And i went, 'huh, but it's so early. Lets go somewhere to chill.' Then i suggested Kepple bay which the big guy didn't sound too enthusiastic about.
After a couple rounds of 'where should we go', i was officially 'sian-ed'. It's been 3 years and that's the end to the night? Surely we could go for coffee!!
Out of the blue, i spotted a car in front full of soft toys. I immediately squealed in delight. Isaiah too was laughing at how silly i was. Then the outrageous idea popped out of my mind, 'let's follow the car!!' Officially influenced by my silliness, he agreed to it. The decision was to follow the car filled with soft toys until we reach a nice place to chill at.
Halfway through ECP, he took out my bandana and said, 'let's make this more exciting, blindfold yourself so it will be a surprise where the car in front goes'. Since we were in the mood for silly things, i readily agreed. All through the trip i kept asking if the car was still in sight... obviously i totally didn't expect the next thing...
He stopped the car and led me (blindfold still on) through a really bumpy road (i was wearing killer heels. my special occasion heels!). By then i was convinced that he was lying and we were obviously at Keppel Bay (he just wanted to make it seem like it was his idea. hahah). At the end of the bumpy road, he suddenly went, 'take off your blindfold'.
Standing by him, he asked if i knew the place. Blinded by the sudden lights, i turned around and looked hard. The place was familiar ... but i can't figure out where.
When i turned back to him, i saw him on his knees with the ring in this hand. 'Marry me,' he said.
All i could muster after 10/15 seconds of stunned silence was, 'i'm not sure'.
I found out later that he was about to kill me for this response. His actual words were something along the line of... the movies always have girls calling their best friend to tell the whole world. Why is it different? Ha.
Anyhow, i agreed after another 15 seconds of stunned silence. It was a weak and feeble, but still a response that would change my life, 'ok'.
There you go, a brand new world ahead of us.
We were at Prince Georges Park, NUS.Can't find a picture of the playground we were at. But these are pictures of my hostel when i used to live in NUS.
The playground was the place where my friend and i sat and chatted. The main topic being whether i should accept this guy ... who in 3 years time would be my fiance.
I can't get over how sweet that was. To remember something i said in passing so long ago. And to put in so much effort... Thank you darling :)
