hello june!!

pejam celik pejam celik, dh june rupenye kite ni kan. laju btol mase berjalan. to all june's brides, amacam? nervous x? nervous x? msti excited kan? hihihi.. kalo i pun excited jgak kut. atau lebih teruk mungkin dh xmau pgi kje langsung.. hehehe.. ngade2. mcm la awak sorg je yg nk kawin. 

i actually sgt look forward utk june since i sgt2 tension di bulan may. hopefully bala di bulan may cumalah kebetulan dan bukanlah suratan. hahaha.. kalo ikut plan asal, pada bulan june ni btol la tinggal 6bulan je lagi until our wedding day. insyaallah, the date will remain unchanged. tolong la doakan saya ye.. smlm smpat jugak i tanye azam, "u nk kite kawin cepat ke lambat?" to my surprise mamat tu jawab die nk kawin pada date yg slame ni kita plan. halamak, sentimental jgak rupenye abg bouncer aku tu. kut la i expect die jawab "awal" cz dh gatal sgt or "xkisah" cz mamat tu kadang2 hati kering jgak. 

lega bile the majority xde mslh dgn date tu. however, kalo bole xnk la ade yg senget benget plak kan dgn date tu. insyaallah, semoga allah tunjuk kan nur n hidayahnye. *type smbil muke glowing* memandangkan hari2 i dibulan may sume nye pudar2 n even sometimes gelap gelita, maka checklist i dibulan tersebut pun agak kesepian sedikit. mujur la semua pun cume kerja2 mencarik2 dan men-survey2 so semua pun bole dibuat hanya dihujung jari sahaja.

• confirm tailor/designer for nikah out

absolutely done. in fact dari bulan lepas pun. actually yg ni cm pelik skit. skit susah nk dicontrol. i've paid about 70% of the amount walaupun baju tu masih jauh lagi nk siap. i dont know if its really necessary for me to pay even the designer did mentioned that its suppose to be 50/50 and that another 50% is to be paid once baju dh siap. but anyway, i dont want to argue much on this. he have his reason on this jgak. i tgk kt blog die pun mmg baju2 latest die sgt2 comel n sweet. ckp byk pun xgune. at the end of the day mmg kne bayar full. lgpun die mmg xmahal pun. mungkin ape yg die collect tu is the cost. my philosophy, everything will turn out good n beautiful if u're happy. hehehe.. ni la cara i nk sedap kan hati. 

• scout khemah for function @home

this one i scout2 gitu je. the rest i'll leave it to mak. maybe i nk amik skali dgn caterer. btw, caterer i dh jumpe the best candidate. PR pun bagus. rasa, blom try lg. location, shah alam (weehoo!). harga, reasonable n die pun bole buat hall deco! if only caterer ni di approve oleh para2 ibu bapa then everythng should be all ok. n owh, kalo ok jgak i nk mintak die buat kt rumah jgak la for the nikah. =)

• scout honeymoon destination

done! rase mcm dh jumpe je destinasi pilihan. yet there are no action taken. well, biase la. baru survey kan. nk decide kne tggu good offer. shite, i missed AA offer hari tu. isk...

• scout dulang hantaran

on going. so far blom jumpe lagi yg btol2 berkenan dihati. insyaallah sabtu ni nk smbung pencarian n mungkin beli terus. who knows!?

• scout doorgift

on going jgak. dh jumpe potential supplier yg ada aneka barang2 comel kcik2 buat bg kat org ni. tp xdecide lg ape nk bg. telur sudah pasti. n officially me n azam has decided yg doorgift kitorg akan bagi separately. so, xpayah la nk sedondon sgt. =)

btw, saje nk share experience mase gi promosi kerja kahwin kat pusat kraftangan hari tu. as i mentioned, pgi sane pun nk carik caterer kan. so ade la 7-8 caterer yg kitorg jumpe. dlm 7-8caterer tu mcm2 jenis i jumpe dgn PR masing2. ada yg over confident, ade yg ok2, ade yg mcm nk xnk layan. but of cz sakit hati dgn yg mcm xsuke nk senyum, malas2 nk bgn amik flyers, tunjuk flyers tu pun ikut mate die. i mean, die nk tunjuk kt i so rotate la kasi i bole bace. ni die yg bole bace nk buat ape! mcm2 ragam kan. so far yg i berkenan sgt ni PR die ok. tu pun kitorg communicate through emails je. insyallah kalo everything ok n has been approved, nk kne jumpe n discuss btol2.

