The all-important symbol of the modern-day marriage proposal – the solitaire. Women just love it. Some flaunt it with obscene vulgarity, some quietly wear it trying not be to too obvious that they want it to be seen. Somebody even cooked up a silly theory that the cost of the rock should be at least X times the salary of the guy. I have a conspiracy theory that it was either cooked up by a jeweller, a con woman or the diamond consortium.
Like the words in the second photo, all the rest of the words become a blur after some time 
On a separate note, I took some photos for the Warden today, so that she can sell some of her stuff online. I had to help her because the stuff is all piling up in my house.

Nice ring! I pray that Cynthia doesn’t read this entry as … that would remind her the ring that I have sort of promised long time ago.
How come picture of your wife with no head and toe ah?

Yes, the ring is indeed beautiful, would be around 0.8 carat diamond?

Yes, women like lots of “carbon”! And they feel that the more “carbon” they got from men means how important they’re! ;p

Wilfrid, sorry if this entry caused any inconveniences
Warden does not like her pictures shown on my blog. Her name included.

ECL, it is actually less than 0.8 carat. Trick is to get a really thin setting for ring, so that the rock looks bigger

Hahaha Dora, that’s a lot of carbon compressed together! I think men usually just go along with the “tradition” because they want to make the women happy.
