Wedding preparation

As a wedding professionals for 7 years… I wasn’t aware that wedding preparation is really tough. I know that wedding is 2nd big day of our life… (the 1st is when we met Jesus for the 1st time)… However I didn’t realize it needs a lot of hard work, emotion, thoughts and energy to it. This period is also tested the relationship… not only the getting-to-be-married couple but also all relationships… with the parents, parents to parents, siblings etc…

Now I realize that 2 people who stand in the altar to be married… They’ve been through a lot… Maybe that’s why most people cry :)

A friend of mine, Heda, remain me to keep praying and focus on the relationship instead the preparation… For me to focus to you and our love… and for you to focus to me and our love as well… Somehow great things… 2 God-loving Christians to be married is a threat to the kingdom of darkness… So it is normal to have so many challenges.

I have decided again today to love you… to fight for you again… to chase you…. though with all limitations (distance, time, etc)

Let us fix our eyes to our relationship and each other… more than that… to God.

2 February 2013

This past weekend was so far the busiest weekend in 2013.

Morning: make up trial at Chadstone. I like the make up but hair do wasn’t flattering.. bingung!
Noon: Auntie’s Dumpling with Aldrick & Evans
Mid afternoon: Ocep, Bram & Wiwi’s bday at Point Cook
Late afternoon: hospital visit for Temmy & Mer
Evening: dinner for Aris’ farewell
Late evening: picking up jars

This weekend was a big wake up call for most people at church. What happened to Temmy shocked a lot of people and yes, they started to look at their diet. I’m really sad for Temmy… but we should believe that he will recover 100% and has no brain damage or else.

On the brighter end, my heart went boom boom boom when you sent me the picture of our wedding bands! How exciting!!!

Counting down!

In my company, we have 100 days plan for each project. Have we got one for ours?

I kinda hate Sunday without you. Being with no one on a Sunday afternoon somehow makes me feel sad but of course, I don’t want to feel sorry for myself. The risk is, I spoil myself too much when I’m alone. I went shopping for new exercise outfit *oops!* and a new rice cooker and 2 cakes! *oh no!!!* Anyway.. I do justice for my new exercise outfit as I went for an hour walk in the neighbourhood. Also, Bemo and Aldrick tried on their groomsmen outfit just now. Their vests were ridiculously! Such a waste of fabrics but thankfully the rest are fine. Finger crossed that the girls’ dresses will be just fine. I miss you lots!

Sunshine Coast Plaza

Tonight I am going to Sunshine Coast Plaza for late night shopping. It was good… It has a good range of shops, Myer, Kmart… It similar with Victoria Parade with more shops…

I bought a basketball today and will start playing in front of the house tomorrow.

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.

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

145 days to goooo

As of today, it’s 145 days to our big day, 8 days to your last day in Melbourne and 9 days to our Bali quickie.
Let’s make our days count!

166 days to go

Ookies, 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
