7 months until our wedding day!

until we officially be mr. and mrs. azam..

hehehe.. amacam? cun xgambar diatas? buruk, i know. of all 400++ pictures i cume berjaya edit 12 je. gosh.. sape kate kje edit senang. dh la cume jd 12 n xberape nk lawa plak tu. dh pagi baru i realized, apsal la i xedit sume in the same tone. ni ade yg merah la, ade yg kelabu la. 

hurm.. sebenarnye, i have to admit that the selected pictures adalah sgt limited. ini disebabkan cuzen i yg lebih cenderung ke arah stop motion video berbanding still picture. but anyway, stop motion sgt bagus. its like another option utk kite yg xmampu nk buat pre-wed video. roughly i've seen the storyline. sebagai pelakon i rase terharu. im glad i took masscomm mase study dulu. xsangka boleh dibanggakan idea i. hahaha.. i bangga dgn diri sendiri cz everytime i tgk the rough stop motion video i gelak sorg2. 

nway, baru la i tau betapa susahnye posing amik gambar ni. nasib jugak my cuzzie tu cenderung ke stop motion cz every single picture snapped adalah diambil tanpa kite tau. its like xde la org tu nk kire "1, 2, 3" n kite pun penat standby senyum. we just be in character or ourselves (in my case im a gf yg dibawa picnic oleh bf die, i love taking picture [lah sgt] n my bf surprise me)

sweet kan? biase la. i mmg sweet2 je. =P but azam? sweet? haih.. xaku yg stand by sume. but im glad he gives me his cooperation walaupun hakikatnye die sgt playful smpai rase nk smack down je. aksi2 smack down pun ade but i xtau cane nk edit. insyallah bile my cuzzie dh siap kan the stop motion video i'll share.

btw, i pun nk share about my props jgak. honestly bile i bgn pagi smlm im more excited on setting up the place rather than nk amik2 gambar.

these are some of my props.

believe it or not, sume bende diatas cost me less than rm20. yupp, thats including the cakes. hahaha.. the cakes, sgt instant ok. i dgn my another cuzen elya, kitorg main tipu. we actually didnt bake the cakes. we want to but i sgt malas. end up we drive to the shop beli butter, kek butter dlm plastic RM3.60 tu n cupcakes yg mcm jual kt org roti naik motor tu sepuluh, RM2.60. smpai rumah, buat icing, transfer cup cupcakes n deco! hehe.. sorry la, i main tipu. actually xla sweet sgt kan. tu pun i budget nk beli kek pisang but rupenye kek pisang lg mahal. =P

then i have the honey jars. tu adik i dpt dr kenduri sape tah. its so small yet very cute. how i wish it is bigger but xpela. so since mereka kcik so i used all of it. sume pun i ikat cap die guna tisu paper =P n another layer of tulle. tampal my date on it sticker n siap! the flowers beli kt seri muda pagi tu. setangkai RM1.20 n i just bought 2tangkai. pasu, pasu mak. =P books, mostly by sophie kinsella n marian keyes, my sister's favorite menjadikan buku2 itu juga hasil pinjaman tanpa izin i dgn my sister yg tgh berseronok2 di UK. the camera, nikon yg sgt classic. gune kodak tu. my adik beli tp xgune so i tolong gune kan. 

so, here are the rest of the photos yg i dh edit. more to come but mungkin lmbt. n mungkin jgak yg lain xakan dipublish. cukup2 la yg skrg ni. u guys in fact have seen it all now. 

conclusion : we enjoyed this session very much. thanks to imin, my cuzen as the photographer. it all went very smooth n full with laughter. i know that i can always believe in imin even tho die slalu ckp yg die xbrape terer. but hey cuzen, just check out those pictures! im so happy with the outcome. non of us are professional but im so satisfied. in fact i wish i can do more after this. =) credit juge kpd my cuzie cum besties, elya. she support me all the way. dari menyediaan props hingga ke hari shooting tu sendiri. sgt baik menyediakan tisu. owh, kalo xde elya pun i mati. adik2 yg sedia membantu. TQVM. korg jd budak suruhan angkat2 barang. sorry la gua marah2 korg. mau xmarah, korg gua angkut tp nk angkat barang skit. huhuhu..

so, thats it ladies. habis satu chapter. my DIY pre-wed photos. lepas ni kne stand by utk wedding photoshoot plak. yikes!

im such a good actor

hahaha.. tajuk.. mane xnye.. i menjiwai watak i utk my prewed photoshoot td sepenuh hati tau. all thanks tu cuzen imin, azam n supporters yg sudi memberi kerjasama. ye karenah saye ni mmg ala2 hindustan bak kate azam. but hey, cpt sumpah yg kau xsuke experience td! (kata fira kpd azam)

finally the photoshoot berlangsung secara aman damai kat taman section 10 shah alam. memule kitorg dh gi dh tasik section 4 but end up kate situ mcm ade group of student tgh melakukan sesi ape tah xtau. so, sgt la xprivasi. we end up ke tmn sec10 td. 

