Christmas is Here #2 - It is all in that Little Blue Box

As in previous years, my dear hubby has no idea when it comes to buying gifts. He just simply has no clue. He blames it on my fussiness. And I have long learnt that it is not possible to instill romanticism if you do not have it. Or it is just his engineered mind that believes that practicality is what matters, so you won't get to receive gifts that are of "no use" - like flowers. Anyway, so this year, he asked me again the same question.

"What do you want for Christmas...and anniversary?"

Okay, I don't blame you for lumping the two events together in one bundle, afterall they are a day apart. But can you for once think of ideas yourself?

"Why don't I bring you to the shop and you can choose anything you like?"

Then it won't be anything like a surprise!

"But you cannot take surprises, I know you."

Okay, I am inquisitive ok, if you put a packaged gift in front of me, I won't stop thinking what it could be. I will guess it till I got it right. But am I being punished for that?

To cut the long story short, I gave up. So instead of going to the shop, I gave him a riddle to solve. I remembered doing this last year too. The riddle goes like this:

"The key to unlocking the mystery lies in a Little Blue Box"

Tell me, which guy doesn't know the answer?! I cannot believe my guy doesn't know it. He asked the little man, who said:

"Mommy, is it something you can eat?"

You mean Chocolates? NOPE.

So I gave him another hint.

"The little blue box is in Takashimaya."

To cut the long story short again, he insisted the little blue box is in Lucky Plaza. He just wants to see me mad (Actually, he already knew what the LLB is cos he has searched the net apparently - okay, quite smart).

And when he and Ryan went into the LLB, I received a call.

"We found the LLB, and we BOTH have the same taste. But when we wanted to buy it, our jaws dropped."

So in the end, there is no Little Blue Box for me. But this is an important lesson for the two men. They have learnt three things:

1) It is no secret, the Little Blue Box never fails to win a woman's heart.
2) The Little Blue Box is NOT in Lucky Plaza (it never is, and never will).
3) You need to be prepared ($$$) before walking into the Little Blue Box.
