surprise

My boyfriend has been hinting for me to expect something special from him. I think I know what it is (because I am naturally good at guessing game) and I think it's something expensive. But I don't think I'd appreciate it.

I told him over and over again that I do not want that thing he thinks every woman wants because I am just not that sort of lady.

Previously, he had bought me a few expensive gifts but in the end, they are all tucked safely in my room. I'd rather have something more practical than glamour. I am not comfortable wearing expensive things because they make me overly concious about myself whenever I wear them.

But even after those numerous reminders, warnings and proves (that I just don't wear them), he still thinks I am just being polite and humble! I told him I'd give him my own list for the perfect gift so he could just pick one, but he rejected the suggestion because that wouldn't be a surprise. Hmm...True...But...

How do I make him take me seriously? Nak ketuk kepala, tak boleh, he is away right now.

Lelaki ni, kalau kita bagi hint, he cannot get it, bila orang cakap direct, dia tak paham juga.

Or perhaps, I just have to start teaching myself to make use of the things given to me.
