demande en mariage

It's funny thinking back on what happened on the day where he proposed. It was a V's day. As usual, most couples were succumbed to the most commercialised dinner with gifts, chocolates and flowers. Me being a marketeer, I know the usual gimmicks..

The night before V's day, he had given me a stalk of rose. Simple, yes. I do not mind at all. Caused I knew how expensive flowers on that particular day. Eventhough, it was simple, you could see my facial expression beaming with joy when he gave it to me. Simple things like this can just make me happy.

On V's day itself, he gave me another stalk of rose during the day. Well, I do not know what did he had in mind but I went along with it. He came to pick me up for the dinner. I was clueless of whereabouts he wanted to take me. Never did I expected that he brought me to the most expensive dinner in my life that I ever had.

We drove past downtown, heading to KL Tower. I never being to KL Tower before taking into consideration I was residing in KL since 2 years old! KL Tower as I knew of, there are this restaurant overlooking into the KL nightlife. It is Seri Angkasa Revolving Restaurant. As the name suggested, it revolves slowly overlooking the night of KL.

Since he wanted to make it a special night for both of us, a night for us to remember.. and I will surely remember. He reserved for dinner for two. Heading to the restaurant, at the reception I saw the price for RM200 plus, thinking to myself, 'Wow, that's really expensive for two'.

Upon our arrival, at the restaurant entrance, I was surprised with another stalk of rose, a box of chocolates containing a la Ferrero Rocher and a cute little teddy. All these come a long with the reservation. He mentioned 3 stalks of roses means I love you.... Awww so sweet....

I was seated near the window overlooking at the spectacular KL night view. It was a buffet with 2 buffet counter and 1 dessert counter.

I was having my first plate of food and when I got to know that the dinner for the night was RM288++ per person with our bill total up to RM662.40Nett. I got the shocked of my life. It was way overpriced and the food I would say it was so so, nothing much to shout out. After knowing the value for the dinner, I was distracted and could not even enjoyed the food. Do you know how expensive was it? It is equivalent to a month of my car installment! Nope, it wasRM8.40 more then my car installment. Basically, at that time I was having "tooth ache" literally for the price we had paid. Do you think that I can eat that worth of food? Nope, I don't think I can eat that much worth of food either.

I'm a dessert person, when it's time for dessert, whatever unhappiness I have will slowly disolved in the dessert. Like ice cream melting.. So while taking a break after my session o dessert, he suddenly held my hands underneath the table, caressing. Suddenly I felt pain. He was slipping a ring onto my finger while asking me, " Will you marry me?" and I nodded my head and here we are now after 5 years of marriage. Time flew!
