Find happiness within....: We're Engaged!!

Dear Sweet Roomie,

18 Dec 2011 has come and happened and passed and.. i think we are soooo officially engaged now!!! woohooo!!!

It all started off with a proposal, and a idea from me: let's have an engagement party! From a simple thought of a gathering BBQ with a possible budget of $300, it evolved to an amazing night of celebration, fun and games at Hatched with a guest list of 33 pax. They included: From August's guest list: Uncle Ow, Aunty Ow, Flora, Ethan, Yanni, Ah Ma, Amos, Yiquan, Elaneor, Panda, Cecilia, Issac, Narrisa. From my guest list: Mum, Imay, Weekwok, Ashley, Layhoon, Yida, Didi, Yuzhen, Pat yi, Dai Yi, Mabel Yi, Aunty Jenny, Ziyang, Bunny, Rong, Jennifer, Zhemin, Manzhi, Eeboon, Yunci and Steven.

We started planning the decorations and games idea a few weeks before the event… every night during our pillow talk session we would discuss a little bit about the engagement. I am glad we put in effort to make this a special occassion - cuz it is a really special occassion!! In the end, we had:

Decorations: Hearts (idea we STOLE from ikea), hanging polaroids (using my fun polaroid film!), cupcakes (generously homemade by Flora), Styrofoam A&L, sweets in bottles (sweets purchased form KL), engagement ring balloons

Program items: special small guest book (purchased from malacca), game board made from styrofoam (august's brilliant idea!)

and to remember the night: 2 professional photographers - Chris & Val!

The party went so well with excellent company, food, program… even the price of the engagement was a pleasant surprise!

My favourite part of the party? That must be when August said: This one year with Ling has been so great it beats the 10 years of my previous relationship. HAHAH…. power right!!!!
