Warning: Long post ahead so that years down the road I can read this and remember every single detail 😉 So if you’re not interested in reading all the lovey dovey mushy stuff, please skip to the next post and don’t puke!

I cannot believe that he actually made me deliver cupcakes to myself at the blocks outside our secondary school as a proposal surprise. Let’s just say that this proposal is the best of both worlds to me. I know many girls love their proposal to be at hotels because its grand (nothing wrong with that of course), but I have always wanted something really thoughtful that I can look back years down the road. And I’m still reeling from the shock that it actually happened. Of course, thanks to his awesome friends, especially Nicholas who helped him with this idea and planning too!
Tbh, I already knew this was coming because we had to start preparing for our upcoming house and even ROM soon. And there are certain restrictions from HDB if you get a resale flat. So yah, in case you were wondering, here’s my explanation to you! It doesn’t really matter because he was already gonna propose by end of this year before the house plan! **Such a big hint from him
I wouldn’t say that this is the exact place we first met, we actually first met at my house bus stop where he asked me out. But the school bus stop still holds a very special memory – where he first noticed me. #LoveAtFirstSight?
Bus 28 came at the right timing too.
Anyway… I didn’t know when the proposal was coming and I didn’t really think it was on that day since he told me that he has basketball competition some time ago. That could be fake but he also made me quickly booked movie tickets for Venom and exclaimed how excited he was for the movie. That lessened my suspicion on any possibility because I knew that some friends were involved so there wasn’t much time. (So he actually had to eliminate any post-proposal programmes in order for me not to suspect a thing because we always plan ahead for our dates, wow that level of consideration) Also because he knew that I am somewhat good at analysing small details. Now that I recalled our past conversations, he planned every detail carefully.
- Informed me that he wouldn’t be free on that day until 3+pm
- Had his friend use a fake whatsapp account to place the orders many days later
- Requested for delivery to be at 1pm, so that I will reject and suggest a timing that I am available instead
- Asked his friend for help to transfer the money while we were overseas
- Had the conversation revolving around his bball competition, making it sound so real and believable (Or am I gullible? haha)
- Even took a video of himself playing in previous matches as a backup “proof”
So back to the actual day… The address is no doubt slightly suspicious but then I also met another carousell seller just a week back and it was also around the blocks nearby. Totally normal. I was waiting for my “customer” to arrive at the block and suddenly they appeared 1 by 1 to pass me “Will you marry me” balloons. Omg I can’t even remember what was my reaction, but my mind sort of went blank for a few seconds, like you know it takes some time to process?
OMG I was still staring into my phone (Being so oblivious to my surroundings)
He came down at the last moment to pass me a bouquet of roses, and popped the question! OF COURSE I SAID YES!
In case you are all wondering, I did not cry okayyyy. My eyes were slightly blurry for awhile but that’s that. I also didn’t want to ruin my makeup, the weather was already very hot and I’m pretty nervous about what’s going on.
And then it came to my senses after a while that I also prepared a surprise for him! He was totally unprepared for it!! He’s actually a SUPER FAN of Chrome Hearts and I bought him a ring from my previous HK trip, kept it secretly for months knowing that he was going to propose this year. So I have been waiting for this day to come. And I had to keep it with me every time we go out together just in case! And he was soooo shocked hahhaha. I just thought it would be really cute to return him with a ring and I also wanted him to know that he is not the only one involved in this, its about the both of us.
Everything ended so quickly and I was still drowning in surprise and happiness. And we had some lovely shots at the bus stop and at the school main gate! Such great memories..
