A dream comes true – 5th May 2012

Walking down the aisle in a long and beautiful gown is every girl’s dream. The same goes to me.

I’ve been dreaming this day since I was 12 years old if I remember it correctly.

Start doing the research since I was 18 years old.

I am the typical girl that dream for a beautiful wedding, handsome and tall husband that loves God and loves me and we will have a beautiful family and a happy marriage.

The only difference between the real day and my dream is that, I have the face for my husband now.

In my dream, the groom face is not clear because I do not know who it is yet. Hehehe….

Everything is so simple.

My reception table is simple, my décor for the church is simple, my gown is simple and my makeup and hairdo is simple and nice.

It was truly a magical day for us.

Sealed with a magical kiss and beautiful song that sang by my husband.

Everything is so perfect for us.

We are grateful for friends and family that are there to witness and be happy together for us.

We grateful for two professional photographers who are also our friends able to capture every moment meaningfully and filled with God’s glory and honour…

We are amazed how amazing God works in this beautiful day, we are thankful how much He has blessed us and how awesome is He that the whole time, we able to feel his presence with us.
It was truly magical…

** May our magical day bring glory to Him **

Silence and Stillness before Him

De-clutter my heart, O God, until I am quiet enough to hear you speak out of silence. Help me in these few moments to stop, to listen, to wait, to be still, to allow your presence to envelop me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

** May i learn to slow down and quiet down **

Life as a wife

I’ve been married for a month plus now and I enjoy being a wife. Though there are certain differences that both of us need to adjust but at the same time, we are also learning to leave together as a couple, do things together and spend more time at home.

As a wife, the first requirement that I gave myself is to keep the house as clean and tidy as I can, so that I can have a standard for my family. Other than making sure that my house always feels like a home, I learn to cook different kind of dishes. I’ve been trying to find other recipe to try, searching for cook book, watched some short video clip about cooking in youtube and coming out a list of recipe that I wanted to try.

Other than settle our meals, I need to wash, iron, clean and fold cloth and every meal I am thinking what to prepare for the next meal so that I can plan ahead. So far, I am enjoying the role as a new wife and prayerfully, this enjoyment will stick with me for a long time.

And some other island such as Kai Island
 

Day 4 - We changed to another hotel and went around the island for some sight seeing





A beautiful view for sunset


Day 5 - Another tour to James Bond Island and canoeing with going into the cave



The view there is so amazing... God is amazing...
And we end our days in Phuket with sunset and some beach walking


Meanwhile in KL, we have some rest, meeting up with some friends and eat food that we have been craving for.

** 5th May 2012 **

I can’t believe it….

One more day and I will be Mrs Jenny Wong. How do I feel? I feel……. Mixed emotion.

 I need a moment of sitting down alone at 1am now to feel all these and to drop this down.

 Danny Wong… A man that I dreamt to get married with since the first year we are together. I’ve been dreaming, praying and waiting for this day to come and seems like I have waited for a very long period. And when it is finally here, I have these mixed feeling… Oh man…. Mixed feeling but in a good way.

We are excited that we are going to spend the rest of our life together at the same time feeling the stress of being together and we have less privacy now. He will be my privacy and I am his when we are married. Life will no longer be the same but we know one thing for sure is that, God is always here for us. Though marriage is a difficult journey but with God, we believe we can make this journey very interesting and happy. I still can’t believe it that I am getting marry in 1 day time.

One of the secret to a happy life

Last Friday, we have our 3rd course of marriage preparation course. I think both Danny and I enjoy the course a lot because we learn a lot from the course and we heard some real life story.

The previous course, Ps Stella ended the course with sharing one of the secret in the bible with us. She encourages us to be content. Be content with what we have and be content with what we do not have. The urge of waiting certain things will come and it will also go. As long as we learn to be content with what we have and be content with what we do not have, we will be happy and grateful.

I meditated the word be content for a few days and I will learn to be content with what I have and what I do not have. As long as He is with me and Danny is with me, my heart shall learn to be content.

I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through him who gives me strength. [Philippians 4:12-13]

** COVETOUSNESS and CONTENTMENT are not issues about money… They are issues of the HEART! **

Counting down: 18 days

18 more days to go with only 2 more Sunday the third Sunday will be our 1st Sunday as husband and wife. Feeling very nervous at the same time very excited. Wanna put this feeling down in writing so that I will always remember this season of our life that we never feel before that we are very nervous as the date is coming nearer and nearer.

Things are started to fall into places. We have the first announcement in the Sunday bulletin, passport is done, make up trial is done, got my heels, honeymoon checked, have brought my gown to alter, décor is almost done, invitation card is almost done and we got our procession song. Only left a few more items in our checklist.

# Make up trial

In this 18 days, we will be busy for moving house, look into the painting of walls and furniture. Praying very hard that everything will be smoothly and everyone will cooperate with us.

