when the sun, moon and stars aligned..

4th July is the widely known US Independence Day, but on this day, halfway across the other side of the globe, at the northern tip of NSW, my milkboy finally proposed :):):):):):):)
it was a lovely day to begin with, we had made plans to visit Eug's mummy's puppy which she has bought here (to be shipped to SG when he's 3months' old) to take some pics and play w him before he goes back.
it was a bright and cloudless day and we travelled almost 120km down south to the dog farm at Murwillumbah.
We reached there early and took a walk nearby to take photos of the vast farmland and to the background of the mountains and took heaps of photos! (loved the weather!)
the pine we picked up on the side of the road. What a great prop to use! :P
this is my favourite shot! :P
doesn't he look ADORABLE????
the family photo :Pwe went to Byron Bay after the visit to spend the rest of the day there. Little did I know that the plan has already been set into motion... :):):)
we made a visit to the lighthouse for photo opportunities but it was so crowded even though it was mid-day. the view was great nonetheless and the vast Pacific Ocean was simply breathtaking.
The lighthouse kind of reminded me of the white houses in Santorini, Greece, somewhere that I'd like to go with Eug someday :)
We drove back to the town centre to have a quick shop and rested our feet at Twisted Sistas cafe with a good cup of Chai Latte each and huge rich slice of raspberry cheesecake. YUMS!!
The place was pretty small and quirky town, with boutiques, cafes and restaurants dotting along each side of the road leading to the beach.
There wasn't much else to do and so we thought we'll nest ourselves at the beachside to see the sunset.
Everything was perfect. The sun setting in the west end with the moon already high up on the east. Then I thought about something that Eug said when I'd always ask him when will he propose (very unabashedly :P) "when the sun, moon and stars aligned".
And I thought "hmm, the sun and moon are both up in the skies now but there's no stars yet. maybe it's not now"
We cuddled up till the sky turned dark before we head to the nearby restaurant for fresh grilled catch of the day.
and I thought again "hmm, it's getting late i think we should be heading home after dinner. I guess there shouldn't be anything happening..."
And Eug suggested taking a stroll along the beach. I didn't want to initially because it was freezing outside with the sea wind but I'd thought why not give ourselves some time before the night really ends?
And then I saw the starry skies hanging above our heads and I gaped in awe.
We walked to a part of the beach where there was not many people in sight and Eug suddenly hugged me from behind. Just when i was getting drowsy from the food (i almost fell aslp!), he whipped out his iPhone and asked me to play this video....

I cried buckets when I saw how he painstakingly drew every frame of the video of our story and when the words came out at the end, he took out a pink box from his pocket and asked "Will you marry me?" to which I nodded in between my buckets of tears as he slid the ring into my finger.
I was speechless, just like how he said he'd make me if he propose. It was so silly when I finished crying but I was happy. Really happy :):):):):)
I text-ed everyone on our way home to share the happy news and I couldn't stop starting at the huge bling on my 4th left finger because it has been barren for too long! Now that sparkle will just about brighten up my life everyday from now on :D
P/S: we saw a shooting star on our way home too! God is amazing!! :)
Thank you for everything that you've done, I'm so glad and thankful that we're able to spend the rest of our lives together, knowing how much we love each other and how much we meant to one another. I love you darling...
