A Ring conversation on Twitter's DM

I was so excited when I realize I can actually have access to the outside world via Twitter that I was all geared up to tweet and guess what? My buddy called! This kuku Danny called during office hours when I could not talk. So how? We started to DM each other on Twitter. How fun, right?

The topic of discussion was interesting - Danny is buying a ring for his girlfriend!
(But as we DM to and fro, I realized the sentences were phrased like we are on MSN. Eh, why like that huh???)

Anyway, I thought the conversation was really interesting so I am compiling it for everyone to read - with Danny's permission of course.

Danny : I want to ask you if you know where I can get nice couple rings?

Me : Huh? What? Ring? Wah! Wooooo! Wow weeeee! You proposing ah? Me want be bridesmaid! But hor, you both only dated like six months right?

Danny : Yah lah. Six months cannot buy rings meh? You siao char bor.

Me : Can. Orrr...you evil. You sure make her wear it on the ring finger. Then when she go out, people think she engaged. And nobody will want sian her. Think I don't know what you thinking about. Hah! You damn fucking evil turtle.

Danny : Of course wear on the ring finger la. If not wear where? On the backside ah? You don't know that the vein in the finger goes straight to the heart meh? The ring will make her love me more and more. And when she see the ring everyday, she will think of me every second.

Me : You just want to constantly rub your presence in her face. But hor, you don't upset her leh. Cos the vein on the ring finger goes straight to her heart mah, if you make her angry/ sad, everytime she looks at the ring, her heart will be broken.

Danny : Really meh? I won't make her sad one lor. Aiyah, but I want to buy a ring because rings carries with them more meaning than flowers or a necklace. It's like a promise of love and commitment. You experienced a ring that made you sad before is it? People talk about love and commitment, you talk about heartbroken. Oh well, you did wear a certain ring on that finger for a few years....

Me : Yah lah, I wore that stupid ring for so long that the skin around my finger is discolored and show signs of a ring being there before. Everytime, when I look at it, it feels like a bloody scar that keeps reminding me of the past. But I have nothing that fits to wear over to cover that scar either. Unless, I take out the few proposal rings I collected over the years to wear. Haha!

Danny : Win liao lor. Turn people down and still want to wear the rings. You a bit siao still, I think. I found some rings online and I want to buy it for her for Christmas. You take a look at the designs and suggest some shops where I can see look as well can? I just thought - maybe you can wear a Coke-can tab to cover that "scar".

Me : Coke can tab??? - insert : string of swear words -

~ The rest of the conversation is of P&C stuff and are not for your eyes. ~

Well, some of you will think that it's just a normal conversation but those of you who knows Danny from my old blog, will know that he is one crazy guy. He is not a bad person, maybe a little flirty, looks a bit too naughty and a bit too kiam-lang-gan at times but we all know he is good-natured and will likely settle down one day when he meets someone who can curb him.

And there we go, he finally meets someone and is going to try tie her down with a ring! Wahahahaha! Ahem ahem, this is someone's first time buying a ring for a girl can? (Sorry Danny, but I really think this is so funny!)

But what surprised me more was when Danny mentioned that his reason for buying a ring is because it represents a promise of love and commitment. Well, mate, I guess you are really right. I remember, once upon a time, just by looking at that ring on my ring finger, it brings a smile to my face. It was a promise, indeed. But unfortunately, that promise was never fulfilled in the end. What's left is a discolored finger that follows me till this day. Bleah.

Anyway, never mind me, I am not the star here. I am happy for Danny that he is taking that step forward. Rings on the fingers - they are indeed not just pieces of metal. They carry with them a promise as well as is a proof that two people are taking that step forward together. So mate, here we go, let's start the search of those rings for you.

P/S : Mate, I found this set of really cute couple ring. Basically, there are two names on each ring. The silver part can be turned. So when you twist it, your partner's name will appear on the same ring. Cool huh?

Then of course you can engrave the dates in there :

Btw, please note your presentation skills can? Don't thrust the rings in her face. At least present it properly ok? (Bears sure can work one.)
