Weight Issue??

I believe every woman wants to be slim and pretty during her wedding. She will exercise regularly and control her diet. And definitely, I also hope to be slim and pretty at my wedding.

I know that stress can somehow make me thinner despite I eat regularly and without exercise. I thought that by taking 3 classes in 9 weeks, I'll be stressed. But I am not. Well maybe it's just the 2nd week of the session. So, there's not so much work to do. But the thing is, I keep eating and eating and snacking... Ohhh noo..... And it's been quite some time that I don't weigh myself. I remember few years ago, I was quite obsessed with my weight that I weighted myself every 1 hour or so...but anyway, I am pretty sure my weight has now increased after my trip to Indo. My thought is...u know... after taking pre-wed pics last march, it's ok now to eat a lot and 'ngemil' because I still have 8 more months until the big day. Nowadays, my constant comfort food is avocado with pearls from sweetheart cafe or tapioca milk tea. plus.. cookies...popcorn chicken..cake...candies....

But i promise myself at least starting july, i'll control my diet, eat healthily, eat more veggies and fruits, start to exercise again, build that muscle :P

School

I just started my late spring class last week. I am taking 3 classes in 9 weeks. I wonder how much workloads I will handle during this time. But that's ok. I am sure mine is nothing compared with richard.

Richard is VERY busy with his full time job and part-time Master class in Stanford. He spends most of the time doing homework and projects and work. I was complaining last quarter because he rarely had time for me especially during weekends. but my mindset has changed. i know that despite his little time for me, I know it's the best for both us and for our future. I am willing to sacrifice our dating time to go out, watch movie, shopping and instead doing HW and study together. hahaa...I am very proud of him that he get accepted into one of the top universities in the US. So what i can do right now is supporting him instead of complaining. make sure that he'll do well in his classes. i don't want to add another burden for him. I know he is already stressed out with a lot of things so I will cheer him up and be a helper to him. :)

One day he said to me that he is also stressed out for not being able to accompany and see me that often compared as before. HAHA... funny funny... see.... i know that he still loves me...

While in indo....

It was almost a month ago when we returned back to Jakarta to prepare the wedding needs and most importantly, hold an engagement party for dear families.

The engagement took place on Saturday, March 21, 2009 at my place. The house was decorated by Evlin Decor.

I went to Sugi Salon for a trial make-up at 6am with my mom. It took about 2 hours to get done and taaa daaa.... here was my make-up.. what do u think?

This is me and my darling fiance

I am thankful that almost everything that needs to be taken care of is settled. We also took our pre-wed pictures with King Foto.
I've been having a vacation for too long since late Feb. and today, my school begins again.. Oh no!

Introduction

Hello all,

I know it's still 10 months away for our wedding day, but I want to start early by sharing our special moment of preparing wedding stuffs from finding a venue, a wedding gown, ideas and themes/colors on decoration, souvenirs, food, invitation cards and many more.

The wedding venue is set at Grand Hyatt, Jakarta. We are fortunate that we've booked the hotel to accommodate our wedding banquet early in September 08, otherwise it will be difficult to find one that suits our taste because many nice and popular hotels will then be booked by others. Many say that December is the most popular month for wedding. I guess it's true as I know 2 other couples who will be getting married in Dec as of today.

After my Beijing trip last December, I went to Jakarta for a week. I decided to use my limited and precious time to get an idea of wedding held in Jakarta. Luckily, my mom had a wedding invitation at Grand Hyatt on my arrival day that night. So we went to the wedding reception and I was amazed with the decoration. I also had a chance to taste the food so that I'll have a better idea of what food to be ordered for my wedding.

During that one week, I also went to some wedding gown boutiques and try on wedding dresses. Per my friend's recommendation, I finally settled on a classic wedding gown at The Silk. Down payment has been paid, but, Richard has not yet seen it, so I am not sure if that would be the final gown. I am still able to change the wedding gown if it happens that Richard does not like it.

King/Lifestyle Photo will be our photographer and videographer. In March, we will take pre-wedding pictures both indoor and outdoor. The location for outdoor pictures is not finalized yet. We are still confused of what kind of outdoor that we prefer.

That's it for now. I will go to Jakarta in 2 weeks and Richard in 3 weeks and we will be busy meeting with vendors, finalizing on stuffs, taking pre-wed pictures and so on.
