After months of research on the internet, friends and almost most of my male friends around my age. I have finally got all the necessary items prepared.
Drafted my Proposal Vow
Diamond from Blue Nile, collected from Hong Kong (Less tax than Singapore)
Sent to Jann Paul for setting (similar to Tiffany & Co)
Booked the flower from future florist about a stone throw away from Catalunya
Booked the best spot in Catalunya for two.
On the day it self, in the afternoon, I wore the best shirt I have got in my wardrobe and collected my engagement ring from Jann Paul after which I went to the florist and brought the bouquet of 99 roses to Catalunya to speak to the manager on duty Anna about the arrangement.
I must say Catalunya staffs were very friendly, they showed me the table which I am going to sit, facing MBS, that night, and also asked clearly about how the proposal could be done which I am very grateful of looking from hindsight now. Little things can be terribly wrong if is with the wrong person.
After all the discussion with Catalunya staff, I walked back to raffles city and sat down in Costa for a cup of Earl Grey Lavender to relax my self before the actual thing.
I stayed in the coffee shop for a while practicing my Vow so that I speak fluently later when is in the actual thing.
After waiting for a while in Costa, I saw Jenny walking pass the full height glass towards the glass door of Costa, I waved at hear and asked her to come in for a sit as the time is still slightly early for our reservation at 7pm. I was told there will be a laser shows around 0815pm.
After a brief talk, I then told her that I would like to bring her to a good place to have dinner tonight as it is my birthday the next day. Initially she first rejected as she said it was too expensive, and she nearly get angry because I kept insisting.Without any more delay, I quickly bring her to the restaurant so that we would not change to somewhere else.
Upon entering the restaurant, Anna immediately spotted me and started to touch her colleague next to her, signalling that I am the guy that will be proposing tonight in Catalunya. One waitress guided us to our table and sat us down.

So as what we normally do, we always order one portion and share between ourselves, that would be cheaper and we consume less calories.
Without any delay, we started our appetizer and main course with side dish. Although their dishes are small in size, but I must say their food is great and very presentable. A very unique experience.
After our main meal, we ordered a birthday cake, jenny spoken to the waitress that to make it a birthday cake. Of course, the waitress duly listened to her instruction and said would come back later with the dessert with the birthday candle. While Miss J is speaking to the waitress, Anna came over and signaled to me that she will be bringing the roses out soon.
My heart start to beat faster and my hands start sweating. I quickly get the engagement ring from my bag and hold it in my hang while I was waiting for the dessert and also the flowers.
Without any delay, the dessert was served to our table, with a decoration saying "Will You Marry Me". While the bouquet of flowers was brought over to the table by Anna too.
I quickly stand up, grabbed the flowers from Anna, and pass the flowers to Jenny, I took the engagement ring out from my pocket and knelt down in front of her, with all the other patrons at my back. I started to speak my Proposal Vow, with one hand holding her hand, and another holding the engagement ring.
I ended my proposal vow with the question "Will You Marry Me?" and She said "YES!"
The crowd at the back of me was like cheering for my success, and I hugged jenny.
We were both over the moon that night!
