DOES NICK DO YOUR HOUSEHOLD CHORES FOR YOU?
(Pauses to think) Not everything, but when he comes over, we will do it together. He will force me to do it with him (chuckles).
WHEN YOU GET MARRIED AND START LIVING TOGETHER, HAVE YOU DISCUSSED WHO IS IN CHARGE OF WHAT CHORES?
We’ve roughly discussed it before, and I think we can compromise. I’m someone who really likes to cook, but I hate washing. Nick doesn’t know how to cook, but knows how to clean, so we will split the roles as such. He has requested that I put my things back where they belong, and he can help to tidy. I have to at least not be too messy.
DO YOU THINK IT IS IMPORTANT FOR PEOPLE TO FIND OUT HOW MESSY THEIR PARTNERS ARE BEFORE GETTING MARRIED?
Yah, I think there’s a need to know lah. If not, they will get a shock.
In my case, when [Nick and I] got together, I was staying with my parents, and I was already so messy. He’s seen it before, so he didn’t get a shock from seeing my house now. Imagine you get married and live together and suddenly you find out about these things; I feel like it will become a problem.
SPEAKING OF MARRIAGE – HAVE YOU GUYS STARTED PLANNING FOR THE WEDDING?
Yes, we have. We’ve been looking for venues and we’ve started to look at wedding gowns, but we’re still deciding on the date.
The process has been quite tiring because for us, we have a lot of ideas, but we don’t know how to execute them. We have a planner lah, and they give us some suggestions, so it makes things a bit easier.
HAVE YOU GUYS HAD ANY DISAGREEMENTS DURING THIS PLANNING PROCESS?
Yes, sometimes we do [disagree]. For example, when it comes to the venue we want, the seats are limited. Though we have discussed the guest list, we have our own opinions about it.
Another thing is I only want to wear one wedding gown, because I want to enjoy the moment, but he feels like it’s once in a lifetime, so he wants to change many suits. It’s very weird if he keeps changing and I don’t change right? So we’re still talking about it.
HOW DO YOU RESOLVE SUCH DISAGREEMENTS THEN?
Hmm, we try to have a mix of some of his ideas and some of my ideas. In the case of the wedding dress… maybe we will only stick to one (laughs).
DOES THIS ALSO MEAN THAT NICK IS MORE VAIN THAN YOU?
I think so. Because okay, looking at how messy my room is, you can tell that I’m a very lazy person. I’m lazier lah, so I don’t think I am more vain than him (chuckles).