so dearies, memandangkan gambar i pun diamik oleh adik2 study uitm je lg n xkhatam pun lagi hal2 camera2 ni, so i pun xnk presure byk2 n just enjoy the shoot. edit pun i edit sendiri. but maybe more coming soon from cuzzie kut. =) mlm td pun i tdo lmbt utk siap kan props. seriously i nk share dgn u girls psl my props. psl my photos tu later2 la eh..

i think im gonna share my favorite photo first while i edit2 lg gambar yg lain. ni pun masih rehat2. kitorg gerak about 10am td. start about 11am n finish around 1pm. hehehe.. sepintas kilat kan. tu pun sbb kami xbyk idea. =(

so, enjoy this first ya.. there are more photos to come. hehehe.. sorry, i xreti main teaser2 but i do have a surprise. hihihi.. apekah?? nnt i bgtau eh..

entry on props are coming up next.. hope u enjoy ur weekend too!! 

HEART!

FRZM Official Soundtrack

found this beautiful song long time ago. sgt suke dgn the lyrics. it's really really really represent me n my feeling towards azam. honestly i mmg sgt xble bla dgn lagu indon but this one, sgt straight forward n cute too. n most important is, this song is me! enjoy!

Jika ada yang bilang ku lupa kau
Jangan kau dengar
Jika ada yang bilang ku tak setia
Jangan kau dengar

Banyak cinta yang datang mendekat
Ku menolak
Semua itu karena ku cinta kau

Jika ada yang bilang ku tak baik
Jangan kau dengar
Jika ada yang bilang ku berubah
Jangan kau dengar

Banyak cinta yang datang mendekat
Ku menolak
Semua itu karena ku cinta kau
Kau

Saat kau ingat aku ku ingat kau
Saat kau rindu aku juga rasa
Ku tahu kau slalu ingin denganku
Ku lakukan yang terbaik yang bisa ku lakukan
Tuhan yang tahu ku cinta kau

Jika kau tak percaya pada ku
Sakitnya aku
Jika kau lebih dengar mereka
Sedih hatiku
Banyak cinta yang datang mendekat
Ku menolak
Semua itu karena ku cinta kau
Kau

Saat kau ingat aku ku ingat kau
Saat kau rindu aku juga rasa
Ku tahu kau slalu ingin denganku
Kau tahu ku juga ingin denganmu
Ku tahu kau slalu ingin denganku
Ku lakukan yang terbaik yang bisa ku lakukan
Tuhan yang tahu ku cinta kau

pelamin : SETTLED

yay!! akhirye, pencarian yg dinanti2 telah berakhir. xsangka bende mcm ni bole settle scpt ni. kitorg actually ade abt 10months to go n alhamdulillah, hal WP dh pun kami selesaikan. xpe, avoid doing things disaat akhir. lgpun kalo dh jumpe mcm ni bole la lepas ni concentrate kt bnde lain plak. 

ok, mcm yg kite semua maklum, weekend ni ade pameran pengantin kat sacc. haih.. mentang2 la dpn batang idong, hari2 i gi pameran pengantin ni. smpai naik boring dh. but kalo ikut entry before this [link], by pameran pengantin yg kali ni, kitorg kalo bole nak settle kan hal WP. actually ade byk jgak choice yg menarik2. booth2 yg sgt tempting n with promotion price yg sgt competitive. 1st day i pegi, xhajat nk focus on anything lg sbb ingat nk start looking seriously mase pegi dgn azam. 2nd day lepas kje baru pgi lg dgn azam. before msk hall tu kitorg jumpe n lunch dulu dgn en. lukman, videographer merangkap cinematographer kami. later i post entry psl en. lukman ni. one by one ye.. on the 2nd nite tu baru la start berfikir masak2 mcmane nk settle hal WP ni. n td ptg lepas blk je dari kenduri abg iman tunang (my cuzen n will also blog about it later) me, azam n mak rush lg pgi sacc sbb nk confirm kan booking.

so, of all WP yg ade, ade la beberape yg sgt2 diminati. Nas Great Ideas, Arma tu toksah ckp la. mmg grande abis. tp duit pun harus la grande jgak kan. so, lupekan je la hasrat tu. however, tiga2 hari i pgi pameran pengatin ni, tiga2 hari i stop kt booth satu WP ni. reason : 1. mase first time tgk kje diorg mase i first join pameran pengantin last october, i dh terus suke gile dgn pelamin diorg. xcaye cube tgk entry ni [link]. 2. harga diorg pun sgt affordable. skali dgn pelamin 5panels, walkways, entrance arch, baju n make up. lps tu gune fresh flowers tau. haaa... mane la xbuat org pk 2-3 kali. 3. service diorg sgt ok. diorg sume friendly. tu yg buat kite rase selesa tu. walaupun baru nk bertanye2 even setiap pameran pengantin pun dh mesti singgah booth diorg n tanye soalan yg same.

sudahnye, confirm jgak kitorg dgn suri butik. deposit utk booking kitorg dh settle kan. tggl nk arrange another appointmet je dgn the owner which is kak su psl hal2 seterusnye. feel free to visit them on their FB [link]. sementara tu, tgk2 la dulu creations diorg yg i sgt sgt sgt sgt suke.. =)

CONGRATULATIONS TO US!!!

