Konfiden

Hye.

My Darling and I, together with Aryan visited a friend who just gave birth to a baby boy. So I was talking to the mother and my Darling was talking to the father. Suddenly...

MD : Aming, dia (the baby's father) cakap Adam tak bangun malam minum susu pun.
YT : Eh, bangun la. Every 2 hours dia (the baby's mother) cakap.
BM : A ah. Tapi dia tak nangis la. (ni assurance from the baby's mother)
BF : Ohh. Aku la yang tak bangun rupanya. *gelak besar*

Boleh? Konfiden kau cakap anak kau tak bangun malam padahal kau yang tido tak sedarkan diri.

Bye.

Whatever

Hye.

This post has no one specific story. I just felt like blabbing whatever today. Too full too work.

OK. So I was back in KL last week. Had the chance to meet up with all my besties. Best gila. Especially when I met Aritha and Shasha. Try kasut harga RM600 (after less ok) sampai kaki berdarah. Over kan? :p Pastu siap muka tak malu habiskan red velvet cake yg tinggal satu slice tu. Duduk borak lama, try itu ini, tanya itu ini, last2 keluar camtu je. But nonetheless, I had fun. It was a short meet but it was worth it. :)

Oh I am probably going to Singapore end of this year. I haven't gotten around planning for it properly yet. Too lazy. I don't even know where to start. I should delegate this one task to My Darling perhaps. Hehe.

A quick update on my 7-month-old baby. He has been crawling around the house and is now trying to pull himself up any chance he gets. Of course he can't actually walk or stand (without support) yet, but he only stops trying when he's asleep. Seriously. Penat ok. Kalau tak, takde la orang tu letak anak dia dalam kotak kan? *hi Aritha* On food, he has been given solids about a month ago. So far he has not shown any preference over food fed to him which is good. For me la kan. Ni kira suma benda aku telan punya kes la. Senang la mak dia. :)

OK lah. Nak pegi toilet.

Bye.

Dahi Luas

Hye.

Conversation between my mom and I after a few people kept passing the same remark about my baby's hairline.

Me : Ma, betoi ka kalau dahi luas tu cerdik?
Mom : Tak tau la. Orang dulu suka mempositifkan yang negatif. Nak sedap kan hati> Kalau tak, tak dak orang nak dahi luas.

Boleh tak mak aku ni? Tak memberangsangkan langsung jawapan dia.

Bye.

Same Set

Hye.

I know this entry is late but nonetheless, I still wanna thank these people for actually making me happy. :) I turned 28 years old (Alhamdulillah) not too long ago. No celebration took place as I had my hands full with my baby. Plus My Darling wasn't around. So kau nak aku celebrate sorang2, memang tak la kan? Hmm. That reminds me, my Darling still owes me a birthday dinner!

OK. I usually don't get a lot of birthday gifts. Those who usually make an effort to get me a present are usually the same set of people. Special individuals that matter, btw. :) So, this year is pretty much the same. Here's a list of birthday gift I got from my lovelies. Thanks a lot! Love you.

iPod Shuffle (the green one)

Longchamp Le Pliage Medium Tote

Bobbi Brown Compact Powder

The iPod is from my Darling. You know how I go on and on about my weight problem? I have been putting off jogging as I couldn't find my iPod anywhere (yes, I need my iPod when I jog). Hence, the new shuffle is presented. Hehe. Tapi skang puasa la pulak kn. So, tak jog jugak. Hahaha.

The bag is supposed to be a birthday gift from yours truly but it was stolen by my Darling jugak. So aku ok je la kan. :D Oh, Sasa and Aritha bought the same bag too. Boleh jadi Le Pliage angels pulak lepas ni. Hehe.

The last one is from Aritha and Sasa. This gift is truly a life-saver. With my current skin condition, I really need this. Unless if I plan to scare the whole office off lah! Thanks babes. :)

Tu je la hadiah birthday aku tahun ni. Not much but then again, like I said earlier, they are all gifts that I love, from the people that I love, too.

Bye.

Just Because

Hye.

