THE Proposal

Many a times, in a woman's life, there will be moments when you wonder about how life would be like through your 20' right up till 30s. Will you be married, start a family, have kids, grow old with your partner, your soul mate as many would call it.

And many a times, you wonder, if making a decision is the right one you would make, and you realise, all your life, the "what if's" syndrome will haunt you in every possible way, especially when things go wrong.

Marriage proposal was not necessary for me, i always figured, you know you're going to get married, and long distance relationship is as to the extreme as it is.

I remember this saying, watching "Taken", ok, yes,I am a movie, drama, books freak at times but... i love it! So, anyway, Dakota Fanning was saying this:

Sometimes the best way to move into the unknown is to take familiar steps, small steps. To do ordinary things to deal with something that is in no way ordinary. We're always going someplace new, all the time. Familiar things just let us pretend that we aren't moving into unfamiliar territory. You take those small familiar steps, and you try to be honest, not to live as if nothing had changed but still to go on with your life. But there are times when what you need is a piece of how things used to be.

So, folks, 21st Jan, at 8.00pm (SIN time), 7.00am (CAN time) and 12.00pm (Denmark time), Lars said, "Idah, will you marry me?" and that changed everything!

It felt real than it was months ago, a man and not just any man, the man you know you want to spend the rest of your life with, proposed to me! not the neighbour next door, not the friend i know, not anyone else, but me! :)

On behalf of all the Mondays that i drag for so many years, this is one Monday i will not forget! I am actually smiling and dont need 10 mugs of coffee to keep my sanity level to normal rate. Expecting the world to treat you fairly because you are good is like expecting the bull not to charge because you are a vegetarian.

The real trouble with reality is that there's no background music.
