap
An answer to Alvin's Entry. Yes. Romance can be cheap. For ladies looking for true love and not material luxuries. Romance can be very cheap. Hell, Alvin didn't spend anything on me except for tt $6.90 piggy bank tt still stands on my table. AND he shared the $6.90 cost with at least 3 other pple. Oh and they also shared the cost and bought a cake for my birthday. So effectively, he only spent at most 15bucks on me. And I was still completely dazzled by him. See? Cheap.
One fine evening, shortly after we got together. We were going to pastamania for dinner. On our way we walked passed this shop tt has this incredibly cute ashtray. So I told him "Eh... tt ashtray very cute hor? I like very long lei. But never buy". When we reached home, he told me to grab this plastic bag frm his bag. As I took a peek inside... it was the ashtray I wanted. Although I didn't recall him leaving my side. Except when I was at the toilet. But the toilet is too far away for him to make a dash for it and buy the ashtray without me knowing. Till now, I have no idea when and how he got me the ashtray. Price of ashtray - $5.90. Cheap hor? But it made me very happy.
My keychain broke and fell off. I've got no keychain. After his meeting with his CEC president guy.. he got me a piggy keychain. Yes.. I have this thing for pigs. And knowing tt I love soups.. he got me a packet of mushroom soup too. You know why I love soups and tofu? They don't require any/much chewing. Heh Heh. I'm one lazy pig. Price of Keychain - $10.90(estimated)
Price of soup - $7.90(estimated).
I love Nicholas Sparks. He got me my favourite The Notebook and another one called Message in A Bottle. Which I only managed to finish chapter one for 2 months... I think? LoL. He got me the books to pass time. Since I have so much on my hands. YES! ENVY ME. Anyway.. both books didn't cost more than $15.
Last month, he saw tt I always put my phone on my handphone pouch. To prevent scratches from hard surfaces ma. So he bought me a piggy handphone stand. Tt by far is the cutest piggy he ever bought me. Cost of handphone stand - $12.10
One night we were at reef.. the lady boss kept walking pass me. And the scent tt she's wearing attracted my nostrils. I asked the lady boss what perfume she was wearing. About a week lata... Alvin got me the perfume. Cost of perfume - $59.90 (estimated) This is a tad over budget.. but very thougtful isn't it?
Along the way.. he also bought me many other things. Like a clay coaster tt is now a decorative on my table. It reads "Women are made to be loved not understood". And a scented candle for romantic purposes la. *shy* Btw, the scent is really nice.
It's not the price of the gift tt counts. But the thought tt matters. What Alvin bought for me wasn't extremely pricey. Not some tag heuer watch tt I've been eyeing tt costs thousands which I totally DO NOT need. Things like these in my current situation are for my admiration only. Most importantly, Alvin put in the effort to look deeper and see what I really need. Which is very thoughtful and sincere. Tt for me... is romantic enough. A man who understands and makes a point to look further and see what I really need. Most important of all.... he is Alvin Wong. Nothing else matters. Hiaks!
