Wedding Rings

Dear Diary

Arini nak share pasaL wedding ring /band - for Aiman (at first..now da jadik wedding ring for US. hehe)

OK, I received two rings. First -during merisik and another one masa Engagement aritu. I purposely chose a diamond ring for my Engagement because I was thinking that there will be no more ring for me during akad. We bought a gold bracelet instead.

Untuk Aiman's wed ring, as usual, Sya memang lalang! Kejap rasa nak platinum, japgi rasa nak beli suasa, then rasa nak silver pulak, and now Aiman kate die nak stainless steel. Tak taw la die serious ker or perli. Hahahaha. But yang penting, wajib engrave my name (cheit. ring sendiri takde pulak engrave nama "Aiman".huhu)

Tapi aritu tengok Destinasi Cinta-Irma and Redza then baru taw yang their rings tu actually made from silver. Then lalang mode datang lagi. Kali nih ade unsur berkobar-kobar dengan spirit ala-ala confirm nak jugak! (ayat ape nih?)

So, nanti nak inform Aiman. I want his wed ring to be something like (or exactly like) Redza. And if budget permits, I want to have one too. Kite beli pair la. Eh! boleh camtu?

Owh.. tadi kate nak share kan?? BTW, I found this -Anggun Klasik-.. diorang la yang buat cincin Irma and Redza aritu~

Nanti nak try request quotation. Yeay yeay!!!

p/s : but still, sya adore sangatt wed ring Bella Swan dalam film Twilight. Owh...*pengsan*

Received Engagement album from OP. yeay!

Dear Diary

Today I just received my Engagement album!

tp time kawen nnti ingat nk try different photographers pulak. Plan tak nak amik package. sebab nak ade variety sket =)

Akad ngan photographer laen, reception ngan yang lain pulak.. OK ker?? huhu

Persembahan Gamelan during Wedding Reception

Dear Diary

Longgggg waayy to go (My wedding) tapi I've been thinking about lots of wedding stuff sekarang nih. Taw.. saye over excited. Lately nih Aiman pon macam menyampah nak dengar. Balik keje je tunang die cakap psL kawen, pegi keje-cakap pasaL kawen, nak makan-cakap pasaL kawen, jangan trauma dah la! huhu Well, nih La problem nye kalaw study x bape hectic (semester just started kan.. keje pon tak banyak) and kat office ter-sangat la takde keje (rase cm makan gaji buta da skang nih!)

So, now I'm in a choosing-my-wedding-theme mood. Ha.. sejenis kumpulan mood jugak selain dari moodie, happy, excited, etc. Hehehehe.

I plan to have two different themes for reception and majlis bertandang. Plan nak buat traditional dekat my side (because me orang kampung kan. So easier to me-realisasi-kan theme nih) while modern/English (la sangaaattt) theme for side Aiman.  Or the best pon, we switch - meaning that- mine would be modern theme while classic/rustic utk side En Aiman.

Reason : I'm unable to find a gamelan group to perform during my reception at Kampar. Unable bukan sebab tak ade group, tapi sebab most of them are based in KL/Selangor, so kalau Sya gigih jugak nak ade gamelan performance la bagai-at Kampar, then I have to bear with the extra charges (accomodation, transport, etc.)

But still, I have contacted some of them (masih gigih!) and glad that I am now aware (kira up-to-date la konon) about Gamelan groups and prices offered. I've shared here some of the Gamelan Groups that you might want to consider if you plan to have Gamelan performance for your wedding/reception.

Unfortunately, price quoted for Gamelan Performance At Kampar, Perak starts at RM2k ("BERMULA DARI" ye rakan-rakan). That makes me think more than twice! huhu. tu belum kes my angan-angan nak ada live band, live feed, dan segala macam jenis live! Owh..memang KIV la jawab nye! huhu

But, jangan tak taw yang sekolah pon ade team gamelan jugak taw. If you know Mamat Khalid (yang buat citer Hantu Kak Limah tu. orang perak memang suke sangat La kat die kan..! hahahahaha) mase reception anak dia kat Impiana Hotel if I'm not mistaken, they hired this group untuk perform gamelan. They are group Gamelan from SMK Raja Chulan~

Rasa-rasa mahal tak kalau nak hire dorang? Rasanya tak kan la kot kan.. budak-budak sekolah je. Perform pon untuk suka-suka/minat. Bukan nya bisnes. (sendiri wat hypotheses)

So, Interested?
Please contact pihak sekolah (kate nye..). Sya malas nak contact sebab lambat lagi. Kang school principle tanye "Bila wedding date?" terkujat-kujat lak nak reply (terkujat?bahase ape nih???haha)

Engagement Review / Update

Dear Diary

Just nak update. I am officially engaged! Hehehe.

