24th SEA Games Experience

This was the most memorable holiday I ever had. It started off with a Bangkok trip with Fandrie:

Anyone can tell that this is Mark Richmond with the SEA Games liason officers in Bangkok Airport, thanks to my photography skills.

I could stay here forever cos...

...this was the view from our hotel room on the SEA games opening night.

S$7 (?!) sharks fin in a food court. Fin real or not I dunno la, but it's good enough for me.

"Hmph. You eat shark. Don't friend you already."

Then I bravely headed to Korat for the SEA games while Fan left for Isreal.

Red carpet sia.. looks a leetle beet sleezy.

The hotel even had their own cow!

The Tom Yam Kung was unforgetable! So was the Pad Thai!

Jennifer and Wong Ah Teck were great company.

At the field....

Cute and sweet Renu.

Cute and radiant Irene.

偶像Royston

And of course with Eugene dear... the very reason for me to be there

Scared chao da.

Match started and no. 18 was up to something....

zooming in..... top right corner: \(^o^)/..... no. 18's handy work. Oiii... concentrate on the game leh!!!!

2-base hit by Eugene!!!

Kenny hits and Eugene ran like his life depended on it.

"...No. 11.. may we have your signature... your homerun very 帅... -giggles-"

Bronze medallists! Rarrhh!!

We want to lie down to admire our medals cannot ah

Now we want to toss our caps high high!

No. 18's cap flew to outerspace

So proud of you dear.. Thank you for sharing this with me :)

He pops The Question Part II

Took down the previous post because it was so depressing. Don't want to think about it, because there are other better things to talk about, like:



HE POPPED THE QUESTION AGAIN, AND THIS TIME IT'S FOR REAL



Once again, I was sleeping when it happened.



"............will........... me......." he said while nudging me to wake up



"....huh..?"



".....will..... marry....... me....."



"oh..... (omg this question again... diao...)- got ready to roll away and return to dream land-



".... ok ok I kneel down okay" -and he awkwardly tried to kneel on one knee, ON the bed-



"Will you marry me?"



"....Er... ring... where's my ring " I answered while waving my hand at him sleepily.. half awake and quite amused at the sight of a huge guy trying to keep his balance on one knee on a waterbed. Even sleeping on one is difficult, trust me!



"There! The ring is there!"



My eyes shot open fully and I felt something around my left ring finger. He had slipped it when I was asleep.

".... Ha.....?" I tried to focus hard on the ring but it was dark and I couldn't really tell what it was exactly.

He was still staring at me sheepishly and waiting for an answer.

"Er.... You're not kidding me right.... Is this plastic...?"

"What?! No!"

"Ok ok, turn on the light......................."

"Oh my god... Is this for real....???"

".............................. So ???????"

"Er.................... ok.............ok................ Wait..... Aren't you supposed to slip on the ring AFTER I say yes???!!!!"

-he shrugs with a triumphant look on his face-

So this is how I got proposed to. Once in a life time thing, and he did it backwards.

Apparently, he was also extremely worried for a long time that the stone is not big enough, and said he wanted to get one as big as his fist if he could. -_O ??!!!

But I really do love the ring. Thank you dear :)
