Princess: Baby I want to go do my eyelash extensions this Saturday.
Me: Oh? Where?
Princess: 1-Utama
Me: Wah! That means I have to take you there and wait for you to do it ar?
Princess: Yah
Me: How long?
Princess: About an hour.
Me: WHAT?!?! Okay… here’s what we’ll do. I’ll take you and I’ll wait for you. But in return you must sit with me and watch me play XBOX on Sunday for 2 hours.
Princess: What? My eyelash will only take an hour.
Me: Okay fine.. 1 hour.
So Saturday afternoon I was sitting in some shop in 1-U waiting for Princess to get her eyelash extensions. Knowing that I would be bored, I brought myself a book to read.
Plus… knowing that she’s going to be watching me play XBOX, I went out somewhere in between to buy some XBOX games. Total damage… close to RM400.
Then I went back to the shop and got scolding from Princess for spending so much money on games that I almost never play =(
It’s true. I don’t know what it is about me. I bought a Wii that I barely touch, an XBOX that I only occasionally play and so many games that aren’t even open.
I guess the little boy in me who never got to own these things just wanted to have something.
On the way back from lunch today I bought myself some Hello Panda and started snacking away on the Monorail. Vernice looked at me then commented
“How come you like to eat these things one? Like little boy”.
I nodded in shame
“Yes… it’s true. I like Yam Yam and Mamee too and I drink Ribena almost every day. I bet you never had a Boss like that haha”.
So anyway I spent the rest of Saturday afternoon watching Princess get fake stuff put on to her eyes and reading my book.
When I occasionally looked up I would see the sole of Princess’ shoe and that was when for the first time I noticed that the price tag of her shoe was still there.
The result of Princess’ one hour and RM90 fake eye lashes.
Cute huh?
My reward for it…..
“Don’t just sit there and use my laptop Baby… SAYANG ME while I play!”
And she sayanged. HAHAHA.
So that my dear readers is how you negotiate in a relationship! Men… be careful though. Princess told me about how she has a friend who agreed to give her bf a blowjob if he would tell her a secret about someone else she wanted to know about. The bf gave into temptation and gave up the secret but when she heard it she decided on her own that it wasn’t worth the blowjob so she went back on her word!
The poor bf was left with nothing! No secret… no blowjob….
So men…. remember… women can change their minds.
