My Dream Wedding

So, I came across my shelf yesterday and found my William-Kate wedding memorabilia that reminds me about that glorious wedding last April. Everyone knows how I was so mesmerized by the concept of royal family eversince I watched that wedding. But not everyone knows how I also silently concepting my own dream wedding.

ATTENTION! I am still in a tender age of 19, no way going to be married soon. Neither I have a girlfriend at the moment. My focus now is to make money in order to make my wedding as close as my dream one.

I will make it in Q&A format to make it easier to digest!

1. According to you, what is the ideal age to get married?
I would say 25ish. Some of you would say, 25 is too young, but I personally don't mind to get married whenever we're ready. The sooner, the better - depends upon circumstances of course.


2. What makes up a perfect partner?
Hmmm, tricky one! I prefer a GIRL (to emphasize I am not a bloody gay as some of you might think! LOL) about the same age as mine, +- 1 years would be fine. No chance I am going to be interested in somebody 10-15 years my junior (I am not a pedophile), neither to someone aged 25++.
She would be:
- beautiful inside and out
- smart - I despise a bimbo
- how about wealthiness? Yeah, that will do obviously, but optional and negotiable, one more note: not a spoilt. Someone who can potentially support my career.

3. Where is your wedding going to take place?
Some exotic places, like Taj Mahal for instance. Of course I'm joking. Well, some small city in Europe would be my ultimate choice. Where exactly? Here.
I prefer a secluded and intimate wedding, surrounded by close families and friends.

4. How are you going to arrive with? 

Stupid question. I know I am no cinderella, no way I am going to arrive with a horse carriage. In my wildest imagination, I am going to arrive with a hot air baloon. How sweet could that be huh

5. What is your typical wedding costume?
To be honest, I am not really into fashion. Traditionally, a groom will just be wearing a set of suit. I prefer a black one tho. For my bride, well, a friend of mine would recommend cheong sam, sexy cheong sam. But come on, get real. I am so Kate Middleton inspired, I would persuade her to wear something like that gown. Simple, elegant, exquisite. PERFECT!


6. What will be the theme?
Outdoor winter wonderland. Its better not snowing tho.

7. Any particular request during the reception? 
Yeahhh, I want heaps shit loads of confetti and baloons. Rite after the priest say "You may kiss the bride", I want confetti to be blast from virtually everywhere. This will create dramatic backgrounds and merry the event.

8. Who will be the special guest? 
It would be great if the royal family could attend, although I doubt it with my whole heart. As a matter of fact, I want to invite Michael Buble to sing my wedding song. This is the song of my choice.

 
9. How about the honeymoon?

I consider myself, not a beach type of person. I do like beach, but definetely will choose sitting on a romantic cafe by the river, munching on macarons. Contrary to some belief that I am a huge fans of big cities, I choose small cities for my honeymoon.
<<<<<<<<<<<   Somewhere like this



10. Last Question. First night experience that you would like to have?
Ahahahahahha! This  question is not meant to be asked here as it is private, mate. Just like any other newly-wed....... Specific, please? Arghh! I wont answer this question *blushy* Or perhaps I would passed out after the big celebration hey!

Fingers crossed for everything !!!!!

Updates

Here's a story about me working in a company as an intern. How boring could that be huh? No! dont skip and scroll down. I promise it's gonna be good, particularly for those who crave for my updates.


Last semester, I was desperate to look out what opportunities out there that are available for me. I know I had not told you about this before. I looked so relaxed and don't bother for my future post-graduation, but actually I was so anxious inside. After heaps of prayer, gallons of tears (as if I could measure it up), hours and hours for job hunting, 10+ resume submissions, I finally secured an intern position. There was this HR lady, called me out of the blue and said "Joshua, I have secured an intern position for you. Congratulations." I was like really?? You just made my day ma'am, oh nope, my month, wait!! my YEAR !

Securing a job for me is so critical. The reason is because I want to make my parents proud of me. At least, their money is not wasted. I proved that I can do something after all those $$ that they spent on my education.

I have been interning here for 6 weeks. For those of you who has been indoctrinated to say that school is the best, I am here officially to say, YOU ARE WRONG. I have been enjoying myself, thisssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss much!

I believe the work environment is really critical. Everyone in my team is so supportive. I like the fact that my manager is such a gentleman. Although we have not engage in so many ways, but he actually is the kind of manager everyone could ever ask for. Then, not to mention my senior colleagues. One of them gave me a lunch treat, then another one invited me for an Aussie-day bbq which for me, is something special since I had never celebrated Australian day in Aussie way before.

What I love most, on the bottom line, is the consistency. I wake up at 7.30 each morning, hit my office at 8.50 and working through until 5pm. I don't have to think about what is up for tomorrow as I know, I will be just working. Life is kind of flat, but apparently that feels great after all those 18 years in school.
My department is in level 10, so I always take the elevator. Then, I rush into my cubicle which makes me feel so professional. I actually told the girl who sits next to me on my first day that I always want to have my own cubicle. Shit, it did look like a shallow dream I know, but I just want something different. I want to dress up in business attire rather than wearing T-shirts and attending lectures. Yikes!

Anyway, I wanted to say, working life is not as boring, There are plenty of opportunities out there that is actually closer to be grasp when you have actually worked. Of course, you will need to sacrifice your time having fun and stuff, but it is all worth it. What do you think guys?

Small Talks

There are times in our lives when we are seated next to a stranger, especially when we are travelling alone in a plane. The chance is we don't really talk to him or her. Occasionally, we throw an 'excuse me' when we want to go to the lavatory or just even a smile without trying to engage in a conversation with him or her.

I personally prefer to sit on an aisle seat to minimize contact with those strangers really. I do not give a crap to who they are, what they do and stuffs. I travel with plane quite often and usually I make myself busy with things. Once during a long haul flight, I did not even make effort to say hi.

So, the concept of small talk to a stranger made into my mind on recent trip back home. I had my eyes on this girl (obviously out of my league. she is older and seemed to have married)
while I was checking in for flight bound fo Jakarta. She was good looking and had a pearly white skin. She also wore a dress ( for those who do not know, I am a sucker for girls in dresses ) with a knitted cardigan. I wonder if she had ever studied abroad because her style was so typical Indonesian overseas (I mean, who would wear a knit cardigan in a tropical country, really) and was just imagining how if I actually sit next to her. Most of the time my wild imagination do not really came through though.

As expected, she did not sit next to me. But, I was seated next to her mother. Yea, that sounds pathetic but at least I can dig some information to see if my guess proven true. And as I also expected, I chickened out, did not know how to start the conversation. She seemed not interested to talk anyway so that I spent my time reading the newspaper.

Not until I really need to ask about the time to her, the conversation started to went by. We ended up talking the rest of the flight. I asked her if Jakarta was her final destination and she said no. She was just transitting before she needed to catch a connecting flight to HongKong. She asked me in return where I was going. I told her I am going back to Australia to study. What really surprised me was the fact that she actually guess I studied in Monash and said to me that all her children was all Australian graduates and had remained in Australia for a considerably long time before decided to make it back to Indonesia. As a matter of fact, my guess was true. Her daughter had ever lived abroad.

Overall, it was a nice conversation and give me one more open perspective toward strangers.
