Take picture of my "xia mian"

Last Saturday, before our prawning session with our friends, we headed to Bishan, opp Junction 8, there's this kopitiam where Ms J said there's a stall selling nice prawn mee. So both darling Tootsie and myself took pictures of the prawn mee....In fact it was so so only.

The joke of the title of this entry came about like this:

After the prawning session, it was almost close to midnight, when we suggested for coffee. In the car, Darling Tootsie was saying we should have take pictures of tonight's activity and post in facebook.

Mrs Tootsie replied: Ya lor, I only take picture of your "xia mian".

There's a moment of silence.

Mr Tootsie clarified what I said: "Do you mean prawn mee?" " For a min, I was thinking why you take picture of my "Xia Mian" (*Mr Tootsie was thinking dirty lor*)

Everyone broke into laughter...in fact our guy friend, Mr T, initially thought I was referring to that "Xia Mian".

Hey Guys why are u always thinking of something "dirty".

In future I gona pronounce properly : Xia (1) Mian (4) in hanyu pinyin = Prawn Mee

Sorry :(

Muacks to ur left eye...

Mrs Tootsie

My first MTM main gown

I am so excited to see my first mtm gown in Feb :)

Last Thurs, after going down to HDB to pay the 5% downpayment for our house, we had an appointment with my bridal designer Mrs J to work on the design of my first gown. Having requested not to have a pure white gown as I find it too common already, I told Mrs J I wanted some colour to contrast with the white gown.

Although we did confirm on the design after trying 3 gowns, after going home, I browse thru the wedding mag again to get an idea of my gown, I still felt rather unsure....
so again I buzz Mr Tootsie to see Mrs J yesterday hahaha. Initially I wanted to have satin material for my bottom back gown, however, as the design cannot match off with that material, it was finally confirmed that organza material shall be used for my gown! I have used one of my fav colour (its a sweet colour) and coincidentally, before I decided on that colour, I already have in mind to use that colour for my flowers (*have not even told Mrs J and she seems to know what am I thinking :) )

Keeping my fingers crossed to see my first gown in feb and hope it turns out to be a princessy under Mrs J's hands. Afterwhich, will be discussing the design of my second gown.

So I guess for this 2 months, I shall start to shop for my shoes so that I can wear it for my fitting.

My version of the proposal

It was about couple month back when I decided to propose to Mrs Tootsie on the 2nd dec which is our 2nd anniversary. It will be easy to spring a surprise as she will think it is our 2nd anniversary surprise. Mrs Tootsie is not very smart.. lol.

I only started to crack my brain for ideas in November but it was a busy month. I had to do lotsa OT especially the starting of them month. Well, it was an excuse as I'm a procastinator as well. It was 2 weeks before that I really thought hard about it and the plan came about. A week and a half before I went to buy the suppliers and A week before I start making it.

Well, the plan was like this...

The items: my "ring" which was watches instead of diamond ring. a gigantic diamond ring for some fun factor. A book which I'll pen my thoughts and later on paste the pictures of the night and make it into a book for us to remember this special day. A veil to signify my new bride. And Champagne to celebrate the day.

Since Mrs Tootsie likes candles, I plan to get a frame and put the words "will you marry me?" on it. I thought I could frame it after I propose but it was not meant to be. It took too long to light and everything burnt. It was in ruins. But anyway, I had a hard time looking for the candles. I ask around if anyone knew where I could get candles in letters form. I know prima deli has it and A friend helped me ask(thanks Miss J)but they don't sell it. I thought to go those toys shop to get those ABCs stuff and see if I can get a mould but I couldn't find it. I look for the mould at art friend but also I could not find it. End up I managed to melt the candle, pour it into the used tealight and crave it out from there. It was hard work and a couple of them crack as I crave them.

Next, I made a book. In front was an angel wing. This represent Mrs Tootsie who is my angel :) Inside I pen my feelings. I intend to make this book a book where we'll remember this special day. After this day, we'll develop the pics and paste them inside. So only this 2 items are handmade.

The settings: At east coast where I 1st ask her to be my gf. I will Reenact the whole scene again. But this time is a proposal to be my wife then gf.

