The Watch Thread - Part 4

[Vanilla Way]

On leave today.

Woke up with kids. Sent them to school. Sent wife to work and had breakfast together.
Now going back to wax the car. Later pick kids from sch and meet wife for lunch and shopping.

Life is good

Oh! I love to be on leave. Maybe I'm just a sadist knowing that I have all the time in the world to do what I like while my colleagues are slogging away. Muahaha..

A good breakfast is a must! Nothing beats the feeling of starting an awesome day with a good breakfast and aroma of hot coffee.

I see, thanks for replying. What is your holy grail watch?

There's a few pieces out there that I like. But have yet to give a thought which is the ultimate grail for me. Afterall, I've seen pictures but don't really have a chance to molest all the watches.( Regular girl next door that doesnt visit ADs and boutiques much )

What's yours?

 

[iamvintage]

Haha..! "interest sparked off while looking for a husband" - must research which is most expensive right den go fish for guys wearing those is it? Most girls out there see rolex as a big thing I suppose? Little do they know it's not even the most expensive and exclusive.

My guy just a regular seiko guy when he proposed. But I'm lucky enough to have him. Hopefully I can stand by him to see him work his way up to enjoy the finer pieces.

Coffee person? I have yet to have mine too, just settled down in office and made myself a cup of expresso long. Really need the energy boost..

Very happy to see such love for one another. Just based on what you said, you and your fiance are very lucky to have each other. Enjoy each other's company and (to see the government's campaign) have more of the next generation cos you merely look after the watches for the next generation

I'm more of a tea person but branching out towards coffee

No lah get the sub date, comes with iconic cyclops and a very useful date function.

my date watch, so far have 2.. usually gets stagnant for ard one mth... have to wind the date whenever i wear them.. so sometimes i rather pick the one without date and off i go...

im still thinking between subc nd, gmt2c or maybe the hulk or the batman. the green color initially doesnt sing to me, but saw a few colleagues wearing.. like think its not that bad actually.

Ooooohhh. Hahaha! No lah, doesn't work that way for me. :

If I do function that way, he's gotten need more than a bambino

yar i noe wat gals want la. Handbags like miu miu, prada. Or diamonds, the bigger carat the better. But clarity is much more important actually. Cos big doesnt mean more shiny. Smaller can even outshine the bigger carat ones if the grade is better. diamonds are gal's best friend?

I'm a tea person in the afternoon and whenever I feel like it
Tea is lighter and I particularly enjoy green tea after lunch.

Me for one enjoy watches more than bags. My proposal ring is only .42 carat and I still love it.

I guess it depends on individual? Maybe I'm not wired like most women. I don't really enjoy shopping and only head down to shop when I really need something. I dont do pedi/manicures because I think it's a total waste of time and money (study shows that when guys look at a woman, nails constitute only 2% of the whole body)

pal, I think you may need some help.

there is no need to fight any depression or any sort. it's all in your head. others have better watches, better cars, so be it. Life is never fair - how you deal with it is important. If I were to be envious or jealous of the other people here, there would be no end to my wants, and with it comes suffering. I would be jealous of Azrielsc's maserati, triste's watches, and iceflight's errr..... everything (I don't even know where to start ahhaha). But I'm happy and comfortable where I am. You should, too.

In fact when the others get their watches, be it high end or mass market, we are all happy for them. I believe most of us, if not all of us, here are mature adults and are well beyond the stage of "you have, I do't have, so I must be a loser" mentality. Instead of focusing on the things we do not have, focus on the things we have and be happy with it; and these are things we often take for granted.

I took my paternal grandpa for granted until the day he slipped and fell in the toilet and passed away. I took my maternal grandma's cooking for granted until the day she suffered a stroke. I have learned to be contented with my lot in life.

Perhaps you should go help with some charity and volunteer work - not to compare with the needy and feel all superior, but as a therapeutic process. It puts your mind off to something more meaningful and in the process, do good with the time.

I do have all the money in the world - MY world that is. But I will always be ready to give it all up if my family wants me to, or should any unforeseen circumstances happen.

There is a lot more to life than being envious of others' success or worldly possessions; feeling happy for them is definitely high on the list.

(Honestly I hope others will be jealous of my good looks but...... it never happens )

nimpeh u are either extinct or belong to an older generation. Now no young meimeis dont do nails de. Nails is my gal's favourite hobby hor, one time sit few hours & i have to go shopping walk myself. Its not waste of $ la, its just a form of destressing & self indulgement, just like why so many uncles & aunties here enjoy watches so much, even though most people dont really take a lot of notice on whats on the wrists.
