encouraging.

that's almost my june.

no more stagnant sales figures, no more appointment-less days. of cos, and with much loves from the boyfriend; he made this bookmark!

so, for all you peeps out there struggling to make things work - pain is only temporary, eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. however, if you quit, it lasts FOREVER. :)

have a lovely week ahead!

the proposal.

this is my proposal, over a round of pictionary on the ipad.

you must be thinking that im damn good to guess my bf's drawings? haha the fact is, i only managed the whale. it started with him casually drawing the above on his fashion accessory and asking me to guess his drawings. the whale is simple and after many promptings and clues, i finally got the merry-go-round and noodles. so while i was wondering about the real identity of the brush-lookalike thing, my bf dropped the biggest hint: these 4 pictures form a question.

the question was then obvious,

will (whale) you (yea, it turns out to be an unagi = eel) marry (merry) me (mee = noodles)?

thinking it might be one of his lousy impromptu stunts, i obviously said no.

the next surprise came when the pepper-plus paper bag was literally thrown to me BECAUSE i was holding that very same paper bag a week ago. it turned out i was carrying my own proposal ring the day my bf went to collect it. the reason why i wasnt even suspicious, that was because he told me he got to meet his client to collect her policies. thus, when he reappeared with a paper bag, i didnt give much thought to it.

fanciful gimmicks, romantic poems, gigantic bouquet of lilies and kneeling on one knee, i have none of that.

still, i was probably grinning like an idiot when i saw the ring. the pepper-plus bag incident caught me off guard totally!

my diamond got upgraded on the 21st April 2011!

just as my bf thought the proposal is the end, it's just the beginning of his nightmare, haha.

since our house should be ready for collection in q1 2012, we have decided to prepare for the wedding. im surprised by my efficiency though. thanks to the uobs and the gang's recommendations and feedbacks, i managed to shortlist some hotels and got their wedding packages, all in less than 2 days.

we will be meeting the coordinator on coming monday and if negotiations are ok, we will most probably go with that. having said that, we're perhaps one of the really lazy couples around.

the next item on the list will be the pre-wedding photography. :)

we dive, we eat, we sleep!

had a good trip over the weekends in tioman.

dive, eat, sleep; and the routine just repeats itself through the 2 days 2 nights. sometimes, it's dive, sleep, sleep, eat, dive, sleep, eat, eat, eat. sometimes, it's dive, eat, sleep, dive, sleep, sleep, eat.

i love diving! the world underwaters is simply breathtaking; peaceful yet amazing.

and we were really lucky to catch sight of 2 turtles during our last dive on sunday morning!

the dive buddies in mersing jetty.

the boat ride this time round was pretty tolerable, around 2.5 hours. we managed to grab the beds, totally knocked out until tioman.

damn good pisang prata along the jetty; crispy, sweet and yummy pisangs!

urgh, really really really very good!

ha, this was taken before we concussed again on the boat ride back to mersing jetty.

goodbye tioman and with this, it marked the end of our dive-cation!

looking forward to the next one! but before that, we seriously need to cram the fishes guide into our heads. all i can identify were all the yummy looking edible fishes, haha.
