last minute tasks

the idea came up just this week. on how my wedding guestbook would be. the fact is, aku yang tiada masa nak fikir pasal guest book bagai-bagai. and i almost forgot pun.

but remember my last post, pasal console table aku order dekat bangi. sebab dah order+bayar depo, and dah buat some rangka for decoration i shouldnt let it pass and totally ignore.

i have yet,

to collect the console table.

to print some photos for decoration. at least 30 of them needed.

to pickup guest book cover and make it as a book.

semua ini perlukan masa. and i really feel 24hours no longer enough.

today is my last day working. it was supposed to be yesterday. duhh..but workload doesnt permit it to happen.. i tried to do it very very well, so that nobody's going to get me on the phone pasal kerja. please...

aku memang tak pernah sempat pun nak berangan-angan pasal wedding sendiri. so kasi lah aku chance ye. aku nak berehat bersulam-sulam dengan angan-angan before my biggest day in life.

ceh! macam sempat.

Hari-hari akhir sebelum berkahwin.

Ahad: Siapkan doorgift. Ada meeting keluarga. I hope everything going to turn up well.

Isnin: Pickup baju sanding, pick up cover guest book. Kalau sempat nak siapkan buku guest book. Beli candy utk kids. HAHA.

Selasa: Bermandian di spa.

Rabu: Siapkan bilik pengantin and etc.

Khamis: Doorgift sampai and kenalah pack. gigih berusaha! chayoks..

Jumaat (pagi): Ambil hiasan hantaran. Kek hantaran and kek kahwin.

Jumaat (petang): im his, insyaAllah.

design cover yasin

Memilih design cover surah yasin,

She sent me 8 sample designs for cover, basically the layout is almost the same, only then the diff on wording

jawi, atau rumi. perkahwinan or pernikahan.

contoh, aku suka layout D, but lagi suka pada wording C, but border simplicity i prefer H.

tetapi MF suka F.

HAHA. camne?

Susah kalau dah dirasuk bridezilla mode.

lagi pasal vendor, akan diceritakan details kemudian!

till next post!

toughest months

these final months, will be the toughest among all.

i still remember, when i first started this blog.. that time, Diah pun belum kahwin lagi. hehe... dan serius, all those days banyak berlalu, tanpa aku betul-betul menitik beratkan soal wedding sendiri. tahun 2009 aku habiskan dengan mengsurvey shj, yelah ko nak book..nak book..igt orang nak layan ke?huhu..

separuh tahun 2010, dihabiskan dengan mem-booking, di mana semua vendor masih dirahsiakan..kecuali satu. kalau korang perasanlah kan... tapi sejak beberapa case dengan seorang vendor, i rather not to reveal any of mine. bila dah reveal siapa, nak cerita ketidakpuasan hati di blog sendiri pun dah rasa macam takde ruang...

it takes me 2 years to prepare for my wedding, tapi wedding biasa-biasa shj. bukan bermakna lama sebab grand :p

tetapi, sejak dua menjak ni, dah lain lah rasa...setiap saat dekat office fikir pasal wedding. rasa macam banyak benda tak sedia lagi. yelah, dengan vendor dah settle book, tapi bukan habis di situ je.. the final months ni lah nak follow up, macam-macam.

dah sampai tahap..tak larat la weyhhhh... tapi memang seronok, tak tipu! plan wedding sendiri, memang seronok. silalah plan wedding korang sdn bhd ye...hehe.

