Where to pop the question?



Woohoo, it’s finally the time! 🎉

First and foremost, you need to decide on the theme of your proposal and secure a venue.

Do you want it to be an upscale one-in-a-lifetime experience or do you want it to keep it simple? It really depends on your preference and budget. For me, I firmly believe that a sincere and warm proposal that touches the heart is most important! I also believe that a simple proposal doesn’t mean that the location will be bad.

Some places that I thought are nice:
  • Memorable dating places
  • Parks with lots of flowers/ near the sea (Gardens by the Bay, Botanic Gardens, parks)
  • Restaurants (I quite like the idea of rooftop restaurants/ restaurants that overlook the cityscape, restaurants in parks are nice too)
  • Tourist places (SEA Aquarium, Singapore Flyer)
  • Overseas trip 
Ideally, it should be at a location that is comfortable. You don’t want to have bad hair/ sweating/ extra nervous when you pop the question since you want the moment to be video recorded for future memories!

Things to consider:
  • If it’s a public space, do check out the crowd level and assess if it’s suitable for you. 
  • Also, if your location is open air, prepare for rainy day back-up plan!

What to prepare for the proposal day?

Image
Stay true, stay gold Before starting planning the details of your proposal, you first need to have a gauge on whether the lady is ready. Both of you should have talked about marriage and have an mutual understanding/ agreement on your plans for the future. It is also important to give the lady's parents heads-up before the proposal as a sign of respect. First things first, you should have a location in mind. Read my previous post for more ideas. 💡 Next, you will need to plan out the flow of events/ timeline for yourself and your helpers to successfully roll out the proposal. Some key items to think about: What do you plan to do before the surprise proposal? You want to make it seem like a really casual day out so it shouldn't have any suspicious components. What do you plan to do during the proposal itself? The cliche but touching guitar-and-song proposal or kneeling down on your knees with a heartfelt message and promise for the future?  What you plan to do after...

Considerations before applying for a new HDB flat

Image
It has become more challenging to get your ideal flat due to land constraints  and high demand for new flats (not just from young couples!). The current rule at HDB is that everyone can only choose 1 type of flat (e.g. 4-room) at 1 location (e.g. Kallang) at a time, and go through a balloting process, where if successful, then proceed with flat purchase. There are penalties for rejecting an offer along the way - such as forfeit in option fee/ downpayment and being given a lower priority for the next application (read penalties here ).  So, it's very important that you make a careful consideration so you won't regret your decisions later on!  Process for buying a new HDB flat You may like to check out this link or more details on the costs involved at each stage of the application.  What are some of the things to consider before applying for a flat? 1.
