One, a quarter century celebration of life and another, a proposal that marks the start of a beautiful life together for 2 lovely people.
Pops and I promised to meet Ryan up for her bday dinner and since it's her 25th, we decided to gather the PP and surround this special girl with the people that made up a good part of her uni life :)
Forgot to bring my camera so the bunch of photos were taken with my iPhone, hence the pixelated quality in low light setting.
Much attention that day was also given to Baby Lynn :) Such an amazing feeling when Lynn let us touch her tummy as the baby moves. Ryan and I were gasping and wowing like school girls gone awry.
Can't wait for the new addition to the group, such excitement!! And I hope Baby Lynn was not affected by Aunty Ryan's vulgarity explosion that night.
Caught 那些年 and it was really an amazing show :) Got all of us reminiscing about how fun and eventful secondary school had been. And I'm thankful that I get to be with the person I love <3
Sat was another big day!
Coz Nash have been planning his surprise proposal and we're gng back to NUS for this special occasion! The rain had no impact on our hyped up enthusiasm.
For a good half of the way, we were cooped up in AS7, marking steps and settling on formation. That was 2 mins of dance in one day's practice. N-e-r-v-o-u-s! Thank God the steps were no killer. Nash is not known for simple steps.
Here's the chronological low-down of how the proposal went:
Scene 1 - Facebook chat
I happened to see this event for Alumni happening at NUS and got everyone to meet there for our gathering.
Scene 2 - NUSS Guild House
Everyone stands around with the crowd watching this magician/ balloon sculptor going into a mega-sized balloon. (Kind of traumatizing if I were a kid)
Emcee started talking after the magic show and wanted to get someone to recount his NUS life.
Emcee: "Ok, I'm going to find a young chap"
Walks into our group.
Emcee: "Hey there, you got a nice smile, come share with us on your NUS life!"
Nash: "errrr...... o...k...."
*squirms and act reluctant while "supportive" group of friends backed away slowly from him*
Went on stage and talked about dance and all during NUS days and emcee urged him to show the crowd some steps.
*Squirms and act reluctant again (he was getting really good at that)*
Scene 3 - On stage
Glee's version of Marry You starts blasting over the stereo and Nash switched into dancer mode.
And Sharon was busy recording on her iPhone. So much so she didn't realize us moving away from her to the stage!
It's an exceptional feeling to be part of sth so special... Everything pays to see that cry-smile-touched-and-tickled expression on her face. For 2 whole minutes :)
Kelvin and pops caught everything on iPhone, compact and DSLR. I can't wait to watch!
And we had a yummy dinner at Simpang Bedok. Major Yums.
That wraps up my surprise, surprise weekend :)
