Sometimes it is just too hard to explain things that happen in life, no matter how hard you try to find one! At the end, we all conclude it as FATE. I am experiencing an event in my life that most of us will call it as fate...:-)
I met this guy 3 years ago in one of the toastmasters meeting, when I was the President for my home club. At that time he was a newbies in toastmasters arena and was already made the treasurer of his club. My memory bank tells me i do not have special impression about this guy except knowing that he is 130KM away from KL and he is with a security firm. Oh ya, he looked pretty cool and was so so so quiet. Wonder if he ever talks...
Thereafter, his name card is so well kept in my cardholder album. I guess my name card ended the same at his end. And we were just too busy with life and I have totally forgotten about this guy.
Somehow last year, dunno why, out of the blue we get reconnected again and straight away I could recall this super quiet guy that I met before. There were many occasions that we could actually meet up but somehow I was either too busy or I purposely took a rain check without telling him any reasons. I didn't know how he reacted each time but I know I just moved on with my busy working life.
As we continue to stay in touch, close touch i mean, strangely and slowly we got together, one day we realized cupid has actually strike us! The then quiet guy became my partner. I could not imagine this! But it is REAL and unexplainable that I am sharing a lot of things in life with him. It is so wonderful when you have a soulmate that you could share your smile and sorrowness!
Last night, we attended the Valentine Nite organized by the toastmasters clubs in Mandarin Division. Last night was the most memorable and meaningful valentine night I ever had! Towards the half of the event, my partner was telling me that someone has requested him to be the magician and he has to perform on stage in a while. And he told me he tried hard to squeeze for ideas. And he looked tremendously in stress as if he is having a hard time thinking of ideas. But I am worst off, trying to help with the ideas but to no avail.
The MC was calling his name, time for his magic show! Well, I was still innocently thinking of how is he going to handle the magic show, he is not a magician! He then asked for his prop to be carried up on stage, and that convince me even more that he is into the magic show! Wonder how he is going to do it! Well, I must admit I was too innocent! He had a big paper box on the stage, but nobody know what was inside. He was appealing to the crowd that if they could show their encouragement to him, he would perform even better. Clever chap, that is how he garnered the loudest clap from the crowd without telling them to clap! I learnt this!
He was asking for a lady volunteer to assist him and one of the female member volunteered. He said "Your height is not so right for me, I need someone else." He then said "Can I invite Lay Kun to be the volunteer?" The crowd responded and I accepted the call...I walked forward. I was asked to stand on the stage facing a long wooden panel that is full of Chinese Caligraphy. But I wasn't interested on what is written on the wall instead what is going to happen next.. and his 2 helpers were busy taking instruction to cover my vision with a big piece of cloth! The pink cloth is big enough to wrap me entirely. The cloth is suppose to block my view from what is happening behind me...and the BOX!
But in the end, he asked his 2 helpers to drop the cloth and asked me to turn facing the box! "Can you help me to open this box!" Guess what I saw??? A big bouquet of flowers, I mean really BIG, it is a bunchful! I must tell you that my heart was beaten so fast when I saw that and I know what is going to happen next. My tears was rolling in my eyes and I was holding it hard! He then hold the bunch of flowers, knelt down and positioned himself. At that time, I didnt know what was happening around me and among the friends. He put his mic right and said:
"丽君，你愿意嫁给我做我太太吗？"
It was so clear and wishful!
I was so touched and I never thought that was his magic show! My tears bank was swelling and burst when I can't hold it anymore. My dear, we have almost 70 people (if I got it correctly) witnessing his proposal and I am the focus right now...my answer!
I bent down and accepted the bouquet of flowers from him...and I said through the mic:
"我愿意!"
My tears was rolling down my cheek non-stop...that was the tears of joy and happiness! He gave me a peck on my cheek and he moved on and said..."I knew Lay Kun 3 years ago in one of the meeting. Last year we get re-connected when I was looking for a test speaker for the speech contest (someone from the crowd interjected that he was actually looking for a wife :-))...That is how we get started and it is blossoming until now. Thank you for all your encouragement in helping me to complete this!"
I could not hear much about what others said as I was too excited and happy! As we walked down from the stage, we received lotsa congratulations from the crowd!
That moment was so capturing and precious, I felt truly great about it! Not only for the surprise that my fiance has given to me, also on our sincerity and commitment in bringing our relationship thus far. Now that we are committing for a family!
I am attracted to the good values in him and I am sure we are able to walk through life with continuos support and encouragement conveyed to each other.
It is a night that will always close to my heart!