AND THERE'S ONLY

SINCE

ALL I CAN SAY IS THAT WE WERE BLESSED WITH EACH OTHER. REALLY GLAD TO BE YOUR GIRL SAYANG AZAM..

ITS GOOD TO KNOW THAT U ARE THE ONE I'LL SPEND THE REST OF MY LIFE WITH!

TO BE HONEST, IM FEELING HAPPY, FEELING SECURE, N FEELING PROUD TO HAVE YOU BY MY SIDE.

"LOVE"

WEEEE...!!!

hari happy!

yay! smlm n hari ni (so far) im in a happy mode. alhamdulillah everything yg kat office dh di settle sepantas kilatnya. then smlm, i chat dgn anis (a good friend) n we talk so much about my wedding. owh, sungguh terharu bile anis pun excited on the deco mcm saye. seriously, sume pun nk kan wedding yg cantik2 kan. kalo bole sefairy tale yg bole (sile jgn prejudice, fairy tale xtertumpu hanya pada candy color itu saje je ye. name pun fairy tale, so kalo fairy tale kau glam, glam la. kalo fairy tale kau dark, dark la) but ape pun, sume org msti ade fairy tale mereka sendiri. n of cz i had mine. bile berjalan melompat2 dari satu blog to another, jumpe deco2 yg sgt sweet n lovely, one thing i had in mind "how i wish i could have it on my wedding day". too bad my only limitation is on my budget. the things n such is too expensive utk budget saye yg ngam2 choi ni. imagine, at least 1k for only 30 centerpieces? wht about another 70? so, nk kne tambah duit la? *spank head*

ohh, lupe nk announce officially kan, utk wedding kami nnt, kenduri me n azam akan di combine! wohooo.. so, byk cost bole save di situ. bapak2 ibu2 sume ok. n i really stress this to them, that im on a budget. this is my wedding, so im gonna use my own budget. alhamdulillah, mereka mengerti. dlm perit ade rase bangga. alahai susah nya hampir sume dibahu saya. harus la saya berkerja lebih kuat lagi. deep down inside, i pray to God. tolong la permudahkan urusan hamba-Mu ini. insyallah.. *wahhh.. saya bermukaddimah!*

Reason 1

ok, sambung cerita happy.. so, as i chat with anis, kami berdiskusi mengenai  lokasi n dekorasi. btw, anis ni seorg interior designer yg bertauliah. sebelum ni, i did raise this issue to kaklin n cuzie elya. diorg must help me to do the diy thingy especially on the centerpieces. of cz, u cant expect me to be there early in the morning  to set up centerpieces. so, i need some hand. alhamdulillah, anis delighted to share me her expertise yg psti nya sgt creative tu. nak2 pulak our taste is almost the same. she can read my mind n i can read hers. wohoo!! xsabarnye nk berchat, bercerita n berdiskusi dgn lebih pjg lebar lg.

As i go further with anis, rase nye lebih byk lg yg possible. al maklum, kakitangan dh bertambah. kitorg borak2 pjg kut2 byk lagi bende lain yg made possible to diy hari tu kan. n actually yes! nnt nk discuss dgn die on the guest registration tables (cz nnt akan ade 2) , guest book, photo booth n anything yg possible. siap ade discuss cane nk buat mini pelamin sendiri lagi. haaa... jgn main2. so, tu ade la antara sebab musabab apasal la smlm happy gile. rupe2 nye sbb dh nmpk hope di situ. yay!!

So, angan2 nk buat mcm ni. i mean the table n the signage. tp xde la nk buat sebijik mcm ni cz of cz, i have my own personal theme.

centrepiece yg ala2 mcm ni

photo booth camni. comel kan??

Reason 2
Ptg smlm lepas blk keje, i terus ajak azam gi section 7. saje nk check check check it out hall. gatal la kate kan.. n nasib baik jgak azam tgh dlm nada stabil walaupun byk sgt halangan melanda. masuk2 entrance i dh mentioned to azam, "start dr sini kite dh bole start deco!" jawap nye, "lu ingat lu kawin dgn dato' ke?" owh.. tersentap jap dgr. alarm call tu.. suh jgn angan tinggi2 sgt. pijak dibumi yg nyata. mase kitorg gi tu xde sape2 pun. to be honest dat was my first time pegi tpt tu. sebelum ni tgk dari google je. tu pun ximpress langsung. tp, bile dh ade kt tpt tu sendiri, serta merta slogan sony terucap2 dikepala. yupp, this is made.believe. i can picture everythng yg dh di plan right in front of my eyes. cant wait to confirm my booking. so far, i've got the date. cume nk hantar surat n proceed with the deposit. alahai.. cpt la azam settle kan on ur side. dh xsanggup dikecewakan hanya kerna mslh hall lg. nway, by hook or by crook, ptg ni nk hntr gak surat tu. actually sume pun dh siap tp msti la dpt bersetujuan dr kedua2 belah pihak. my side, settled. azam's, if according tu plan hari tu bole je but respect la kan. double check on the pricing kut2 ade second thought.