The engagement ceremony was held on 16 Sep 2012 a.k.a Malaysia Day. An easiest way to remember our E! date, kan..?

Well..overall semua OK. nothing extra gempak. Simple je..

Event started with a simple doa selamat which was led by Abah's friend, then makan2 start dalam pukuL 12 pm.

But that day memang quite hectic! Woke up pukul 6 am. Pukul 8 am I bawak konco2 (my sis and 3cousins) untuk cari fresh flower for my handbouquet. Mak Odah brought many flowers all the way from Cameron but unfortunately bunga tu tak kembang2 lagi. So tak seswai.

bought daisy, and ntah bunga ape lagi, cost me total RM15 (murah kan??). Pastu rush pergi ambik cupcakes and cake at secret recipe (baru nak ambik???) sampai rumah pukul 10.30 am and the MUA da sampai..serabot x??rumah tak kemas Lagi!!

owh..malas nak fikir, I was then proceed ngn make up. Surprisingly, after make up, tengok semua da tersusun cantik! sangat suke! centerpiece da tersusun (later I'll upload the pics), buffet station pon da ready. whoaaa...

On that day, family Aiman sampai quite lambat. Pukul 2 lbh br sampai. Everyone asek tanye and Sya da tak larat nak jawab diorang da sampai mane (Aiman is from Ampang) So from Ampang to Kampar, will take around 2 hours at least.

OK..full review later (bile rajin.huhu). Now, just nak share some pics

me with the simple-DIY pelamin =)

Sya rase make up tu tebal sangat but everyone said OK. I even requested the MUA to buang sket but "he" said tak tebal. And insisted that I will look fine in pics. Tp bile tgk pic nih, still rase tebal.
My ex-roomate (Uni) said I look better without make up. Ntah la..

Well this pic is from Kak Jue's fb. Kitorang tak amik pic sangat pon since we have our photographer kan. 3 orang lak tu! hoho. belom campor belah Aiman lagi! bajet glemer jap! hehehe.

During outdoor session! me sangat tak sabar nak tunggu pic from OP. nanti kite share ek.

My advice to ALL yang bakal engaged : Memang stress while planning / manning our own event. but the most important part actually is we need to trust people around us. Our family, relatives, etc. we cannot afford (the stress) to do it alone. Macam Sya.. seriously pasrah mase make up but after make up, everything turned out to be just like what i've imagined / planned. The arrangement, the flow, etc. Thanks a lot to ALL.. Family, makcik2, pakcik2, cousins, and ramai Lg

Alhamdullillah..

mode: masih tak faham ape itu darah manis????! erkk

Engagement Door gift (Batch 1) : Glass Jar - Settled

Dear Diary

Ngeee..tgh2 malam update blog. what does it mean? =p

BTW, last sun I met K. Mai from Lurvering and collected my glass jars. I ordered 200 pcs from her. Remember I told you about the promo? RM1 per jar. Berbaloi (especially to orang yang xde seni like me).

OK, so on Tue mak and abah went to search for my dream kacang (kacang pon msk mimpi. ko hado??hehehe). The best price I can get is RM 7.90 per kilo but out of stock. Sadis kan?? So lastly mak beli jugak from satu kilang nih (surprisingly the price is higher. Adoii)

RM 9 per kilo. Since I have no other option, kitorang beli jugak La..

So, tonight we all bekerjasama masokkan kacang tu dalam glass jar. Mom suggests to add more. Yang tu KIV dulu. But my glass jar officially settled la kira nya. hehehe. Here are some of the pics (sj try tarok watermark.laen-laen kaLer Lak 2. hahahaha. Layan je La..)

These are the jars (Aiman xske design sticker tu. Tapi tak kesah La! saye suke jek.huhu)

My kacaaannnngggg.. See.. Yellowwww.. I will follow you. Ngee. Skang jadik hantu kuning!hehe

Kacang kuniiiingggggg nih Lagik (suke bebeno. bukan suke makan, tp suke kaLer nye jek)

Rs cm spoiL lak tgk pic tu ade wordings. Takpe..kite sLow2 blaja ek.hoho

DIY mini pelamin : hunting for props

Dear Diary

Yesterday me yang dah Lama berpakat ngn my parents and my sis telah ke Sungai Besar, Selangor. Motif?? = Hunting props for my mini pelamin.

Huh!! ingatkan murah. rumour semua tu.sama jek harga dengan kat Kampar. cheit!

Tapi since da sampai kat sane, so borong jugak La kan..

