IT WAS OFFICIAL!


The royal wedding may passed already, but I am still suffering from the fever even up to this really second. 
It's been a while since Britain had the empire on which the sun never set. This time, the empire strikes back, putting on a show of pomp and pageantry unrivalled in the world! Yeah, many people dubbed the event as the wedding of the century. It was true somehow. Two billions watchers across the globe, people!

For me personally, I did not want to left behind. I want to be part of the history watching Prince William and Kate Middleton finally tied their knot. Moreover, the next big event might happen in another 30 years more (or even won't happen again! The time has come near guys. haha. *scared myself*) 
Since the wedding was announced, I had planned to watch it on the first place. It was like a dream comes true when suddenly I got an invitation from the Prince himself. aww :( overjoyed and touched at the same time! and I am going to share my experience of a lifetime attending the wedding.. 

What makes this wedding so special to me then?
I have been a fan of royal family and managed to keep update about their news and gossip. 
But this time, It was somewhat like a fairytale wedding. A royal blood married with a commoner isn't scene that you see daily or say, yearly, rite? 
I am pretty sure Kate Middleton might wondered to be a princess when she was just a girl, never thought that I turned out real now. Happy for her!

The royal wedding, basically, never meant to be ordinary: the guests, ambience & euphoria and particularly the wedding gown, have to be something people will remember. 
They have managed those so well. I love the gown. I also like the fact that she did not disclose the design until the moment she stepped down into the aisle. 
However, I asked my friends about the gown and they all said "It was too simplistic and did not reflect any royal princess wedding gown"
But let me tell you, all high profile designers (namely: Dior and Chanel) agreed with me.haha! 
*I am now a certified fashionista* Modest but at the same time so elegant, so English and perfectly fits her. 
and I am so sure this gown will be the trend for upcoming years.



I was sitting next to David and Victoria Beckham. David wore Ralph Lauren suits from top to toe, while Victoria managed to wear her own label VB in form of maternity rope. I should say that Victoria did look more like coming to a funeral rather than a wedding as she appears in full dark navy. but her Christian Louboutin shoes definetely caught my attention. Check this out



Cheers,

Hello there! I cant believe it has been actually more than 2 weeks since I wrote my last post. Time does really fly huh? Anyway, thanks for those who couldn't really put their nerves down just to wait my new post. I am really thrilled to write this down in the middle of assignment hurdle. These past few weeks just gave me a lot of stress. I got 2 mid exams and 1 presentation in a group of 3 (in which turned out one of my group member didn't showed up). Thanks God everything happened just fine and now I can relax, sit down and share my thoughts for u. He is good indeed =) ha..ha..ha..(evil laugh) loh?

This post will be about .. my spiritual life
SHOCKED? You better be! It sounds so random and actually my first time writing and tell the world openly about this.

Never once I plan about writing spiritual things in this blog. but well this topic just popped out from my mind right away. This is interesting though, considering many of you don't really know about this. 

1. What brought me to Jesus? The obvious answer is my mom! She put my 11 year old self in a youth service and afterwards, I began developing my personal relationship with Him.

2. My spiritual life is filled up with UPs and (I got to admit) MANY MANY DOWNs (as u expected). there are those times when all I wanted to do is just to ran away from Him. He seems like far away when I needed the most. 

but let me tell you. He never been as close! 
Whenever I try to give up on Him, an inner voice of mine (which I believe is the Holy Spirit) tells me to stay still because the best is yet to come. 
and here I am know, still keeping my faith on Him, just because of His goodness. His promise is so real "to catch me even before I fall". 

Lately, I consider myself in the low level of spiritual life. Definitely needed a booster. I know I did things against His will, didn't pray much and skip reading the bible. I keep questioning if He keeps loving me for all those circumstances. But again, He showed me how He still cares for my life. He blessed me and my family in many ways , in which, never crossed in my thought before. For now, I can say that life's good. But guysss, please remind me to this post when I argue about my life in the future somehow! haha

I want to grow more as I know I am still a baby (in context of spiritual life), but a teenager (in actual life). How imbalance is that ha???

One more thing, I secretly wish this in my prayer:

1. That 이 승기 will eventually believe in Him, so that we can strengthen each other and growing together as brothers in Christ (haha! this is my cell group's anthem)..
2. That "someone" (u guys know who) is my perfect match I have been longing for! In bahasa, I keep it as simple as "kalau jodo dekatkanlah, kalau tidak, jodokanlah Ya Tuhan". (seriously!)


just yesterday I feel so blessed with this song. I hope you guys like it as well. I think it has the best wording ever, especially the first paragraph. 

"DI HATI-MU TERUKIR NAMAKU

DI MATA-MU TERLUKIS WAJAHKU

BUKAN KAR’NA KUAT GAGAHKU

NAMUN HANYA KAR’NA KEMURAHAN-MU"



GOD BLESS YOU ALL~
