Read this somewhere, some time ago. But until now I still think it's sweet to the core so here I shall document it in case I forget about it some day.
The story was about a husband trying to chase a wife back cause he's been so busy his wife feels neglected and she filed a divorce. So he's basically trying to win her back. And it's their anniversary or smth, the wife receives a letter telling her that "the limo will pick you up at 5".
The lady smiled and got onto the limo that was sent for her. Asked the driver where is she heading to, he doesn't tell. She arrives in the hotel, the driver passes her a key. She goes up to the hotel room to find an empty room with rose-petal bath.
Prolly something as cheesy as these lol.
Another note was there "have an enjoying bath sweetheart, and wear that little black dress on the bed. Be at the lobby by 6". Haha he bought her lingerie too. And pretty shoes haha. And a makeup set hair curler etc was on the table for her. So she powdered herself and drew on her face etc. Like a total makeover/self pampering time! (Prolly even had time to pick up a flower and go like "he loves me.. he loves me not")
Heh little black dresses are my favourite! Looks good on anyone.
FYI for guys... here's the collection of little black dresses haha.
Then she went down to lobby that mysterious limo came again (lol this woman has no sense of fear seriously why would I want to enter someone's limo lol). She was whizzed to a palace (y'know England loads of fancy places etc smth like that). She enters and she sees a white piano in the middle of the dining room. There was a candlelight dinner set up too!
LOL this looks romantic enough. So be it!
When she was on the verge of tears the guy appeared in a suit. (Yeah walking down a spiral staircase, just replace the lady with a man that will be great). He told her that he had cooked the meal himself and yada. ('cause working guys don't have time to cook dinner or to care about guys) They had a nice dinner and stuff. Danced like high school kids to some waltz.
LOL of course won't dance like this right..
Maybe something like this without the audience...
Then he suddenly went down on one knee and proposed to her.
Y'know this kind of one knee kneel and ask for her hand in marriage kind.
Note: Guys, please ASK her parents for her hand in marriage FIRST.
That proposal, albeit being so unrealistic, has really set the high bars for me OMG. Romanticism is in my core I don't care heh. It's so carefully thought of, so intimate and so sweet (in my humble opinion la). I don't really feel that there's a need for any public confession or gangnam style proposal (if my boyfriend does that I'm making him propose again LOL) but either way I'm sure all proposals are very well thought of!
But either way I'm convinced that married couples need romanticism once in a while to spice up their lives. Go on a date night every month sounds right LOL. Get adult talk (my impression from baby blues is that you'll get v caught up about the baby and talk their language too)
Maybe it's just hard to throw me offguard because it takes a split second for me to realize what is happening lol. I think I seriously would have da gai know what's happening luh. Idk never get proposed to before so idk how that feels. If I do I let y'all know hor. Seems like a long way to go.
Random thoughts flood into my head in the middle of the night, and yeah most of the negative stuff comes in. Nothing good happens after 2AM. Its apparent to me that I can't look past the past and I can't move on.
But I've got more important things to do now.
PS my cousin got proposed to in KLIA! Getting married this October!
Since school started, January was pretty hectic and tiring. I've managed to find pockets of time now that I've downgraded my chem to a H1, and I don't regret it at all :)
I have a feeling I'm going to love February more, given that Chinese New Year is coming, which only means one thing = HOME! Which also equals to GOOD FOOD :) and potential chance for siblings who sleep late and risk missing the bus like last year. Static Kayakking 2013 is also happening around Valentines, which comes right after New Year! Check out the super pretty colours the t-shirts come in :)
IT SCREAMS "BUY ME BUY ME"! Do a favour and listen to what the shirts have to say!
HAHA It's also gonna be exciting seeing the love around school during Valentines'. I kind of wanna see which guy is the most creative to confess his love for his special one or something. Gonna be exciting with all the roses and stuff. Yeah also anticipating what the class couple(s) are gonna do! *bubbles with excites teehee* Pardon me, I always have this thing for traditional romance haha it's just OH-SO-CUTE. I was watching wedding proposals the other day waiting for my hair to dry, then I started crying along with the girls who get proposed to omg. HAHA like WTF right but still it's just so touching, I really wonder what will happen when I get proposed to. I'll probably get a video of me crying non-stop hahaha wtf when I look back I'm gonna see that I have an ugly face from crying. Here's one of the clips that made me cry:
Y'know I always thought that me loving all the happy wedding occasions (let's strike away the increasing number of divorces happening recently) and yeah OMG HAHA I SHOULD BE A WEDDING PLANNER/WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER or even become 27 bridesmaids HAHAHAHAHA :D but okay let's put that side for now cause here's FACEPALM WORTHY 11: SCHOOL EDITION!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Was discussing about Education in GP. Mr Tan scribbled two words on the board: PIRLS and TIMSS...