I don't categorize myself as having lots of friends. I am a firm believer of quality instead of quantity (you can shoot me now if you like :p). But really, I am. I could probably count those I considered (real close) friends with one (or probably both) hands. Today, just because it's Friday (haha!), I wanna talk about the people I love so much. People that I don't think I can't live without. People that I truly appreciate. People that I consider family. :)

As you all know, I am stuck here in Bintulu for quite a while now. Since I got back from my maternity leave (about 7 weeks ago), I haven't been back in KL. This is probably the longest I have stayed in and I can't say that it is not affecting me. I have my baby, my mom and my Darling of course, but still, I need Bobbi Brown. :p I think you might notice in my previous entry, I mentioned that I have ran out of some stuffs. It was so hard trying to obtain those thing. To make it worse, they only sell it at certain places. My sisters were both too busy to help. Not to mention the fact that my Darling's going back to KL but will have NO time to do the shopping for me. I was kinda down. Felt a bit helpless until Aritha came along. :D :D :D She, despite having to take care of her baby (who's about the same age as Aryan), offered to lend a helping hand. It might be something small to her, but I really appreciate what she's done for me and I am here to tell her just that. You have no idea how much happier you've made me just by getting me those Bobbi Browns. And this was just one of the littlest things she did for yours truly. Kalau nk tulis suma, mmg panjang la kn. :) Papepun, glad to have you as part of my life.

I came from a small family. My father's an only child and I had (only) 5 cousins on my mother's side. And that's about it. So when I did my wedding at home, I was faced with the greatest challenge, manpower. Thank God for Elmi though. She was there working her ass off. Cleaning, vacuuming and keeping yours truly company of course. :) I couldn't thank her enough for what she did. Even my mom kept on mentioning 'Nak masuk minang pun ada sorang ja anak jantan'. Haha. Boleh? But jokes aside, she really was of the kindest soul I've ever met. I couldn't really imagine what my life would be like without her. I am now waiting for the day to return the favour to her. So Emi, cepat la kahwin! :p

Although I talk about how it kills me not to be able to easily get hold of my Bobbi Brown stuffs, I am not an expert on makeup. I'd love to do more but for now, powder and (some occasional) blush will have to do. But, I do have a person who without fail, will always entertain me when it comes to it. I think Shasha knows that I am more talk than action. Haha. But still, she's over-flowing with tips and what nots. I rant about my makeup concerns all the time with her. Not once has she turned her back on me. In fact, she even got me a gift that would somehow help me pull the look I've been dying to achieve. Shasha, the day I pull off the smokey eye look, I shall channel all my thanks to you! :)

There. The three amazing souls I am very thankful for. Love you girls!

p/s : this post is making me miss them all. :(

Bye.

Friends In Common

Hye.

I have recently deactivated my friendster account. Reason being, I hardly ever go there anymore. Plus, when I was actively keeping in touch with friends on friendster, I was naive enough to approve friend requests from people I don't know. Konon bangga ada ramai kawan. Bongok kan. To some, it might be OK to approve total strangers but I just realized that it is kinda dangerous for us, especially girls (matila ngaku kanak2) to do so. Anyway, I am on Facebook now, smarter and more careful. :)

I know some of us tend to approve (strangers') requests for permission to view our profile, photos and what not oblivious to the fact that there are a lot of psycopaths and perverts out there. What seem to be an innocent pose by your car or in front of your house could be quite costly. Majority of us do not realize that most photos that we uploaded are revealing some thing about us. Not to mention those on 4sq. *hi diri sendiri* So I advise, choose wisely. Tayah la nak bangga ada kawan sampai 6987 orang kalau kau kenal 5 orang je out of the bunch. It's better to have 5 friends you really keep in touch with and know personally rather than have 6987 strangers in your list. Besides, you don't call people you don't know friends right?

When it comes to approving friend requests, I always look at the friends in common that I might have with the requestor. If I don't have any, I will just decline. I am not interested to know what you do with your life. Sorry. Lagi lagi kalau kau jenis update status tetiap 5 minit. Pastu 'like' SEMUA status kau sendiri. Memang boleh buat aku tarik rambut aku dan boss aku (eh ttiba cari alasan nk tarik rambut boss). So to avoid that, I just don't approve people I don't know. Tapi kadang2 ada friends in common pun aku tak kenal or lupa jugak. Haha.