So, spjg perjalanan pulang, me n azam tersengih2. cant believe we already there. its sooo close n pstu kitorg kawin. omg, dh nk masuk 7thn rupenye. rase mcm baru ari tu knal, gado nangis2 siap tumbuk2. tehehehe.. n skrg dh nk kawin. best3.. =P

Reason 3

mlm td secara xsengaja terimbau nostalgia lame ketika menonton cerita Putera tahun 1995. lakonan Joe dari kumpulan Wings n erma fatimah. fuhhh, Joe mase tu ade ciri2 lelaki pilihan kut. tehehe.. sbb kan cite tu i masih tersengih2 diwaktu pagi. weee... seronok nye!

my first moves!

bismillahirahmanirrahim..

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

alhamdulillah.. smpai gak kite kt 2011 ni kn. syukur la cz masing2 pjg umur n bole continue realizing our dream in making our w-day, the most special day ever.

last weekend as we all know, there's a bridal carvival happening in stadium melawati, shah alam. as i said, nooo way im not going. kan dh ckp, gaji bln ni harus la tidak dispend kan jika belum selepas 2hb. skrg ni dh 3hb pun. n thank god ade lagi duit berbaki. azam thn baru, jgn belanja yg tidak2. forget about mkn. this year, i need to slim, slim, slim!

memule ingat nk gegar karnival tu on the 2nd day. namun apakan daya, rombongan makcik2 ku ajak pegi shopping plak. haish, rosak plan. terbeli seluar kje plak tu. terbang RM50 (org kalo dh bajet, bnde mcm tu pun die kire. bt only mase tu la fikir mcm tu) try jgak ajak azam pgi lepas shopping tu, around 6pm. xdpt gak cz ade sbb2 yg tidak dpt dielakkan. mode 1/1/11 : hampa

so yesterday, awal2 aku dh kasi bunyi siren kjut kan sume org. kali ni xkire, mak, abah, adik2, kaklin skali dgn mimi2 diangkut ke stadium. azam, he's very understanding so die dh prepare awal2. mayb sbb xnk tgk tunang die ni hampa buat kesekian kali plak kut. yes!! taktik switch mode 1/1/11 berjaya. so, kitorg smpai sane dlm pkul 11am. kali ni serious ni, benti kat setiap (actually xdela setiap sgt) booth msti dgr ceramah. hahaha.. ade tu, ceramah (promoter) smpai dekat 20mins. xsmpai ati nk stop kn die walaupun hakikatnya kami xberminat. to my surprise, azam always there by my side. kalo jauh pun, xjauh sgt. all within talking distance.

memandangkan bwk satu family = 2kereta ke karnival tersebut, mmg harus la tugasan dibagi supaya xboring. mak abah kne tolong tgk2 kn catering. kaklin, jage mimi. adik2, tukang navigate all family members supaye xberpisah jauh. hehehe.. kemain. unlike, previous karnival, this time kami lebih serious n lebih keen utk decide. maklum la, dh ade date n we really need to "book" on something. dlm mind dh set, we need to grab anything yg mampu. cz of cz, 2011 price msti akan lain. n ramai gak vendors yg claim so. how far is true, tu wallahualam. mayb dats part of their marketing stratergies, pun bole jadi. bt bole jadi gak kan since thn ni gov tax naik 1%. kalo rase xrelated, bole try related2 kan jgak.

unlike my expectation, day 3 at karnival pengantin xramai org. xyah nk redah banjir manusia or wht so ever, everything went very smooth except parking yg terpaksa dikongsi dgn crowd pasar tani. ok, yg tu struggle skit but it wasnt so bad. compare to the previous one yg kat sacc, this one seems smaller. xtau nape die kate yg ni yg terbesar. in terms of vendors pun mcm sacc lg byk. tp, lantak la..

bende yg paling di look forward on this karnival are wedding planner n photographer/videographer. i must say, only few vendors captured my attention. my type, see it to believe it. so, ape2 hal pun bg gua tgk profile lu dulu. wedding planner, some of them mmg ok la artwork mereka. price, i rase normal. photographers, not me n azam's type of liking. except photolicious yg quite pricey. to us, we dont want the wedding to be all about us, us, n us.. nope, we dont want to flip that album 10, 20, 30 years later just to see us. of cz theres us but whts happening are important. we want to see our family, friend, relatives reaction. how they happy2 joy2. owh, we want moment & emotion!

so, kalo videography/cinematography itu murah, mmg la kami amik. pictures2, xperlukan investment yg besar. jnji ade. dats our point of view. sib baik me azam share the same tot. kalo xmati la sorg nk video sorg nk gmba! alhamdulillah, kami dipertemukan dgn booth lhmedia.tv n we spoke directly to the principle. artwork, ok. HD. kalo konon2 nk video mcm nadia sm nasimudding rasenye bole je request. tp xkn la nk same kn. in terms of quality, as good as that. deposit to block ur date rm100 only. yupp.. only! so, on 23rd december ni diorg mmg all ours. woot2! within 1month, we have to pay another 30% to confirm. 1month before wedding, another 30%. hurm.. ok la payment scheme mcm tu. xla berat sgt. so, we decided to hire them. yay!!

