The Day I Say I Do- 24th November 2012 (Part I)

Yes, I'M ENGAGED. officially engaged to Eugene Koo.

I felt like a Princess. Never ever expected i would get a proposal like this and i feel so loved to be proposed the way it did on the 24th November 2012.

The Proposal Happens like this:

As some of you know, i am packed with business trips for the month of November 2012. From my previous entry on my 1st Vietnam, Saigon trip to the Malaysia, KL trip from the 20th to 22nd November and Hong Kong trip from the 23rd to the 29th November 2012.

Hong Kong, 23rd November 2012 (Friday)

My Director, Sylvia, arranged for Irene and myself to fly in a weekend early to tour around Hong Kong before they head out to Macau for their Global HR conference meeting and i do handover with Anthea before her maternity.

We settled down at EAST Hotel Tai Koo Shing and Irene joined her family for dinner while i headed out my single expedition to Nv Ren Jie. =)

I really enjoyed my first time leisure tour on my own in another country and actually stayed out till 11plus to see a list of Whatsapp from Eugene and missed calls from him as i have no data usage for the trip.

Called him and was a little upset and angry to hear his background at a pub. Its just so disturbing to know that your boyfriend is in a pub happily enjoying himself while i am on a business trip. The least he could was to at least keep me informed.

Hang down his phone and prepared myself to bed.

AT 12.00am, my room phone rang.

Shocked, i picked up the phone to answer the Customer Relationship Manager's call. He mentioned that i have something to be collected personally at the Sky Bar , SUGAR. and he will be on his way to pick me up from my room.

Im lost and confused and frankly, a little scared.

Questions engulfed me.

Is he fake? Is it a scam? Why he needs me up so late in the night? Why cant he send it up to me? Irene should be in bed now? What issit? Was it Sylvia that arranged something for me but i was away the whole night?

When my room door bell rang, i opened to a man smartly dressed in his suit. I was still very much reserved and i think he could sensed my worries, he later presented me a namecard as the Customer Relationship Manager with EAST Hotel.

While i was more reassured, i started thinking and suspecting more wondering a namecard should be easy to be accessed or duplicated. This may be a plot to kidnap me!

Honestly i feel less suspicious when he flashed his staff pass to lead me up to the sky bar as that is one thing that is not accessible to non employees.

While i was still tidying my thoughts, i scattered through the buzzy crowd and the happening music to the bar. And Then, right at the end to my walkway i saw someone familiar. A charming man who had charmed me to accept him as my boyfriend 5 years back.

I WAS SHOCKED! SURPRISED! TOUCHED! not knowing how to react with my shabby tshirt and shorts =_='' *my initial thought was to go upstairs, collect a slice of cake and back to the room

I knew what was coming then, but i just couldnt accept the fact that we are in Hong Kong. He was in HOng Kong, I was on a business trip, explainable. He  should be doing his paper that afternoon but he was there!!!!!!

He did a touching speech , a pretty one. Well prepared and in the view of the staffs and guests, he proposed while i was still trying to settle down my the little deers throbbing against my heart while looking out to the startling night view of Hong Kong island.

He knelt down and proposed infront of at least 30 people (at least in my view).

it was so awkward becos i did not realise he already went on his knees as i was backfacing him, covering my face and exclaiming to myself.

He had to nudge me to turn to him. LOL.

Euguene presented the ring and asked the question.

I NODDED and all i could hear was cheers and congrats. The staff then presented me a bouquet of lovely tulips and toasted us with champagnes.

I seriously was caught off guard. 

I always thought i knew him in and out and everything he tries to plan or sneak.

Yes i admit i am such an ass when i poured a cold bucket on him when he asked me to Sentosa in August 2012 by shooting him with a : Huh? For? Proposal ar??? Huh... so cliche... =( lol..

He was totally turned off i tell you.

We sat down awhile and he tried to clear some of my question marks and i realise that he will be here till Sunday. Just for me..

So wells... let the photos do the talking then =)

 This is me totally obsessed with the ring, the tulips!!! He actually remembers i like Tulips!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 Its so lovely although its just 20 stalks, but its really heavy and i did lugged some petals back to Singapore... Tulips aint like roses that they still keep intact on a stalk when dried.

 I was really surprised that my carat size is much bigger and better quality than i expected. Wells, it just shows i am very easily pleased and my boyfriend fiancee dotes me lots!!!

 And i told you i was worried and i had to leave a note to my boss in case i really got kidnapped lol/.

 OK VISUALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <3 br="br" in="in" love="love" much="much" very="very">

 im happily and blissfully engaged!!!!!!!!!!

 i love you hubby! and thanks for going the EXTRA EXTRA mile to make this trip , proposal a breathtaking and unexpected one. I hope you will keep your words to love me till end of time!
