Quote of the day
Fab proposed to me on 11/11/11.
He told me that we were going to celebrate a friend’s birthday who had booked a villa at Capella. Little did I know that I would be on my way to becoming his fiancée.
Fab picked me up from work and we had a nice dinner at Shin Kushiya at VivoCity. As we were supposed to be at the villa only at 9pm, I decided to shop for accessories for my new handphone. I took my time to search and ended up buying a Tenderheart key chain for Fab. Why Tenderheart? A story for another day I suppose.
Unknown to me, he was actually panicking and wanted to hurry me up to be at the villa at 9pm however I took my time to window shop. We finally headed to the island and I did wonder why driving into Sentosa was free of charge, I even thought aloud if there was a promotion that day.
We parked the car and a buggy chartered us to the villa as it was some distance away. I did wonder why we didn’t have to ring the doorbell when we arrived and why the villa was so quiet when there were so many pairs of shoes at the door. I pushed the door and the room was dark and there were candles on the floor forming a path towards the sliding door across the entrance. I looked up and saw Eric snapping a picture. I turned back to Fab and asked him, “Who is this for?”.
Then I was led to the sliding door and I was able to see the words “Marry Me” through the blinds, then did it struck me that this is for me. My special day.
The blinds were raised and at the same moment I realised there we have complimentary music, Grace the bassist and May the singer, singing “Stand By Me”. I stepped out of the door into the pool area and looked around to see his colleagues and friends around.
Fab knelt down and picked up the ring from the box which was lying on the float with the candles “Marry Me” and roses. I seriously didn’t remember what he said as I was too overwhelmed and when he finally popped the question, I asked him if I could consider the proposal. He said I couldn’t and at that moment I knew what I wanted but it felt weird to say “yes”.
I automatically removed a ring from my hand and held it up to him and said yes. I know.. It’s so unglamorous..
He put on the ring and we hugged each other, while someone release the party popper and lighted sparklers. Oh.. Did I mentioned that I was crying too.
Everyone was taking photos and we were hugging and receiving well wishes from them. It was a very sweet and memorable day.
We tried to clear up the place as it was a mess after Fab was being thrown into the pool, we gave up and called the hotel to get cleaners to clean up the place while we went out for dinner at Food Republic outside St James. Yes dinner again, everyone hadn’t eaten any dinner at all and I felt so sorry for them.
I really like to thank everyone who took the time and effort to make this day a special one for me and Fab. I love you guys! Muackz!
Btw I love my ring, the main stone is a colour changing sapphire, purple under yellow light and blue under white light. Isn’t it beautiful?
Thank you everyone for sharing our joy! ^^