around 1pm, we all blk. kalo time ni cume tggl me, azam n mak abah cz siblings dh blk earlier cz mimi buat prangai. mase ni, we didnt make any payment yet sbb konon nk revise blk sume yg ade. memule rase cam nk book wedding planner skali. but pk2 blk, xperlu la rush sgt. lhmedia.tv mmg dh sgt2 melekat dihatiku. 

around 8pm, kitorg pgi lagi stadium. this time its just me n azam. siang2 dh withdraw duit. n  straight to lhmedia.tv as dat was our main reason to go there twice. discuss punye discuss, agreement have been made. instead of byr rm100, i bagi terus rm200. hehehe.. saje gatal.. n mlm tu, xbole tdo pk pasal video n asik ulang je video2 hasil kerja lhmedia.tv..

to view some of their artwarks, can always visit their website. but rasenye, the one yg kt website tu xbrape update. so, try check on their facebook.

so, dats my first moves. ni nk dpt kn contact no. halls n call satu2. ayuh..

save the date!

yay!! rasenye dh official la ni. bole announce dgn bangga dh.. so, dgn dimulakan dgn lafaz bismillahirahmanirrahin, ingin saye umum kan disini, date officialnya saye, norzafira bakal menjadi isteri mohd noor azam yang sah adalah pada 23 Disember 2011 (insyaallah) yay!! yay!! yay!!

alhamdulillah, mak n abah dh tau. diorg ok je. last thursday kt rmh azam pun dh bgtau jgak dkt family die. n today, since dh dkt rmh wan (my granny) skali la bgtau wan n my aunties. mcm yg dkt previous entry tu, i did mentioned yg once dh official je i will post out the list of what to do before the wedding day kn, so here we go!!

so, save the date for me ya!

23rd December 2011

1more year to go

ever since last sunday, i've been waiting and talking about this date (today) n azam, is my one n only countdown victim. i always say things like "kalo thn ni 2011, lagi bape hari je kite kawin" n smlm i said "kalo thn ni 2011, esok kite kawin" n this morning i called him n said "kalo thn ni 2011, hari ni kite kawin" mungkin dlm benak fikiran die terfikir, "ohh, dh jam tunang aku ni". sendiri pk pun mmg sendiri rase jam. but can u believe it? i cant. after this very day, no more kire pakai sukat tahun. there'll b only bulan n minggu n hari. gosh..

frankly to me, rase mcm sgt dh dekat. perasaan? OMG! bile dh smpai mcm ni baru la tetibe rase cm. dh2. stop. clock pls stop ticking. im not ready. selame ni google2, usha2 je.. konon saje cari inspiration. but since hanye tinggal satu tahun saje lg, google, google jgak. bende msti kne mau decide. jeng3.. smlm for the very first time, i jz got an email from The White Room Kuala Lumpur. saje ai gatal mintak quotation. pretty impress with their artworks. meletups2 tau.. n bile dh dpt, dgn segera ai call azam. tu namenye mintak consultation dari die dulu. well, mau nye idok? RM4400 untuk nikah + reception. gosh.. actually bole je kalo nk. tp, since kite xberak kuar duit (maaf bahase sedikit kasar) harus la dipertimbangkan baik buruknye. perlu ke? cantik sgt ke? ini yg terpaling murah ke? hurm.. jgn gelojoh. cube carik offer lain lagi kut2 ade yg lagi better.. so, harap bersabar.

n since skrg pun dh xberape lame je lg, rasenye the do's n dont's list dh bole la dipublish secare rasminye. walaupun belum buat lg, kesedaran utk mengadakannye dh ada. ok la tu. blk kje kang buat. jd, xsalah kirenye kalo kite dh boleh mule mengumpul2 dulu ape yg bole dikumpul, xgitu? so, mcm ni.. me n azam decided utk ade kn brg2 hantaran kami semacam waktu kitorg tunang2 dulu. mase tu kitorg beli hantaran sendiri utk diri sendiri. msti ramai yg mcm pelik. but its fun, really. pedulik la org nk kate budget ke ape ke but yes, mmg budget pun. segan la kalo nk mintak itu ini dgn si dia. kite pun, taste mesti la xmau kalah belake. kalo diserahkan bulat2 dkt si dia which dgn automatik die akan serahkan kepada mak dan kakak2 nye, ouh, xsanggup ambik risiko. takut ade brg yg xberkenan, xsedap la kalo ckp2 blkg. jd sudahnye, beli je sendiri2. abis cite.

