I’m engaged!
Friday, September 21st, 2007
Back from our hol over a week ago now and yes, we’ve got engaged in Bali on our 4th anniversary, Mike got on one knee while we were having our romantic dinner, I did wonder why he was ordering two bottle of bubbly but still I have not suspected anything so it was a total surprise when I open my eyes and see a diamond ring right in front of my face! (photo attached here’s taken shortly after our engagement)
Aside from the excitement of becoming Ch’ng2b, we had a lovely time in Bali, people are just genuinely friendly, weather is nice not too warm or humid (September is the best time to visit), it is far better than Thailand and Malaysia in my opinion and we are definitely going back. I’m loving the millionaire life style aswell, we are literally spending millions (local currency of course!)
While we were in Ubud we did fair bit of sightseeing, we visited many temples, art gallery, seen a Balinese dance performance and even went to see the volcano (but that was a disappointment)
Shamefully, we hardly set foot outside our hotel when we stayed in Jimbaran, we only managed to walk 5 minutes along the beach to a BBQ seafood stall for dinner one evening which I must say, was the best meal I had and it was the cheapest! (I wanted to go back there on our final evening in Bali but Mike said he’s sick of lobsters) rest of the time was spent lazing around by the sea or swimming pool sipping cocktails. The sunset was amazing and we were there watching it everyday without fail.
Unfortunately, I did not do yoga out there as planned as I was too busy pampering myself, I had a total of 210 minutes of massage, and a facial, manicure, pedicure and reflexology. Mike did make the most of the hotel gym but judging by the size of his belly he has put on a little bit too much weight :p (just want to take this opportunity to remind him that he has 3 months to get in shape for Thailand!!!!)
As soon as I have a moment I will upload other holiday pics, at the moment I’m occupied with wedding planning and looking for the most important, above anything else and probably the most expensive purchase of all - wedding dress! And I will need 3 of them! For 3 different receptions we have planned to have (Sadly the beloved Lela Rose silk chiffon dress doesn’t fit, why can’t I be 5"10 tall??) Like I keep saying.. while Mike is busy looking at finance and budgeting, I’m tearing my hair out trying to find the prefect dress. Stressful business isn’t it??
