Our Nuffnang office on one side overlooks the KL tower and a nice city view.
On the other side which is where I sit, it overlooks the walls of some buildings right behind my office building and also the pool area of Sheraton Imperial.
Just a few evenings ago I was standing on my window looking down when I happened to see something peculiar.
Right next to the pool and the deck chairs was something that looked like a small dining table for two. I squinted to get a closer look and true enough, it was a dining table all set up with table cloth, silverware and all.
I started paying a little bit more attention and when I looked down at the pool area again closer to the dinner time I noticed that they cleared out all the deck chairs.
Only the table was left on the pool area. On top of that they lit candles that came from inside the hotel all the way to the table.
And we could see all the hotel staff that would be serving that night gathering outside for a meeting.
They even brought out the chef.
I wanted to stay to see what happened but I couldn’t.. had to run off before the guy and girl came. So I’ll never know what really happened that night but if I had to guess… here’s what I think might have happened.
The guy brings the girl up the hotel elevator to the pool area. Right after she takes the first step out of the elevator, she sees candles lit all the way from her feet to a table for two that sat right next to the pool.
The guy would then say.
“Follow the candles”
And like a curious girl scout she walked from the elevator alongside the candles all the way to the table where the staff who would serve them that night stood waiting. There would be 3-4 of them. The chef, the restaurant manager, the hotel manager and their waiter for the night.
When it all finally sinks in, she shrieks in excitement but eventually gathers herself after 2 minutes of hysteria to sit down on the table. There would be no menus served that night.The guy already ordered her the special baked cod fish he noticed she always had every time they went to a fancy restaurant. She was a bit less simple when it came to the appetizer though. She always bounced around either the Caesar Salad or the Hungarian Goulash. He couldn’t decide so he ordered them both to be safe.
For music, he had a Quartet dressed in Tuxedos greet them both one by one when they arrived then played her favourite classical music, 8 feet away from their table throughout the rest of the night.
Towards the end of the night, just after the main course but before desert, he would take her hand and walk her around the pool. It is then that he would get on his knees, pop out the ring that he spent the last weekend picking out and say “Darling… I love you for everything you are and everything you’re not. Will you marry me?”
Then the girl would…..
Well I’ll leave it to you guys to come up with your own version of the ending to this story and post it in the comments ok?
