dunno why.. maybe i'm too sensitive.. but i feel that when ppl hear dat me n cm have decided to get married.. their first tot is.. "cuz he's rich. so can get married so fast"

yes his dad may be quite rich.. but i'm not marrying his dad! i'm marrying cm! cm n i dun haf much money, to tell the truth. but he wants to go overseas for study. and we wan to be together, so we decided to ROM. it's our own decision! it is because he is responsible enough(to go for 2 weeks holiday is one thing. to stay abroad for 2 years is another thing!) we are not getting a big wedding at a big hotel! not even getting a flat! just a simple rom! why do ppl think we are at an advantage cuz his dad is rich n can pay for everything? precisely we cant pay for everything, we choose not to have a big wedding. just a rom for family n close frens. it's a matter of choice! yes he's got a car. but it belongs to his dad! not him!! u think he can just decide to sell it for money or smthg?? or if he stop driving he can save the petrol money?? the petrol money is paid for by his dad oso wad!! and he is really grateful for it too!

then u ask "he bought u a diamond ring. who can afford a diamond ring when he's still a student?" Yes he bought me a ring. At year-end christmas sale and discount of 40%, plus it's not a big ring, and even tho its from Lee Hwa, it is NOT DESTINEE (hope no one asks me anymore). He spent a lot of effort looking for the best deal.. to be exact, the cheapest but most presentable deal. good n cheap!

a teacher even ask me "why nv ask for a bigger diamond ring?"

BECAUSE i would have said yes no matter he gives me a ring or not. But the fact that he saved up his money and tried so hard to find the best ring he could buy for me touched me tremendously, and made me even more convinced that i can put my trust in him. yes he can easily ask his parents for money to buy a bigger ring. but seriously, would u marry a person like that?

yes my ring is not bigger than others but to me it is the prettiest ring i've ever seen and the only one i want to have. yes we probably are not gg to have a normal wedding dinner. yea his dad can probably pay for it easily, but we are not gg to ask him to do that! we are the ones making this decision despite the fact that cm is still a student. so we have to be responsible for our decision! again, i ask u if u will marry a person who only knows how to ask money from parents?

i envy those who go around choosing flats with their to-be-husbands.. but anywhere with him is home.

i'm glad to have frens who are happy that i've found my happiness. and to those who think me n cm are having an easy time cuz of his family background, i simply dun care. deciding to get married is just the beginning.. do u know how much more we have to do and plan and save up for to really be married? it is a lot of hard work.. no joke!

all these have been cooped up inside of me.. just got to let it out.. i know cm is under a lot of pressure as well.. he's trying to make everything work out.. so i wouldnt need to worry.. and he's working hard on his fyp project.. altho his prof says its ok if it doesnt work.. its just a fyp research proj.. he is still trying his best and he wants to make it work. all i can do to try to cut down on spending, save more money.. dun quit now especially i may not be able to get the same pay elsewhere.. and stop bogging him down with my worries.. i will try..

at the same time, i am glad i'm doing this. i wish that everyone can find their happiness too.. it is not easy, but it is definitely worth it..