what i expect this coming months:-

1. baju nikah siap cantik, anggun, seperti yang digaris panduan kan..
2. prosuder pernikahan lelaki+perempuan selesai dengan senyuman..
3. baju sanding my site adalah seperti yang di request, penatlah makan hati tengok orang jahit tak macam kita request. huhu..
4. sketch pelamin mini dari vendor A, pelamin sanding dari vendor B
5. help out h2b mencari vendor pelamin dia...
6. kad kahwin - dari design sampai ke proses edaran..
7. bunga pahar, bunga telur, bunga-bungaan..
8. doorgift majlis????? aaaaaaa....stress kejap!
9. doorgift nikah .. yang ni hampir lega.
10. photographer + videographer = takde ape kot nak kacau dorang :p
11. prewedding photoshoot
12. bersiapkan rumah kami???grgrggrgrgr.....
13. hantaran- barang2 hantaran, and penggubah hantaran.
14. belum lagi masuk hias bilik pengantin whatsoever..
15. DUIT untuk kesemua yang di atas....
16. TURUNKAN BERAT BADANNNN....paling mencabar nehhhhh..

pasal item ke-12, tak sabar aku weyhhhh... nanti special entry untuk ini, insyaAllah. sekadar berkongsi.

ade yang aku tertinggal ke? tolong ingatkan. hehe

doakan kami kuat ye kawan-kawan. mwahhhhhhh!

rumah chomelku.

ahha....semalam, tak kerja, managed to settle few things,

first, meet up dengan akak tailor, and finalize everything. story pasal ni, nanti aku cerita in detail ;). so as of now, ill stick to her first, kalau horrible jugak..tumpang lalu, ya ampun...aku pergi cari designer terus... hoho. marah tak usah nak kira, untuk insan-insan yang sudi menemani aku menghadapi kesusahan pasal baju nikah ni, thank u so much!! u know who u are...

then terus shoot nilai, nak berbuka di sana, di mana? nanti sekejap lagi...

since dah sampai sana, tengok rumah kami alang-alang.jarak nilai to bangi dalam 15-20 minutes, oklah. taklah jauh sangat pun kan nanti nak pergi kerja. ;) jalan semua dah buka, we passed thru our house yang chomel itu, tapi tak singgah. sebab malas. hihihi....tunggu dah dapat kunci nanti siaplah!!!. :p

there are few reason why we bought this house, first near to his kampung halaman, iaitu seremban, so easy for us to go back selalu tengok ayah mertua. altho its a bit far from my family shah alam, tapi takpelah...sekarang hgway skve dah bukak... rase macam hari-hari nak balik shah alam...hehe. nak-nak bulan puasa ni kan, rindu masakan mak and wan...ohh sedapppp!

and of course price wise, when we bought the house harga rumah still affordable, mane mampu weyh aku nak beli rumah dekat puchong masing-masing dah cecah 400K - 500K, rumah teres ok! so being relevant, we bought rumah dekat nilai, with the price masih lagi mampu lah, 290K with the size of 24x75, big and spacious for us to build our family, insyaAllah. ini pun aku dah rasa mahal sangat dah..yelah, beli rumah come with commitment berpuluh-puluh tahun kan...

hari tu aku pergi tanya, rumah contoh sudah cecah 500-600k... erk, normal teres sahaja kawan-kawan. but biasala, properties memang grow fast. masa under construction harga lain, siap aje terus melambung naik...siapa kata rumah dekat nilai murah sangat-sangat? hurmm..aku tak setuju. murah pun, buat calculation jugak lah nak membayarnya. untuk aku lah, orang lain aku tak peduli. ever since sime darby took over nilai impian, i can see nilai sekarang dah bertambah maju. dah nak buat tesco ko! hakhak. walaupun masih ada banyak bangunan-bangunan torn kaler pink tu...hisshhhhh. tak suka..

and ada special rebate masa tu for early purchaser..takdelah sampai ratus ribu discountnye.. up to 10K. tapi tak dapat pun banyak tu, sebab beli tak cukup awal. hehehe....but alhamdulillah, kami betul-betul bersyukur, after jerih perih, bergaduh nak settlekan pembelian rumah ni, and now, when i see it, sudah tegak berdiri, i feel so relief. only people who close to me, tahu macam mana aku berusaha mendapatkan rumah ni. hohoho.

so kawan-kawan, take the opportunity kalau developer offer itu ini, you wont be getting it kalau beli rumah atas tangan orang lain, hanya developer sahaja yang tawarkan macam2, so nak jimat, cari developer. ;)

entrance, baru lagi rasanya naik.

