hey jess
FH suggested mission trip cos we go on mission trips quite regularly, but separately. my mom is kinda like a 'mobile' missionary, not officially lah, but she's be shuttling to and fro thailand since the 1980s, and i've been going to thailand quite regularly since i was four. dad also comes along lah, but most of the time my mom goes alone since she's the more experienced one and dad has to stay in SG to work. there was a period of time i didn't go - when i was in secondary school though (2001 to 2004)- but i;ve been going there twice a year since 2005. FH goes for mission trips at least once a year. but this year and next year we have to give all the trips a miss, since we're saving for the wedding, so he suggested we go on a mission trip lor. hehe.
good idea about praying for the local people. shall remember to do that when i go for honeymoon.
nothing to do right now and the forum so quiet so i just ramble on a bit...
we've decided to go to japan, because of my fascination with the place. been wanting to go since i was 11 but parents couldn't afford it. so, since FH can afford it, i make him bring me. ahahaha!
actually, techinically speaking, whatever i will be contributing to the wedding would go into the honeymoon, because i will only be working for less than a year before i get married. of course i can't cover the whole cost, but most probably half of it. the rest of the wedding will be borne by FH, who is very calm about the whole affair, saying we'll get our money back in the form of angpaos. even if we make a loss also 20% to 30%, and i quote: 'that's not even ten thousand'. i'm very kancheong about the whole thing, planning everything so that i will be able to save as much as possible, even if it's only $10. he says it's okay to spend the $10 but i said save better. but i'm very nice to him already, i always return him money and don't let him pay for my food. if he pay for the food i will pay for the drinks and buy him chocs or something. feel guilty lah, when he spend on me.
sorry ah, i'm very long-winded. this thread is really soooo quiet, just thought a long post would be appropriate
oh and wyy? congrats on being married for a year!!!
