Jan.15,2013Today is my first day in Sunshine Coast, Queensland. It is a start of a new journey… I am grateful with the opportunities that is trusted by God.
I see this move as a preparation for our big day and the rest of our life… I am preparing an extended honeymoon here haha.
As promised, I will try to submit photos of my days while we are distance to each other.
Day 1 after you went to Sunshine Coast and I’m back to my routine here in Melbourne. Feeling tired now after sitting the whole day in front of the computer and yes, feeling so sleepy :l however still thankful that I could start this morning quite slow because I went to Bee’s dad funeral. So far I’ve been to 2 funerals then, one Bule and one Chinese-Buddhist. “Interesting” juga ya.. How are you going on your first day in Sunny Coast? Me missing you badly but I promise that I’ll stay strong :) xx
Nov.19,2012Ookies, so we haven’t written anything in the last month. I guess it’s enough to show that we’ve been bogged down with wedding preparation.
Anyway, it’s H-166 and I’m so excited. I don’t want the days to go too quickly though. There are so many things to sort and decide in the next 165 days. Where to live in Sunny Coast, when to move to Sunny Coast,where to go for honeymoon, final list of who to invite, where will the family stay, where to bring them, where to buy flowers, cake tastings, invitation design, dance classes, songs selection, engagement photo shoot, reception opening video, and ultimately my visa. So many things to do but yes I’m grateful that I do it with you and very grateful that we can do it with friends who support us greatly <3
Filed Under : First Time For Everything by phodi Sep.29,2012 Sep.23,2012So today I’m being reminded again on the notion of singleness. The notion that we should be a whole single person, so we can fill each other in a relationship without being drained by each other.
Today you’re going to Indonesia after your short trip to Sunny Coast. With my dear housemate having 6 weeks holiday as well (and that she’s going to Bathurst in a month time), I have million reasons to be sad and depressed.
So yes, today after church I couldn’t spend time with you, like we always do. I felt like I was thrown back in time when I was single and enjoying my ‘me time’. Something that I can’t imagine enjoying now. Not that I don’t need a ‘me time’..but I love it when I can call you when I feel like to, or even to text you and know that you’re there, not somewhere where you’re inaccessible.
Anyway, I’m excited for your Sunny Coast opportunity. I’m not sure what will happen to me if you move up north. Not sure about what I can do to make my life meaningful and interesting up there. Yet one thing I’m sure of, if it’s God’s will, God will make a way. I’ve experienced too many “lucky” things happened in my life, that I know now I can’t run away from my God and his plan.
And as you said, your trip to Indonesia will hopefully be a “2 minggu untuk selamanya”. Not to selamanya pisah sama aku, but to be selamanya kita together. I love you Phodi, and I’m excited for us.
My note when I declared my feeling to Jess…

Jess, selama gue hidup 27 thn, byk Hal yg gue ga tau dgn pasti, tapi Ada 1 Hal yg gue tau pasti Dan gue sadar gue tau Hal ini…
I know that you re the best, and I can be my best when I’m with you and I know that I want to walk my best years ahead of me with you.
I’ve been praying about this… I love you, I want to be with you…
I hope that you can pray about this.

It was an amazing days 01 December 2010
It’s been a year and almost 2 months Jessica and I have been together. The last 2 days were the hardest part for me personally. Suddenly, Jessica mentioned that she couldn’t respect me anymore and she’s sick of me… I was totally surprise about it. I didn’t know that my actions and what I said her hurt. I didn’t know where I went wrong. I reacted in-appropriately.
Today is the 3rd day, I sit down and think over it. Where did I go wrong? I think that’s the problem… I stop pursuing her… I entered my comfort zone in this relationship… I am taking the responsibilities to lead this relationship… I physically being with her but my mind is in my work or my personal life matters. I become impolite and take this relationship for granted.
What happened in the last 2 days taught me about love once again… that love is patient, not easily angry, kind, not proud, not demands its own way… love always hope, always persevere, always endures, and never give up.
I will never give up on us, Jess… no matter how hard it is… I will always fight… and I want you to fight with me… together…
