The Proposal

I've always wanted to have my own house and he knows about it. Friction between my mum and me made me wanted to shift out a few times. He will always assure me that if I really do move out, he'll support me. Once he even offered to rent a room with me. Fortunately, we did not do that. Time pass real fast...soon it was our first year anniversary. Hehe..before that I was already hinting to him to propose to me everytime we had a chance. I wanted to reject him 101 times (just like in that japanese drama), and demand a big diamond ring with 999 roses on the day of proposal. On our 15th mth anniversary, 14th October 2005, he turned up at my house early in the morning. He dropped a card at my door and then called me to wake me up. The card read, "Happy 1st year anniversary....breakfast is waiting for you downstairs." I hurried with cleaning up and rushed downstairs with my present for him...I din know what to buy him..so I bought him a baby turtle. He was waiting downstairs with a sandwich which he made himself and some other food for me. Then he sent me to work. He picked me up at night and I knew he is up to something but not sure what it is. He is never good at keeping secrets from me..but this time he did pretty well. We decided to go to Fisher Man's village for dinner (a place I always loved, the pineapple fried rice there is great!). We had a sumptous dinner, after dinner, we went to one of the bench nearby for a seat. He told me he brought wine and rushed back to the car to get it. He even brought his videocam..funny. I waited for quite a while before he finally showed up with his bottle of wine...and this made me suspicious..but when I saw only the wine and wine glasses in his hands, I knew there was nothing special about tonight. I was thinking, "sighx, no present." and was kinda disappointed.

After the drink, I wanted to go back to the car and go off. As we walk back..he suddenly stopped me and asked me to wait there and close my eyes. Hehe..I always love surprises and can't help peeping, but this time I really kept my eyes closed. He led me by my hand towards the car...when I opened my eyes, he was kneeling down in front of me with a ring in his hands and to my amazement, there was a big bouquet of red roses in the backseat of the car! Wow! As he said the words, "Will you marry me.." I cried. He told me there is 999 roses in that bouquet..I couldn't believe he really did that for me. At that moment, I just feel that it is my best decision to marry him as I know he will take good care of me and love me for the rest of his life.
