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!!

0700 Hour - 20/05/2011

pagi ni i bgn awal sgt. 7am tu kire awal bg i.. *haih, psni nk kne training bgn subuh* maybe sbb knowing that i want to have enough time main dgn mimi, mata n body automatic bgn sndiri. lps mndi je i terus pggl mimi main kt bilik i. alahai, kalo dgr die jerit memang annoying sgt. mcm nk cili2 je mulut die. but, xkan tegarnye makcik mithali nk cili mulut princess die kan. 

mimi, kaklin n abg faiz will fly to uk pkul 3pm ni. obviously i xdpt nk hntr diorg gi airport. mujur jgak aku xhntr, kalo xmau banjir pulak klia tu. i doakan diorg selamat pergi n selamat blk. hopefully they enjoy their trip n have a wonderful journey. katenye akan ke belgium jgak. well, have fun all of u!

last pic with mimi.. bye2 syg, see u in 2weeks.. =(

0745 Hour - 20/05/2011

nway, besides having my final hours with mimi this morning, i sempat online tgk video tg. zawyah kawin hari tu. kebetulan OV mereka same dgn OV i. congratz en. Lukman, your profile is getting better now. alhamdulillah, im happy for u n proud of u too.. =)

again, i xtau mcmane nk share but u guys can check it out [here] *kalo nk ajar saya mcmane nk upload pun ok.. =) *. i somehow found that the couple is sooo sweet despite their ages. pendek kate mmg ngam sgt. sambil tu sempat lg pk how lucky their sons are. dpt mak tiri siti nurhaliza. bapak tiri, org kaya sabah. just hope that they are also happy with them too. insyallah..

2115-0005 Hours - 19/05/2011-20/05/2011

blk kje smlm azam fetched me n kitorg straight pgi dating kat al-rafi sec13. azam had his nasi beriani n i only had my roti boom. mkn skit je.. the rest azam yg habis kan. kinda distracted with the movie x-men they were playing on the tv. lepas habis mkn i ajak azam gi carik brg kt kdai stationery near by our house. n guess what ya'll, i dh start DIY-ing my preweds props!

actually i buat yg simple2 je. something yg mungkin bole pakai lagi mase our big day nnt. so basically, im pretty ready with the preweds weekend ni. insyallah, kalo xde ape2 halangan. =)

nota sains : 5tars (Nik Erwan Roseli, Hatta Dolmat, Rizman Ruzaini, Zery Zamry n Hazwani Othman) will be having their Raya Fashion Show on this 26th May @ KL Tower. Im sure its gonna be a blast! they are inviting all of us to preview their collections. how i wish i bole pgi to give support to my dear designer. nway, nk merasa gak baju raya designer kan (cite mcm la poket kau xtetas lagi) but nway, u might not know. tgk la mcm baju nikah i.. bongkak xnk bertanye smpai konon ingat la mahal beriban mintak service designer2 ni. rupenya xpun. so, my bad disitu. mujur dapat hidayah dan petunjuk. hihi.. however event ni will be happening at 2.30pm n on thursday. kalo la convec ni bapak aku punye, confirm aku gi wehh.. tp malangnya tidak. xpela, all the best to them. to those yg xde buat ape tu, dipersilakan pergi.. for more info, can check out their [fb] =)

of bunga dulang hantaran - fresh flowers vs. artificial flowers

haaa... akhirnya jumpa jgak topic for me to blog about. haih.. gile sangap hari ni kat office. nk kate xde kje not really. pagi2 td dh warm up kje dgn mengomen blog2 kawan2. pang pung pang pung, type punye type rupenye dh hampir siap pun kerja utk hari ni. name pun melayu.. die kalo yg ujung2 tu msti die hold dulu. mcm yg i buat skrg. =P *sebenarnye i je kut yg mcm tu. mandai je blame melayu. sorry! *

hahaha.. jauh plak membebel. so, hari ni i just nk share something about my bunga for dulang hantaran. as we can see on my timeline, by june dh kne start collecting stuffs. fyi, i xde nye nk hire org buatkan utk i. semuanya sendirian berhad. nk kate berseni tu, oh.. tidak. but minat tu maybe yes.. biase la, fira kan mengade2. kalo bkn sbb brg hantaran utk dikerjakan, mungkin i akan botak sebab dh xtau ape lg nk dibuat nk menyampaikan ke bulan 12 nnt.

mcm mase tunang hari tu, i dgn mak la yg gigih mendeco. mak mmg terer bab2 gubahan. tah cemane die pintal tetibe jadi bunge plak riben tu. mujur menurun jgak ilmu tu kt anak second die ni. mcm tau2 je kite on budget. tah mane tah gamba2 hantaran tu. nnt i free i belek2 la kat rumah tu mane i simpan all the pics.

