Frodo finally has..... THE RING

My baby proposed to my last night. 01 March 12:15 am. (later I found out it was aimed at the 29th of Feb.)

Baby read me the 5 page long poem that he penned (with every 2 lines rhyming) that detailed what we've been thru in our 6 years together. Then he whipped out the RING and went on his knees. Aww.... I was absolutely stunned cos I'd least expected it! The poem was so sweetly written and I was already crying non-stop before he got thru the first page. And when the ring appeared, I was, erm, bawling.

I didn't say YES immediately cos I was really too stunned by it. Admittedly, there was some trepidation in me. Of the fact that this is gonna signify another step into a new phase of life. It felt strange, foreign, scary. Not that I didn't wanna say an emphatic and immediate YES but it just felt funny.

Even after 24 hours, the fact that I have just accepted his proposal has not fully sunk in yet. What does this mean? What is it going to be in store for me? I'm still looking at the gold ring box and the ring in a kinda strange light. I see it on my finger and ask myself... is it really happening to me? I accepted his ring, so this ring is mine and we're engaged?

My, have we really been together that long? Certainly doesn't feel like it. I'm really so blessed to have such a wonderful baby who has been through so much with me.

BTW my latest song obsession is the theme song of the musical 881. I absolutely love the lyrics. It's so plebian, plain and simple, makes 100% absolute sense and I can just relate to it. In particular, the short hokkien phrases. They should really have more of them! Listening to the song and thinking abt us just turns me into the sobby emotional sponge again. I also like the guitar strummy feel to the song. It has further strengthened my resolve to start my guitar lessons. Cos I wanna be able to play and sing and lose myself entirely in the song.
