Finally decided to start a Renovation & Wedding blog. Nope, I did not just get engaged nor did I just buy a property. Actually, my Fiance bought an apartment in April and I got engaged in June.
The thing is, it just occurred to me to do up a blog about it. Hee Hee! Yup, gonna be hardworking and try to jot down my thoughts and such although I think that knowing how lazy I really am, it would probably just be a photo blog with lots of pictures.
Hmm, I think I really need to update readers about what has happened till now.
So here goes! Let's start at the very beginning. How did I meet my fiance, RH?
Well, it began when I went back to Surabaya last year for Chinese New Year! Surabaya is the second largest city besides Jakarta if you don't know (Should read up on more grography, people). Oh ya, I did mention I was Indonesian, right?
Anyways, my family sometimes goes back to Indonesia to celebrate CNY because my grandfather (Dad's side) is just this really Traditional guy that has to have everyone together for CNY. My family, being brought up in a traditional way (thanks to my grandfather, dad's side of course) is very obedient to the patriach of the family which happens to be (yeah you are right), my grandfather (dad's side, obviously).
It is on the first day of CNY that my older sister SB and I were invited to lunch by an old friend and her husband. She says that she wanted to have lunch with us and a friend. We saw right through it. It could only be a matchmaking session which is quite common in Indonesian Chinese Community. I naturally assumed that the intended was for SB cos she is older than me by 4 years and my parents are too anxious to get her a BF.
Well, it so happens that the guy was being introduced to both of us.....he gets to pick who he likes! (Very unfair! Why don't I get to choose?) So, to cut the story short, that was how I got to know my fiance, RH. Turns out RH works in Singapore even though he is Indonesian, what are the odds of that happening. *feigned shock expression*
So, of course we continued our courtship in Singapore and finally got engaged in June this year.