Anyway, please don't call me a snob for not approving your friend request. I just don't feel like sharing (part of) my life with you, simply because you're not a friend to me.

And oh satu lagi, aku adalah paling malas nak search for friends on the network. I rarely send out friend request to others. Unless you were suggested by someone or by facebook itself. Ye, saya pemalas. :p

Bye.

Impeccable Timing

Hye.

I have tonnes of work to finish before I leave Bintulu for almost 3 months. But here I am. I tell you, I have impeccable timing. :p Anyway, I was tagged by Aritha and here goes nothing. Why am I doing this now? Simply because I don't feel so good about leaving my Darling behind, alone in Bintulu. :( So since Aritha pun ckp nk buat entry ni kene la ade mushy feeling baru leh buat, so here I am.

First time jumpa with your hubby, bila n kat mana?
The very first time we met was on the 7th May 2007. It was in Bintulu. Oh and kat tennis court. :D

How he proposed?
Erm. Ni ade tricky skit. He didn't actually propose, but that was the first time he ever mentioned about getting married. So, I just assumed that that was a proposal from him. Anyway, read the story here.

Special date with ur hubby?
I don't quite understand what this question is all about. Is it asking about date as in anniversary, birthday etc kinda date or the kinda date that you actually go to? Hmm.

Changes that he asked you to do?
None. This is one guy that never asked me to change anything about me (yet). Things might change after I deliver though. :p Especially when I have trouble shedding those extra kilos. Haha.

What about him that u love so much?
Everything! But if I have to choose, I love the fact that he knows how to handle me well. Not everyone can manage handling yours truly ok.

What is about him that you wish he wud change?
Probably his lack of self-confidence. He really should believe in himself more. I mean I do. :)

You will lose your mind & crack your head when?
He's not somewhere in my vicinity and I can't get a hold of him. Sakit jiwa ok.

You will smile thru your eyes for the whole day when he?
Surprises me! :D

Complete below sentences "my love towards my hubby is as big as
The universe? OK la tu kn. Hehe.

So, done. I will be leaving Bintulu tomorrow. Sedeh nak meninggalkan my Darling. This is the first time we will be apart for quite a while. Hopefully things will turn out well for us. InsyaAllah.

Bye.

Perfect Timing

Hye.

I have officially become one of those good old (lazy) people. The kind who wants to keep a blog but never (or rarely) wants to update. I have thought of shutting this blog down a couple of times, but I can't remember why I never got around to actually doing it. Hmm.

Anyway, I just felt like scribbling something today. I was in KL for about 5 days last week. I had some official business I needed to attend to and decided to take the opportunity to visit my dermatologist. Yes, I now have a dermatologist.

My skin kind of gave up on me a day or two before my wedding. Talk about perfect timing. Everyone kept on telling me it's because of the hormones. I sure hope so. But sometimes I have this feeling that it's not. I have no idea what went wrong and my dermatologist can't seem to give a straight answer too.

Nonetheless, I still see him just in case he can make me beautiful (beautiful keee???) again. Not to mention it's free. Hehe. So, during my last visit, while he was figuring out what (other) cream he wants me to try, this conversation took place.

Doc : So, how long have you been married?

YT : About 7 months

Doc : Are you planning to conceive anytime soon?

YT : Huh? Errmm. I am actually pregnant right now.

Doc : Oh (puzzled). How many months?

YT : 6 months plus.

Doc : Then I can't give you this cream (pointing to something which I assume is the cream he was referring to). It's not suitable during pregnancy.

YT : Oh OK (masih blur amat).

OK. Putting aside the fact that I told him that I was pregnant during my first visit, can't he see that my tummy does not look like a normal person's tummy? You can't possibly think I just had too much to eat! Takkan la aku kenyang sangat sampai jd begitu rupa? Hmm. Maybe I have put on so much weight that other parts of my body are overshadowing my tummy. Haha.

