That’s how i am still feeling after the 4th day of the proposal. I was really caught by surprise and everytime i look at the diamond ring around my finger i recall the teddy bear that it came with.
I remember asking Dave, “What’s this?” and then seeing him on his knees and asking me the “question”.
It was very sweet and very romantic although i must say it was quite a sloppy moment as i was sitting in the living room eating porridge and in my t-shirt and shorts. I will remember this for the rest of my life.
Dave, you are my best friend, my soulmate and you complete me. I love you so much!

Pei Chyi said YES! The ring is around her finger. We’re officially engaged!
Mission accomplished for me – she was caught completely by surprise. And what a miracle, the ring was a perfect fit! We immediately got the ring engraved with today’s date to remember this memorable day.
We’re so happy right now and we’ve shared our joy with some of you already. Thanks to everyone who’s sent congratulatory messages and for all your support. We don’t know when the wedding will be yet, but it’ll most likely only be in 2008. Subscribe to this blog’s feed to find out when.
We’re heading off to Penang for a short holiday. More pictures and updates when we get back.

After three and a half years of going steady with Pei Chyi, I’m going to ask her to be my wife tomorrow.
This is one of the biggest decisions that I’ll ever make in my life, but in many ways, it’s one of the easiest. I feel completely at ease when I’m with her. She’s my best friend and my lover. She’s my soulmate and I know that we’re meant to be together.
Then again, knowing that we’re meant to be together doesn’t make me feel any less nervous about proposing. I’ve planned everything out and I really hope that I surprise her.
This little guy will be helping me out when I propose tomorrow.

I’ve been thinking of how to pop the big question. Gosh, I’m going to do it next week! That’s almost no time left! *realisation panic*
The more I think of it, the more daunting the task seems. I want it to be memorable you know. Of course, I could get down on one knee, present the ring and just ask, “Will you marry me?”, but that approach seems a bit tired and clichéd. Plus, I’ll probably be nervous as hell and she’ll guess I’m up to something a mile away.
Another issue is that I don’t really like the box which the ring came in. I tried looking for a ring box, but couldn’t find any so far. So scratch any ideas that involve opening up the box to reveal a ring inside.
I’ve narrowed my options to something that is pretty sweet I think. I admit, it’s not the most creative marriage proposal ever, but it fits the bill of being sweet and memorable. I’ll have more details in my next post. All I can say for now is that it’ll involve a teddy bear…

Here’s a peek at what everyone is curious about – the engagement ring.
These are studio photos of the ring I bought for her. Nothing too fancy, and definitely nothing too expensive. The day when I pop the question is coming! Hope she likes it!

… and so I thought it would be great if we have a blog for the wedding too. That is, if Pei Chyi says yes when I propose…
Last Saturday, Pei Chyi was out of town and I took the opportunity to go buy her an engagement ring. I still don’t know when I’m going to pop the question – waiting for the best time – but I’ve got one or two ideas already.
We’ve knew that we’d get married for some time now but due to ‘financial constraints’ I did not buy the ring until now. I wanted to give Pei Chyi the best that I could give and so I got her a very beautiful Estrella diamond ring. I’ll post photos when I manage to take a nice picture of it.
Anyway, Pei Chyi’s waited for so long now which is really good for me, because I hope I catch her completely by surprise when I pop the question. This means that this blog, and the ring especially, is still a secret – so don’t breathe a word to anyone! Stay tuned…
