it will be something i can look back on in future! (not to forget to thank my htb for his hardwork :))
Jan 16 flew by with me wanting to settle all the important things of planning a wedding, such as settling the budget, booking of venue for solemization, guest list (draft), dinner venue, bridal shops for actual day and pre wedding shoots. I must say it's quite an achievement to settle all these in one month, by God's grace. It was abit stressful researching till late into the night, but i wanted to do it asap, as i was going to start my 2nd permanent job in Feb 16, and did not want to cope with so many things at one time. Hehe although i think i irritated Daniel alot chasing him to do things lol.
Thank God for His wisdom and strength, many of the important things was done in a month! :)
The months followed from Feb 16 to Apr 16 was filled with adjusting to my work when my colleague quit, learning the ropes, and also going for marriage classes.
It is awesome that the Ministry of Social and Family Development provides a free one time 12 hours marriage class - spread over two Saturdays. In the 2-day class, we learnt so much, about communication, the power of listening, and about one another. We realised that we have to work more on our communication and this helped us to compromise on many things, which is so vital! The additional incentive is the delicious lunch provided which consist of different types of western food and drinks which we can choose from. (our favourite time of the day:P)

After which, we went to our CHC Wedding Preparation class, which taught us biblical values of a marriage:) The CHC class was spread over four weeks, on Wednesday. One of the hardest things is to go for the class from 8-1030pm, after a whole day of exhausting work. Many a times, we felt so physically tired during the lesson, and by the time we reached home, we were soooo burnt out for the next day. However, it is the wonderful pastors who made the class so entertaining and fun that kept us going. They are really passionate, and shared with us honestly about their own marriage experiences.
It prepared me mentally for life after marriage, not as Cinderella princess-y happily ever after as i envisioned. A lot of hardwork is required to keep the initial love burning, and quarrels and fights will happen. Especially when we live together and see each other's worse habits. We just got to work as a team, and try to make it work. *shudders at thought* :P
May 16 - Auditor came, and left! Busy with work, but looking forward to June holidays, where the school will be much quieter, and less busy i hope! :) Did i mentioned i got a new sweet colleague working side by side with me? Thank God for my manager and her, it makes me look forward to work even though at times, work is soooo freaking busy with only the three of us in a team! ><
We had our food tasting with both our parents and some friends on 7 May, which is a first too! As my parent-in-laws were slightly late, we did not manage to capture them in the photos! ><
Dan and i also went to try the wedding gowns/suits on 14May16, and it was SOOOooO memorable and fun!:)..
Will be going for photoshoot next week! All prepared, hopefully the nails can last till then! This will be followed by mission trip, and a trip to penang to settle some stuffs.
I am experiencing so many firsts this year!! :) Looking forward to more! *WINKS*=D Thank God for all the strength, joy and grace in my career and wedding preparations so far! :)
4 months left to the big day!! Trying not to overthink and depend on Him for sanity! :) Not to forget to spend as much time as possible with my family since i will be moving out very soon..='(!!! Will miss my mama papa and my irriating sister + brothers!! Hehe.
Adios for now!!