On a completely different note, I just love tommee tippee! But after reading reviews, I think I just have to forget about the whole thing. Tp cantik kan? :D

Bye.

In Love

Hye.

I am sooo in love with this!

Cute kan? Dah la nama pun RYAN Baby Bag. Sesuai la dengan tema kehidupan I yg sentiasa mooning over Ryan Reynolds (matila xde kene mngene). The thing is, to me, it's kinda overprice for a baby bag. Kn Aritha? Baik I beli handbag Coach untuk I je (matila berkire dgn anak sendiri). Tapiiiii, My Darling said xpe, beli je la. Hehe. Hmm. Got some thinking to do. Besides, not sure if it's sold here in Malaysia. Anyway, anyone feeling like doing a little charity? *big grin*

Bye.

Naudzubillah..

I received news just the other day. It's about a colleague and his wife. His wife has just delivered a baby. The poor baby didn't survive. Innalillah..I don't know the details of what really happened. Nonetheless, the news left me holding back my tears. I can't imagine being them at this point. I'm too scared to even imagine anything. It's really sad, scary and at the same time awakening. I have received saddening news before, but this time, I can't seem to shake it off. It's been 3 days since I heard about what hit them. Everytime I am alone, I will think about how they are surviving the days. How do they console themselves? Or each other? And I prayed for them. I prayed that God will give them strength, patience and guidance to get them through this nightmare of theirs. Silently, I prayed for us, too. Naudzubillah.

p/s : al-Fatihah for the little one in heaven

Of The Other Two

Hye.

Alhamdulillah. My Darling has recovered from whatever it was that he's having. :D I'm so thankful. It's so bloody good to see him smiling and making (lame) jokes again. :p Thanks everyone for your prayers and well wishes. We really appreciate them. :)

Anyway, I'm here today to pay my last debt. I know. Not that anyone cares, right? Well, I don't either. So, here goes some photos of the other two events during my (not so) big day. Enjoy!

The Reception (Penang)
Date : 3rd June 2009 (Wednesday)
Time : 8.30pm
Venue : Sg. Tiram, Penang (Home)


The Reception (Kuala Lumpur)
Date : 7th June 2009 (Sunday)
Time : 12.00pm
Venue : Dewan Felda Merak Kayangan, KL

There. So, I don't think I owe anyone anymore wedding photos. If you have to see more, visit me on Facebook. Oh ya, before I forgot, these photos are courtesy of Azam (Neur Maya) and Fairuz (Avicenna Studio). Superb individuals. Highly recommended. :D

p/s : Ya Allah, Alhamdulillah. Pls take good care of US always.

Bye.

Close To Home

Hye.

It's my birthday today. :) I am officially 27 years old. Alhamdulillah. I could really hope for a better birthday, but I am just really grateful I have been living a good life all these years. Besides, it's not really a good time for me to want a big celebration or anything. Sigh.

I am in no mood to feel all 'birthday girl-y' (ade ke perkataan ni?) simply because I'm worried sick about my Darling. He has been down with high fever for almost 2 full days now. The doc is not ruling out that it could be H1N1. Yes. You read right. My Darling could be down with H1N1. :(

The truth is, I have not been paying much attention to the fast spreading H1N1 virus. I do my part by washing my hands as frequent as I need to and what not. I follow its deadly development on the news and all that, too. But again, never did I take it seriously. But now when it hits close to home, I couldn't help feeling terrified of it. I do.

It really kills me to see my Darling so weak and sick. Dgn mask nyer la, dgn batuk nyer la, dgn occassional moan and groan nyer. Sigh. Sometimes when he's not watching, I cry. I just couldn't help it. I know, some of you might think that I cry to everything. I admit, I do. But this is different. It's just is. You'd know if you were in my place.

So just please pray for our well-being people. I am praying my hardest this time around. Hopefully, Allah will hear me (like always) and help alleviate my Darling's pain a little. InsyaAllah. I just can't bear having to look at him bear all the pain alone, feeling helpless. Please. And I really can't afford to grow anymore pimples due to the stress and sleep depriving effect of this whole situation. Please be kind. :)

Before I go, I'd like to wish myself a happy birthday and thank those who took the trouble to wish me. :)

p/s : my Darling and my lovely housemates planned a small surprise for me last night. :) details later, when i am in the sharing mood.

