Kuan Yong & Tracy

One Step Ahead

There's a beginning to everything and this is how we started ours...

How we met each other?

How we met each other?

We knew each other when I participated in the Annual Holiday Work Camp(HWC)held in Seck Kia Eenh(SKE), Melaka. It was the 32nd HWC back in 1996.

Subsequently, we both were actively involved in the SKE Dhamma School (SKEDS). We grew even closer when we were assigned to the Kitchen division for a couple of years.

And then, the rest was history...

It was a definite YES!

September 2008

Kuan Yong came to fetch me at 7pm sharp that day as promised. He was dressed smartly and looked pretty anxious. My mom was already grinning at me. I think we both had sensed that something is going on.

We ended up in Olio, Renaissance Hotel, Melaka. We were greeted at the entrance by the restaurant manager, Mr.Oh; a friendly and wonderful person to deal with. We had a great time talking and enjoying the romantic atmosphere. At dessert, he looked pretty 'kan-cheong' and excused himself to the gents.

While waiting, I grabbed a book that I had in my bag and browsed through it. When he was walking to our table, I was still stuffing my head into the book. I was telling myself, "Let me finish this last line. Just one last line".

Then, I heard him calling me, "Sayang". I looked up and I was shocked. He was standing in front of me with 4 waiters and Mr.Oh right behind me. All of them were grinning from ear to ear. Then, he knelt down and whispered "Will you marry me?". He was holding a diamond ring and a bouquet of 100 roses. I looked blackly at him for a while and then, I whispered back "yea" and smiled back.

We smooched and I helped him to his seat. Everyone in the restaurant was clapping and cheering. It was such a memorable day and I definitely going to pin it as one of the best moments in my life. Thanks Sayang.
