So the other day, we had a family luncheon (as usual) to celebrate one of my nieces birthday.
Asked the bro on what presents the niece would like
Clothes? - out - they have lots of clothes
soft toy? - out - they have lots of soft toys
Jigsaw puzzle? - out - they have lots of jigsaw puzzles, all kept in the storeroom as there's no place to hang
Kids... nowadays.... are so lucky....
I didn't even have a barbie doll nor played with one when I was young.
I had to ask for toys and most of the time, it was a "no"
I had hand-me-down clothes when young, from my bros... and i got no sisters...
I had new clothes during the Chinese New Year, more likely...
So anyway, their latest interest is in legos.
Which is most kids' interest recently....
Asked the bro on which ones they like
And the task fell on me to search
It's nieces, by the way, as according to the bro, it is not nice to give presents to one while the other had to wait a few more months for hers
oooook......
Took pictures at the shops
Sent to the bro for approval...
Ended up with "wait! Let me check with the gals first!" 0.0
and "what's the budget?"
There goes the surprise!
Oh well... better to get something they like rather than not, right?
So I waited...
They came up with a list
5 choices each
and their top choice....
was about or over usd100 0.0
And the choices were slightly different from what the bro said. lol!
Me to the bro
"hallo?! it's sgd100, not usd100! how did they came up with this list?!"
bro "dun know. they search for it themselves. Just go with their secondary choices then"
they are good......
usd100..... hmm......
I gave him 2 combination of choices
He came back with another one....
One $98, one $102 choice.... 0.0
Bro : "Get the $102 choice and I will pay for the $2 extra" 0.0
ok loh....
End of story....
I didn't get the $2...
The nieces are happily playing with their gifts now..