jd kisahnye, saye dh terbekenan dgn satu jename ni. kononnye, kawin nnt nk serba serbi la pakai jename ni. alaa.. skali skala mak jd brand concious ape salah nye. motive jename ni dipilih pun sbb design nye yg cantik n funky (cz ai kn mude lg) n gile2 cam i jgak. kalo i ckp, kelas gitu. mak suke! hehe.. so, jename yg disebut2 tu senanye adalah...

fyi, saye suke, suke, sukeee sgt design die. takat nk beli buat basahan mungkin belum stable utk memuaskan desire itu. so, for once in a while n rasenye time cenggini la paling sesuai utk beli satu dan mulakan koleksi. mane la tau, berkat beli satu lenkali bole la plak beli sedozen dua (amin). of all the designs, my favorite is MBMJ Mirror Heart Collection. xtau la how latest design ni but seriously im in love with it. hurm.. kalo ckp azam ni sure die pertikaikan ke glossy-an nye. but wht to do. my taste wht. glossy2 but nice. pe salah nye. haaa.. tu kn, lebih baik kite beli utk diri sendiri cz sendiri beli, sendiri dpt, sendiri pakai.

so, setelah di browse2, terberkenan sgt dgn tote ni. (haaa.. kilat2 kn. name pun mirror heart collection) in terms of sizing mmg la mcm besau skit, but biau la. hehehe.. kn saye dh ckp. saye suke sgt! nk2 pulak last weekend me n azam jln2 kt the curve. kitorg singgah counter perfume n try hampir 20-30 jenis haruman yang ade. n some of my favorites are escada 'absolutely me' n marc jacobs 'daisy.'. tehehe.. ngam3.. tp akhirnye, kite tgk je la nnt. marc jacobs ke mak jenabs ke.. we shall see!!

at home vs. hall

yay! free at last! tehehe.. free utk blog satu dua entry je la. anyway, this time, saye terpanggil utk blog regarding venue wedding. well, skrg ni dh byk tpt dh offer venue yg mmg superb, classy n gorgeous. as a b2b, i totally understand other b2b as well. kalo bole nk sume nye cantik n grand (tpu la kalo ade kate yg xnk grand2. or mayb the definition of grand tu je yg lain) unlike zaman purba kala dulu. buat kt kampung n everything dibuat secara bergotong royong or dlm bahase jawe dipanggil sinoman (am not sure if the spelling is right), skrg ramai yg prefer catering. mayb ade few yg still maintain the tradition but with nowadays punye lifestyle, mcm dh xbrape practical lg care tu.

if dulu kt kampung2, tetamu bole dtg selambak2nye tanpa ade specific number of pax, n dari situ dapat diukur kemeriahan sesebuah majlis. kalo mane yg penuh dgn hilai ketawa, riang dan ria, meriah la tu kiranya. tp skrg dh xsame. kalo bole xmo ketawa yg adventure2 smpai bole pecah bumbung. nk guest focus on the bride n groom katenye. but still, xsyok la kalo xde gurau senda or sakat sukat dikalangan friends n families kn. well, terpulanglah. itu sume hak individu. plus, yg nk kawin nye kamu. special day pun special day kamu. so, suke ati kamu la.

so, back to the subject. at home vs. hall. actually cam nk post psl ni cz ari tu me n good friend terborak regarding this matter. she prefer to have it at home cz she said that the moment will then last forever. as to me, anywhere will do but if i got the chance mmg nk buat dekat hall je. any hall except dewan mbsa tanpa aircond tu ye. motif, cz xnk nnt org2 yg saye syg terlepet kepenatan. puas mmg puas as that what my mom want. tp setelah memerhatikan wedding my sister yg berjalan di rumah, omg, penatnye 7hari 7 mlm. walaupun sumenye kite hired org but still pnat. pnat tgk, pnat bau, pnat mkn, pnat senyum. hish, pnat la.

as for dekat hall plak, mmg la nnt ia akan jd much more organize as guest pun akan dtg at one specific time, mase utk focus on the pengantin pun ade. tp mcm sume nye akan jd limited except for the deco. yg mane budget byk tu bole la deco bagai nk rak. complete kn sume course (eh, mcm mkn plak) dari la arch, ke walk way, ke pelamin, ke center pieces, main table deco, slide show projector, sound.. awww.. sumenye lovely. tapi.. haaa.. jgn lupe tapi.. tapi ade gak limitation nye. cuzens xbole nk dtg bervan2. yg mane anak 10 tu kne la cabut undi lidi nk tgk sape bole ikut sape xbole ikut. same gak dgn kawan2. mmg la sume close friends n family xmungkin xkan dijemput. but kalo yg xclose tu pun bole dtg mesti akan lebih tererat silaturrahim. time constraint pun mslh jgak. al-maklum, bkn tpt kite. kalo tebal muke nk stay lebih dari waktu sewa sila la smbung gelak ketawa. as for me kalo ade rezeki buat kt dewan, xkn ai buat mlm. habis beribu2 jz utk dari kul 9pm sampai latest 11.30pm je. lain la buat tghari. sekurang2nye lepas tu bole smbung buat after party kt rumah. hehehe..

n ouh, tp lagi satu. jaman skrg ni, ade pulak satu lagi trend org kawin buat kt restaurants, bungalows, hutans pun ade, tepi tasiks, uish byk la.. sume nye dgn alasan nk men-special kan hari bahagia. uihh.. mmg la kalo bole nk buat kt tpt special2 kn. memory kut. antara tempat2 famous org buat venue are :

yes, tempat ni mmg dh semakin famous. ramai yg dh menanye kan quotation rental tpt ni. of cz, the serene sgt romantik walaupun u r actually in kl town. tp utk kl-ites bole la. to me its too far.

