911

Today is a serious day for US because 10 years old the Twins Towers of the World Trade Center in New York was crashed by two planes. It was a very stunning to everyone but today was another thing happened which is also very stunning to me and Cathy.

Since 2 months ago we decided to rent a room in Gold Coast Hotel during moon festival for celebration. There is a very nice hotel beside a calm long beach. A lot of couple also chooses this place for their wedding ceremony. As a professional photographer I definitely brought the whole gadget with me because I want to play “Light painting” during dark night.

We arrived there around noon, after having a lunch over there we had a pencil sketch along the market. I am so enjoyed people do this kind of sketch to me especially under the beautiful weather with good mood. The guy took around 30mins to complete the drawing, may be this was still too early for him to start to work, I can’t really recognize that were me and Cathy on the paper. If this kind of level also can make business on the street, may be one day I can do it as well if I retire.

After check-in in Gold Coast Hotel, we went to the beach to enjoy the nature. Because Cathy didn’t expect to swim at the beginning, it was only myself swimming along the gentle beach. I think it is a waste if we come over the beach but didn’t jump into the water, therefore, I kept swimming until my muscle got tired. After around an hour, we went back to the hotel and have a long long break.

At night, we went to the night market for some hand making products and had a dinner in western restaurant. Afterward we went to the beach and set up the camera for “Light painting”. It was the trick begun. We had a lot of fun of drawing different kind of graphics and wordings on the frame. There was one time I tried to write a word “Marry me?” she was smiling and questioning me “who talk to who?”. I said, “Of course I am waiting for you to say this word.” Then she was just silent. Actually I want to tease her a little bit more time to bring her emotion down but after the “Lighting painting” exercise it made us really tired walking around above the sand and it was almost to rain, so we grabbed everything and went back to hotel around 11pm.

I told her I have difficult to take out the key and let her went in first, I was already asked a bellboy to put a bouquet onto the room, I supposed she will see it immediately after she went in. But she was not, she just passed-by the bouquet so I pointed to it and said, “yeee~ what is that?”, she was surprise and then turned her face from smile to laugh and said, “I don’t know what it is too~”. “Yes, it is for you and please holds it, I have another thing to show you too.” I said. After she holds it, we were both sitting on the bed. I was holding the engagement ring on my hand but can’t even say a word. I bent my body close to her and keep a breath for 3 seconds then I said gently, “Will you marry me?”. I saw some tears running on her eyes and she said, “ng ng~” Because “ng ng” is not a correct answer for this format conversation then I said again, “Will Lau-Kit-Yan marry Wong Sing Man?” She just nodded her head and said, “ng ng~, a girl like me is waiting for this question for a long time.”

From the engagement ring to this romantic occasion, I prepared for 2months already. I was impressed that she accepted my “deposit”, I also am proud of that I can have this beautiful wife to come along in my boring life.
