What a Difference a Month Makes!

I’ve been away for another month. This blogging thing is starting to seem like a monthly report rather than a near daily update… oops.

But gees, what a difference a month makes! I guess the biggest news is…

I’m engaged!!!



He proposed at Sydney Domestic Airport, just outside baggage carousel 2… and I said yes!

So we’ve been spending the last few weeks basking in the glow of being newly engaged… only that’s been interrupted by random bouts of wedding planning. I’ve been advised to keep wedding planning out of the picture for at least a month (which I think is a fantastic idea)… but we all know what a paranoid worrywart I can be.

It’s a really big thing as well because so many family members will be coming down for the registration – his sister and my sister from Singapore, possibly his mum too, my dad from Brisbane and his brother’s family from Melbourne. Oh, and possibly a Pooey too! Oh  my! We’re both feeling really really touched that everyone is willing to fly down for what will essential be a low key quickie wedding at the registry office.

And no, that’s not all we’re having. There’s a doa selamat planned for when we’re in Singapore in September… and also… a celebration next year for our family and friends in Perth, seeing how not everyone will be able to make the doa selamat and how the registry marriage only allows a maximum of 22 guests.

I did say in my previous post that 2013 is going to be an exciting year right? 

And on a sort of related note… we’ve been really touched by how genuinely happy people are for us. We really feel so special having so many people offer their heartiest congrats on our engagement… how lucky are we to have such warm people around us?
