A number of people have asked me what I am going to ask doppy for a present for giving birth.
I found the idea / concept disconcerting as I thought it was really strange to be asking my own husband for a present for an act that was supposedly the fruit of our love.
Of course, the reasoning went that it was supposed to be a present for doppy to show his appreciation for me. Yet it is not like he has an easy nine months too. No doubt, I am the one who's carrying a huge watermelon around and wakes up breathless with a blocked nose. I am the one who has to give up caffeine and alcohol and watch everything I eat. I am the one who has suffer the kiddo's kungfu stunts inside my tummy which can be painful at times.
But doppy doesn't have it easy either. He has to lead a chaste life for 9 months or more. He has to do all the household chores (he actually knows how to operate the washing machine and dryer now) and take out the trash (which never fails to make him gag). He is also at my beck and call and has to give me back rubs every night. He has also taken to cutting my toe nails for me as I can no longer reach my toes. Sometimes, he even has to give up his beloved bolster to me.
Thus I thought it is really strange to ask my husband for a present especially since I want this baby as much as he does.
However, the MacBook Air is a real temptation. And apart from this monumental task of giving birth, I have no good reason for such an extravagant gift. :P Afterall, he just got me this laptop last year which has improved the quality of my life tremendously and we agreed then that it should last me for 2 years at least. He has also just bought over his old laptop from his company so between the two of us now, we have a PC and 3 laptops. There is really no good reason to get another notebook.
But did you check out the MacBook Air? IT IS SO SUPER DAMN CHIO LOH!
This is why some of our friends are happy that their wives' taste only run to carbon-rocks. For my penchant for tech-toys is sometimes way more expensive than that something that comes in a little blue box.
To splurge or not to splurge, that is the question! :)
