Sometimes when it comes to presents, I still prefer that I do not receive one. Do you know why? You can say that I'm very picky, particular or a difficult person but I can only say 1 thing, all the presents I received are really not what I like or prefer. I can only say that this is a very sad thing. It can either say this person can't be bothered to know what I like or that person simply can't be bothered as long as they have a gift for you.

So far, Christie's gifts are the most thoughtful. She knows what I like and prefer. ^^ Aww I miss Christie's gifts.

Everytime I heard people say, "It's the thought that counts". I really think this is bullshit. And you may be wondering why am I so harsh in saying that? If you can't even get a decent present for someone, where will you have "the thoughts that counts"

I think I regretted spending so much $$ on buying too good presents. I even spent the whole day looking the whole of JP2 just to look for the presents. I think so far a Pierre Cardin Wallet and a Towel is something useful. The rest like the auntie bag, Phuket souvenir and a bar of chocolate is the worst I have ever received.

And I can tell you 1 thing for sure, only AUNTIES give Phuket souvenir as presents because they can't be bothered. According to my friend, it was very cheap in Thailand, probably less than $1 SINGAPORE DOLLARS. To think that I spend almost $10 for her present. Tsk.

My friend was also no better. She was told that she had to spend $30 each on 3 presents, please note also by 2 aunties. She bought the knitted cat pouch (the real stuff), crabtree & evelyn set and another one a set of beauty products. She definitely regretted buying that for them because this is what she get in return: A stupid small gold pouch which the auntie said is branded but only if you look inside, two TY bears and 1 photo frame. =.= I HATE PHOTO FRAMES!

Anyway to summarize my story, let's start with "the moral of the story is" do not buy too good stuff especially for aunties unless you can be sure that she is a "MODERN AUNTIE" if not don't be bothered to think about their present, just grab anything for them from the supermarket or "mini maini mini mo".

Another advice for to-be wedded women or mothers, PLEASE DO NOT BE SO STINGY WHEN IT COMES TO GIFTS. Choosing the RIGHT GIFT IS WHAT THE THOUGHTS THAT COUNTS.

Ok. I'm done with my complains...I still have to put a smile in front of everyone tomorrow ":)"
