..... this day would come so soon for me...
Looking at the one-carat rock on my 4th finger, I cant help smiling to myself and yet, been asking myself if all these is real...
YES! You read it right! He Has PROPOSED! Hehee. Lalaaa. Woooohhh.
Its the best Valentine's Day and CNY year for me in my 27 years! Okok, let me go into the details..
We've been viewing houses, discussing abt our finances and talking about
my rock recently. And from my blog and thru our conversations, he knew that my dream rock is from the BrilliantRose series. He also knew that I'm damn good in predicting his moves and asking him questions by beating around the bush to get my answers... So he really had hard time keeping the secret to himself, and arranging time to head down Sookee to choose and to buy the rock. Hehhee. Okok, to the details.. :)
We had already booked the hotel stay at Hilton Hotel for this Vday a month back. And knowing his pattern, I already warned him not to propose during this hotel stay - which gave him such a huge headache. And worse off, I even blew away his surprise when I peeked into his iphone and found some stuff that he was preparing.. (Big Oppssss!) He got so disappointed and almost gave up in coming up wif a proposal plan. Coupled with the fact that we've been having some arguments over the house and family issue lately, I guess he really had a hard time struggling on how to propose to the extent that he almost gave up. Making matters worse, he fell sick on the night that we checked in the hotel on friday 12th Feb.
The flowers that he pre-ordered from FarEastFlora went missing, and when he called up the hotline to enquire, he got scolded from the operator instead. Called up another few attempts, they have already closed the hotline. Went down to the concierge to check twice, finally got the flowers, but it was not nice at all! It was so sub-standard, as though FarEastFlora was just doing for the sake of doing to the mass market. To top it all off, I was still lamenting to him that the roses were so ugly (Uh Ohhh!)
He went to sleep wif the ring on his finger, hoping that he would have a chance to slip the ring into my finger in the middle of the night - which wasnt easy cos I always tend to sleep on the side, instead of facing up! Three attempts he got up in the middle of the night, and he failed on all three attempts cos I was sleeping on the wrong side - He gave up. (Hahaa!)
Woke up in the morning, went down for breakfast, everything was normal. Went back to nap after breakfast since we were granted a late checkout at 4pm. Halfway thru the nap, he suddenly turned over. I opened my eyes and almost couldnt believe what was right in front of my eyes.. There it was! - TheRock that I've been waiting for! I went stunned for a few seconds... He waiting a few moments for the revealation to set in, before he finally gulped down a few mouths of oxygen and asked "Baby, will you marry me?"
*swoonnnnssss*..........................................
My answer was of course a Yes la! HEhehehe. I don't need a fanciful proposal, neither do I need him kneeling down to propose... All I wanted was a surprise element - And he really DID surprise me at almost the most untimely and unexpected moment! Most importantly, I know the amount of effort and commitment that he has put in, in getting this ring for me..
Thankiew baby, you've made me the happiest and fortunate girl on 13th Feb 2010. =)
