Cupid Strikes

Do you believe in cupid strikes? Haha. I don’t since growing up as a Muslim, I always believe that Allah S.W.T has determine one’s jodoh. But having said that, I must admit that I kind of like the whole concept of cute chubby boys with wings, armed with bows and arrows ready to strike two souls and make them fall madly in love, is pretty cute.

Hmm...imagine a situation where you are in a lift with that special someone. The distance between you and that special someone is not that close, but you can hear your heart beating faster as if it was about to pop out from your chest...your palm is sweaty...you can’t catch your breath and you feel like you are going to have a panic attack??!. The cupid must have strike his arrow la kan and I’m not finished. Haha. Imagine that the feelings that you feel are so special, magical and indescribable but you just stayed silent and never mentioned anything about it to that special someone....BUT only to find out later that he was feeling the same way towards you... 

And your heart just dropped when you heard it! Haha. That was how I realized that I could be falling for this guy, my now fiance.

I mean you won’t feel that way if you don’t like that person right??

P/s on that very night, he asked me if I wanted to be his girlfriend. It didn’t take me long to answer as I was already smitten by him...  Wink Wink

The Proposal...

Since this is my very first entry, I thought of sharing my proposal story as this would mark the beginning of a new chapter in my life.

My fiance and I have been dating for around 6 years now (I think 6 years is probably the time when we girls start to wonder if the guy is ever going to propose or not right??). Hmm... even though we come from a totally different family background with me being a Malay and he being a Chinese, we both knew that we only wanted to be together...considering the fact that we have been together for a long time and have been through many obstacles together...

But unlike most couples, the marriage route is definitely not an easy route for us (especially him). There are many things to be considered and also a lot of hati and perasaan to be taken care of. So we both agreed to just wait until it is the right time (though I must admit that it kills me when I’m not sure how long more I should wait...haha)...

But it was on the 7th of July 2011 when he picked me up from my work place and took me to one of the most romantic restaurants that I have ever visited. (We were listening to songs by Westlife during the entire time we were in the car...which is not his typical playlist. He even menyanyi along with a couple of the songs...though he didn’t get most of the lyrics right. He did that to set a romantic mood. Lol). 

After being stuck in a traffic jam for almost an hour, we finally arrived at the Teeq Brasserie restaurant which is situated at the rooftop of Lot 10 ngam ngam on time as he has made an earlier reservation. The ambience of that place couldn't have been any more romantic and we had a great meal especially the cheese glazed fried prawns...

 

Halfway through our meals, he then recited some romantic words (which what seemed like vows) and pulled a ring and popped the one million dollar question that I have been wanting to hear;

He: Hmm, B, will you marry me (while holding the ring)?

Me: Puzzled. (Even though I actually knew beforehand that he was going to propose and was fully aware of the fact that he had bought the ring a month ago, I still somehow could barely speak).

He: Repeated himself.

Me: Still speechless.

And then he looked at me and said...

B..........Uhm........I want to marry you......... and I would ask you to marry me over and over again..... at a different time and place until you say yes. Uhm.....I would never give up on us...

Me: Melting gila and happily said YES!

Well, even though he didn’t get down on his knees like all those romantic comedies, it was still beyond sweet. I’m praying hard that he is my jodoh sent by God until eternity. Amin.
