Hi all. As you all know I’ve been away to Jakarta for the past few days. It has been really hectic, especially waiting in the airport. -_-” Anyway, won’t really talk much as I will be letting my pictures do the talking Anyway, this is what basically we do on day 1. Arrived in Jakarta, welcomed by Deluxe, Ru and Alice (who also just flew in few hours before us), then head to the hotel and jalan-jalan a while around the shopping complex. After that, head back to the hotel, while Deluxe went and pick up Lila whom we met later and had dinner at Apin.

Day 2 we went to try mom’s gown to see if she could fit into it. Apparently it was a perfect fit so no alteration was required so we saved a lot of time. ^_^ Anyway, after that Deluxe dropped us all at Golden Truly and let them have a taste of Indonesian food. Apparently dad wasn’t used to the taste.. Hahaha.. But it’s all good We walked around there and shopped for a while then brought mom to get her a reflexology.

Day 3, I will blog a lot about this as this was really an experience of a life time. Got up pretty early and went to get make up done for both our mom’s while Dad and I also tagged along to see what is there to see. We went to the same place where Deluxe’s friend Margaret who also had her make up done. After that, we got into our attire and head to Angke. Over here, we were brief shortly on how the ceremony will go about, and how we should walk and do whatever necessary things need to be done. Example like cake cutting, or how to feed the parents, and even pour out the champagne. Yeap, they used real champagne, not those sparkling juice Hehehe.. But it was all good. Anyway, then we were asked to go to the waiting room and rest for a while before we were asked to go down. After 30 mins of waiting, it was then the moment of truth.

There we were coming down from the waiting room to the main hall which was packed with over 400 people. So what happened was that we were at the back entrance and began to walked on the red carpet as our name were being called out. As we walked down, and get to the stage the Pastor came up and said a prayer of blessing and performed the engagement ceremony. After that, we were asked to go down for the cake cutting ceremony, whereby after cutting the cake we were asked to feed to both our parents. Beginning with Deluxe’s parents followed by my parents. It was indeed a great experience, and then we were asked to pour the champagne. Then head back to the stage and have a toast. After that, what happened next was that everyone started to line up and began to shake our hands to congratulate. So for the next 1 and half hours I think we were up on the stage shaking our hands and smiling.

So you can imagine the amount of fun we had Then we had photo taking session. After the whole thing was over, all of us went down and finally makan. X_X” Boy was I hungry.. Hahaha.. But it was all good. After that, we first went back to Deluxe’s place to rest a while before heading back to the hotel. After I had a shower, I knock off and couldn’t get up till about 9 whereby mom and dad has been trying to get me up but failed. Hua hua hua. As for Deluxe she was still kuat as ever.. Hahaha.. Yeah, that’s basically about it for this first 3 days in Jakarta. Will report more later. Enjoy the pictures
