And I'm blogging again! Wk hit the nail on the head when she said, "you're blogging more, that means youre mugging more." Ya, by mugging, I mean, I sit at my table, flip open to the correct page, and then when i start to mug, the seed of an idea of an entry just miraculously floats into my head, and as always, the seed just gets bigger and bigger, and I start penning the start of the entry in my head, and then that's it, it justs blocks out all other things in my mind and the only way I can get rid of it is if i blog everything down and press the 'publish' button.
Yesterday, I blogged so that I can come to sch today and happily announce to you guys to check my blog. And I imagined u guys to say, "ya! we read your pri sch entry already!" And then, I would gleefully say, "I've blogged A NEW ENTRY!" So that for once, I can tell you guys that I blogged instead of you guys telling me that I haven't blogged.
BUT! Today, I was simply astounded that all of you (bar Wk, she's seriously behind), and even you my non-jiemei friend, read my new entry liao!! Very touched leh!! (points to name of blog)
And you all pounced on me full of burning questions because of my random entry.
Let's clear the air once and for all: NO! I have NO plans to get married in the near and even the not-so-near future!!!
How come got so many friends ask me? Even Zj! I caught him asking Zh, who asked him to ask me myself, and he did!! -_-"
Anyway, since we were discussing the Singapore Eye proposal today and had such an enlightening discussion abt it, i thought i'd record it down here, to help those guys who are planning on doing the very thing.
Found out from someone, think it was one of the guys (not bad sia, planning for the future) that to do the aforementioned proposing in Singapore Eye (I insist on calling it this because i think its real name doesn't make sense, and also hopefully this way i wun be sued) costs you a tidy sum of $2800!!!!
???!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Got so many pple willing to pay $2800 to propose???!!!!!
To me, I got many thoughts running thru my mind when i heard of this scheme.
Firstly, logistics:
You spend $2800 on a empty moving large room, so of cos you have to make it nice right? But hey, decorating services is not included in the $2800. So you have to do-it-yourself. Cue mental image of a guy dressed in a suit hanging up streamers and blowing balloons. If the five of us, when doing Wk's birthday party had so much trouble blowing balloons, (ok lar minus me, cos i can't blow balloons, refer to december 2006 blog entry for photos of our attempts), think that one guy will be quite poor thing. And quite funny to have the capsule done up like a kid's birthday party.
Then, must have somewhere to sit right, preferably got table also, so that can have romantic dinner. Err so unless you drive a lorry, I figure you have to get one of those foldable kinds. And chairs?? Somehow in my mind floats the image of those red colour plastic chairs used for funeral kind. How abt some music? Aiyo, dun have powerpoint for radio, but nvm, nowadays can use handphone.
Secondly, the dignity:
Bear in mind that because your capsule will be obviously 'special', I bet you that every single person in all the other capsules will be peering at your capsule like people in front of a fish tank to see what you're up to.
So even if things dun go well, cannot be grumpy or burst into tears, must still act like the girl had actually accepted like tat.
If lar, IF, the girl of your dreams reject you how? How to face her for the next 45minutes?? Better have some backup plan lor, like memorise the whole skyline of Singapore, so you can spew into a running commentary of the scenary like a tour guide.
[For the girls, if say you are really caught in the abovementioned situation, and very sadly and unfortunately you are going to reject this guy, then I have some advice for you too. You can either choose a) hem and haw till the 43rd minute until the capsule is near ground level again then say "No thank you! Sorry!" and jump out. But of cos, this only works if the guy is man enough to not arrange with the control tower to stay in mid-air till you say yes. b) reject him directly and then come up with 45reasons as to why you're doing so, provided that you can expound for 1minute on each reason. Think carefully, there are only so many ways you can say, "I'm not ready".
lastly, c) memorise the above tour guide spiel. This one quite difficult cos the Eye may be a surprise destination. Try your best to smoke your way through. Talking abt the merlion is a good idea, cos if u talk abt the legend, the history, developments, various locations and the differences betw each merlion at the various location, i think can take up at least 15minutes.]
Lastly, and most importantly, the money:
$2800 is really alot of money for an empty room with a view. Want view can also take the lift in Pan PAc hotel, free one. I think some people can have the whole wedding for less than that amount of money. And if your girl truly loves you, I'm sure she wouldn't want you to spend such a ridiculous sum of money on her, right?
