14.02.10. This day filled with happiness and joy. The Tiger has brought me luck and love. Both of which happened on the first day of Chinese New Year (and also Valentine’s Day). These gave me hope and I see a prosperous year ahead.

The Proposal

It was Valentine’s Day, but with Chinese New Year falling on the same day, the latter overpowered. Having spent the entire day visiting and preparing/hosting the relatives at home, I was glad to spend some quiet time with Abang for dinner. Took a stroll to digest the food and that’s when the things slowly happened.

There was no fancy flowers nor expensive dinner. No drama nor exaggerated actions. It was simple, sweet and emotional. I was expecting this to happen much much later, so I was really caught in surprise when he asked it. Took me couple of seconds to absorb those words, “Will you marry me?”.

I hugged him so tightly he could hardly keep his balance, and tears of joy just kept flowing down my cheek. Really didn’t expect this to happen so soon.

I know there are still many unknown outcomes and unanswered questions. But I really want us to receive full blessings from both our families and friends, no matter which path we ultimately decides to take. I don’t need no grand wedding nor expensive gown. I don’t need no big diamond ring either. All I ask for is for true blessings and a comfy home for both of us.

The proposal may have taken place, but what’s to come next may take some time to plan and save up for. Not forgetting the many decisions which we (and our families) will have to make and accept.

Thanks to all friends and tweet folks for your well wishes!

My best friend is getting married in January 2010 and doing her wedding shoot next week. Was trying to find shoot locations for her and it took a little time. Since I’ve got few friends who should be getting hitch soon, I decide to compile a list here. Will update the list when I’ve more that comes to mind. Also a good reference for myself. *coughs*

Year 2010! This is the year where so many important events will be taking place. Personally, work wise and nation wise.

2010 is a very nice number and it being an “even” year makes it even more meaningful. Don’t you see that most of the major events around the world surrounds the “even” year?

Yes, I am labeling this as “Part 1″ because there will be many posts upcoming that will be related to the count down for 2010. I is very excited lah!

So, for Part 1, I am going to dedicate to YOG2010.

To commemorate the countdown to Singapore YOG2010, the organizers gave out limited edition pin on Twitter. I chanced upon it and spread the tweet out too. And for doing so, and hash tagging it with #singapore2010 I got myself this cute little pin…

Yap, that’s how cui I look… lack of sleep and rest and unhealthy diet is NOT good for your health! Don’t do it! For me, its bo pian.

Anyway, behind the card printed…
