First Step..


The first weekend is to feel what wedding preparations should be.  Went to Pan Pacific Wedding Fair and indeed, their balloon is impressive.  It comes with a price.  We like everything there but due to budget constraint, we have to 忍痛 and say no..

It's still a long way to the actual dinner and we agreed not to make any impulse decision.  There's still many weekends full of wedding and bridal fairs..

Acceptance..

各位观众, thank you for all your support.  I did it!  Though not really up to plan but she still accept my proposal~  

It's already 4pm and she didn't called.  Odd..  It means that darling hasn't received the flowers.  How come so long?  The call came at 4.30pm.  Oh, she went for excusion.. Duh~  

It's really scorching in the noon, afraid that the car is too warm and will burst out all the balloons.  I drove to turf city at about 5.30pm, trying to let the balloons have a long floating period.  It was really hot in the car and the only way to cool the interior is to tune the air-con to the maximum.  Luckily when I reached balloon r'us, it starts to rain..  Steady la.. Took 20 balloons with lots of eyes staring at me while I walked to the carpark.  Weird.  LOL.. But the next challenge is, how can I place all the balloons into the boot alone??  As it's still raining, I could see an ah ma waiting for his husband to collect the car.  Funny thoughts~  "Auntie ar, can help me take the balloons while I collect the car?" Imagine 70 year old ah ma holding 20 heart shaped balloons?  LOL..  Took some effort to put every balloon in but still manage to did it without bursting any..  Went straight to meet darling after that.  

Had our sky dining meal in the cable car but darling don't seem to be enjoying.  Sigh..  After the meal, the highlight of day starts.. Gotten an excuse to bring her to a new place, which is Henderson Wave.  Parked the car by the side as planned and took a short walk in.  At that time, there was no car around and I thought it won't be that malu at least.  But to my disappointment, we just took a 5 mins walk and about to get to the car.  2 cars came. . Sianz.. I thought of stalling for time and luckily that 2 cars drove off within mins..  Now, the part comes..  I opened the boot and..... the 3rd car came.  Wah lao!  Di Di Xiao Xiao..  For the next 10 mins, 1 car came one after another..  Lu Geng Sianz..  I have to come out with an excuse that there's flying cockroach near the car to prevent us from leaving and thus stalling the time.  Super lame!  Finally when the 风声 not that tight, I quickly did the once-in-a-lifetime thing by man..  You can imagine the rest..  

On the way back, darling told me something.  She knew the plan all along!!  Arrgh.. She saw my message weeks back about this plan..  Wah lao x2.. Sianz.. But nonetheless, darling still accepted the proposal..

Recee

Went recee-ing yesterday night to Mt Faber to check out my kneeling spot. Apparently, there are no good spots that can have a clear night view and stand by the car. While driving down, I saw a separate route up to the mountain and then I saw the way towards the Hort Park. A good view while parking illgeally. You have been chosen!

Went over to bloomsdale to check out flowers to be sent to her on her birthday.
I'm going to send this to surprise her in school!!

Pinky~

The Proposal Plan

Fats, Gang and I head down to Turf City to prepare for the proposal plan. Initially, I thought of holding it at the Padang, since it's the first place we met. Darling and I is suppose to walk down the Supreme Court stairs and suddenly 5 dudes(The usual bunch of course) appear from the pillar wearing my pre-drawn T-Shirts saying 嫁给我吧! At this moment, I will do the necessary drill but due to lack of manpower, the plan is rejected.

After much consideration such as Singapore Flyer (Too common), Hotel (Too splurgy), Surprise Party w/all her friends in Chalet (Wkdays, Friends not NA), In her school assembly (I will be STOMP right away), I decide to make it simple and sweet. I will send her, her once-in-a-lifetime 99 pink roses to her school in the morning (Not sure will she smell anything funny?) but that is to bring out the anticipation. Then bring her to our first anniversary dinner spot, the Sky Dining! After the dinner, a walk to the top of the mountain is inevitable. I will then open up the car boot pre-filled with helium balloons and when all starts floating up, I will do the drill with the last balloon tie with the ring. Simply but I believe its sweet.

Ok, back to the Turf City. If you google for balloon makers in Singapore, you probably will find only one that is located at TC. I need to find out how many balloons do I need and how long it will last. Most importantly, can it withstand the heat in the boot. There's only one way to find out. I gotten a few and stuff it in Fats car boot. While on the way to Orchard, one blown. 5 hours later, everything is fine. When we open up the boot, another is gone without waving goodbye to us. The rest was like 'not flyable'. I remember the ballon guy told me that it will last for max 4 hours outdoors so I believe he is right.

I will need to start the dinner at 7pm and finish by 9 in order to have the balloons is mint condition. Will need to get to TC by 6.30pm, pick up the balloons, stuff it in the car and fetch darling. This is my proposal plan.

It's Here...

Took a day off today to get the ring. Told darling that Siteh is giving us her birthday treat and she is mad at me for taking day off for the slightest reason. Nevertheless, I did that to get the ring. Let see how will she apologies to me once she sees this. LOL..

The first reaction from Fats was 'It's TL!(Tua Liap)' Perhaps its because I told them prior that I do not want to hear anything bad from their mouth simply because I spent a bomb on it.

Here's how it looks like.




I really like this setting. It's not named Tiffany for nothing.

I will now need to prepare my box. Placing Kiki&Lala on the top of the box should be an easy job now I'm not sure if some sequins are necessary.
