Proposal Surprise

28th June, is such a special date. Besides xxd hatch-day, it was also Bingcai and Lijun's anniversary. This year, he is doing something big on his anniversary too!!! A planned proposal with the help of 2 cheeky boys - Travis and Tristan!

While Mummy is giving birth, Ah yi is bringing the 2 boys to Marina Barrage for the surprise! Packed some goodies and decided to let the boys do some kite flying and mini picnic after we are done with the 'task'.

Flowers from Azalea! 

Since it was my 1st time holding onto a bouquet of 99 roses... It was actually quite heavy and big.

Dad sent us over to Marina Barrage and once we reached, we started to keep a lookout for their whereabouts and we saw a couple sitting on the bench thinking that it was BC and LJ, and made our secretive way over but only to realized that it wasn't them!

Kor and Di was so cooperative that both kept very quiet and held on to the heavy flowers till they almost reached the 'wrong' venue. But Di gave up half way and left Kor panicking as the flower was too heavy for him. Got too scared, Kor blasted out with a cry! Oopps. 

As we turned our head, we saw them at the other side of the bridge! Argh... Needs to convince Kor and Di again to walk over. Slow and steady, Ta-da, surprise!!! They presented LJ with the flowers and soon after Bingcai made a simple speech, he was already on his knees for a reply. 

"YES, I DO", with a few drops of happy tears and a new ring on hand, they are bonded together from this moment onwards, for the better and worst. 

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

May your life together be filled with all the right ingredients: a heap of love, a dash of humor, a touch of romance, and a spoonful of understanding. Through the storms of life, may your love for one another be steadfast and strong.

Wishing you joy and happiness.

 

Both kids did a great job and deserve some play time and good food! 

Proposal, a life time commitment.

Proposal - the very small step to a life-time committment yet the biggest courage that one needs to ask "Will you marry me?" and for one to reply "Yes I will!".

I always think that it takes one a lot of courage to plan and accept a proposal. It is not easy to accept a man/woman for the rest of your life unless you are certain that he/she is the one that you are looking for, and as the vow goes, to be true in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health.

It is easy to fall in love and be head over heels for each other during dating and the question is, how can one continue to love and honour each other for all the days of one's life?

'Forever' sounded meaningless to me all these while as many sad cases have been witnessed. I do not know why, but I felt that this word should be used for my one, and only. I'm pretty sure this time that I've found the man whom I love, and will love forever. For this man, I took on my courage and say "Yes, I will!".

 Many asked:

• How can you be sure that it is him?
• Is HE the one for you?
• So you're certain?

 My answer is:

• You will feel and know it if he's the right man.

I do not have an exact answer to the questions but I'm certain and ready to create a future that belongs to us.

The Proposal

Koh Samui: 5 - 8 September 2011

The trip to Koh Samui was planned as a surprise and I only got to know it a few days before, if I remembered it correctly.

Everything was quite well organized and the only thing that wasn't planned for, was the weather on the proposal day!

Knowing that I will agree to view the sunset with him, he took it as an excuse to return to the room to rest while waiting for the right time to leave for Sunset.

As we made our way to the beach, we noticed that there are a table and BBQ station being set up for private dining. He denied that he was dining there when the staff asked and continued to walk towards to end of the beach to view the sunset and took some random pictures.

Surprise 1: He arranged for private dinner, by the beach with a perfect sunset view.

Surprise 2: After having our 1st, 2nd course of food served, an Acapella group appeared and started the entertainment of the night. What's better than to have beautiful voices and music to accompany us for a night like this.

While we are still trying to finish the plate of BBQ food, sky starts to turn cloudy with really strong wind and seemed like it might rain anytime. Being tasked with the most important job, the 'service staff' have to check and asked if they can serve the dessert already as it might rain anytime. He nodded and gave clearance to have the dessert served.

Surprise 3: When the service staff returned with a huge box, I seriously thought it's gonna be a cake. then again, the box is too big to contain a cake.

It was a carefully hand-crafted 'MARRY ME' words in the box... It still looks like a cake to me upon opening. It was only upon touching, then I realized it was not! Good workmanship I would say ^.^

Surprise 4: Following quick after opening the box, he kneeled down and popped the very important question to me with a ring on his hand, pulling out from his pocket. The moment was really fast and i guess the only reaction that I could have was to say "Yes, I will", and got him up on his knees. It was clear in me that, Yes is the only answer that I want to give, for a man whom I love, and loves me dearly too.

Surprise 5: Background music was changed to 月亮代表我的心 swiftly, and he started singing. To me, this song was more than meaningful. There will be flashbacks on how we got together and how we have heard this song at Bintan while dining. It was being sang by a group of Acapella too then... "輕輕的一個吻 已經打動我的心 深深的一段情 教我思念到如今..."

Thank you love, for all the special arrangements and time taken with careful thoughts to HIDE it from me.
 

I love you!