Bye.

Dah Basi.Jadi?

Hye.

Before I start wasting my time (and yours) with another meaningless entry, I think I should thank God for being continuously kind and generous towards me. Alhamdulillah. You have never left my prayers unanswered and hopefully, your generosity and kindness will never end. It’s been good half a year (or so) and I hope the streak of good happenings will not end just yet. InsyaAllah. Amin.

OK. I know I don’t need to be doing this (especially right now) since I’ve already been married for almost 2 months. Dah basi. Jadi ?It’s a free country. I do whatever I like, you do whatever you like. So here are some of the photos from the other 2 events (engagement and solemnization). Enjoy (or not)!

The Engagement
Date : 3rd June 2009 (Wednesday)
Time : 10.00am
Venue : Sg. Tiram, Penang (Home)


The Solemnization
Date : 3rd June 2009 (Wednesday)
Time : 5.00pm
Venue : Masjid Sg. Tiram, Penang


To say the least, not everything went accordingly and smoothly. There were a few panic attacks and not so pleasant moments but Alhamdulillah they were short-lived. What matters is that in the end, everything that matters were successfully and safely executed. After all there's only so much we humans can do right? Nonetheless, I thank God. Always.

Bye.

Why Bother?

Hye.

I got a call from my wedding videographer this morning (actually it was his assistant kot). My wedding videos (highlight, full version, vide clips etc) are all ready. They wanted photos of all 3 events (solemnization + 2 receptions) to be made the cover of the DVDs. Being far out of reach, I haven’t even seen my wedding photos other than the ones they generously posted on the web. Tu pun ade la berapa kerat je kn. And I didn’t even asked them when are the final products gonna be ready. Why bother? It’s not like I can pick them up the next day if they were to be ready. Sigh. The beauty of staying far far away. :p

Anyway, since I don't actually have anything I feel is decent enough to be given to my videographer, I gave her my photographers names instead. Hehe. Suh dier mintak dgn derang la dier nk ape kn. Senang citer.

Oh lagi satu, if any of you haven’t seen our wedding highlight, here’s where you can find it. If you’re interested that is. Nak rating video tu pun boleh. Nak comment pun boleh (p/s : yg membina sahaja ok). As usual, utk sesapa yg berminat SAHAJA. If not, boleh la berambus kn. Tayah nk wat komen x perlu. *matila ttibe emo*

Bye.

Is It Me?

I have no idea what is wrong with these people. Or is it me? Hmm.

Conversation #1 - took place after we learnt about TheCompany’s new policy.

Me : Kau dh decide ke sape yg nk blah kalau perlu?
IM : Dh..Aku la..Hehe..
Me : Apsal kau pulak?
IM : Aku senang skit cari keje...Pompuan susah la..
Me : Hmm..Kalau aku yg kene blah, aku nk dok umah blaja jahit baju..
IM : Wah..Isteri mithali..Baik nye kau nk jahitkn baju Hadi..
Me : @#$#%^*&^!!! Motif? Kalau dok umah jahit baju Hadi bkn aku dpt duit pun. Aku nk amek tempahan jahit baju org la..
IM : Ohhh..

Boleh x? If I were (forced) to quit my job, do you think I’d be staying home sewing my husband’s clothes? Unless I can pay all my debts dgn menjahit baju dier, ok la kn? Haih.

Conversation #2 - took place after the internet connection at the office was restored

AF : Nok..
Me : Ye~
AF : Bz ke?
Me : Agak la.. Tp aku malas la nk wat keje..Lama sgt dh project ni..Aku boring..
AF : Bile abis?
Me : Ptt ujung thn ni..Tp mcm ada kemungkinan delay skit lagi..March 2010 kot..
AF : Mak aiii..Lama nya..Haha..Bile start project ni?
Me : 2005
AF : OMIGODS! Lama nya!!
Me : Wah..Ttibe je byk pulak Tuhan kau kn? :p

Perlu ke omigods?? Bkn kau Islam ke? Haih.