So I ask her to turn around while I prepared the items. It was suppose to be like this... I lay the tablecloth, throw some rose petals, lay my candles in front of her with the watches and book beside. I play "somebody" on my handphone. Put the veil on Mrs Tootsie head and ask her to turn around and open her eyes and she'll see me kneeling with the diamond ring.

But it turned out like this.. The candles took like forever to light up. By the time I panick and forgot about my song! I was dripping sweat like nothing. Mrs Tootsie turn around with the veil but when she open her eyes, the candles almost finish burning. We try to take some videos and pics but soon it burn finish and the canvas was burnt through. After that Mrs Tootsie was no longer distracted, she woke up and realise hey there is a lot of sea cockroaches around and start screaming like crazy. So we had to move to the bench like before to talk and show her the other stuff I bought for her.

It wasnt what I had in mind.. but nothing is perfect and I'm glad I had made this day a special one for my angel :) and I hope she liked it!

Since it was also our 2nd year anniversary, Mrs Tootsie made some things for me knowing I had handmade something for her. She made me some lovely brownies reading "happy 2nd anniversary" It was delicious. Thank you darling! She also bought me my 1st automatic watch which I love it so much! It was a lovely day!

A beautiful Memory I shall not forget ~ 02 Dec 2008 ~

That night was a lovely night. Both Mr and Mrs Tootsie were at East Coast Park, a reminicent of how Dar asked me to be his gf on the 2nd Dec 06 :) We decided to celebrate our 2nd year anniversary there, never did I expect a surprise from Darling Tootsie :) Yes Mr Tootsie has officially proposed to Mrs Tootsie on that very day, that very night at the same place. Recollecting back, I remembered Darling asked me to be his gf at a bench, initially his plan was to pop the question at the water break but his plan was kinda spoilt by the sea cockraoches crawling about the break water that has freaked me up!

And so on that night 2nd Dec 08, we did went back to the same water break, sat there with my back facing Darling Tootsie while he was preparing something romantic to celebrate our anni. I was actually busy using a mag and hitting on the break water to distract the sea cockroaches from disturbing me! Have really no idea that Darling was actually going to propose to me. In fact thinking back, for the past few weeks, Darling has been rather secretive. When going shopping with him, I cannot see the things he had bought and for that past one week, I was actually banned from going to his house....Even Darling Tootsie's mummy wanna brew bird nest for me, she had no choice but to make for me when Darling had proposed to me. Sob sob.

So with my eyes still closed, Darling Tootsie put a veil on my head...I can feel it. I wore a veil! I kinda suspect. When I opened my eyes, the song: "Somebody" was played in the background (I had to visualise that because Darling told me he had forgotten to play that song!)

I saw .....some candles lighted up...In fact this is the piece of art that Darling Tootsie has made for the past one week but was ruined and its a pity he did not take a picture of it. Its a candle layout lighted with the words : Will You Marry Me . I knew this art piece was hard to make. According to him, he had to steam the candles and melt them and pour them into the tealight forming the letter

Candle layout lighted with the words : Will You Marry Me however it was ruined...a pity though.

Next Darling Tootsie presented to me this huge ring. It was really huge and very creative of him :)

He knelt down and pop the question:

Darling Tootsie: Can I ask you a question?

I replied: Yes?

Darling Tootsie: Will you marry me?

As usual I giggled alittle and said Yes :)

Besides that Darling Tootsie has hand made a furry book with an angel wing which represents me :) He has penned all his love in this book (a total of 4 pages that took him 30 mins to write) and I was touched by what he wrote. My eyes did rimmed with tears abit but not so exaggerating to the extend my tears will drop. I was really touched and appreciated of what he has done for me!

A book of love :) Sweet! Very touched indeed!

I guessed the sea cockroaches wanna share this happiness for us and they came back again! I freaked out once again and wanna get back to the bench *_*

So at the bench, darling presented his proposal "ring"...nope its not a ring. It was a unique proposal of a watch :) Thank u darling, but you shouldnt have spent so much on that.


And the finale, a toast of champagne. Cheers! and we ended the lovely night at Chai Chee minced meat noodle place where I electrocuted Darling Tootsie keke :P

A Beautiful Memory that is still in my mind even when I dreamed of it :)

Love u Darling...And once again Happy 2nd Anniversary! Hope you like the muffins I made for u:)
