CNY & V-Day

so many things happen...

let me recap one day by one day.

CNY Day 1
coincidentally is also V-day.

I started the day by heading to Kallang to my grandma's house. There we had yu-sheng and peng cai...for breakfast, juz a small gathering. Usually after Kallang we would head down to Teban Gardens but this year as I had a relative pass away juz two weeks before, they din wan us to go visiting...so might as well we went home to sleep.
Nite was dinner at Ubi. This is quite a special moment cos it will be closer to the time that he's coming to fetch me (cos is also v-day) as well as meet my grandparents. He bought gifts for them. Anyway my grandparents and aunt and uncles as well as cousins were so excited to meet him. We left a while later to celebrate v-day.

We headed to East Coast. Knowing that East Coast Mac would be crowded (even though I love MaCafe Hot chocolate) we headed towards big splash (the playgroud). Since only Starbucks was open, we settle there, the first floor was crowded and he wanted a quiter place (initially I din know why) so we went to the roof top. He got us drinks then set down and chatted. After quite some time later, he present me with his v-day gift; a bouquet of handmade roses (is pink and is handmade by him personally) I was so touched. And I tot that was it. No ... it wasn't...after some time he took out something else... something small... something square... and is a ....ring box!!!
Yes... he proposed to me. I was really shocked. I din know he would do it so early... juz a simple solitire ring. I teared and couldn't say much. And I said yes... as of 14 Feb 2010, I am engaged to Mr Dezmund Soh Chee Liang and we're planning for our future together.
He did not kneel down or said the words directly but he said let this day be our anniversary, the start of our new journey together.
I know is kinda fast but my mum already expected it. We have already booked our flat hoping we will be able to get it. And we're starting to look around for furniture and electronics.

CNY Day 2 while my fiance had his own visitation to do, I also got a lunch appointment with my mum's third sister family (2 tables) and is at Jumbo Seafood restaurant at Clarke Quay. I ate a lot then in the midst, my mum's god brother called and invited us for dinner, thus my sis and I had to rush over to my aunt place at Sim's Drive and head down to Farrer Park to my mum's god brother place for another dinner at Pu Tian Restaurant. So day 2 is really eat and eat and eat and I've put on 5kg... so that practically concludes my day 2. Could not meet my fiance but we know we got to give each other space.

CNY Day 3 nothing much to do, met up with my fiance and we juz hang around Marina Square and went to River Ang Bao. It was mid noon thus the sun was so hot and I got heatstroke. We went for movie and went back to his place cos at nite RC got gathering also. When we reach his house, I was surprise as his relatives are still there. So in the end I had to meet them, kinda paiseh, yup but went through with it. I got a sudden bad headace due to heat stroke but I was ok after I drank some beer at the gathering to cool myself and he was so worried for me. I couldn't eat much. He drove me home straight away and I slept early.

CNY Day 4 is also mum's birthday. He came to pick us up and we went to the temple. Mum wan to pray for the family due to offending the "tai sui" and she asked me and him to pray together. I let my fiance do all the praying while I juz follow him. After that we had lunch at TPY Yum Cha. The WHOLE family is there. My mum, dad, grandma, grandpa, sis and her bf. And my fiance was saying he's having lunch with his "in-laws" that's so sweet of him. Dad sent grandpa home while mum and grandma and sis and bf went to catch a movie then go River hong bao. He and I went over to HDB to check out the 4-room layout. Get some ideas for our future home. We then go all the way to JB to pump petrol then go down to IMM to see more ideas for furnitures. Really planning ahead. He let me drive back from Jurong back to office. I was quite scare as it was peak hours and there were so many cars on the express way. He commented that I lost a bit of control of the car after I drove my uncle's Avante. haha. Guess I am not so used to driving yet.

I really can't wait for the day when we'll be able to move into our new house and start our own family.
So nice to have a term now, "fiance and fiancee"
