Just earlier, I came across a harmless comment made from one woman to another about a bling bling, specifically a very lovely engagement band with an equally lovely (and large) rock topped off with more rocks on the band.

The comment read “It’s gorgeous! Well done!” and I know it’s harmless but I was a little baffled by the well-done part. Just humour me and read on…

At first I thought that she probably meant that the guy did a great job by picking out a sizeable rock. Then if that were the case, it would seem that we place a lot of stock in how material items can best show a person’s sincerity and affections.

The other school of thought is that she was congratulating her friend for nabbing and tying down a rich guy. If that were the case, it would seem that we are still not far off from the whole “Asian women are gold diggers if they are dating Westerners”.

I’d like to think that she meant the former but in good humour. Still, the “well done” seems out of place.

O’well, maybe it’s just me reading too much into stuff. That’s how I like to keep my brain working anyway. Don’t mind me. Just food for thought on a bleary Monday morning. I think I shall go prepare some lunch AND work on my spinning & assignments like coilovers. Geck.
