hmmmmmmmmm... craving a nice hot bowl of yummy congee and some cheung fun.

i miss hk food. it was sooooooooooo yummy and cheap.

...

jet lag has hit me. i slept for 15 hrs straight today. a waste of my day yeaa.. i know. don't really want to get back to reality tomorrow... booo... have to go back to work.

* pms and relationships don't mix. i just hate the feeling one goes thru when ppl fight. arghhh

* getting hitched costs too much $$$. i wish i could just elope in vegas.

* i need a break from everything.

* i hate this flu outbreak. ppl are getting too paranoid. i've had too many needles this past week. i think i may be getting 1 more...

* being engaged, wut type of perks can i get???

* tday is wednesday. tomorrow is thursday. looking forward to leaving, going somewhere hot where all i have to worry about is the next place where i can get a deal.

sooo... the past weekend was a rollercoaster ride. everyone who found out wants to hear about the "story" so i will type it here once so i don't have to repeat it.

friday was my 1 yr anniversary w/ zee bf so we decided to take the day off from work and spend the day together to celebrate it. initially, i had just planned to spend it w/ him maybe chilling at his house, a walk in the park... but he told me weeks before that he had something planned the whole day together. so ok... the day comes...

friday @ around 7:45am, he picks me up at my housey and there and behold, he holds a blue rose with a note outlining the agenda for the day:

1) we will be revisiting places or things we done from the past 5 yrs since we've known each other

2) i will be given or will be "stumbling upon" 52 heart-shaped notes which gives reasons why my man-friend <3 me.

so off we go...

side note: the blue rose is the first "past memory". on my 21st birthday when we played on the same softball team, Team Butterfly, he gave me a bouquet of 21 blue roses.

we then head over to Timmy's to pick up some breakfast. this was not any Timmy's: this was the Timmy's where we had our first date.

after Timmy's we drove off to Niagara Falls to do the touristy thing: White Water Walk, Niagara's Fury, Journey Behind the Falls, Maid of the Mist... Before we started this Niagara Falls tour, we headed onto the bus but he wouldn't tell me where we were going. So, he asked me "where was the first time we met?"

i said.. "on the softball diamond?"

no.. sorry. wrong answer. It was on Team Butterfly. So the first tour we went to was the Butterfly Conservatory. (note relation:  Team Butterfly >> Butterfly Convservatory).

ok the day goes on... Throughout the course of the day, he strategically place the heart-shaped notes in certain places. For example he would ask me:

"hey... can you help me get my bag?"... then near where i would pick up his bag, there would be a note there.  (see below... can you spot the note?)

We ate dinner then head home back to his house to continue w/ the heart-note scavenger hunt. The nite before, zee man-friend had scattered the remaining 25+ hearts in his basement and had cordoned it off since his cousin had a prewedding celebration party there.

We got home then he brought me to his basement. I continued w/ the heart scavenger hunt right up to heart #52, then he says... "alright... since you completed the task of finding all 52, i'll give you a prize. close your eyes.."

he then leads me into the guestroom and tells me to open my eyes. he tells me to uncover the bed sheets so i do so, where i then find two stuffed animals: 1 with a bride's dress and the other with a groom's tux... groom is also holding a ring pop candy. I (probably being super tired since this was just before midnight), just laughted at the display thinking it was one of his many jokes that he does. After a couple minutes he notices that i didn't get the purpose of the display, comes over towards me, drops on his knees, does his speech, then he proposed.

the end.

haha.. that was the proposal story in a nutshell.  sorry for the abrupt ending but i can't share the other juicy details with you. hahaa

kiddding....
