Because diamond is forever

caption tu rupa2nya diambil dari tagline DeBeers ie the famous diamond brand...berlian adalah selamanya...rasanya MZ pernah terbaca somewhere, berlian adalah selamanya kerana/juga bermaksud berlian tak de resale value berbanding emas 916 or 999, so sekali beli, memang utk dipakai/jd milik selamanya, bukan utk dijual atau trade-in etc (even kalau jual pun harga sgt rendah, based on mutu berlian jugak/kena ada certificate mutu berlian kalau nak jual).

so ada apa dgn berlian ni.....

masa MZ balik kg ari tu, my mom ada bagi her diamond ring to me...kira hadiah from my mom to me...

my mom kata, cincin berlian ni, dh berpuluh tahun usianya, my late father yg belikan utk my mom masa dpt duit bonus (dulu my dad keje kat private company nama MTC). It's the time my mom bagi this ring to me, sbb dia dh tak pakai cincin at her age (my mom now 83 yrs old).

My mom masih ingat, harga cincin ni RM800 (duit masa tu, roughly harga 30 years back--MZ agak2 jer sbb my dad dh meninggal pun 16 tahun)---so kalaulah nak beli zmn sekrg, memang agak mahal harga cincin berlian design gini/ie with all these diamonds..

saiz cincin tu ngam dgn jari MZ (middle finger/jari hantu). cincin ni saiz 13, anyway, utk jari manis, MZ pakai saiz 12 or 11, depend on design/tebal nipis cincin.

lambang kasih sayang abadi (pinjam tagline telekung siti khadijah)

so nilah asal usul frasa/sayings "diamond is forever"

salam hari khamis uolls! ptg ni MZ ada online meeting dgn student phd (beliau sekrg kat netherlends), not my student cuma my boss suruh MZ bg view for the thesis, and tonite, MZ dh start balik kelas masters (kelas online 7 weeks and later kelas offline 5 weeks)

have a nice day!
