Heyho blog! I truly miss you. Ah, it’s been a long time and I’m feeling a little awkward now as I start writing again. That kind of awkwardness when fingers can’t do the job of typing because the brain is working in the pace of a snail in giving words. I just couldn’t figure out how to write naturally. Ah, bring my chatty-being back! I believe I was very chirpy back then. So, forgive if this post might be lacking its eloquence, just bear with me. Let’s hope it won’t take too long to get back on my feet and… let’s get started!

Now as Michael (my boyfriend) and I are approaching our D-day, perhaps the most frequent questions people throw at us as we bump into them is “how’s the wedding preparation?” Ok there we go. I could actually talk all night long to answer this particular topic. But my answer was usually simple as “Well, everything is pretty well on track” I think they were all on track and I worked quite fast. At least until my lovely detail-oriented papa came to me, fussed around and reminded me about this and that and all which I often ended up with “Oh yeah I miss that one, will do later” to almost all of his questions. haha. Thanks papa for reminding your scatter-brained daughter… I am. But worry not, I think we’ve got several things done at the moment. Big thanks to our dads, mums, and everybody for such kind-hearted and helping-hands.

About this wedding preparation thingy, Michael and I realise right from the beginning that wedding party in our culture involves many people from both sides. It’s our parents and family necessities over a mere ours as a couple. Hence, we don’t want to stress out or become very decisive on every single detail. Even though the control is in our hands, we try in every possible way to listen to what our parents have to say (only our parents though), collect their opinions, combine with ours then decide. I personally don’t feel the need to argue fiercely with them when there are clashes of interests. Thus I really really hope there won’t be such fierce arguments along the way. Amen to that.

We think what’s more important then the wedding is the marriage itself. In fact, it felt so surreal yesterday as we stepped into our very first day of pre-marriage class held by our church. For the first few seconds we only looked at each other and in a bit of teary-eyed (ok, not so teary-eyed, that’s just for a bit dramatic sound) told each other “Wow, here we are.. pre-marriage class? Did you imagine this before?” then we couldn’t help but burst into cracking laughter. The class will discuss everything we need to know about marriage life in all aspects – as a husband and wife, as parents to future children, as a part of big family, as a part of the society, and as God’s children. Marriage might not be as easy and always sweet as we both imagine, problems could surface at times. However, good things never come so easy either. It is a lifetime commitment as well as lifetime learning. I know it’s easier said than done, but a successful one requires more ‘us’ than ‘me’, a lot of ears, a lot of giving, understanding, respecting, compromising, and so the list goes. That’s what I’m said and what I believe. Am I scared, you may ask? Well… yes, a little bit. I’m a human being after all, despite the fact that we’ve been together for as long as I could remember. But we’re in love with each other, we have faith in Him. We’re pretty much ready. Dear God, bless our every path.

p.s. yay! I finally write a long one, even without any pictures!

p.s.s. Am I the only one who gets too excited looking for outfits for prewedding shoots?haha!