to be honest, i xde any specific theme lagi untuk my dulang hantaran. yela, setengah org buat butterflies la, birds la, cages la, ular la, reban la.. hahaha.. but i prefer something simpler. n nway, i dh lame aim lavender. tp blom nk jumpe lagi la org buat hantaran guna lavender. hurm.. owh, ckp pasal bunga.. i senanye prefer lagi bunga mati (artificial). kalo gune bunga hidup nnt mati sayang la *padahal ckp je la kalo guna bunga hidup 1week before nikah baru bole kerjakan. me, sabar? bak langit dgn bumi*

xdinafikan bunga hidup mmg akan membuat dulang hantaran tu menjadi tersngat la lawa. it has its own aura yg membuat semua org terpaku melihat nye. but i believe kalo yg buat tu arma atau kerjakahwin la. kalo fira yg buat masih blom tentu. nway, just look at this beautiful works by kerjakahwin

yg ni plak hantaran fresh flowers by arma

ok2, mmg cantik tiada tandingan. tu la impak kalo hantaran gune fresh flowers. lg2 kalo yg meriah2 tu. setakat yg sekuntum dua tu belum pasti la impak ximpak nye. but nway, back to me yg confirm xakan gune fresh flowers, confirm xterdaya nk upah kerjakahwin mahupun arma utk buat dulang2 hantaran i. maka artificial flowers je yg akan membantu menjadi penyelamat hiasan dulang hantaran i nnt.

haah, mmg aritificial flowers murah, xde seri, monyok je rupe. xgrand pun. tp jgn putus asa.. usaha tangga kejayaan. insyallah kalo kne pada gaye gune artificial pun bole menyerlah. org kan semakin maju. teknologi pun dh semakin moden. kalo rajin usaha msti bole jumpe artificial flower yg nmpk real mcm fresh flowers. =)

just check out the images yg i jumpe kt google ni. lawa je.. gune artificial flowers jgak. convincing je.. xde pun nk jelir2 lidah kate buruk. pokok nya, tgk jugak siapa yg buat and siapa yg tengok. *bole jadi cantik kat mate i tp xcantik kat mata u all. cantik tu subjektif remember?*

by weddings by sher

by annie craft

by jemari kreatif

jeez... btol2 inspiring gambar2 di atas. especially the last one by jemari kreatif tu. mcm xcaye je tu buat gune artificial flowers. but according tu empunye/tukang buatnye sendiri, it is artificial flowers. hurm.. kalo la i bole buat mcm tu. blk office ni mmg for sure nk tunjuk kat mak. 

selain bunga, dulang or alas dulang pun main peranan jgak. so, dulang n alas dulang mcmane kah yg i suke..? nnt la i share kemudian. nk siap kan kje! thanks for reading. i love u all! =P

ps. wedding i nnt mesti confirm meriah cz i have a wonderful family to lite it up for me. it'll be grand in my own way. i dont need anyone to judge how grand my wedding is. its my day, not theirs.. L

checklist : april

today is the last day of april. checklist i masih xcomplete. sebab, ade bnde yg diluar bidang kuasa i n keterbatasan dari segi financial. as u all know, part baju nikah yg i patut hantar ke tailor/designer bulan dpn dh di-advance kan ke bulan ni. patut this month beli kain gune allocation frm my FMIL. sebab, saje ngade2 gatal xreti nk sabo, i dh booked the designer to make it for me. mode : happy!!

nway, there are nothing much in my checklist selain kerja2 meng-check2 it out. as this month im gonna be totally broke for my sis' trip to UK *kakak aku yg gi aku yg broke. camne?*, so check2 it out adalah sesuatu yg paling menjimatkan cost. hehehe.. actually, i kirim few things from my sister. n its our brg hantaran. of cz its not going to be anything fancy like marc jacobs or DVF or even alexander mcqueen, but yeah.. its something from UK. just thinking of having something special n different. thats all.

jd begini ye kawan2,

confirm MUA for nikah - DONE

actually on march. yg namanya neng fira dasar mmg ngak bisa sabarr. 

shop for kain nikah - consider DONE

last monday. the designer will buy the material skali. 60% of the fees paid so he must be working on it now.

confirm caterer - in process

well, this is something beyond my control. have gave mak abah azam full right to choose. yet xde khabar berita lg. hopefully they'll get it at least by next month.

confirm invitation card's design - in process

there are few designs i really like. thank god azam pun dh mule to agree with me. but one thing for sure, its going to be a one piece card with no folded2. 