VILLAMAY Section 7, Shah Alam

Well, tempat ni xbrape nak famous. mayb because its still new, idk. its just a bungalow that converted into a spa n they can also held small weddings. to those who just love privacy, can have their special day here.

FRIM

Tempat ni even Maya karin pun buat wedding kt sini. OK for green lovers. its unique n awesome too!

Bora Ombak/Bora Asmara

Such a romantic restaurants. especially kalo buat mlm. with the right theme n concept, seriously u'll have a beautiful wedding here.

name pun kampung pengantin. i think org yg buat tpt ni mmg nk mendedicate kn tpt ni khas utk wedding. good effort. kalo ade yg kat2 shah alam i'll definitely try for it. but again, saye buakan kl-ites.

Galeri Shah Alam

Aww.. tpt ni mmg lovely. mcm fresh sgt bile tgk. ala2, mcm nk ber-rekreasi + jogging pun ade gak (typical org shah alam. ingat tasik, ingat jogging) tp sini xde aircond. kalo buat tghari tgk pade weather. kalo just nice, kipas tu pun dh cukup. hehehe.. angin2 tasik sedia bertiup. tp kalo time panas terik tu, aduhai.. nk bayangkan pun malas.

*can click on the place's name or logo for direct link to respective website *

so skrg ni, up to u la b2b, mane yg nk dipilih jadi venue hari bahagia nnt. honestly dua2 (eh tiga2) pun bagus. kalo ade duit lebih, buat kt dua2 tempat terus. as long as tidak menyumbang ke arah pembaziran sudah.

nway, if u girls ade idea kt tpt2 yg menarik, do share with me. i pun tgh survey2 tpt2 yg affordable n nice. or else, jln dpn umah aku la jd mangsa. tehehe..

hues n blues

hihihi.. happy sunday uols.. hihihi.. overjoyed sendiri since i am extremely bored at this moment. need to loosen up a lil bit. yeah! yeah! ke kiri dan ke kanan.. ok stop.

this entry i want to story morry a lil bit pasal our wedding theme color!! yay!! finally, ade jgak yg dh tercapai dek akal ku. sebelum ni mcm2 pk. especially regarding the preps yg i sendiri xtau from where to start. so since dh ade wane tema yg rasenye, "yes, ini final. sgt final. xmo tuka2 lagi", dh bole la start collecting stuffs. wehoo! i can feel the time passing by sbb hari tu dh final dgn date. skrg dh final dgn warna plak. mayb later final dgn concept, followed by photographers, venue, wedding packages, bla bla bla.. n, the day pun tibe. fewhh..

as u guys can see on the previous entry, i've posted some hues that i want for my wedding. kalo tgk kt situ gambar mentah2, xde pun tulis2. actually time tu cume nk kasi kaklin tgk je. since she cant get through the web address, i've to make an alternative for her so that she can access. so, yupp.. those are the hues im thinking of. its started when me n azam start to discussed about it otw dari drive-thru McD. to start the conversation, i purposely suggest warne2 yg macho2, kut2 die suke. well, tunang i kan lelaki sejati lg tulin. mesti la start suggest dgn warne keras2. mcm2 la i sebut. silver, brown, dark green, blue. black? no way.. xmungkin ade warne gelap tu dihari bahagia ku. to tell u honestly, i have no favorite color. anything nice will do. all i know is that i like it simple n... nice. hehe.. so, borak punye borak. ckp punye ckp. suddenly azam ckp, "y dont kite gune wane sampin yg u (i la tu) pnah bg kt i (azam la tu) ari tu". i was like, oh! that seriously is nice. that sampin was actually bought by su. konon to b given as hantaran tunang kitorang ari tu. but last2, xgune pun. so, i pun bg je la kt azam. sampin tu wane gold, light blue n pink.

so i google through the internet to find sources yg dh blend warne tu for me to use it as reference. found this cool blog from texas which already help b2b like me to choose colors. there are various type of colors to go with you n your partner personality. i dont really found the one that i want. u can mix it up (by using ur imagination) to see what kind of color hues that i'd like to use for my wedding day.

these blue n gold are totally, totally the colors that im talking about. only the pink is missing. so have to use another hues below so maybe u guys can get what im trying to say here. hurm.. i hope bole. just ignore the green n the creme, try to move the pink to the picture above n poof! u'll see it exactly like how i see it. tehehe..

