“Among many things, you have taught me patience in the face of frustration, silence in the midst of chaos, and courage in the midst of uncertainty. You not only show me love, you show my family and my friends that same love.”

Chew said Mr Sng was carrying the ring around and trying to find the perfect time to propose to her.

“That moment happened to be at the beach, inhaling my favorite Hokkien, so needless to say I was really surprised,” she wrote. “I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect scenario.”

Chew was congratulated by more than 40 of her celebrity friends, including fellow 987FM DJ and The Shock Circuit co-host Joakim Gomez, Yes 933 DJ Hazelle Teo, Class 95 DJ Jean Danker, actresses Zoe Tay, Rebecca Lim and Chantalle Ng. as actors Desmond Tan, Jeremy Chan and Edwin Goh.

“Ahaha, okay, we have a comedian here,” his fiancée replied. ”@jermsng no exchanges or refunds btw.”
