6 months to go! (6 June) - part 3
Had a performance to watch at night, so we bummed around at suntec first. Walked into Love & Co to take a look at rings, and had the first bath for the ring! At last! =D
the mobius strip caught my eye =D (yeah, i'm after all a math geek) JL wasn't very impressed by the material cos white gold and platinum will still be scratched by other metals, but i'm happy with the platinum mobius strip (presently KIV)
So he went back home and started searching, and now he's got his mind set on Tungsten Carbide ring! LOL ... being the geek he is too, he's so excited about it, cos it's one of the hardest substances in the world ... it's hard enough to blunt cutting materials, and he can go around scratching almost every thing except for diamonds
and why is it so hard? cos Tungsten Carbide, chemical formula: WC, is a three-dimensional tetrahedral covalent bond structure .. ROFLMAO

eventful day yest, met a parent at 8am, 1st photoshoot with dennis was at 10 am
so spent the time in sch to do my make up ... i loooove the eyeliner gel. Bought it from The Make Up Shop (at Central), very easy to apply, and doesn't take time to dry up like the liquid one, and lasted for 14 hours (with all the sweat).
we started photoshoot at UCC:
aiyoh, the ah boy sat until like that *slap forehead*
btw i was curling my toes! :D something that freaks him out LOL
followed by The Adelphi:
and final stop at museum:
Many thanks to Dennis who made time for us =) going to meet up 2 weeks from now, and that'll be in studio, so we're going to try more pas de deux photos, and more of my extensions! Which means I have two weeks to stretch and strengthen my core muscles!

Proposal - 18 May 2008
of course all these planning for wedding and engagement would not have taken place had he not proposed! =D
over the past few years that we've been together, i've been "educating" him on a good wedding proposal .. and he arranged one that i couldn't say no to =) not that i'll say no, but it was nicely planned ... although he told me the planning started the day before that
on 17th May:
we had dance rehearsals at NUS, during lunch he told me he needed to go to office (Hope). Just for the record, he was actually jobless when he proposed. =/
Turned out that when he reached his new office, he started making the proposal ring =)
He called Wan Ling to inform her of the proposal, invited her down ... he obtained Ling's number fr a mutual friend .. but because he has no mutual friends with Rena, he left her out ... and she's going to be sore about this for many years to come .. oops
And he asked for old photos from me, I can't remember what reason he gave =(
On 18th May:
Peter's class in the morning, then Depot Rd's Botak Jones for lunch .. he said he needed to go office to get sth .. when we reached, he asked me to open the gate of the building, then led me upstairs to take a look at the office ..
I noticed that there was a projector that was on, screen projected onto the wall (he later asked me why i knew even though the screen was black .. i told him i see such projections everyday lol). He led me to his table, then started the slide presentation of our old photos ... with Rainbow Connection in the background .. at the end of it, he popped the question!
As I turned around, there was a robot hidden in a box which came out carrying the ring! He took the ring and went down on one knee, and asked me if i'll marry him again! I said yes and started bouncing about .. until he told me there were 2 video cams (2 diff angles) .. and there were actually other people around .. Peter, Michael and Wan Ling!
Turn out that the robot was controlled by Peter, who had to peep through the glass panel of the door ..
And I was officially taken!

engagement rings
realised i haven't shown off our rings yet =D
we bought them at Love & Co., the outlet at Raffles City -- check out their website
initially we thought it looked very atas, ala Tiffany's ... but we thought what the hell, just go ahead and take a look =) their service was excellent, the rings on display also were very nice!
they're a subsidiary of Soo Kee -- we'd actually spent the morning of the same day at Soo Kee looking at Brilliant Rose, but thought it was too expensive, and we shouldn't spend that amount of money buying the brand
anyway, Love & Co. sells only Ideal diamonds ... 3 excellents ... =) so in that sense you're guaranteed a good diamond, if not excellent
i selected the setting, which has the baby diamonds by the side ... and he chose THE diamond
we decided on best colour, instead of a big one ... and the colour's really nice! and it really sparkles =D
his is a rose gold and white gold combination ... more expensive than my setting! lol

MIL's dress
MIL came to the shop which i did my gowns ... Zion Creation ... and got herself one dinner dress too =)
this shop was highly recommended by Catherine ... so far her service's been ok, nothing good or bad stood out yet
Lorraine did a re-measurement for me, and *gasp* i actually gained 1 inch on my waist ... and i thought i'd lost a lot of weight when i was very sick a few weeks back
guess i really did put on a lot prior to bronchitis .. eeks
