The marriage proposal of Timothy Tiah (right) to his girlfriend Audrey Ooi Feng Ling is quickly becoming a big YouTube hit.

After watching an emotional video of Malaysian Timothy Tiah propose to his girlfriend, “American Idol” host Ryan Seacrest hailed it as a heartwarming coda to 2011. Singer Christina Perri confessed that it made her cry.

Celebrity endorsements have helped the creatively crafted clip rack up nearly 4 million views online within a week.

The video has turned Tiah and his now-fiancee into unexpected role models for numerous young romantics worldwide. (Click here to see the video — Note: Some profanity in Timothy’s proposal.)

The 27-year-old Internet entrepreneur told The Associated Press this week that it was a surreal twist for him because he has long been allergic to the idea of marriage.

The video shows Tiah surprising his girlfriend at an Italian restaurant in Kuala Lumpur.

Computerized holiday light displays have become the hot new thing, but have mostly been limited to Christmas.

Now a home in Los Angeles has taken it to the next level with a Halloween display synchronized to LMFAO’s “Party Rock Anthem.”

The house features several Jack-O-lantern displays that appear to be singing along to the music.

The video is nearing 700,000 views on YouTube.
