Gifts for LK and me

It all depends upon a fitness test. If LK passes, he'll be here during Chinese New Year. If he doesn't, he'll try really hard to get his ticket changed to late December because he'll have to attend more training in Feburary. I can't decide which result I want. If he passes, I know he'll be visiting for sure since his ticket's already booked for CNY. If he doesn't pass, I'll be really happy to have him here for the holidays. But the chances of changing his flight date are low. Damn, I wish he'd booked his flight for December instead.

We were talking on the phone last night about wedding bands and engagement rings. I left my little rock at home in Singapore since it's too pretty to wear every day; my wedding band is already scratched up rather badly. And LK suggested I have a littler rock to wear all the time. I was excited. Could you blame me? A little bright band of white gold, a tiny stone. I'd like to think that I'm not swayed by such trinkets, but I suppose I'm like most of the female population out there. When the husband wants to buy you a ring, you don't try to pretend to be noble and above the lure of gems.

Now what can I buy him?

now who could resist something that was ~made~ with love? if all else fails, a swiss army knife WITH a message engraved on it would be more original than a swiss army knife. ;) now which would the hubby prefer?

hmm ... what about a cool bag? two tacks here, the messenger yuppie type, or the leather working kind ... or both!

thanks for the suggestions, folks! I do like the idea of multiple and personalized presents. i'll see what i can find in AA once the term ends.

Hi! Hi!

I've got most stuff already,so no need lah. Anyway I've got 3 Leatherman's tool and 2 swiss army knife sets..
You can pay for my new laptop... ;)

come on, where's the fun in that?! No element of surprise. One day the laptop will be outdated, and you'll sell it, and that's the end of the present. =(

I'm going to get you something you DON'T need.
