Current Updates
Well, we're having some choices about the venue for the engagement party besides my parents home. Thinking if do outside also not too bad can be less of hassle in terms of decorations, catering and cleaning up after party. Plus can get indoor places with air con because I know how warm it gets in KK and sometimes heavy rain with strong winds at night. So unpredictable. Better play it safe.
Hyatt Regency Kinabalu Poolside with long tables
We trying to get Hyatt Regency Kinabalu Hotel. They are my first choice because they have been supporting so much especially during the time I organized the pageant few years back. It's not going to be a big fat one. The best part is I don't have that many friends so my guest list is so small but my family is huge!!! So majority of the guests are my families and most of my cousins already married with kids and the family is still growing :)
I am also currently looking at cupcakes. I want cupcakes. I want all the sweet tooth lovey dovey stuff. Pretty flowers. I found this flower wrist from one of those florist website. It's so beautiful! Thought of getting this for my engagement party :)
love the colors!
It's a bit difficult for me to organized things in KK when I am in KL, so I am depending a lot on my sister to help me sort some things out. Well at least we already found our wine supplier! Hahahaha... alcohol first huh? Well wine is actually good for you! :P
Until then. Happy Labour's Day!
Love,
A Very Happy Bride to Be :)

Proposal and Engagement
The Proposal:
It was done on the 24th April 2012 during our short trip to Koh Samui, Thailand. He proposed to me the traditional way, super sweet... On his knees and pop the question with the ring in his hands. My reaction; shocked, speechless and happy... and of course I said yes!!! I knew this would happen because we have been talking about it for some time. My eyes was all watery but he did not notice and I try to hide it. But I was mostly smiling and laughing all the way and so was he. We are just so comfortable with each other. It just feels so right!
The Perfect Engagement Ring:
I have always, always wanted a Sapphire. It's my birthstone (September) and I just love the royal blue colour. So James bought a Sapphire ring 18k Gold surrounded by 6 tablet cut diamonds. It's beautiful! It was perfect!
Telling Our Parents:
I told my parents on the 27th April 2012 and he told his parents on the 28th April 2012 (due to time zone difference). Both parties are truly excited about the good news! My mom already plan to repaint the house before the engagement :)
Next step:
Basically, it will be the engagement. Why have one party instead of two, right? So that's why we're planning to have two engagement party. The first one will be about 3 months from now which will be held in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. Then the second one will be in December which will be in Bristol, UK.
Currently nothing is confirmed yet. We are still planning everything step by step. I'm really nervous and excited. A bit worried also. I guess it's normal to feel a bit disorientated at the early stage of planning.
If you have any suggestion and recommendations for caterers, decorators, photographers, videographer or even bakers for cakes stuff... please please please, do introduce them to me. Preferable them to be based in Sabah, unless they don't mind the travel. Thanks!
That's all for today.
Loads of love from the bride to be :P
