The Story of my Engagement / Thursday, January 11, 2007
It's my birthday!! 6th January 2006. My first time spending birthday with Sayang.
Please forgive me for sounding dumb in the following story, but i was kept in the dark, and i was very trusting and relies on my boyfriend.
Quent woke me up at 4:30 am, gave me 30mins before he A.I.S. (Ass In Seat) me, still feeling half dead from such early wake up call, we took on our journey, listening to songs and chatting away. At this very moment, i seriously think we were going to the beach, as i was told. So, i asked, "Dear, are we going to watch sunrise?" His answer was nope. Then is asked, "Does anyone know what we are doing today?" His answer was "No questions for you." He sounded so demanding!! Never got that from him before =) So, i happily chatting away and singing away with the songs, while squeezing in some yawns.
Then, here came the junction to the airport, and i said to Quent, "Gees dear, the beach must be quite far away, we are even passing the airport!"Quent calmly said, "yeah." Then, he turn on his left signal into the airport! Ok, now i'm excited, we are getting out of Melbourne, but still i didn't know where we were going until we checked in.
So, Sydney here we come. We both took our nap and arrived in Sydney at about 9am. Quent bought ferry tickets, and then we went and romp around the Opera House and the shops, and shared an ice-cream. We saw this exciting Jet Boats... they were cool as!! But, dude, i have motion sickness and i can't really heck roller coaster, so even thought those jet boats looks cool by Darling Harbour, i don't think i will ever get on it.
At 11am, we took our ferry heading to Rose Bay, Sayang busily occupied my mouth with words, so that i won't concentrate too hard on the motion of the ferry. When we arrived at Rose Bay, it was just a big huge park by the bay. So, we walked around, and discussed what we wanted for lunch, and Quent even asked if i like to catch a bus to the famous Bondi Beach. Well, whatever my answer would be, he already had something planned, so we were late to catch our bus to Bondi!!! We came by a Sea Plane service shed, and Quent walked in and checked us in! Goodness me! I'm going on a sea plane!
Sayang never took a plane ride with me before, but to his horror after paying such an expensive treat for me, then he found out that i'm afraid of flights. Well, so we were on our way to a secluded Portuguese Beach. Came along with us on the sea plane ride were 3 more people.
When we arrived at Portuguese Beach, only did we found out that, it was not as secluded as we thought it would be. On that very beautiful day, many more people had the same idea as us, and they took their yatch and boats onto the beach; playing beach cricket, sun tanning, fishing etc. We then found our spot, and set up our picnic rug, umbrella and food that was provided by the seaplane and started our lunch.
Okay, i still didn't know or expected anything at this moment! I know i am blur...!
We did our thing, and enjoyed ourselves, then Quent started doing some talking...until Grace called! Of course, i wasn't rude to pick up the phone, but i told Quent "Wait ar, let me reply Grace with a message first!" Gees, that just caused my boyfriend's eyes rolled back a billion times. After i am done, he refuses to talk anymore, so i thought i get some tan while i catch a shut eye. The story goes on...
I woke up, and he asked me to take a walk with him around the bend of the beach. We talk about life, and how long we've been together. Then, he started this serious talk about our future which i constantly interrupted innocently; Sayang, was never this demanding before, but he practically said to me "Shut up, please" then he continues with his much nervous speech, and kneels in front of me, and proposed!!!
Yup...the rest is history!!!
I'll be Mrs Quentin Loke this coming December!!!