Power Abuse

Hye. Example of domestic power abuse (if there’s actually such a thing). A conversation at dinner between a husband (who eats a lot but NEVER get fat) and a wife (who is trying to lose the muffin top she developed recently) :

Hubby : Come, have some rice.

Wifey : No! (while looking at the rice like its her sworn enemy)

Hubby : Skitttt ja. Mai la rasa. U masak, xkn u x mkn pulak. Dah la u puasa kn arini.

Wifey : Xpa la. I dh rasa time I masak. I really don’t want any rice. Kan I dh makan oats dgn susu. Kenyang dah.

Hubby : Mana nk cukup makan camtu. U won’t have enough energy nnt. I suap skitt ja. Promise.

Wifey : Tidak mahu!

Hubby : Ni nak derhaka kt I ka? *dgn muka serius*

Wifey : *trus nganga sambil tunggu nasik disuapkn*

Malam Berinai Kecil

Date : 2nd June 2009 (Tuesday)
Time : 8.45pm
Venue : Sungai Tiram, Penang (Home)

Hye peeps. I got these from my official photographer's website. There are more but as usual, they will only be ready after a month or so. Anyway, these are for my malam berinai kecil. It was a simple ceremony where we had tahlil before acara merenjis and some food were served afterwards. So, enjoy ya! :D

p/s : Excuse the baju as it was done in Bintulu. It was a material I had kept for almost 2 years (long story to share here, will probably blog about it later). So, can't expect much la kn? :p

Cooking Spree

I am in the habit of turning in early lately so that I am not deprived of my 8-hour sleep. *hi acai* My Darling was not so supportive of it in the beginning. Reason being, he wants to spend more time with me after work. Siap merajuk bile kol 9 je aku ckp aku dh ngantuk. But then I explained that, yes, I am digging the smokey eyes do and all that, but I really do not wanna look like an owl (or panda) on my wedding day. I know it’s not easy to get rid of this dark circles but it will not hurt to try, right? At least I’ll get to sleep enough (read : 8 hours) and get up early to prepare breakfast for him. :)

So anyway, I wanna talk about my cooking (read : goreng, rebus, letak dlm microwave) spree for the past few days. Hehe. Aku ni bukan nye rajin masak. That’s why my blog is seldom filled with food images. *hi aritha* It will probably change once I tie the knot, but the possibility of it remaining the same is still quite high. :p Nonetheless, here goes.

Last Saturday, we (my Darling and I) were invited to a colleague’s farewell potluck barbecue party. At first I decided to just bring over some fried nuggets or tidbits (matila pemalas nk mampus). But then, my Darling’s friend (the host) ‘requested’ for spaghetti. He must have thought I’m a good (or an OK) cook la kot. I mean apart from the fact that I’m getting married in 13 days (yikes!) and a girl. Besides, everyone knows how to make spaghetti kn? Ye la tu. Hmm. Maka adalah, aku pun wat la spaghetti. Alhamdulillah. They said it was yummy. They must be really hungry. Hehe.

On Sunday, my Darling was saying that he didn’t wanna eat out anymore. Bosan dah. Nak sambal sardine katanya. So I decided to cook sambal sardine (with abosulutely no idea how) utilizing 1 can of mackerel (eceh) which belongs to my Darling. Since I didn’t know how to go about cooking this dish, I asked my Darling for instructions. After calling his mom or sis (I can’t remember), he walked me through the simple steps and voila, it’s done. Senang je sebenarnye. Hehe. Although I’m not a fan of ikan sardine tp tgk my Darling makan, sampe aku pun teringin. Oh btw, glad he liked it. :D

As I have been making it a point to sleep early (therefore waking up early too), I’ve hade time in the morning to prepare simple breakfast for my Darling. On Wednesday I fried some chicken tempura for him and today, I made French toast. It was nothing extraordinary. Roti telur je pun kn. That explains why I smell like fried eggs this morning. No kidding. I really do. But to see my Darling gobble up the toast like it was the best breakfast ever (over kn aku?), makes me forget about the fact that I’ll be smelling like fried eggs for the rest of the day today. :)

p/s : as usual, pictures are randomly googled for viewing pleasure only.

