I just popped the biggest question in my life a few hours ago… And trust me.. for a person with skin as thick as mine… it’s really NOT easy. And to round it up.. the whole process is probably worst than going into BMT…

 Actually.. as most of my MSN buddies know.. I have already booked my solemnization date on the 2nd Feb 08.. bought the rings.. got the dinner package.. applied the date and etc.. And Lydia, like most girls.. always dream of a TV fantasy sort of marriage proposal… Problem is.. on TV the ring the guy buys and proposes always fit the gal.. but thats TV…

 Anyway, so after knowing that Lydia had to attend a friend’s wedding dinner today.. I already made plans of how I intend to propose… but well things didn’t turn out 100% as planned..

 1830HRS - Lydia leaves my home to attend friends wedding dinner… I bid her goodbye and told her maybe I’ll round up the guys later in the evening for some programme..

1835HRS - I started to prepare and get ready myself for the proposal.. I haven’t really been looking in the mirror for such a long time since this year…It practically took me an hour….

1935 HRS - Caught a cab to Far East Shopping Centre.. Orchard Rd was a beautiful sight tonight !

2000 HRS - Went up to the fifth floor at Far East Shopping Centre to get the roses.. WaH LAU EH ! Closed ! Rushed straight down to Tanglin Mall…

2020 HRS - Alamak.. Can’t find a florist in sight… I’m having gastric also as I didn’t eat much the whole day… finally found the roses in the supermarket.. but they are not trimmed and not suitable to give out as a bouquet.. asked the cashier.. only to learn that the florist has left.. she directed me to the nearest florist.. which is around the corner…

2025 HRS - The florist that the cashier earlier on had redirected me… closed. Wah kao !! I could try Trader’s Hotel which was at the back… but….

2030 HRS - ..Traders Hotel is closed…. KNS !! Talk about Suay… Now panicky, sweating, and desperate for flowers… started running around aimlessly to look for flowers..

2035 HRS - Ronald called.. ask me want to go play basketball tomorrow morning… I asked him if he know any florist in orchard.. he said taka.. I told him is BLOODY far away.. He told me good luck than… now I’m upset, desperate.. and having a bloody gastric…

2040 HRS - Ronald called again saying that there is a florist in a very hidden alley just next to Tanglin Mall.. BINGO ! I found it… there was only one lil girl mending it.. probably 13 - 14 year old… bought the flowers(slightly being ripped off).. damn tired.. and damn hungry…

2050 HRS - 2220 HRS - Went to curb my hunger at Mac… than hid around Orchard Parade Hotel…

2225 HRS - My pals finally arrived.. at least it was finally justifiable to bring the bloody tua ling kong camera… we proceeded to wait just outside the ballroom of the wedding banquet…

My Pals than managed to convince me that I should propose outside as it wouldn’t be so nice to gatecrash somebody elses wedding… which means…

We proceeded back to the lobby.. and this time I had to make a call to Lydia, as I may miss her out now that I’m not directly outside the ballroom.. So I made a simple fib, and told her that we are picking her up to go to another place…

Our Solemnisation will NOT be held here on 02022008.

 Anyway… my thoughts for today are… at least I managed to say “Will You Marry Me ?” and I guess this is the first and last time I get to say it…(there’s no other chance !) And it’ll be something that I can share with my kids to come.. (actually.. its more of Lydia’s pride thing.. she was bugging me about her friends and their proposals..)

Than again… read on to see more of our Solemnisation Ceremony to come !

I was sharing with Ms Fluffbluff a link of photos on Hot Babe KT So via MSN… than she sort of started to act a little bit ding dong…(see post)… poor girl…must have had bad experience with woman with big boobs… tsk tsk.

Found this in one of the nhhs kids blog..

Awwwww… really brightens up my day..

Oh yah… I forgot to tell everybody that I just got my hands on the magnificent, beautiful and must HAVE Apple iphone….

… dammit.. it belongs to my sister.

Despite warnings from the folks.. I can’t resist showing how “gim gim ” my folks can be…

Well, 2 cousins just tied the knot in a row,

First by my 堂哥 Jeremy (right side couple)….

Followed by 堂姐 Mary… which leaves me to be the only ONE in my generation to be single left… which will not be long.. heehee * and also gave me a chance to have a look at my nephews…

Wah kao.. damn uncle now.. my face looks like “Hum Jin Bang” now…

This little kid cute ? Very cute right…. =p

Guess who ?

Had a simple weekend after reservist, was helping Vincent with his furniture to his new home… I love his pad’s color scheme !

Just had my convocation with UNISIM today.. was a really…. tiring event. Anyway, glad that its over… at least a burden off me…

Finally, a short rest. September will be a month out of work.. I hope.. got pretty much of commitments thru Reservist and some other matters.. so I’m effectively inactive for work for at least 2 weeks… Finally had time to sit down on my PC to dwell with a little bit of stuff..

For those who already know of my new character (Agent Donald)  that I created.. Haha.. I tried to impersonate him..

My Agent Donald looks so much cuter!

Hmm.. Maybe I can get a lead role in the next 上海滩 ? I’m not really a Chow Yuen Fatt wannabe.. but hey at least I got similar sideburns to Huang Siao Ming.. just thats its not properly trimmed.. =p

Maybe can get me to audition for 2009 ?

Anyway, here are some shots that were taken courtesy of Joan, Seba’s wife…

Was chatting with Mark over a shitty client that he is handing over to me.. and was totally caught in surprised…..

Mark : “Have you watched the Simpsons ?”

Me : “Ya why…”

Mark : ” HAR HAR !” (with the maniac plus mimic resembling Nelson Muntz)

Me: * SHOCKED

Well, I’d never expected that from the dongiveadamn, donbotherme Mark …. it’s either he’s sense of humor has been wickedly growing, or he’s got a closet girlfriend that is a Simpson fan.

oh well…

… he makes a good impersonation though ! *lol

Actually, I look most like…… Ann Kok… but I took her out.

Had a great outing with my now-married friends(and also frequent kakis), Vincent and Sebastian. Along with their wifes & Lydia, we had dinner at Tiong Bahru Market. Bloody Hell ! Paid for super-expensive satay ! 

 Embarking towards Settlers Cafe for board games, we took a wrong turn somewhere near Funan, and was stuck with very heavy traffic at about 10pm… only to find that there were FIREWORKS ! And it was a superb view, that looked like one of those drive-in old school style movie cinema sort of feeling. And like most of the other Singaporeans, stepped out of the car, to catch a closer and beautiful glimpse of the fireworks… fantastic…

After the fireworks display, finally managed to grab a slot at Settler’s Cafe (North Canal Road), which we booked for 2 hours to play 3 different games. The first, a numbers game, much more like a casino sort, in which questions are asked, and than a bet on the answers.. but well, not being too trivia people, we changed for a pretty action packed card game, which was a bit of reaction and memory.. that was very fun.. but we thought we played one of the more popular games that most other tables played.. also known and “Gangs and guns” which is holding a gun, and either shooting a blank or really killing the other players with it.. and than sharing the loot.. interesting.. I wanna play subuteo next time !

Had small chats with the other 2 married man, and their advice on the process.. CHEAP is good.. haha.. =p Also, who says there is no life after marriage, seems like it makes people feel re-borned again.. It’s no longer trying to look good, or being impressive, but being simple and looking towards a comfortable relaxed life..

Also, as most people know, I have now migrated from Blogspot..and much back to the blogging scene once again.. Thanks for all the support for my loyal readers !
