Girls, would you ever have the guts to propose to a guy?

MynameisQUE;


Love is such a beautiful thing, don't you think? 

No, don't get me wrong. I'm not proposing to anyone. Just that I've been watching alot of videos about wedding proposals and I thought it would be nice to share it with you. It could probably give you more ideas on how to make your wedding proposal memorable. 

This man fell in love. Literally. I thought this idea is pretty simple and creative. ;)

 Dena Bahrin's proposal. This is probably one of the sweetest and the most unbelievable of the lot. Fine, it's only unavailable because I don't think Malay men are even romantic or gutsy to begin with. Sorry boys! I couldn't help but to tear after watching this. Read Dena's post here. ~

Well basically Dena and her partner haven't really met/gotten to know each other well. So he gave her a camera as a gift (Pretty smart! Cus the camera is actually one of the things on her wishlist according to her blog. LOL) So in the camera, were pictures of him with the proposal. 

This proposal was by Timothy Tiah, co founder of Nuffnang with Malaysian blogger Audrey fourfeetnine using internet memes. Read Audrey's post here :) ~~

It got so viral that the video was even up on Mashable! Crazy!

I'm sure you've watched this a long time ago, our blogger queen Xiaxue was also proposed in a romantic way ever. I was lucky to witness it with my own eyes too! (Okay, long story short, I used to be a Nuffnang Gliterrati + blogger. Shall not go into that.)

It was actually a movie screening and I got a tad annoyed because the movie didn't start on time. I was grumbling, "Man, when is this going to start?!" and suddenly some video appeared on the screen and the proposal happened. It was amazing. Really. :")

I think of all the proposals I've seen, this is really the most dramatic one. Her boyfriend really planned the whole proposal really well! Flash mob, the cheating drama etc. Wow.

And then I recently came across an article on stomp about a China girl proposing to her boyfriend.



A GIRL, yes. So.... Would you girls ever do this to your boyfriend? My first reaction when I read this article was, "Is she out of her mind?!!!". Hahahahaha, well it's sweet though. Let's see when the time comes when I'm old enough + have enough money, whether I'll have the guts to do the same. It would be interesting. I just hope I don't get turned down. :P

Well, before my boyfriend and I got together, he dropped hints that he liked me here and there but he was never straightforward about liking me. Even until now, he's STILL very shy with me. Cute!! :)

You know me, I don't like hints. I don't like guessing games. So one day, I just decided to be honest about it. I asked him to be my boyfriend...... Via Whatsapp. You know, via the emoticons? Hahahahaha YES, I KNOW RIGHT. Fine, it might seem really shameless to you, but it was really sweet for the both of us. Cus after he agreed I told him, "No, do it again. This time, you ask me!" and he did. You could say that our relationship isn't very "typical", but it's the little details like this that makes it all worthwhile.

Anyway, bf's birthday is this month. Hopefully I can plan something sweet for him. Have any ideas? Feel free to share it via the comment box below!

The difference between movies and real life.

In real life, you don't always get a happy ending. –Jake Ryan

The ex boyfriend will end his bachelorhood in about 16 hours. It's hard to imagine someone you've ever loved getting married to someone else. About a month ago, he announced his engagement on Facebook, and now he's getting married. What's the rush, I wonder? I guess, they must be madly in love.

How does anyone know whether the person they're dating is "the one"? You don't know exactly for sure, don't you?

He's the oldest guy i've ever dated. It was amazing while it lasted. There's this 1 thing he'll keep reminding me everytime. "Put your parents/family first, then education, then friends and then boyfriend can be in the picture. Make sure you set your priorities right".

I guess I was abit too childish for him, he couldn't keep up? Also, Syahmi says I'm an emotionally distraught girl. Guess that explains why he left me for the other girl.... And he's marrying her tomorrow.

Haha well, suck it up. There's more to life other than relationships and falling in love. 

Merry Xmas everyone!

Ps:// He still owes me money. Ya lah owe people money but can get married, buy for the girl ring everything. Men are so annoying wtf.

What's my idea of an IDEAL MAN. Well, here's a checklist!

MynameisQUE;

They say that every girl has their own checklist. Don't know if this will sound weird, but I've never listed out the characteristics ever. I mean, there are a few traits I'd like to see in my future spouse, but I'm always dating men that normally don't fall in my "ideal" man category, so why bother right? But I thought it would be rather cool to have the characteristics listed down here on my blog. Don't worry, I know that men who score well on my checklist normally either are taken, not interested in me or obviously don't exist. So... Here goes! 

1) Funny

Yes, he should be able to make me laugh naturally. Like he doesn't have to try too hard or make lame jokes. He's just entertaining like that and he knows how to socialise and hold a good conversation. 

