Currently, I am absorbing everything quite well. I am taking everything v slowly. I shall slowly find my bridal shoes, makeup artist and do random handicraft.
21 October 2014
After a depressing trip from the Hakone Sightseeing cruise, we went back to the hotel with a heavy heart.
Out of random, CY decided to tell me that we should find a cake in Hakone to celebrate for my XX’s birthday (his birthday falls on 22 October). XX being XX, he will know it is likely that we will celebrate his birthday because when we head to Tokyo because it’s his actual birthday AND Tokyo has lots of yummy cakes omg. No surprises alr. Tsk.
Since we have nth much to do in Hakone, we decided to secretly buy a cake and bring back to the hotel. However, THERE ARE NO CAKE SHOPS AND 90% OF THE SHOPS ARE CLOSED. Plan A failed.
Returned to the hotel and watched TV, talk nonsense and eat snacks (it’s what we always do) I concussed right after I return to the hotel because I was tired from travelling from Kyoto to Hakone.
Woke up at 730pm because they said we are going to HOT SPRING!!!! YAY. EXCITED. I have never been to a hot spring so I am excited.
Changed into the traditional Japanese outfit and all of us walked to the hot spring tgt! Hot spring for males is located on a different floor, so they will have to take the lift to another floor.
You have to be naked before stepping into the hot spring. You will place your clothes in the locker before walking into the hot spring area. No, small towels (or whatever is not allowed). I am cool about it anyway.
The ladies using the facilities are mostly Japanese. They do not feel embarrassed or shy about it. It’s as if, being naked is the right thing in hot springs. If everyone starts to be conscious etc, I will start to feel awkward and embarrassed. Rofl.
Janice and I stayed at the hot spring for about 45 mins and decided to leave to prevent dehydration Man, it was hot and reminds me of Birkam class. LOL. It’s not good to remain in the hot spring for a long period of time.
Both of us returned to the hotel room, thinking it’s just another long day and it’s time to rest!
Went back to the hotel room and realise a strong, pungent smell coming from the tatami room. I classify that smell as toxic. Coming from a laboratory background, the smell spells POISON. I kid you not.
For some unknown reason, XX insisted that I enter the room. I refused cause it’s so damn smelly omg. I knew sth was wrong. The XX I know wont ask me/put myself in danger. (its really damn smelly and it took me a lot of courage to even enter the room) I reckoned, there is probably a ghost inside or they wanna pull a trick on me. LOL.
When the doors opened, I stepped in and saw a lot of balloons on the floor.
(Can anyone tell me why I am so vain) Meanwhile, XX is singing in the background. But because he sounds awful, I told him to stop singing. He is not someone good with vocals. HAHAHA – I am so mean. I should have let him continued and enjoy the moment. I am sorry. I am in regret.SHIT. THIS IS IT. OH, SO THE SMELL COMES FROM THESE BALLOONS. SHIT. XX IS GG TO PROPOSE LIAO. OH NO. TODAY IS THE DAY. AND I LOOK SO CHUI AND UGLY AND SHAGGED. OMG HOW. AND CY IS RECORDING THIS TIME IN THAT CORNER.
HAHAHAHAHA. No, I didn’t cry. I am more of shocked.
(i look v epic here. i need to learn to be more demure)
- So the proposal is the reason why XX choose to pay $800 for a night stay here.
- Due to the bad weather, they had a change of plans. XX planned to propose in the garden. But its so hazy, nobody can see any shit. They went for plan B.
- I can’t believe he actually proposed in year 2015. Our house is supposed to be ready in 2018. I am sorry, Singapore men are PREDICTABLE. I faced it. LOL. Propose a year before the wedding. Simple and predictable. It’s a path that everyone will take. That probably make him propose earlier.
- I think no one would expect a proposed after a trip to the hot spring. Seriously? (I did hint XX previously that I cannot accept guys who proposed to girls after a running marathon. Cause I doubt anyone will look good after a race. Shagged, smelly, tired, messy hair etc.
- But then again, I guess the weather kind of forced him to have plan B. Its either now or never. I look tired and chui also nvm. ROFL.
The entire room is full of balloons. HAHA.
Wedding preparations have began. Hello nightmare. Hello stress. Hello budget.
I brought the diamond balloon back to Singapore!!! HAHAHA. And threw it in the end. LOL. Epic.
Hello ring. Hi pretty. My heart skipped every time i wore you out.
HAHAHAH! I concluded that my XX is equally epic.
I didnt cry until i informed my papa that his annoying daughter is engaged. Its as if my annoying papa is going to send me away soon and i cant delay it any further alr.
The balloons are so pretty!

Thanks for all the help Ah yew, Janice and Jason. I had a memorable proposal and i smiled to myself every single time i look at the photos.
Thanks for pumping air into the balloons. Your muscles must have ached badly.
Thanks for planning this tgt with XX. Thanks for the logistics and thanks for the help. I am grateful, thankful and blessed.
Nana is engaged on 21 October 2014. (:
My proposal ring is certainly not expensive. Its sth that i picked out and love all the details and the meaning behind it.
Initially i didnt want XX to buy cause i wanted to save money. I am glad i decided to ask him get one for me in the end! Love it. <3 p="">
