Trip Summary

a couple of hectic weeks since returning from Guangzhou.

had a couple of meet-ups over my birthday.

mr ma, sweet as ever, delivered a cake. And i also met d gals at Pasta de Waraku at Central, followed by a few drinks (and lotsa gossips & catching up) at Helipad. Ling returned from Korea with Faceshop masks, chocs, lapel pin from Jeju's teddy bear museum for everyone, and my ginseng powder! at $100 for 100g, i must (try to) religiously consume it.

after avenging my disappointed soul with a couple of (expensive) sprees, i've finally managed to upload most of d pix for d trip from our digicams.

whilst those on film are.. er.. still sitting nicely on my table awaiting my lazy bum to proceed for development. oops.

till then, here are d links to d pix...

The Proposal

Never expected him to do it,

but he did.

it was a Sunday and long weekend, so it was especially crowded that day with a long queue for the gondola rides.

but he actually booked the entire canal, such that we were the only ones with a gondola. he conspired with the gondolier, who ushered me onto the gondola first. then he was saying "ladies first" but his friend's wife suddenly paused on the steps and took out her camera. i didn't really suspect anything as i thought she merely wanted to take a photo of the lush gondola with nice red padded seats. it was really pretty.

then once i sat down, he propped out the Cartier ring box and went on his knees.

i was totally stunned.

the funny part was that i was too occupied with wiping my tears and picking myself out of the shock, i forgot to accept or reject him.

he mumbled "快一点，很多人在看嘞". LOL.

everyone clapped and whistled. so embarrassing, but it was really memorable and i'm glad he did propose afterall.