I went to Ipoh too. People called it "Pasar Bena". Barang-barang pengantin, flowers, macam2 La..mmg banyak kat situ. Price?? Biasa jek. Nak kata murah tu tak La..tp affordable.

So, I bought few things there (at Pasar Bena & Bunga-bunga Cinta Ipoh and at few shops at Sg Besar). So let's look at some of them;

Paper flower (xtaw ape jenis paper nya..crepe kot..)
Location : Kedai Bunga-bunga Cinta, Ipoh (pergh..nama memang tak tahannn!)
Price : RM 4.90 (1 paper boleh dapat 3 bunga besar-size bunga tangan/HB)

Paper Lantern
Location : "Pasar Bena", Ipoh
Price : RM 4 (size besar) the smaller the size, the cheaper its price.

Pasu Putih
Location : Kedai bodo, Sg Besar
Price : RM 12

Flowers (Putih & yellow)
Location : Kedai bodo, Sg Besar
Price : RM 2.50 setangkai (1 tangkai ade 5 kuntum)

Balik tu, kitorg teros start gubah pasu bunga. Since sume orang mmg xde seni, so when we managed to gubah the flowers (or at least made them stick in the vase) pon dikira a big success! hehehe

See.. yang kaler hitam macam bola jarang tu actually wajib beli taw. Mende tu la yang wat bunga tu bentok bulat! hoho. so that's the trick. Though kita xde seni, still boleh gubah bunga2 tu.. cucuk jek kt bola hitam tu. Price?? huh! nampak cam bodo je tp harge RM 12. same ngan harge pasu tu!! Bought at kedai bodo kat Sg Besar.

Abah settle kan the first pasu. hahahaha. Consider ade seni la tu.. =p

On the way..

Done with the first one

Finally, we managed to finish both!!!!!!

Heeeee...eventhough frust sebab harga tak murah seperti yg diharapkan (jauh kot Kampar ke Sg Besar), but still rasa lega biLe tgk bunga yang dah siap tu.. OK, la..
Actually I called the kedai bodo sebab bengang gile dengan tuan kedai cina tu yg sangat berlagak. da la tak bg murah, muka cam hape jek! cakap cam orang xpuas ati. kenapa still beli kat c2?? sebab da dtg jauh2.rs cam *%6&#@* lak kaLau tak beli pape kan..phewww..sabar je La..Lupa nak amik gambar kedai 2.boLeh post kt cni.rs nye kedai *%6&#@* camtu xde copyright ke ape kot..aaaaa...sakit ati biLe ingat!!

Ya Allah..tingkatkan laaaaaa tahap kesabaran ku nih.. Semoga semuanya OK.. Aminn..

Engagement Preps : Bunting Murah

Dear Diary

At first xde plan pon nak ade bunting ke ape..tetibe jek rasa cam nak ade bunting. Memandangkan Sya xde seni macam some B2B bloggers yg rajin buat DIY projects, centerpiece, candle buffet, etc. So I opt for having a bunting utk menceriakan suasana.eceh! hehehe


So, Sya google and opened mudah.my And terjumpa ads by Mr Anas. Sent sms (cepat betul reply) and on da dot Sya aggreed with his quotation.


Harge? RM60 for 2 pcs bunting. Murah tak???
Since Sya kat Kampar, Sya request supaya bunting tu di-pos kan ke office (xsuke pos kat rumah sebab kadang2 xde org). And I have to pay RM10. So total is RM70 inc postage. Murah tak??

Sya xtaw la if out there ade yg Lg murah but for me ni da kire murah!

Malam ntu jugak Sya email En Anas on what I want and how my bunting is supposed to look like. Sya suke simple. Theme Kuning. That's all. Sya xnak gambar. Yang tu confirm! Reason - sebab memang takde gambar yang seswai. Gamba ade banyak, tp takot makcik, pakcik2, orang suraw (utk bacaan yassin) terkejot puLak nengok pic kitorang. hehehehehe.guraw!

So, no picture. That's confirmed. And the next day, En Anas sent me a design yang die da prepared. Sya suke. Simple. Hehehe


OK x???

Sya teros transfer RM70 to his account. Tak sabar nak tunggu bunting sampai. Hopefully cepat la.. I got less than 2 weeks b4 my small engagement ceremony.

For those yang interested untuk buat bunting, pls contact Mr Anas

*For 1 pc bunting including stand Mr Anas quoted me RM 70. Tp Aiman ade byk stand. tp xtaw la match ke x, kan.. xpe..kLW xLeh stand, kite hang jek kt tepi khemah. hehehe*