scout tailor/designer for nikah - DONE

of cz this is done. i cant stop talking about it dont u see. *grins*

scout khemah for function @home - in process

forget about the transparent canopy. im not that rich to simply throw money on things with similar function with anything cheaper *chewah, cite mcm aku terer tahan nafsu je* hakikatnye, i mmg xde budget utk tu. perhaps one canopy with underlayer will be good enough. scout? rase mak abah dh ade regular canopy provider kut sbb bile kenduri je asik gune abg canopy yg same je.

so kwn2, out of 6 items on my list cume 3 je yg dh settle. yg lain still pending. sobs.. this month i would have to consider myself as FAILED!

yg invitation card tu i mmg tgh nk clear kan cepat2. yes, aku ade 7 bulan lg dh beriye pasal invitation card. well, kalo bukan sebab 7 bulan mane nk jd 6 bulan atau 5 bulan atau 4 bulan. lgpun budget i utk invitation card cume yg murah2 saje. kalo bende nye dh ade cpt should there be any DIY touch up needed, i can just work it out. mintak mahap, pandangan i mmg sentiasa maju kehadapan. 

so, thats it on my checklist update for the month of April. again i repeat, bulan ni i FAILED!! isk isk.. *teresak2* harap bole bawak bersabar n tidak terjadi lagi dibulan hadapan. as weekend kali ni pun agak panjang, i xde plan byk sgt just nk try kerjakan DIY tutu skirt for my lil princesses.

ckp psl princesses, congrats to kate middleton. nope, u're not a lucky girl. i dont see any luck u have. what? marrying william? yes, he could be one hell of prince charming but i dont wanna marry him. u can take him. but being an in-law to the world most influential royal family is something not many will get the chance. so u're just one in a million. pandai2 la kau nk idop ye..

to kate and william, congrats on your wedding!

to the guests of honor, what a hideous hat u put on ur head. jeez, i maybe ordinary but ur hat?! where's your sense of style. stylist uols mogok ke??

just look at them. dh mcm gi wedding lady gaga dah. especially those princesses of york.

ok, thats all i got to say about this whole royal wedding thingy. im excited at first but tgk kate pakai baju ala2 grace kelly je, hurm.. nothing surprising. charles' n diana's wow-ed me even more. but except for the hats, that catches my attention all the time. i just couldnt hate it less..

asik cite baju je. cite kad la plak..

hehehe.. tulis tajuk je dh excited. lalalala.. well, td dh mati kutu dh pk nk tulis ape kt blog ni. rase lame gile xtulis. so highlight je la activity minggu ni. but, lepas bosan2 nk shift satu kje ke satu kje yg lain tetibe tertgk la plak checklist utk bulan ni. katenye kne confirm caterer yg masih... (bunyik cengkerik) n confirm design for invitation card. well, msti ade yg curious. vendor pilihan pun blom ade dh nk confirm design. well, my sister n B.I.L kje kt publishing and printing company. before this pun mmg diorg print things like their nikah invitations n paper bag akikah bermuke mimi dgn company ni sendiri. bole dpt murah katenye. so, y not i utilize kemudahan ni n cobe print kt situ jgak?

well, kalo btol cheap ok la. ni pun senanye xdiscuss dgn diorg lg. but pk2 blk byk bnde jgak i akan miss nnt. kalo i buat kt org i mungkin dpt kad ber-riben? or, envelope ber-hot stamp? which kalo i ngade print sendiri maknenye i kne ikat riben sendiri which thats gonna cost ribbons n effort. envelope, i xpsti. but budget tetap budget. yg mane murah akan diconsider dahulu. i saw few vendors yg bole print card yg i suke with price within my budget. but xtau la.. we'll see nnt. so, these are the kinda  cards i like very much. 

**criteria : simple, sweet/cute, with no ayat memuji2 ilahi (cz at the end of the day ppl will definitely throw it away) n sweet/cute. hehehe.. saje mention twice cz i really like it sweet/cute. CUTE msti ade ye. msti ade!

skrg ni one piece ke, double fold ke, trifold ke i dh xkisah. yg penting cantik dimate n menjimat kan. ye la, bnde ni pun bg kt org n org xkan la pulak nk frame kan. jd cukup la sekadar bersedeharna. kalo nk diy kne pgi pk abis pusing. bnde awak tu kje. kalo takat nk blk kje buat bnde yg pstu org buang, lupe kan saje. buat habis tenage (n im writing this with usop whilcha nye tone bermain dikepala)

maybe u girls would like to suggest which one sweeter n cuter. i'd like to see from ur point of view jgak. *wink*

guests wishes idea

yellop! today, i just nk share some findings yg i jumpe xlain dan xbukan dr search engine yg sgt baik n ramah, google.