and after that, we sempat singgah nilai, hikss sampai pukul 7.00pm masih lagi dekat nilai, beli a few more things for wedding. and did some survey for doorgift, ahaks, doorgift paling terabai setakat ni, sebab aku belum pernah kisah. haha. tak senonoh.

so, after that we headed to Thai Steamboat, dekat Giant nilai. kalau anda masih ingat entry ni, aku makan dekat That Steamboat Ampang, sekarang sudah dekatt... cawangan dorang yang ke-9 ;).
so b2b yang dah penat shopping dekat nilai, boleh singgah berbuka di That Steamboat, anda pasti takkan menyesal. hakhak.

mane nak cari kitchen cabinet murah ye kawan2?

catering

hoih..cepatnye masa berlalu.. sedar tak sedar tinggal lagi 8 bulan. last aku check ticker tu dah lama jugakla... was like 10 or 9 months..hahaha...and takde masa nak check hari-hari. even kalau pijak blog sendiri pun, tak tengok pun wedding ticker tu...cam tak berapa kisah je ko ni??!!??

my parents start asking on catering service. mula-mula ambil quotation from our previous caterer, masa wedding Angah..

i was like... gileee! oke... kalau tengok harga and what they offer memang sepadanlah.. lauk sampai 4,5 jenis, kuih muih 4 jenis, bubur 2 jenis, abc lagi... tapi siapa je nak makan banyak2 ni!!?? grgrgrgr...

with the price, tents is not included. menjadilkan ianya bertambah mahal..and we need to reduce tetamu from 1500 to 1000...

i convinced my parents, ramai lagi caterer murah dan sedap dekat luar sana...so now, i need to look for one..

i have to admit, caterer yang tadi tu memang super sedap food dia.

sedap tapi mahal sikit, apa salahnya, kata Ayah.

tapi Mak cakap, banyak lagi sedap kat luar sana..

Tapi Ayah tak berapa seronok kalau food tak sedap...

i need to start survey on catering. the most important part dalam kenduri nanti..makannnnn!!!

kalau korang ada suggestion tolong ye ;)

Kursus Kahwin P16

We went to Kursus Kahwin few weeks back. tak sempat nak story, so here some..

Hari tu kitorang pergi kursus kahwin masih satu hari setengah. sabtu 1/2 day, ahad full day...takde pun qiam seperti yang di uar-uarkan... mayb belum start..

kursus kahwin tu dekat precint 16, belakang alamanda, belakang petronas. every wknd ada. mana2 b2b & g2b yg belum pergi tu silalah pergi..there were so many inputs yang menarik. sebaiknya pergilah dengan pasangan, so kita tau and sama-sama belajar dengan dia..fahami dan hayati tanggungjawab masing-masing dan bertoleransi. walaupun nafkah tanggungjawab suami, sebagai isteri kenalah tolong meringankan beban...jangan duit saya duit saya.duit awak duit saya... no..no.no.. ini isu paling penting lah selain kepentingan pembentukan sebuah keluarga muslim yang sejati...

sepanjang kursus tu oklah, cuma tengahari ahad tu ngantuk sikit.. tapi all penceramah were fun and full with jokes, cuma tengahari ahad kurang sikit. tapi still..OKAY. overall tak seseram yang aku bayangkan. serius memula tu siap berdebar-debar. kotla ustaz panggil baca-baca ayat dekat depan... dari tau, terus lupa sebab nervous sangat...Dewan kuliah pun selesa, bukan macam tutorial class room yang pastinya.. :P

tapi..tapi....ada sikit kekurangan... food dia... cawan minuman agak comot. yang macam baru masuk lumpur punya cawan. memang tak lalu lah nak minum...permukaan air yang berminyak, memang mati lah selera. time-time tu jugak...

so, siapa rajin boleh bawak bekal...ok. tu sahaja. penat, nak rehat... daa~

cincin untuk dia...

