The Proposal (Part 2)

Voyage de la Vie™ was spectacular. I was captured by every moment of it.

The tickets were free (my mgr gave them to us - incl. my colleagues and my GM) and we had very good seats.

My bf almost fell asleep during one part, but most of the time he was enjoying the show. My GM was sitting beside him, obviously uncomfortable with my bf's constant fidgeting throughout the show.

As the local saying goes, his backside is 'sharp'.

We headed for some cheap ramen and then photo taking. All was well.

At night, we had booze and nuggets and drinks by the pool bar at Cafe Del Mar.

This picture was copied fr some website. At night, it was much cooler and more romantic.

Nothing exciting but it was quietly romantic.

Back at the room, I fell asleep after a huge bowl of XO seafood cup noodles, halfway through "500 days of Summer".

The rest of the night was hazy - I think I woke up twice. Once to the toilet to pee.

I (washed my hands) and snuggled up to my bf in bed. I thought he was asleep. I think it was about 6am or so.

With his back facing me, he said softly,"Baobei, you are not observant enough."

I was like ' ? '
"Why do you say that...?" I was drifting back to sleep.

"Look to your right."

"Huh?"

He switched on the bedside lamp. I groaned and squinted at the bedside table.
Sitting on the table, was a maroon small box with a ribbon.

Soo Kee

Gasp.

I grabbed the box and moved it to the pillow beside him. I opened it without hesitation. Eyes wide opened, I was quiet for several seconds.
Sitting snugly in the box was a gleaming heart shaped diamond ring, poised for its owner.
There were 7 (0.24ct) bigger and 12 (0.05ct) smaller diamonds.
Total 19 : 1 + 9 = 10!

I wanted to cry.

He did not pop the question. Instead...

"You have to marry me."

Practically speaking, the proposal statement was true.

We already booked our flat and paid the deposit for our pre wedding shoot.

I wouldn't really back out now, even if he didn't propose.

(And actually his initial plan was to propose at the chalet which he had to cancel at the last minute... because of me.)

It was a wonderful 10.10.10 morning