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..

wedding preps #5 - finally, the BAJU's!!!!

mari memangkah!!!!!

bukan pangkah undi ye. tp pangkah checklist. xexcited? menipu besau namenye tu.. so, dgn lafaz bismillahirrahmanirrahim,

bride's dress

grooms' baju melayu

for nikah dh settle!!

kalo nk tau, pjg sgt cerita die sebenarnye. remember my last post i ckp nk gi jumpe designer ni on saturday? guess what? it did not happen as planned. serious berdarah hati ni cz terpakse cancel kan appointment tu semata2 sbb meeting kat opis yg endless tu. mase msg designer tu mmg dh redha dh. die msti fed up ni dgn aku. msti die ingat aku ni main2. alaa.. mcm back out buyer kt online shopping tu.

tu baru dgn designer. blom kire malu dgn FMIL n FSIL's yg dh bersiap2 nk gi pkul 3pm tu. gile malu tau.. i kut yg plan konon2 nk gi sekian2 tp last2 i yg xshow up. sobs..

but anyway, yg sudah tu sudah la. biarkan la ia berlalu kerana setiap yg berlaku tu ade hikmah ye. chewah.. nasib baik la designer tu reply msg i ari tu. kalo xmau i putus harapan. so we rearranged the meeting to 6pm today. yupp.. today (as to date 25th april 2011). i pun dgn xbersalah langsung keluar office about 5.45pm. tu pun smpai rumah designer tu about 6.30pm. mcm la office i dgn rumah die jauh sgt. tp sbb nk isi minyak la.. traffic light yg pjg n sgt lame la.. carik rumah die la.. tu yg jd lame tu.

btw, i gi dgn azam. kami disambut dgn sgt warm skali. we started talking n the session begin.describe punye describe, langsung i tunjuk kan blog i terus utk bgtau die whats my inspiration in [this entry]. scroll punye scroll, langsung jgak die suke design one of my pilihan which is yg ni,

i tgk tgn die laju je die sketch. memule tu tebangang jgak i ape bnde die nk buat ni. even sketch die dh siap pun i still xpaham lagi ape bnde senanye tu. pstu i tanye punye tanye smpai la last2 i fhm. huhuhu. lembap jgak i ptg td. lepas dh fhm sume baru la i rase sgt puas hati dgn design die. yes, its greek goddess inspired + baju kurung modern melayu kite jgak. maka jadi la die mcm ni..

*kalo xnmpk klik je la utk besar kan eh.. =)*

tadaaaa.. ni sketch baju nikah i tau. i repeat, baju nikah i. norzafira punye. xde amik2 dr google ke boogle ke koogle ke. seriously i cant wait for the outcome. cantik x? kalo korg kate xcantik pun i xkisah. sbb pade i cantik. heee.. i hope by giving him ample time it will turn out good. i dh pesan dh kt the designer supaye no rush buat baju ni. n ade lagi satu surprise. guess what, xpasal2 azam pun akan buat baju melayu nikah die pun dgn designer i ni!!! hahaha.. sungguh xdisangka2 btol.

so far, i sgt berpuas hati dgn design n harga yg ditawarkan. hopefully hasilnye pun membanggakan. kat bawah ni gmbar i dgn azam diukur oleh en. designer yg sgt baik. tp i dh inform die dh yg figure die measure skrg ni tentative je. hahaha.. kurus!! cpt kurus!! nk beli jusmate 5 la.. berkesan xeh? =P

alalala azam.. suke la tu dpt baju jgak. hehehe. padahal i pun suke gak!

 

 n this is me. gemok nye.. rambut serabai tension meeting pun ade lagi. xpe, tggu la i groom nnt. bole jadi cantik tau.. tgk la.. tgk la.. *menyedapkan hati padahal dlm perut tu ade ice lemon tea, ayam goreng, ayam goreng n ayam goreng*

so, should i reveal siapakah gerangan designer pilihan hati? hahaha.. sudah terang lagikan bersuluh. i pun dh mintak permission en. designer ni utk post kan gmbr ni kt my blog. to those yg xtau n xknal muke beliau, beliau ni la [nik erwan roseli] .. he's also one of the member of the 5tars, the collaboration of 5big names in fashion industry. they are young, super creative n talented too..

tp, jgn sangka 5tars designers offer harga mahal2 je tau. like nik erwan, he offered me harga yg sgt2 reasonable. b2b on budget, korg gi la tanye mintak quotation. jgn jadi cm i dulu. bodoh, sombong plak tu. malu nk tanye so konon nk buat kat tailor je. padahal i rase harga pun xla jauh mane. n lagi la gamble baju tu tah nnt jadi mcmane. i xnk la nnt bermuncung2 bile tgk baju tu dh siap.  xpasal2 last minute nk buat baju lain. azam ade cousin yg mcm tu n last2 terpaksa my FSIL bersilat siap kan baju nikah die on time. mujur die pandai jahit. tp pape pun, kan dh membazir namenye tu. again, i seriously hope yg nik can pull off this dress like yg kite dh discuss tu eh nik? *macam la die bace blog aku*

so i guess, thats all about it. secara xlangsung i dh berjaya meng-cross list bulan may skali since sepatutnye part confirm2 designer ni i buat next month. n as usual i dh terbuat dibulan sebelumnye. typical me. maka, melopong lg la i bulan dpn dh xtau ape nk buat. i've paid the deposit. so nik dh bole start kerja kan baju i.  first fitting will be on september but kalo ade pape nnt nik will keep in touch with me.hehehe.. xsabar nye!! xsabar nye!! =)

ekspo perkahwinan budget @ shah alam : yay!!

