Will u marry me?

Gals - hearts skip a beat, tears filled their eyes, unknowingly nod their head n say yes for most of the case.
Guys - went through a lot of preparation ( for most cases ), crack their brains, get help from friends and families.

Recently been helping a friend to give ideas on his proposal to my BFF. His been indecisive all the time. I'm almost used to it. The proposal date and location kept changing. As of now, it's still TBC.

He intended to fly to BKK to meet her and surprise her in her room. However, this was a sudden thought. Although there's still tickets available, she's unsure on which hotel she'll be staying. So.. too much risk.

Second choice was to book a hotel with fireworks view during National Day Parade. He said she likes fireworks. But the price tag, above 800... Since they are having a grand ROM and their BTO coming at beginning of 2014. Budget is sort of a constraint.

Well, in between he also thought of going to Phuket to propose. He looked up lots of deals. Did quite a bit of stuff. But nothing was fruitful because he don't have a plan. His just researching. While another BFF n me gave him lots of ideas and offered help, there was no push factor. He kept saying his real nervous and didn't know what to say.

In the end, he said he'll book a room. More discreet. Less stress. Guess his looking for the easier way out.

Most females (or whoever to be proposed) thinks that this is a once in a lifetime thing and had high expectations. Come to think of it, my parents didn't get a proper proposal also. Some didn't even had proposal ring. She's lucky to have something customised and picked by her. It's a nice and pretty ring that suits her personally greatly.

I just hope that she will be happy and get the proposal that she've been waiting for... and almost gave up at the end.

Really bad haze

Since monday, sg has been getting lots of haze due to the activities in Indonesia.. every year around this time, we get a certain amount of haze. This year, its much worse.

Disclaimer: I'm writing based on my own understanding, experience and views towards this situation. 

A LOT of ppl are very concerned about this situation.. since monday, psi rating was changed to hourly instead of every 3 hours. And last night 19th June 2013, it reached it's all time high at 321. Its the highest recorded level ever for singapore.

Anything above 80, its very obvious that the road is hazy, visibility decreases and you can smell char in the air. Can u imagine 321? All outdoor activities should be cancelled. NEA classified it as hazardous. People should stay indoor or wear a mask whenever u r out.

I went to meet my sis for bkt last night. It got up to 290 when I just reached home.. car are driving slower. I try to not go out if possible.

A lot are asking govt to do something abt it. Ministers said they are considering some things. But no action yet. Tremendous amount of hot spots in sumatra are only on the rise. Uncontrollable.. LSL said something, Dr Vivian said something. But still.. no action.

It actually got slightly better this morning. 100+ but still, causes irritation to healthy ppl like me.. and I've been trying hard to prevent myself from falling sick. A lot of water and fruits! But it doesn't seem to get any better. If only I can work from home.

Colleagues were asking boss if we can activate BCP under such harsh conditions. Boss quoted NEA guideline of 400 PSI. To be honest, I was a little pissed when I saw that. Who can tolerate 400 PSI?! I told myself if it got above 350, I will take urgent leave. I'm not risking my life for this. Above 300 is hazardous, hello?! Anyway, i saw boss's msg this morning. She woke up at 5am to check the weather. Looked clearer she said. She offered for everyone to have taxi claim, either from office or from her own pocket. Glad to know she's still concerned. As at 7am, 2 called in sick for our small team of 5. Yesterday also 3 of us only in the morning. Expecting loads of work. Hai~

My eyes were very irritated last night. Throat feels unwell this morning. And yes, sneezing away.. Sensitive nose.. But I hope i'll be better and I'll refrain myself from going outdoor. Baby will be sending me the N95 later. I need them badly when I'm traveling home from work.

I hope this haze can come down quick and please. Stop burning. They are unstoppable!

跟夏天才告别转眼满地落叶
远远的白云依旧无言
像我心里感觉还有增无减
跟去年说再见转眼又是冬天
才一年看着世界变迁
有种沧海桑田无常的感觉
oh~friend
我对你的想念
此刻特别强烈
我们如此遥远
朋友孩子的脸说着生命喜悦
如果说我们依然相恋
说不定在眼前是另外情节
oh~friend
我对你的想念
此刻特别强烈
这么多年
oh~friend
我对你的想念
此刻特别强烈
如此遥远
friend~

As above, she sent me last week. Saying its a nice song. Japanese title : Sayonara.

While hearing the shocking news this morning. I really felt for her.  I was afraid to see her. I dun think I can hold back my tears if I do. She's our happy pill. Always brought smiles and laughter to us even during the toughest time.

Things did not work out. Choices had to be made. Where is the love?

I didnt know things can happen so fast.. I couldn't catch up. Luckily, she's got lots of support. And I'm so glad that she didn't reject the help offered. Most importantly,  she's willing to speak up.

Be strong! My friend! I pray that things will get better for you. You will grow, only stronger...

I really hope that everything will be over soon.

Jia you!