Mr Tan: You guys know what is these two a not?
Shichun: the below one is the math and science one! (seriously SC you couldn't have been more helpful ahha I know so much more about TIMSS now hahaha. BTW TIMSS refers to the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study)
Mr Tan: then this? (points to PIRLS) Nobody knows? It's the jewelry one eh!
-after some time, everyone face palm-
Did you get it? PIRLS sounds like PEARLS. But seriously PIRLS actually represent Progress in International Reading Literacy Study.
-Watching some Channel 5 news reporting about Singapore being top few in the world in math and science-
Mr Tan: Apparently you guys must like math and science more than the rest of the world!
Nicko: Wow teacher they must really hate it a lot!
HAHAHA That made Mr Tan speechless for a long while
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mr Tan: In your GP essays please don't refer to Africa as a whole country
Shichun: But it's a actually a continent!
SERIOUSLY Should have seen Mr Tan's face when he cringes! He always say we talk back to him but seriously it's very very funny hahaha.
I was referring to Four Seasons hotel if you guys don't actually know, and yeah hahah Bao facepalmed! :D my classmates always think I'm very lame heehee. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At Wah Chee, favourite stall opposite ACSI campus, having lunch after SATs whilst enjoying the strong breeze. Was telling Junhui about most US campuses are very windy, for example the IB campuses in Singapore have a requirement that it must have greenery and the school compound must be windy (which is the reason why I simply adore going to ACSI and sit at the grandstand and think about life)
Shin: ........so yeah! That's why it's always so windy here!
Junhui: so.... ACSI have a lot of wind?
I facepalmed. HAHHA Junhui so that's what you get from what I told you?
That's really so much I can remember of all the lame jokes and facepalm moments that I have from school. Will update more next week about Chinese New Year and a little surprise I've been preparing for ;)
There are days where I hate myself. But today is different.
Today is one of those days that I super hate myself.
Ever got up from bed, thinking that you probably got up from the wrong side of the bed cause everything about today just feels so wrong? I've overslept by a bit today - hair still wet from yesterday and I forgot to charge my phone, waking up at 6.50 instead of my usual 6.30 routine and I just couldn't find a side of a sock - ended up wearing pink socks to school. I probably broke the school rule for the first time, and was praying like for Ken Yaow not to catch me during morning assembly please. (But thankfully they were more preoccupied with the incoming J1s so guess who got past!)
Anyways, I used to love Fridays. Friday is always like this to me. Like finally a long tremendous week has passed. But this year's timetable indicates that my timetable sucks. Why? Cause I have a 30 minute break after PE, and another 1 hour break after 3 hours of Chem, Math and Human Geog. I AM A GROWING CHILD I NEEDZ FOODZ MY TUMMY PROTESTS EVERYTIME T_T Then I start deciding what to eat for lunch and thinking should I eat double portions. Cannot like that leh!
Today was especially sucky because I nearly fainted in PE (Again yeah I know, got to get a medical checkup soon. But hey haha I can still sprint - at my own risk that is). Then after PE I was just wiped out, nonetheless had to go help out with the Static Kayakking T-shirts! After 1 chem lesson and another math test, I was already poofed dead tired and there's another 1.5 hour compre test T_T Okay off with daily rants haha it's the itty bitty things I like to rant about sorry about that.
I normally realize that the day is gonna be suckier when I really don't feel like doing anything, only "zenning" - Junhui's terms. I guess it's come to a point that I really want to reflect about this week that passed by. I guess I am really upset on myself for acting on impulse on certain times and unable to contain my emotions to myself. There are times when I was at the verge of raging and raged too, and I can't be anymore ashamed of myself for not controlling myself.
Since young, I've been seen as someone who's very tough and very impulsive - I really don't think before I talk. I have a lot of quirks - like idk it's just me, but I saw something from my horoscope yesterday: Aries' is weird, when she's happy she's talkative, when she's depressed she tends to pull away. She can go up to one day not talking. I really don't understand how I can moodswing so fast at times, it's just so depressing I'm like bipolar. And I don't even know if I'm making sense here because I upset myself ):
I want to be demure and practical and firm and sensible and I feel like I really haven't been any of these recently. I should try to count to 30 and then react to something, and try not to snap or be upset, to think before I talk, there are so many things that I should have done. I really felt that I could have been a better friend, a better comrade, a better classmate, a better person.