2) Romantic

It's hard to find someone who'd sit down for half a day just to write a poem for you. He should be someone who enjoys long walks on the beach, picnic under the stars, just hanging out the the singapore river to talk and talk. When we're out on a date, he could surprise me with something I like. Someone who'd take my breath away. 

3) A food lover

No, when I talk about being a food lover, it also should mean that he doesn't chew his food loudly or eat like a glutton. It simply means that he is very adventurous when it comes to food. We'd try new places to discover "hidden gems" and bond over good food. 

4) Speaks and SMSes me in proper English

Yes, this is extremely important for me. I cannot stand it when I receive texts in broken English. And plus most of the time, I converse in English so... Yes, THIS IS IMPORTANT. 

5) Does not look down on the Malay language or race whether he's Malay or not

Don't laugh. You know how passionate I am about my own race. I know we have our own societal issues, but that doesn't mean that anyone has any right to pass any mean comments about it. As much as I converse in English, I love the Malay language because it's beautiful. Plus, my late grandpa and my grandma were Malay teachers. So....... ;) 

6) Takes pride in the way he dresses

He doesn't have to be extremely fashionable, but being neat is always important for first impression. No slippers on first date!

7) Understands and Accepts 

Understands my passion for social media, why I'm active online, why I blog, tweet, Facebook alot. 

Many people around me still don't understand why it's such a big deal for me. It'll be nice to meet someone who's supportive and understanding about this for a change. Also, it would also mean that he should be able to accept me for who I am. My personality, my fashion sense, my sense of humour etc. :) 

8) READS MY BLOG.

 What? The best way to know more about me is to read this blog okay? I'd like to know that this guy has done his research and is really interested to find out more about me.  :) 

9) Personality wise, he has to be REAL. 

Someone who's down to earth and doesn't live to impress others. Not afraid to be himself. This also means that he's honest to himself and the people around him. I'm looking for someone with a character and good values because that will differentiate one man from another. 

10) Takes the initiative to plan dates 

This is rather hard because normally guys aren't really the kind who plan. Normally I'll be the one planning. Sometimes I enjoy myself simply because it's nice to make the other party happy. There was once, I blindfolded someone special and brought him to Esplanade. That's probably the most memorable meeting meeting because it was really random. ;) 

BONUS: If he's chubby and cute. 

So what do you think? Is my list too demanding or is it possible for me to find someone with at least 2 or 3 characteristics which I've listed down? I think it's possible. I just have to look harder. Honestly, I'm open to possibilities. Who knows? Maybe I'll end up with someone who scores badly on my checklist, but at the same time he's simple and he makes me happy. You'll never know what the future brings.

"Although we'll like to know what life's got planned, no one knows when shooting stars will land." :)

You must be wondering why I'm suddenly writing about this. Well, yesterday I watched a movie on Youtube called the Beauty and the Briefcase featuring Hilary Duff as the lead actress. Girls, you so have to watch it!

I ♥ U, but I want to strangle you!!

MynameisQUE;

It's funny how you care and love someone so much but yet most of the time you just feel like strangling the person. I have to salute couples who have been together for a very long time. I really wonder how they do it. How do you go through thick and thin with someone and still be there after a long time? It makes me wonder. Why am I writing this post?

Well, it's only because I wanted to post this photo of my bf and me on my blog. It's a cute photo, don't you think? I don't know what's the deal but I think boys are extremely annoying. Yes, that's including him. We're going through a tough time now with so many things in our way but I can safely say that the both of us are trying our best to keep things going. Oh come on, we're a new couple. Don't give us stares. Different relationships have it's own different hurdles.... Right? 

From what I observe, relationships last because there's GIVE and TAKE. Because there's CARE and SHARE. Because there's PATIENCE. And most of the time it comes from both parties. Thing is, I'm not a very patient person. I think I'm an extremely selfish person. Sigh..... 

Boys and girls, please appreciate what you have now. :')

You know, a friend told me that he doesn't believe in relationships before being financially stable. SERIOUSLY? My parents were in a relationship before being financially stable. A relationship happens when 2 people fall in love with each other. What's wrong with that? 

To all the lovers out there, keep fighting for your love.

Men.

This is obviously a rant. I'm so annoyed that most men don't understand us women. What's so hard? We just want to be treated like how the girls in the movies were being treated. It's not funny. Can't you be at least as thoughtful like the ones in those romcoms? Don't tell me we need to point everything out to you. We're girls. We give clues and your job is to figure them out. Don't do things that you don't want us to do to you. It's a simple rule. This is a pretty redundant rant. Oh well. Haha i just made myself sound like a spoilt brat. Tsk.