Makan :@)

WARNING : INI IALAH ENTRY YG (MUNGKIN) PENUH DENGAN MAKIAN

15 days left and the (unimportant) people around me are stressing me (almost) to the max! If only I could tell them off. I hate people who are disrespectful (or just pure dumb). Ape ke ssh sgt nk respect org? Idiots! Bkn nye aku suh kau mkn :@) (read : b*bi). Makan :@) pun x ssh sbnrnye kn acai? (matiker mak) I know it’s not really a walk in the park what I’m trying to do/achieve. But it wouldn’t hurt for you people to help make it a tad easier, would it? Apparently, it would la kn. Selfish ‘anjing betina’ (read : b*itch)! Aku mmg emo. Jadi?

Anyway, while I’m here, I’m granting (grant la sgt kn) Aritha’s request asking for how my (not so) big day is chronologically happening. InsyaAllah. OK, here goes. :)

Menanah Mata

WARNING : CONTENT MIGHT BE TOO LONG. READ AT OWN RISK.

I have been reading a lot of bride-to-bes’ blogs as of late. And it really amazes me how detail they can all be when it comes to sharing about their wedding preparation. I mean we are talking about diligently updating, googling, posting and all. My respect goes out to all of you la. Seriously. As I have mentioned in one of my previous posts, I had this dream of blogging everything about my wedding preparation. But it really proves to be too much for me. It’s not an easy task planning your own wedding. And I have no drive to update my blog every single day (or every single week for that matter). But since the ticker shows 21 days (thanks Aritha for reminding me), I think today might be a good day to share where I am in terms of getting myself prepared for the (not so) big day. This entry is only for those who want to know. Yg xmau tau tu x reti2 nk berambus keeee?

For the reception in KL, I have started to distribute the invitations. Almost done with that. I just need to send out the virtual invitations and I’m done. I don’t plan to invite too many friends for the ceremony in Penang. Just really close ones. It’s gonna be a simple and small ceremony where most of the invitees are my mom’s and dad’s relatives. But it really wouldn’t hurt to have my own friends around.

About the outfit, baju berinai and baju sanding kt Penang je yg dh fully siap. (so dah leh kawen la septtnye kn? :p) Engagement outfit still needs to be altered sbb bile aku pake baju tu, nampak mcm bontot burung je kt zip blakang. No idea what’s wrong. Perhaps too loose kot. Since we are talking about the outfits, I think I should share the change of plans that happened the last time I went back to Penang. You see, the initial plan was to have the solemnization ceremony at night in the comfort of my own home. But then, tok kadi tu nk suh nikah kt masjid (yg aku rs x sampe 10 langkah dr umah aku kot) lepas asar. Yes. I don’t know about you people, but to me, this is quite a big change. I mean, the cards have been printed stating that my majlis will start at 8pm. Xkn nk letak liquid paper kt card aku kot? Dinch mahu. I asked the tok kadi 3 kali kot, ‘Xleh wat kt umah ke ustaz?’ Mmg jwpan dier same je. So we had no choice but to succumb to the tok kadi’s ‘suggestion’. Tp itu la kn. Ttibe aku nk kene wat baju untuk nikah kt masjid la pulak. Sbb nyer ialah, awal2 dulu aku gatal wat baju kaler2 utk nikah sbb aku mmg igt nk nikah kt umah. Pastu trus sanding lite2. skang lite2 la sgt kn. Mrasa la. Tp aku x risau sbb baju nikah aku (yg kaler putih tu) dh siap pun. :) Tinggal nk fitting je. Thanks to Wan, my miracle worker. I really love him. Sgt efficient. Oh, baju bersanding kt KL yg dibuat oleh Abang Man juge dh siap, tp x fitting lagi. Lagi 21 ari tinggal nk kawen, aku x try baju2 aku lagi. Ok ke ar? Tawakal je laaa.

nk kawen kt sini leh x?

