That Moment

Well, I have lost track of time due to wedding dinners and a baby shower these two days : ( Attended the baby shower of the son of Fat Boy's ex-colleague at Zhou's Kitchen yesterday afternoon. It was great to see his ex-colleagues again, since last year's Kuala Lumpur trip and I must say that the food was good too : ) We went home to nap before proceeding to my SPI friend's wedding at Grand Shanghai - I was very impressed by the Old Shanghai decor the moment I stepped into the restaurant and the food was good too! One of the best weddings I have attended so far : D It would be one of my considerations for my own wedding dinner.

After the celebration ended at 11pm, we headed to TCC in Clarke Quay for coffee and the session ended at about 3am. Too bad some of the guys were feeling lethargic (They woke up at 3am the previous morning) else we would have chatted till dawnbreak. By the time I washed up and my head touched the pillow at 4am, I was gone almost instanteously.

As for this morning, I brought Boyboy to the vet clinic to have him microchipped. I thought it would be an extremely painful process, but it turned out to be quite alright - The vet simply grabbed the back of his neck and jabbed him, all in a couple of seconds : ) The only downside was that I was left 60 bucks poorer (Dammit! Rearing dogs are more expensive than bringing up a kid) Though the vet tried to convince me to have Boyboy undergo a blood test to check for heartworms, I refused to hear any further. 60 bucks was enough to make me feel the pinch for quite a while >: ( Anyway, I have done the necessary documentation and right now, it's waiting for their approval. Once everything is settled, Boyboy will have a license! : )

I have been feeling rather happy these few days, especially last Tuesday : ) I was rather down due to work issues last Tuesday morning and Fat Boy sent me a large parcel via courier and imagine my surprise and happiness when I unwrapped it and saw the Damier Neverfull Louis Vuitton bag! I almost teared when I saw his heartfelt words penned on the back of the tiny card attached to the parcel. Though Sunshine Boy and Yvonne suggested that it might a proposal, I dismissed it as I believed he would do it on our Hong Kong tour.

We met up after work and he drove me to the Jewel Box and I felt lost; I simply had no idea what he had up on his sleeves. He ushered me into one of the cable cars and we began our 1 hour and a half ride. It was a bad experience as I was feeling nauseous (motion sickness?) and I had wanted to get out of the cable car, but after knowing the hefty pricetag of the ride, I decided to bear with it and I must say that I did not finish my main course of chicken thigh and baked potato : / (I think I would puke if I were to push it down my throat) I thanked God when dessert arrived (Not that I loved the apple crumble, but it meant that the ride would end soon) I was also handed a bouquet of red roses when desserts were placed on the table (I actually thought that it was inclusive of the package and I told Fat Boy that it was actually worthwhile. By the way, I was also searching frantically for Ferraro Rochers, which I thought might be hiding between the roses, so much so that I did not notice the golden "Will You Marry Me" print on the roses) Fat Boy became hysterical and egged me to look at the golden prints. I looked at them and realized that it was a proposal : P He then lifted the lid of the dessert platter and I saw a diamond ring seated snugly on top of the apple crumble (It was the diamond ring that he attempted to propose to me and I rejected him flat a couple of years back)

Though feeling excited and joyful, I tried to be difficult and asked him why I should marry him and his reply was a shy "Because I love you" : ) Satisfied, I asked him to put the diamond ring on for me and well, his mission was accomplished! We are getting married! Hahahaha....

Finally going to be a bride...
