Act of love, publicity or stupidity?


Billboard proposal: Ad man David Tan came up with a unique marriage proposal. He spent RM40,000 on a billboard and RM14,000 on a diamond ring to pop the question to his girlfriend Kelly Tan on Valentine’s Day. – KAMARUL ARIFFIN / The Star

At first glance, it's so sweet of him...But then with that amount of money, I could have done a LOT of things...Well, LOVE can make a man do many crazy little things...

Frankly speaking, what the man did can really melt the gal heart. There are ample of ways we can make people happy. I believe there is too much publicity in this kind of proposal. I believe both of them are really rich people who can afford such things. Everyone can do the same, what you need is just 50k. Nothing special. It is a matter of whether you willing to spend the money or not. If i have 1million, i do not mind doing something crazier like having a TV commercial showing every 30 minutes during the peak hours to impress the gal i like. Who don't like publicity, tell me? But make sure it is not those like EDC.Anyway, LOVE cost money too..haha

but i wonder if he didn't do something grand, will his gf decline his proposal then? hehe..

1. i always wonder how much more happiness can this couple spread should this extra cash goes to charity homes??

2. i wonder what if the gf decline despite the much effort put in???
will it then be a greater publicity??

3. i wonder now that they had appeared on one of the most read national newspapers, will this rich couple enjoy the privacy of their love life?? or people will be curious to know what will happen 5 years / 10 years / 15 years / 20 years down the road?
