Off The Market

Bonjour!

Lets just try to ignore the fact that I have abandoned this dusty blog for far too long so I can skip the apologies and just get straight to the updates.

To start it off, one of the major differences that has happened since my last post was probably my relationship status. I am officially engaged and sometimes it still feels so surreal that I introduce the S/O as my Fiancé instead of my boyfriend. Never did I imagine I'd actually ever use the word "I" and "engaged" in the same sentence. But I guess it was just the right time to move forward and settle down. So now it's an estimate of less than 5 months til the wedding and I've been up to my neck with wedding preparations and it feels like even though I've been starting with the prep since November 2017, but there are still tons of things to do as the day comes closer. I have to say, I have been blessed with a Fiancé who has a lot of patience in dealing with my inner Bridezilla and a family who are more than helpful. Praying and hoping that everything will go well until the end of the countdown. Amin.

Another major change is that I finally ended my law school journey. Yes, people I am officially a Law Degree holder and after 4 and a half years, I finally crossed my finish line! So I spent the last month packing up my stuff in Shah Alam, loaded it all in my car and shipped everything back home. My car arrived in KK a week ago and I still have some unpacking to do. My unpacking process is taking longer than expected since my room needs to be cleared out for some minor renovations that dad wants to do before furnishing it for the wedding. So now I've been sending in my resume here and there, and what's left to do is wait for a response.

Moving on from major news, another thing that you can say I've been up to is some minor traveling. I say minor because it's more of a business travel than it is a leisure travel. I went to Jakarta & Bogor, Indonesia last March with my mom, the Fiancé, the future mom in law, future sis in law, and a family friend of the Fiancé. The reason for the trip was of course, wedding preparations. The future mom in law is Indonesian, originating from Bogor. Therefore, the upcoming wedding involves a reception back in their hometown. Aside from that, for the reception for the Groom's side in KK, they decided that the theme was going to be full on traditional so the trip was also so we could shop for a traditional Sundanese wedding attire. I'm going back to Jakarta sometime in the middle of May for a final fitting session and to pick up the dress. So that's another thing to anticipate. But I'm not gonna lie, this upcoming trip is gonna be difficult because it's during Ramadhan and traveling while fasting isn't something I'm familiar with. So lets hope for the best.

And that's pretty much it. I'll try to update more soon.