 

so bile dh blend2 :

this is the nearest hues i managed to found from the internet. the combination is just nice except for the blue, its too pale.

anyone yg maybe dh nk start to dream of warna-warna tema pilihan anda dihari bahagia, bole pilih2 kat dua source ni cz this is where i found mine.

Love Story

23.11.2004 - 23.11.frvr

Officially, we have been together for 6 years now (seronoknye tgk daisypath!). i mentioned it to azam but he doesnt seems excited at first.  i truly understand that. we've been through alot of ups n downs, ons n offs smpai xperasan when were we actually start to seriously want to take it this far. but still i remind him, this is the date we first want to start having relationship with each other. this is the date where he first fetched me from home with his silver Perdana (which skrg dh jd hitam). this is the date kitorg first time declare to be each other's boyfriend girlfriend n this is the date where everything about fira n azam start n begin. it all happened so fast i even can still remember every single things like it all just happened yesterday.

All thanks to mamak, my ex a.k.a his friend a.k.a his neighbor, the one that responsible to matchmade us. huhuhu.. i remember it was on bulan puasa n suddenly i kept receiving this funny call from a public phone. sikit2 putus. sikit2 putus. until my ex call n said, once i answer the next call, no matter what happen, dont hang up. so, i did. smpai la dgr suara azam. seriously its beyond my crazy mind that he would want to call me. i sgt annoyed dgn die dulu ok. dtg lepak maisha naik kembara pasang lagu kuat2, baju fubu bagak besar, rambut berkarat, rantai berpendant mcm fifty cent. owh.. puhlease.. i plak time tu lepak dgn boyfie  yg  bijak pandai. tp xla sepandai nk segak bergaya (my ass) mcm die (mase tu). skuter v100 je. with his friends n mine yg sgt low profile. 

So, we chitty chatty la spjg mlm tu. kn bln puasa, so smbil borak ade la dgr dentuman mercun roket, thunder clap, mercun padi, mercun ketupat, bola dan sbgnya. yupp, the oldies were true. xknal maka xcinta. but i didnt say that i fall in love with him sejurus terime phone call pertama. agree to go out with him pun cz he drive a car.. hehe.. mase tu agak jahil. al maklum baru habis pmr. ade boyfie yg bwk kereta consider as a big hit. hahaha.. so, we went out. he took me to a place yg sgt privacy until he make me fall in love with him. "janji jgn tggl kan kite", owh.. numb kejap dgr die ckp mcm tu. seriously, belum pernah org bercinta monyet selame ni yg pernah ckp mcm tu. so, itu la cerita how we start. alhamdulillah it last until now. despite all that bad things happened to us. all the shout n yell, we are both grateful sbb we manage to pull out all the egos n smpai la sekarang.. wee..

*us back then. mcm2 pesen*

*******************************

smlm, tanpa dirancang we went out for dinner. seriuos xplan. i just ckp yg i want to make him cupcakes. tp die plak yg ajak kite gi dinner. hihihi.. ade gak sense of romance kt bakal laki aku ni. yay!! so, sementare die yg ajak, dgn harus dan pantas la aku on n set. google kt internet kt mane tpt mkn best. cz the msg yg die nk we both mkn kt tpt yg fine, cosy n fancy restaurant tu di transmit ke otak dgn sgt jelas. mcm2 restaurant jumpe (kt internet la) tp xtau nk gi mane.

prefer somewhere near cz the time constraint. blk rmh, kaklin suggest to try concorde. bkn xnk. almost there pun but tetibe azam ingat membe die pnah cite yg situ mkn tpt kotor. ouch.. so die pun kate, "ari tu tringin nk gi chilis. kite gi chilis je la." hurm.. nk xnk tepakse akur. the nearest, empire gallery subang. tapiii... smpai kt sane, since saye xnk senanye gi mkn kt chilis sbb hey! ini anniversary la! saye pun dgn sengaje terstop kt dpn ole2 bali. hihihi.. nk mkn sini? i asked him. he said "u nk mkn ape sini?" well, tgk je la kt menu kn? so, we went in n chill ourselves at one of the table. yay..

first impression mkn kt situ sgt teruja. cantik. cosy.. romantic? very.. ade candle light lg. perfect la kn utk kami yg sedang melamun cinta spjg 6thn ni. borak2, i told him, "patut i nk melamar u mlm ni. tp xde cincin. all at sudden sgt" hehehe.. die pun cm phm "cheh, so nk i lamar u mlm ni la ni" hehehe.. ape la aku ni. but we finally reach the verdict. as my plan nk our wedding to be on next yrs 23rd of december. die pun agree. rupe2nye date tu mencomplete kn sequence cinta kami. well, first met on 23rd november. married on 23rd december. engaged on 23rd january. three 23rd in a row. cool la kn? nnt kumpul2 lg kut2 ade yg lain. hehehe.. so, jz to share with readers (if any) below are the pictures of us last nite. sgt happy kayh..

"And when the rain begins to fall,
You ride my rainbow in the sky,
And I will catch you if you fall,
You never have to ask me why,
And when the rain begins to fall,
I'll be the sunshine in your life,
You know that we could have it all,
And everything will be alright.."
