Not only did I missed the first ever night time GrandPrix Formula 1 race in Singapore this weekend, I also missed another family event back in Sabah.

One of my cousin had his engagement ceremony this afternoon.

As I looked through the picture collection at my sister’s site, I noticed two predominant theme : batik and lilac!

Being fully attired in batik was expected since it’s their family business. And since lilac is one of my favorite colour in my mellow mood, I can only imagine that it must have been a beautiful affair.

Full report here : Congrats To Octivian & Elly!

In the meantime, my sister and her fiance just passed their first year of engagement and it sure did not feel so. My husband and I was engaged for 3 years before we got married. But to me, there was no obvious difference to our relationship - except that it made visiting each other much “easier”.

I know that some folks do not believe in getting engaged and in all honesty, I don’t really see much point to it either except in certain situations such as mine since we had a long distance relationship and there is the matter of family face to be considered.

So married folks out there, why did you get engaged and how long were you engaged before you tied the knots?

And to my cousin and his fiance, congratulations and we look forward to the big day!
