On Bended Knees

Today was a day of proposals. Why?

1. In real-time:
My dear friend and classmate, Ms.MCL is now engaged! And it all happened in Ophthalmology lab just now. Her bf (now fiance) actually got down on one knee, told her that she was the only woman that he wants to spend his life with, and asked her if she would do him the honour of being his wife! It was a lovely and sweet surprise; I knew I was gaping throughout and our lecturer (and some of the strapping macho guys in the class, heheh) were moved to tears. It was kinda like one of those Hallmark moments, because the love that they had for each other really shone so bright that it was almost blinding. But the best part of it is that I've actually had the chance of watching something like that with my very own eyes and not only on TV. How cool is that! I am really happy for her, and wish nothing but the best for both of them.

Congrats my dear MCL! May your lives together will be full of love, joy & laughter forever and ever...


2. On reel-time
This was about something on the House tv show. Yeah, I'm fan, and have been faithfully following each and every episode without fail. I really love the show, but needless to say after the shocking (to me at least) twist in the previous episode (S5 Ep20) regarding the untimely and rather gruesome and tragic passing of one of my favourite characters, Kutner (he was supposedly to have shot himself due to unexplained reasons), I did not expect that the writers would come up with another surprise in the show in S5 Ep.21 when Chase got down on his knees and proposed to Allison! And this I watched on the telly just a few hours after the real-time proposal in class! Seems like spring and wedding bells are in the air.....


So, the conclusion is:
"Love is in the air, everywhere we look around...."


p/s: Am trying to compile plausible answers for one of the most dreaded questions that will defintely be thrown at me during my cousin's wedding party this summer. Ideas anyone??

If they ask, start singing, "someday my prince will come," and grin manically. Then ask them to share meds with you.

I think that will make them go away.

May be not. Some relatives are pretty darn persistent.

Say, if you could afford tripping about that part of the world during summer, your absence means the absence of such awkward questions. Win win, y/y?

Haha, that might just work...NOT! They have this perception that I am (quite) right in the head, although maybe I can now use the 'medical-school-is-making-me-go-crazy-and-slightly-cuckoo-in-the-head' reason instead..... Intriguing idea, will be keeping it in my 'crazy-comebacks-to-THE-question' list definitely.

And as for the suggestion that I should just make myself MIA for the day...ARE YOU NUTS??!!! My family (tok nenek all) is gonna have a hissing fit becoz the cousin who's getting married is actually my next door neighbour! No way I could miss it, if I do then I'll never hear the end of it lah babe.

It's not that I'm dreading the day, in fact I can't wait for it becoz I wanna be there for my cousin, but it's just that I dunno how I can survive another bout of "So when is gonna be your turn, my dear?" Qs anymore dah.

The 'advantages' of being the anak+cucu sulung, sigh....