a little bit of our progress,

we purposely went to Mines, semata-mata nak tempah cincin for him. Akulah, always in rush on everything. oh, actually no. i prefer to settle everything earlier. so at the end of the day, aku boleh senyum lebar sambil ulit bantal peluk...

i told MF to look for any design he likes. but this guy, still stick to the one yang dia tengok dulu-dulu. memang kelakarkan. taste tak berubah. love at the first sight katanye...so layankan sahaja...last post on his wedding band

for him, just a normal wedding band with solitaire diamond will do, and fine for us. he insisted on solitaire, coz he bought one for me as well. last time when we bought wedding ring for me, ada nyonya cincin tu cakap, solitaire is actually very special. u only give to someone special in ur life&heart..lebih kurang macam solitaire=one=u r the only one. camtu lah lebih kurang.

sekadar hiasan.

so because of that, dia juga nak solitaire!!? i find he is cute guy, and sentiasa memberi perhatian pada benda-benda macam ni, but sometimes tak. hohoho.

we bought Platim from GoldHeart: a mixture of platinum and sterling silver.

i paid 50% of the ring price, and its ready to be collected somewhere in August. Lebih kurang 3 bulan dari sekarang.We opted for new ring yang fresh and purposely made for him...oh ya, the price sudah naik roughly rm200 from the date we both saw it at Mid Valley. No point of waiting, nanti price beza gedebuk 500 boleh nangis dibuatnya...

nanti, August kami datang balik. bring along my ring. untuk ukir something at the back of the ring. tak tau lagi nak tulis apa. mayb both of our name...that SA told me he will do for me..FOR FREE..so aku memang ingat sangatlah bab-bab free ni... jangan ingat aku lupe! for MF, he will do for free, of course...!! since MF bought my wedding ring @ habib. kami rasa bagus sangatlah kalau aku punya pun freeeee~

nanti nak suruh dia polish sekali lah, boleh?? hantar kasi wax!hahahah.
*bawak sekali rantai tangan, kasi polish...wahh,chantek ke???*

hukum cincin bagi lelaki bole klik sini

bukan apa, kalau tanya SA, habis semua dia bantai boleh.. =)

Pelamin Decorator done!

Yes. yes. i'm so happy. finally i can cross pelamin decorator for reception from preparation list. might as well cross baju reception and baju bertandang. sebab semua amek dari dia aje. heehee. suke ok!

i first met her at pameran pengantin last week. sekejap aje pergi not even 30 minutes pun, pergi dengan mak sebab datang nak kutip pamplet banyak-banyak. pukul 5 dapat parking, 5.30 balik to fetch ayah dekat airport. and this pelamin decorator was the last person i met that day. i was attracted to kerusi and pelamin kecik dia buat at her booth. so quickly tarik mak...

mak, nak yang ni. nak yang ni!nak macam ni. hehehe.

akak tu explain everything. and aku pulak asek cakap dekat mak..waahh..besh ni mak. mak pun asek senyum angguk2 setuju and macam sukalah dengan what she offer. promotion day was actually until 30th april aje... and i dont practise bayar booking time tu jugak. to me, aku nak pergi butik dia tengok dulu, ok ke x. only then bayar book..And akak tu extend promotion day until semalam for me. hehe. mekaseh kak!

On the way tu, mak asyik cakap ambik akak tu jelah. aku pun macam memang nak.. nak!nak! tapi biarlah dulu until aku datang butik die. ececeh.

so yesterday, i went to her boutique. butik dia dekat shj dengan Thai Steamboat dengan MF.

OK, i decided. this is the one. her PR is very good. tipulah kalau aku cakap the decision made memang totally for what she offered..memang PR die ade jugak lah mempengaruhi sikit-sikit. ;) she even let me try satu baju pengantin.

there is something inside me saying. dis is the one...i dont have any negative feelings pun masa tu. so im up for it. mudah-mudahan semuanya baik sahaja on that day nnt. Amin.

ada gambar aku try baju dia, but malu lah nak letak cni...huuhuu..

bracelet done!

