To ensure the smooth execution of this task, the father of three has made sure that all preparations are going well, including managing his busy schedule. Ruben admitted that he intentionally cleared his schedule to rest fully before the big day.
"It’s going smoothly. I just arrived a bit late because of work matters. Yes, I asked for some rest for the next two days so that on the 17th everything will be okay. By the time it’s the 17th, the nervousness is already double nervous right? So I want to make sure I get enough sleep on the 16th, because on the 17th we will already be here early in the morning," said Ruben Onsu when met in Ancol, North Jakarta, Wednesday (13/8/2025).
