JUST BACK FROM MY KRABI trip with my darling V. Or should i say ahem...my Husband to BE!?? Yes proud to say i am going to be mrs NG!
V took our holiday trip/ my birthday gift as an excuse to propose to me. Throughout the trip he was very sweet to me, though he is ALWAYS very sweet to me. Well maybe MORE sweet than usual. BUt of coz who am i to complain when he is always ever so patient with me.
I must say he did put in effort into this proposal and i never could guess how he actually can find the time to get the ring and everything prepared. The whole process well how to put it...had me very touched. Let me try and pen this whole process down for future reference, though i already kept all his props that he had used for the proposal. =)
We arrived in Krabi on Thursday 22nd Mar around 6pm. It was quite a nerve wrecking touchdown. Was not sure what i ate but i had a major tummyache just as we were touching down. I rush down to the toilet the moment the air stewardess opened the cabin door. Anyways, V went to get us a cab after we cleared the customs. Cab fare was 600bht approx 25SGD.
Basically our itinerary was to stay in mainland- Ao Nang for 1 night before going to Railay Bay resort for the rest of our trip. A lot of places had been booked up so we managed to find a place call Blue Village off sawadee.com. It is quite a quaint little place with little huts all around, and it was about 10 mins walk from the main town.
After dumping our stuff and had a look through our little hut, we head towards town for dinner. Relaxing walk, hand in hand we were all ready to enjoy our little trip. It was nice. After walking around buying souvenirs mainly for MYSELF, we decided we got to eat. So we sat down at a little thai bbq place where we ordered some simple fare, and took some pictures.
Afterwhich, we continue walking around the beachfront and booked our tour for the rest of the 2 days that we were going to be in Krabi, bearing in mind that we will be moving to Railay the next day. We booked ourselves a day jungle tour + a day snorkeling at Phi Phi islands tour. Went back to Blue Village after booking our tours to rest for the next day of activities. At 12mn (my bday), V gave me 3 stalks of fake roses with 3 little notes attached to it. It was very simple and sweet. He told me that this trip was his gift to me, so he can only give me these simple roses. I was quite moved already, I mean how sweet is that. Anyway, was very tired I reckon from the night before (worked late).
Next morning when I woke up for the trip, I found another 6 roses beside me. All had little notes on it with more promises he would fulfill for me. I was like geez…what time did you get up to place the roses beside me. He wouldn’t tell me till date. Anyway off we go for the day trip, hiking round jungles and swimming in hot springs. It was nothing fantastic I thought. We went back to Ao Nang about 4pm. Had to get our luggage and head for a long tail boat that will bring us to Railay West where we will be staying for the rest of our trip.
It was getting dark with rain clouds approaching so we were hurrying for the boat to go faster. As we were making our way there, rain started coming down as little drizzle. So we were hoping to get to dry grounds before it poured. As usual, it does not happened the way you wanted, and the rain did POUR down before we head to dry grounds. We ran and ran once we were off the boat to a little café/ pub. It was quite depressing, running around with 2 big luggage especially for my dear V. I was alright since I just had to run. But he got to RUN with 2 big bags. I did offer to carry my own but he did not want me to.
In the end we just le-pak at the café till the rain went away. Basically stayed there till about 5pm where we finally could check ourselves to our hotel- Railay Bay resort and SPA. It was quite a nice hotel. After dumping our stuff, and giving me another 3 more roses, V dragged me out to go swimming. I was like no I would like to have a bath first. But he said no and dragged me out to the hotel bayside pool facing the lovely sea. I decided to just relak by the pool and perhaps get a chance to see the sun set since apparently you can see it from Railay. At about 530 or so he says, he asked me to go to the deck chair but I blatantly refuse as it was quite cold, and I was quite comfy inside the pool.
V decided to show me my final gift inside the pool. He came down with a little glass bottle with an anklet and another rose to wish me happy birthday. I was quite appalled by his taste of the anklet, though there was a star in it but it was absolutely hideous. But I did not tell him coz he was sweet enough to get me the gifts and everything else. Then he presented me with a bouquet of flowers with the line ‘Will you marry me?’ And he whipped out his ring and ask me again since I was speechless. I said yes and he slipped the slightly small ring into my left 4th finger.
After the proposal, V told me his original plan. The individual roses were supposed to represent each hour from 12mn onwards till the time he was supposed to propose to me at 5pm. That’s quite sweet right.
Anyway think this is a long enough post. I still got some piccies to share. I will put it in another post. Will let you see v’S PROPS to propose to me…. :)
