::: i am now his fiancee :::before i start, i would like to assure you that i am still using livejournal, just that i'm not ready to break the news to the general public, so i'm not going to post it there cause i have no idea who's reading my blog at the moment (though i'm sure it's just a small handful of people). as of now, only 3 friends know, that is, belle, jan and kai. i know you all will help me to keep it a secret until i'm ready to tell people of this happy news, but of course i want you guys to know it 1st! it's not that i'm being secretive and all, but i just don't have the answers to "when ROM & dinner? which hotel? etc" right now, and i just want to bask in the happiness of becoming his fiancee. =)
actually this wil just be a narrative of what transpired the whole day til he proposed. also as part of the chronicles of my life.
++++
i was grousing abt being split betw choosing ritz and fullerton awhile back right? he was the one who told me he wanted to stay out. and so to ritz we went. we had the marina view this time, it is so very nice!!!
so we went shopping and watch pirates of the carribean 2. so very funny la!
we went to glutton's bay for dinner and it was a horrible experience (too many people, super long queue and mediocre food). we then headed to max brenner's for fondue and waffles (which i say was also a disappointment). but we were very full and headed back to the hotel for an early night.
the ritz room is very romantic at night (maybe cause of the lighting) and we just wore the bathrobes and sat at the comfy sofa chatting with each other. somehow, throughout the whole day, he always steers the convo towards proposal and how do i want him to propose to me? i should have caught the hint, but i was just being super glad that my boyfriend is finally willing to talk about his proposal (cause he always runs and hides when anyone brings up the topic). okay, back to ritz. and so we sat in the sofa in our thick comfy bathrobes with a wonderful romantic atmosphere and just talked to each other.
1st, he asked me whether i felt bored with him cause we seem to be spending alot of time just chilling at home and not out having fun and he's afraid that he no longer provides the excitement of dating.
2nd, he asked me if i was willing to take care of him next time when we get married. i.e. be his yellow-faced-woman la.
i din find it weird cause he always asks me this sort of qtns.
then he led me to sit on top of the sofa, facing the window that looks out into the marina bay and cbd area.
this is the night view that we looked out at... very super romantic.
sitting there allowed us to see esplanade, and he led the discussion into the day we got together at the esplanade and the events that transpired then, and how he held my hand. we just reminised about that special day and it felt super sweet.
however, by then i was half asleep already, i.e. my eyes were closing, but he led me to the bed and sat me there in the middle of the right ride of the bed (right side of the picture).
then he asked me if i will marry him, i looked at him and said that he knows the answer to the qtn, but i will not say yes until he has some 表示, ie. flowers and a ring. by then i really wanted to sleep already. then he pulled me to my feet, lifted the pillow, took out a big box, opened it, kneeled down, and asked me if i will marry him.
i was totally shocked and stared at the ring with tears welling up in my eyes. i seriously did not expect him to propose to me. i mean, this man here loves me so much that he wants to marry me, wants me to be his wife. totally never imagined it happening to me la!!! so i just hugged him and cried and did not answer him. he hugged me back and took my left hand and put the ring on my 4th finger.
and this is how i became his fiancee.
no flowers, no frills, just simple romantic-ness and alot of love.
like he calls it:
the ultimate expression of love. =)

just wanted to share the story with you.
sorry for the broken language and plain narration.
up till now, almost 24 hours later, i still find it hard to believe that he actually proposed to me and that all these is not a dream. somebody pinch me pls.
OUT.