Last weekend dah selamat membeli sikit barang hantaran. gumbira sangat2..hehe... i bought hand watch for him, and he bought me telekung for hantaran and bracelet for engagement party (party lah sangat??) we can cross this three items with smile, and hati yang berbunga-bunga.

i dont plan to share the photo, but just some thoughts and my humble opinion shj ok..

we bought telekung dekat new Muslimah boutique yang baru bukak near to my apartment. Cantik-cantik okay kat situ.. layanan pun mesra aje..kedai pun wangi *motif?*. pashmina pink die cantik sangat, tapi takde pulak benda alah ni dalam list hantaran... hehehhe

talk about bracelet, we managed to find something lower than the budget. but trully, from the first glance saya sudah jatuh hati. we found this lucky one at Tomei. i went to several habib's outlets. but to be true, none that really catches my eyes. and buat aku meronta-ronta telling him..that is the one!that is the one! *aksi perempuan saiko*. so we decided to wait. but we came across tomey the other day, memang x berhajat nak membeli pun. hehe. just nak usha-usha.. tapi terus tangkap cintan cintun tahap tak boleh tidur malam tengok bracelet nan satu tu.. actually DUA...memang dua... tapi MF ni buat-buat tak paham pulak..heheh... so aku dok compare between the two, satu tu mmg nipis halus aje tapi ade sebaris batu-batu ala ala diamond...the other one, bentuk cam ular. hahhaha*ikut suke akula nak samekan dengan ape kan*

ok, tak kesah lah mana yang aku belikan, sebaris batu atau cam ala-ala ular, tapi pointnyer di sini, if you are looking for more option on designs..i suggest u to go to tomei. they have a lot of designs yang cantik-cantik. habib pulak, aku rasa macam kurang design yang menambat hati. hati aku lah kan. hati orang lain aku tak tau, cant tell. mungkin orang lain cakap habib paling cantik, but then its up to u.. cantik is so subjective.

and to be specific tomey sunway piramid. hehehhe..sebab aku beli dekat sini.. lepas potong sikit emas tu, dapat lah kurang harga lagi...dekat 300 jugak kot... ;)

by the way, aku cuma survey this two jenama je. sebab yang lain-lain tu dengar nama pun dah buat aku gerun, so malas nak fikir macam mana nak menyelinap masuk kedai diorang..hehe.and then nak temu bual salesperson *ala-ala gaya nak membeli* macam poket bakal laki ku setebal kotak tisu kan...huhu..

sementara tunggu dia potong and polish balik bracelet kesayangan kami meronda-ronda lagi..and terjumpa kedai jam ni. ape tah nama. hajat di hati nak tengok Tissot. ecececeh. nak-nak dengar ada 20% off ni.. cepat-cepat paksa MF hamek mana-mana yang berkenan. Aku memang tak bole dengar ade sales, kalau dengar dapat free gift pun aku dah gatal jari jemari nak sambar..best part is, bukan for Tissot je ada sales tu, but whole kedai. hehehe. tapi end up MF tak pilih Tissot pun. but other jenama. biarlah dia, asal dia suka..

and, sempatlah temubual mamat sales tu, katanye Tissot hanya keluar new design sekali je setahun. dalam bulan January hari tu. so happy hunting all~

so, bila dah beli seawal ini, kenalah stop and jangan cuba-cuba nak cuci mata looking for those items above. or else akan menyesal, mula lah fikir alaa..nape dulu tak tunggu sikit. Feeling that i hate most masa sedang buat preparation ni. i hate comparing what i have with others, if i find mine is better, that would definately be okkayyy..what if the other one is wayyyy better?? ingat MF nak beli kan satu lagi keee??

i also dont really like to talk about what i have bought with others, karang mulalah orang cakap..kenapa ko tak survey sini dulu..sini lagi banyak choices.lagi cantik-cantik...kan aku dah pengsan dengan seribu penyesalan....

:tomey

sekian. ~~