** Feeling extremely nervous **

Easter Egg...

I know this is a bit late but i found that this is so cute. So nevertheless, i still wanna post this and wish everyone Happy Easter....

** Happy Easter **

Counting down: 40 days

In another 40 days, we shall enjoy these.... Can't wait for a romantic getaway and to have some really personal time together...

** 40 days **

My man...

Last night, I have the sweetest man with me. He helps with our décor…

I love his heart...

** The sexiest man **

How do you feel?

As I started to distribute our wedding invitation and I realize that many people ask me, “how do you feel?” I gave a very short and fast answer without thinking much, I said, “stress”. Some people will look at me and feel for me while some will give me the impression that, what for need to stress? Just enjoy… I find it a bit annoyed that people kept asking me that question but at the same time, I sit myself down and go into my emotions and ask myself, how do I feel as the date is nearer?

I think when Danny and I talked personally about the date is nearer, time is shorter, we feel very excited, happy, can’t wait and butterfly in the stomach because we went through a long way before this day is here. But when someone else asks me, I think I found it stressful because people around me are still giving suggestions and comments. Not that they are not good comments and suggestions but sometimes, I felt it is too much.

In this whole preparation, I realise that deep inside me, I just know that some friends when you ask them, they will help you with all their heart. Some will reject. Because I do not want to assume and I still asked nonetheless and at the end, it was what I expected. It is really hard for me to ask for favour because facing rejection is really not a very good feeling. With that, I rather do everything myself if I can than to ask for a favour.

Last night I have some time to spend at the Lo’s house while doing my DIY décor. Both Debra and Daniel wanted to help so much that they kept asking me, can they help. To not disappoint them, I taught them how to do it. They stood there, tried very hard and finally finished one and showed it to me and ask, “Jenny, very nice, right?” with full of confident. I said, yes… Very nice…

I was a bit reluctant to let them try in the beginning because I thought at the end of the day, I have to redo everything and that is even more time consuming but I was wrong. Both of them made it with all their heart and it is very nice. Because they are kids and their determine hearts are not as strong as adult, they help me to make 3 paper flower and they said, they are tired and they went off. But when they are doing it that time, I looked at them and thought; this is really nice that they try their very best to make the paper flower just to help us.

On my way home, I was reminded that God must be very pleased when we try our very best to do things for Him. At the end of the days, I think what matter most is our heart to Him.

** I get to see things that I don’t experience it every day **

The 5th Year...

It has been 5 amazing years. This year will be the last year we celebrate being ‘in a relationship’ anniversary. Next year onward, we will celebrate the anniversary of our marriage.

The date is nearer and our hearts are pounding rapidly… Feeling so excited and nervous and stress at the same time.

But we are glad that we are together and it has been 5 beautiful years. It’s really by God’s grace that we are where we are today. Couldn’t thank Him enough for what God has for us.

** God willing, we will grow old together **

Sometimes...

Sometimes out of no where, I wish that my best friend is with me... Sometimes, she will drives me crazy but most of the times, she help me to solve most of the things.

** I just miss her around **

Counting down: 56 days

I’ve been counting days since 2 weeks ago to make sure that I am doing
things progressively and making sure that I will be slimmer to my dream size.
As for today, we have another 56 days to go. Every day I deduct the days, I have all kinds of feeling. Excited, nervous, freaking out, happy, can’t wait…. But I want to thank God for his grace that things are progressing well. I got my gown but it’s too big… I didn’t react like I thought. I find myself more calm and peaceful knowing that eventually things will be alright nearer the time.

So, instead of freaking out, we try to find some solutions. With God at our side, both Danny and I know that everything will be alright because He is in control.

We also went for medical check up and doc said we are alright. Both of us are happy and we will have beautiful babies together…

With the grace of God, we just have to enjoy these 56 days more before we tie the knot.

** Fifty six days to go **

Sovereignty of God

Yesterday I watched this trailer movie title, ‘The Vow’ that based on a true story. In this movie, it’s about how a married couple keep their vow in front of God for each other even though the wife has lost her memory about her husband. The husband put extra effort to make the wife fall in love with him again.

As I wonder about the movie at the same time desperately wanted to watch, I am very amazed of God’s sovereignty. God can just take away our memory like that and when we do not have our memory, we are totally another person. With no past memories, the person has a new choice to choose who he/she wants to be, who his /her friend is and how he/she would like to live. But losing part of your memory does sound scary.

With pondering about that, I am again being reminded the sovereignty of God and how powerful and strong God is. We have a choice to choose things that we want, the path that we need to take, the one that we fall in love. There are something that we are not given a choice but to trust God’s sovereignty that He will give us the best and believe that He always love us.

Therefore, Jenny Liau, you must remember that the Lord said - For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. – Jeremiah 29:11