now, ape yg slalu kite nmpk when it comes to guests' wishes area? wish tree? guest book? wish bowl? wish flags? tell u what.. pusing2 mane pun idea nye die jadi mcm tu gak. its all up to ur creativity n how meaningful u want it to be. some people may like it on the guest book cz sometimes kalo ade extra polaroid camera bole terus tepek gambar kat situ. wish tree, it require the guest to put some effort on making the tree pretty. wish flag, of cz guest will have to complete it sampai penuh. 

senanye cite pjg2 ni sbb nk kongsi lagi satu idea. i ni senanye peminat super setia desperate housewives. u know bree? housewife yg plg terer masak n gile neat? u guys prasan mane die letak all her recipes? well, tu yg i nk share. the recipe box look something like this :

get the idea? i rase i nk try gune idea ni. simple je. lepas abis bole terus tutup n simpan smpai bile2. xpayah nk petik2 dr pokok or susun blk dari mangkuk. 

ok. dh excited. tgk je la bile i mule working on this. i'll definitely cat2, lukis2 n tampal2 the box with pretty things. silap2 ade gak org bertukang apply kemahiran hidup blk kt mende ni nnt. =P

till next time! happy weekend!

mood : dress nikah..

hari ni, entry ni, izinkan i menggedik skit (padahal rasenye slalu pun gedik). refer to the subject above, i still cant get over my nikah dress. pape pun sib baik jgak i tgh mad about nikah dress since rasenye dh xde ape nk dimadkan lagi utk bln april ni. according to my monthly timeline, by april kne settlekan dua bnde je. yg lain tugas2 menyurvey and mengescout bahan2 mahupun calon2 utk merealisasikan majlis perkahwinan impian i (chewah).

so, azam has do the talking. xtau nape die sendiri nk ckp dgn mak die on the kain part. but nvm, let him be. according to him mak die mungkin nk tukar warne. aiyark.. musnah sudah harapan nk berangan baju warne peach ala2 siti sarah. but xpela.. as long as bukan warna pelangi, i dont mind. on the color of our baju mmg i'd like to give this honor to his mom to choose. lgpun pening la pk byk2 pasal bnde2 ni. pening kat material je dh xtertanggung. 

overall, katenye mak die agree to buy me kain by april. kalo ikutkan sale jakel its until 5th may. euro moda rase ade sale jgak up to 80% but xtau smpai bile. mintak2 la blom abis lagi. dgn kadar segera i nk gi check mase lunch hour nnt. cant wait! or kalo ade sape2 tau share la. the sooner i know, the better. =P

pk punye pk rasenye melepas la nk buat baju ala2 jovian mandagie tu. xsanggup nk spend duit sampai seribu on the material. blom tailor lg. but alhamdulillah i ni masih beragak orgnye. untung lah sape yg mampu tu kan. i sedar i ni bkn org ada2 so taste tu jgn la nk mengada sgt (curhat).

i dh mule nk suke beaded chiffon. berangan nk buat design mcm tu, desigm mcm ni. tp xjumpe lg design yg btol2 melekat dihati. but yeah, perhaps i'll just go with the chiffon. its safer dont u think. berazam nk do the beading or what ever it takes supaya nmpk lebih berseri sendiri. n yg kite sume maklum, bunga chiffon yg dipatch kat baju tu sgt in skrg kan. yupp, yg mcm marion, siti sarah n elyana punye baju tu. 

source : google je

xtau nape i rase mcm bunge2 tu do-able sgt. well apsal plak xkan. kalo xdo-able abis sape plak yg tepek kan kat baju 3celebs diatas. masakan robot. hehehe.. jd sbg b2b tegar, i cepat2 google step2 nk buat bunge tu. yg i jumpe, ade 2cara. up to u nk bunga mcmane.

cara pertama

bahan2 nya..

n tadaaa..

i pun xtry lg but will definite share this with u kalo i dh try nnt. so, if u girls interested, feel free to check on its tutorial [here]

cara kedua

u need chiffon, gunting, hot glue, peniti n anything round untuk jadi acuan (acuan?)

n it'll turn out like this! cantik kan.. imagine kalo gune ur color. *drool*

this one seems easier, to me la. xpayah jahit2 but tampal2 je. can check on its tutorial [here]. 

ok, keinginan semakin membara. gotta focus on work now n lunch nnt nk gi jln euro moda. ttyl darls. ttyl.. =)