Venue in Penang is of course my house. According to my Mom, everything’s in place. Tinggal nk cuci umah je. Alhamdulillah. I think after my brother’s wedding in October (yes, 2 org anak mak aku kawen thn ni. wonder woman x?), I’m probably gonna give my parents a treat. A vacation maybe? :) Venue kt KL pulak mmg dh confirm la. The hall is inclusive of catering and what not. It has already been paid, fully. Yeay~. Gembira sbb a major portion of our budget is for the hall. So bila dh bayar tu rs lega sgt. Oh ya, we actually requested for additional flowers and scallops to be added for the dais. Only that has not been fully paid yet. The rest, beres. :D

Moving on, wedding favours. I’m handing out handmade chocolates (for adults) and cookies (for kids) in Penang. Payment for the chocolates including delivery charges) is settled. Hopefully those chocolates will arrive safely in Penang. *hi ayin* For the cookies, I will only need to pay upon delivery/pick-up. *hi ayin lagi* Oh and I still need to confirm the design of those cookies with Babycakes. Haven’t done that yet. Nnt la. Esok ke.

Yg reception in KL, cupcakes telah menjadi pilihan hati. Ini pun x byr abis lagi. Br deposit. Need to pay upon delivery/pick-up jgk. My Darling ttibe mcm nk tambah order lagi. Takut x cukup. Tp x firmly decide lagi whether to proceed with ordering the extras or not. Cukup ke 500 favours for 700 guests? I mean assuming the other 200 are kids. Ideas anyone?

Photographers for both ceremonies have been confirmed and their deposits have been paid. Interested to see their work, you can find their link at the right side of my page. Yg kat Penang is Neur Maya, yg kt KL Avicenna Studio. Fairuz (Avicenna) dh jumpe and discuss pape yg ptt dh. I have yet to meet up with Azam (Neur Maya). Sempat ke? Hmm. Malas nk pk. Tawakal lagiii.

Since it’s a package, we engaged the same videographer for both ceremonies. Senang cerita. We have met Rosli (CST Production) and viewed his sample videos, slide show and all. Very satisfied. Can’t wait to see the outcome of my wedding video! :D Link videographer pun ade kt sebelah kanan ye. Kalau berminat dan byk masa, just drop by and watch the uploaded videos. It’s really fun. Hehe.

About food, I don’t have to worry much about it since my Mom is taking care of everything with regards to it. Utk berinai, bertunang, menikah, bersanding sume2 la. Mak aku settle kn. For the reception in KL, it’s been taken care by D’Saji. It comes together with the package (hall, dais, catering) so we only need to choose the menu. And it’s been done. Tinggal nk makan aje. :p

One of the most important things to consider is who my bridesmaid would be. When my Mom asked, I told her I wanted Aritha to be my bridesmaid. Reason being, she’s married. Xde la makcik2 aku bising aku pilih anak dara kn. Derang ni byk pantang. Tp Aritha had to go and be a responsible wife in US. I had backups of course, iaitu Shasha atau Elmi. Mmg dlm kepala hotak aku ade 3 org ni je la. Since Shasha had just served as Aritha’s bridesmaid, I asked Elmi. Unfortunately, Elmi’s family (read : aunties) were not in favor. So, I had to ask Shasha hoping she’d say yes. And she did! :D I told my Mom I don’t have that many married gfs. So she said as long as Shasha’s parents are ok, she’s fine. Alhamdulillah. Skang ni aku eksaitet nk tunggu baju bridesmaid aku siap. Boleh? :p Aritha, ptt nye Shasha jd bridesmaid kau, kau jd bridesmaid aku and aku jd bridesmaid Shasha kn? Mcm bes je. Tu pun kalau Shasha sudi nk pilih aku la kn. Haha.

Anyway, aku rasa cukup la setakat ini aku membebel psl persediaan aku kn. Kang ade yg menanah mata baca panjang2. I will be updating about my hantaran, henna, hen nite (maybe) and all the other stuffs later2. I personally feel that this is way too long, but then again, aku pduli kah? *matila skali updet psl cerita 3-4 bln*

p/s : Pics uploaded are just to make the entry more alive. Nothing to do with what I’d be having at my wedding. Kalau nak tgk the real thing, come see for yourself. :)
