engaged!

i'm engaged! after 5 years and 3 months of being together, hkgroom and i are now engaged! yay!

our engagement story:

September 5th, 2009

i have to admit, because i was impatient, i had seen the gorgeous sparkler a week and a half before and even tried it on =P. good thing i did too as it was two times too big! so it took another 10 days for the ring to be resized. as soon as it was ready, we went to pick it up. wheeeee!

anyhow, hkgroom and i had planned an 'engagement dinner' at Osteria Ristorante Italiano. we had been before a few months back and were very impressed with the service, atmosphere, great food and in particular how they got the pasta perfect (al dente)... very very tasty! needless to say, we were once again impressed and the night started off wonderfully.

after dinner we went back to hkgroom's parent's house to drop some stuff off and found out that hkmother-in-law had got a new puppy! gorgeous little black toy poodle! very playful and cute. *sigh* can't wait to get a puppy of our own!

dinner, puppy, then up to Fei Ngor Shan aka Kowloon Peak (飛鵝山) for the proposal! hkgroom and i used to head up there during the early years of our relationship as it is truly stunning up there (see pic). i'd say even more beautiful than The Peak as you can see the lights from Kowloon side. anyhow, we found a nice, quiet place and hkgroom pulled the ring out of his pocket and said the magic words! bawling my eyes out, of course i said yes! it was perfect!

woahooo!!! i'm in love with my man and my beauuutiful sparkler!
