Will you...?

Heard a few rather creative marriage proposals lately:

1) A lawyer proposed to his dream gal by sending her a writ...charging her with the offence of stealing his heart. Sentenced to a blissful marriage life ever after.

2) The guy hid the ring in 1 of the gashapon “扭蛋”machines in Suntec. Before the date ended, he got his girlfriend to have a go at the machine a few times before the ring was out.

3) A taiwanese guy got 10 thousand people to sign an online well-wishing site which he set up before he propose showing the site to his girlfriend of 10years at an internet cafe.

Any other interesting marriage proposals u've heard of? Do share =)

Sunset

Received a call in the evening, Josh asking me out for dinner. Within 20minutes, I'm in his Kangoo and off we headed to catch the sunset.

A few men were fishing, 2 families were playing with the sand while far off, there were 2 wedding couples taking photos. It was quite romantic to view the sunset. The sun resembles 咸蛋黄. Frankly the reflection of the sun on the sea waters was quite beautiful...

We went for western food nearby, promised Josh that I won't reveal where's this hideout of his. The food was quite tasty just that the skin of the chicken was really burnt. Oh before I forget, congrats Josh upon receiving your certificate frm TP.

Lunch Treat

Together with Mum, met 三姨 and cousin Rita at Plaza Singapura for lunch cos cousin is offering a treat at Ichiban Boshi. She's been working quite hard and needed a break so took half-day off to meet up for lunch. The food is quite good but regrettably the service a little slow...maybe cos they didn't employ enough waiters/waitresses.

After lunch, we went to 旺角 for coffee and chatting. Rita wanted to check out clothes at U2 and I ended up buying a top too. When we came out of the store, we saw 洪惠芳 being filmed on the travellators. Should be for a new drama. 翁清海 was also there. He's really fit! We headed home by 3+pm. Gotta start on my reports by tmr...haiz....

K 歌

First day of our 1 week break so met Yanxuan, Wanjun, Shuixian, Peishi at Dhoby Ghaut MRT around 1040am to go to Kbox at Paradiz Centre. Sam met us there shortly after we got a room assigned.

Started a 4 hr singing session with K lunch of fried beehoon and ice lemon tea...quite cheap cos in the end, each of us just paid $6.50. Heard Shuixian's voice for the first time...quite funny cos she couldn't help frowning when she starts singing. Had quite a gd time belting out a number of songs. Only pity is that Yanxuan didn't sing much due to her sore throat.

Short day

Lessons ended by 1015am so headed down to Bugis for gyming session. Felt hungry during the train ride but decided to skip lunch and head for the machines once I arrived. Persisted to complete 7000 over strides on a machine before the Bodybalance class at 1pm.Glad that a new stairway within the club has replaced the stuffy 'carpark stairway'. Couldn't resist getting a gashapon featuring a new range of Ochaken collectibles. =P

The Beautiful Butterfly

A touching poem we came across during the BSS visit about autistic kids

I am the child who has a disability,
who cannot do the things that you do.
But that does not mean I am useless,
I have feeling and emotions, just like you.

I can hear the things you are saying,
even though with words I cannot yet speak,
I may not be physically able to do things like you,
but that does not mean I am weak.

I know there are many things about me,
that you simply do not understand,
But please don't shy away from me,
I could use a friend, and a warm helping hand.

I may have a mind that works differently,
Pages in a book - I may flap instead of turn,
But that does not mean you can't teach me,
you might be surprised at just what I can learn.

If you think when I don't cooperate, I'm misbehaving,
And conclude that I'm not disciplined enough,
Please take a moment to consider,
that the road I must travel can be rough.

When you stare at me, point, or start to whisper,
it makes me sad, and I so want to cry ---
Why do you think of me as some crippled caterpillar?
Why can't you see that I'm God's beautiful butterfly?
