Double Take

It was one of those rare days where Jo got off early from work. Since we had the evening ahead of us, we decided to head to one of our favourite joints, which was, at one point of time also our second home. We managed to find a park near the entrance minutes after we entered the carpark, much to our surprise. It was only later that we found out that Mid Valley had revised their parking rates.

Gone were the days where you got to park your car for RM 1.00 for the entire day. Guess the MV complex management got a little wiser!

Anyway, we continued our ring hunt as we had not been scouting for some weeks now. And so we headed for Selberan, the birth place of Jo's engagement ring. We were a little disappointed with their wedding range as there were not many choices. The only consolation was that they custom made rings to your preference.

On to our next stop, Love Diamond. We had passed this shop many times before but never actually set foot in it because it looked classy and I guess we didn't have any reason to before this.

Theirs was a different concept altogether. There you get to choose the design of your ring, then the thickness of it and finally the type of finishing. We found it pretty amusing and you could say it is custom made to a certain extent.

We spent some time considering our options and settled on two rings which we then asked for a qoute. The salesgirl told us that she would check with the factory and that she would give us a call the following day to let us know.

Well, off we were to dinner when we got a phone call from Love Diamond. Apparently, a colleague of the salegirl's had offered to work out the price for us on the spot and they had called us back to the shop.

When we got there, we were introduced to the other salesgirl who coincidentally was the same salesgirl who had sold Anderson the engagement ring from Selberan. She had recognised us when we were in the shop earlier and decided to do us favour.

So much for Anderson choosing a plain band ... it still cost way more than Jo's band even though there were some diamonds embedded around hers!
