:: Tying the knot ::

It's going to be the day I gonna swtich my status from Miss to Mrs. The day I'll be Mrs.Chia. OMG =)
Never had imagine all to be happening, at least not that soon. Still remembered how bad things turned out to be in Sept when we were planning for our ROM for Dec, countless no. of heated arguments, I was totally put off by the whole incident. We were both stubborn as a ox, wanted different things, shared different perspection of life, what can we achieve then? I believed - NONE. I had never experienced disappointment that many times but it may be due to such, I came to realise how important it is to compromise, give & take, understanding my partner. A relationship is never about I,myself and me, let alone marriage. After those disappointments I gotten, I've decided to drop the topic, never to bring it up or support it again!

"Shall we ROM in Feb'06?" stunned me for minutes not knowing how/what to react/reply. No doubt I'm glad that he popped out the question, but the big ? in me would be "Will it backfired again? Are you damn serious this time? Don't play around with this topic, it's not funny." I kept quiet.

I'm not sure this time, because he'll be sailing off to Iraq in Feb for a period of 4 months. Why would he want to ROM at this period of time? To make sure I'm tied down before he sails off? He's worried that things might go wrong during this period he's away? But I asked myself - "Why should I even doubt him?" Most importantly is FAITH, TRUST, COMMITMENT, RESPONSIBILTY. Are all these factors in us? I accepted, because I know I have all these in him and vice versa =)

Would it be double happiness? We confirmed our flat unit!! =) Wow, it's our 50+ units we viewed! I preferred the unit at Sembawang rather than this Yishun unit, but bf mentioned to me that he hopes he can get Yishun unit to be near to his parents, because he feels he has not done anything really nice to please his mum, that's the only thing he can do. Well, I must say it touched me. As long as it's our own home, I'm ok with such arrangements =) And my darling said we can do abit more renovation than what we originally discussed (a minimal renovation). Triple happiness!!

It's not easy to find someone that you feel you can be with, laid back with the rest of your life. I found him, and I'll cherish him. Now it's 6 days away from my solemnization, most of the preparation are done, only have to worry for the actual day. We wanted to lay low for this event but after discussion, we feel Customary dinner will only be for family & relatives in 2 year's time thus decided to hold it either by the pool or at Chevrons function room. Kinda regretted not having my solemnization in the hotel because the price we paid for is almost equivalent to hotels' rate! Well, it's for our close friends & buddies so we decided it's all worthwhile.

Currently busy for last preparation for the day. Collected my lilac ROM dress (got it from Empire), getting compatible top for my hubby-to-be, liaise with Shann about my custom-made ring pillow, getting a good photographer to capture those magical moments! and lots more.... Call me fussy/perfertionist, I like to do things on my own in case people fails my expectations =p

Can't wait to walk into the next chapter of life esp with my Jimmy Chia. These few months had been great, fulfilling, blissful! Thank You Mr Chia.

Never regretted my decision but will be missing you badly.
