I am engaged

Chung and Alice Christmas 2005

We are getting married! Don't know when, and don't know when yet. We will have the details once we have the "talk" and figure out our "plan". I am very happy and excited now! I spend the whole morning yesterday to spread the good news. I thank God that he is our God, and he has always been leading us in our relationship. I am looking forward to serving him together as a couple. hee hee... married.

How does it happen?

It is about 12:00am on 12/16, the day after Valenline day! Chung and I just drove me back home from a beautiful dinner at McCormick & Schmick's Seafood Restaurants. Romantic atomostphere, humerous server, elegant resturant, and declious dessert. The best part is cheapu bill, because I got this 20 dollar gift certificate from my co-worker. This is awesome!

In the car, he asked me, "Is there anything you want to do before we get married?" I think a little bit. hmmm... this is interesting, all the things I want to do before getting married, are things I want to do it with Chung like serving God together, just go out and shopping together.... eating together... yeah... Deep in our heart, I realized that..., our relationship has come to a point, where our life has become part of us... We desire to share our moments with each other.

We parked the car in front of my door, we talk and joking around as usual. All of the sudden, the gossips that I heard from chung and my family pops up of my head. I am debating whether I should tell chung or not... yeah... I don't want to ruin his plan... but I am too excited.. that.. let's just say it... To give you some background, last Christmas, Chung has secretly asked my daddy about the marriage. My dad was too excited that, he started sharing with my relatives, and then my relative decide to call and tell me.... ah ha... and also, about my dad asks me "did chung asks you anything yet?".... and also last week, when we were visiting LongView with my family, our family is already talking about the wedding, and what house should we buy... wow... the heat is on.

So, here we are in the car, I told him everything that he thought that I don't know... o no.... maybe i shouldn't say it.. :P sitting in the car.. i think chung is wondering.. "what should i do?"... then chung asks me, so do you think you are ready?.... I stopped laughing for a moment, I want to make sure that I am not serious about answer the question. I told him I am ready. Then he said, "OK"..... he extends over and open the front storage cabinet... and there it is the ring... wow... It is a ring that he has bought on his trip to Macau.. last August.. I am a little bit surprised... but happy at the same time...

He say it in Chinese, "Will you marry me?".... At this point, I am could not stop laughing... i am just too happy... I told him "HO ar"..... (chinese means yes).... and then he put the ring in my hand.. fit perfectly.. :0)... beautiful... and precious... Then we continue to talk some more about how much is the ring... what were you originally plans...

I did not cry or get very emotional, in fact chung thinks that I am quite calm. but my feeling at that point, is happy, sweet, natural.... and it is just the way it should be... to me.. it is just perfect!

THE END. :0)....
