December 20, 2009 7:20PM @ Wollman Rink, Central Park, NYC
Short description on how I proposed long version available on Facebook: In general I coordinated my proposal with two of Xiu Dan's really good friends, Monisha and Yalan. I made sure that they had a Christmas celebration that date and plan to go to ice skating afterwards.
Meanwhile I slowly set up myself by talking a little earlier and less on the phone when I'm in Hong Kong and told her I was going to China for work on the Friday that I was flying into NYC. When I got to NYC I had two of my best friends Jeff and Kelvin to fly over to help me with some of the intricate details that I need to do for the proposal.
I also made sure that I call her through Skype so that when I was actually in NYC she would still think I'm in either China and Hong Kong.
On Dec. 20, I had Kelvin helped me make the announcement to ask make a special announcement to get Xiu Dan Chan to please go to the center of the rink. The superb rink staff helped me with some of the coordination and made sure everybody stopped skating, which they then formed a crowd around a circle that Xiu Dan stood inside.
This is when I had my pre-recorded "Fly me to the moon" playing that I've been practicing for weeks, skated to the center of the rink with my 99 roses (would've been 100 but used one of them for room decoration). Sang along with my pre-recordings then finally put down the roses and dropped down to my knees and show the ring while I popped the question.
Xiu Dan as you can see in the video started nodding pretty much before i even finished the question. lol