hooray!! good news for shah alam's b2b or any b2b around shah alam area. hari2 blk kje i akan terserempak banner2 n bunting2 kat anggerik mall tu yg mengatakan yg there'll be a budget wedding expo kt sinun nnt!! well, as we all can see on my checklist skrg ni cume hal caterer je blom settle. unlike bridal boutique or what so ever, caterer ni susah skit kalo kite nk survey. al-maklum, nk kne rase food, jumpe, ckp dgn orgnye. kalo stakat over the phone or layan kt website je mmg xpuas. nak2 plak kalo nk jumpe satu dh kat kajang, satu lagi kt sg. buloh. dh mcmane nk survey tu? xke penat jadi nye.

dh pjg plak cite part tu.. so, i mmg target nk serbu any wedding expo or carnival utk dpt kn caterer. nk ke kl2 area tu? lupe kan saje la.. xmungkin kitorg meredah highway semate2 sbb bnde ni. nk2 plak part2 ni kne bawak org tua dtg bersame. n nk2 jgak wedding expo yg kat shah alam kali ni dtg tepat pade mase nye. by april dh nk kne confirm kan? so, for this wedding expo, i'll go with a mission. huhuhu..

but since name pun dh budget wedding expo (actually "ekspo perkahwinan bajet") i dont expect much. n lgpun i cume nk carik caterer. on foods, its not about the price. its about the taste, the satisfaction. kalo mahal2 pun blom tentu rasenye sedap. xkisah la caterer popular atau x, jnji service yg diberi puas ati. n like the bawang used ade lain2 harga, lain2 rase. rasenye xkan.. so, fret not. akan ku terjah expo wedding ni.

mood : bersemangat!

kalo u guys nk tau byk lg, bole check [blog ni]. but nmpk nye mcm blog ni mcm lebih focus on the exhibitors. but lantak la.. janji ade guidance. btw, siap ade tema tau.. its "hari indah anda bermula dengan perancangan berhemah". amik ko.. yg mane lupe diri tu, renung2 kan. hehehe... *padahal dengki*

wedding preps #4 - double cross!

ok.. mari berpositif (tapi hakikat nye masih upset)

2things to be crossed out of my checklist which jugak dh mengcomplete kan checklist i utk the month of march.

decorator

kursus kahwin

i harap sijil kursus i bole diprint semula walaupun perlu dibayar. wahh.. i sounds bongkak n seperti tidak reti menghargai sijil. but hey, sijil tu dh terbang tah jauh dimana. what do u expect me to do? seat kursus blk? why should i? bnde baru kan bkn lame. its not dat i lupe ape yg ustaz ustazah tu ceramah kan. try me! n of cz, i bkn sengaje. hehehe.. awal2 dh stand by jawapan kalo diorg refuse to print sijil i tu blk. tp rase nye xkut. i akan admit sume silap i n td kt kursus diorg dh ckp, kalo ade correction, kne byr rm3 utk reprint semule. kes i bole kire mcm tu la jgak kan. nway, lets pray for the best. insyallah..

move on

skrg, officially i akan menggunakan khidmat decorator ren-da belleza utk function2 dirumah. alhamdulillah.. td dh settle byr deposit. as per deal, diorg akan provide kan i :

i . mini pelamin (+ seat on chair. xmo duduk simpuh2 or bersila2)

ii . handbouquet

iii . 200pcs of thank you tags

iv . 100pcs of personalized popcakes

v . candy buffet

vi . centrepieces

vii . canopy decorations

ni sume i amik sempena package 2011 promo yg bakal abis 30hb ni. sib baik sempat catch up. compare dgn harga decorator lain, so far yg ni rase mcm lebih berbaloi2.

ingat xhari tu i ade mention pasal decorator yg not yet hired tu? actually, mereka la org nye. yg baik, manis, sweet, sabar plak tu tunggu i walaupun i lmbt. so far, rase selesa dgn service diorg. 

k la.. xde mood nk cite byk. sakit ati, sakit jiwa, sakit otak, mcm2 sakit lg. rase cm nk terjun kbmall je. ohh!! sungguh frustrated. =( 

 

loving their mini pelamins, loving their candy buffet, loving their handbouquet, loving it, loving it, loving it!

april check list

ops.. teradvance skit. but nway, 1 down, 5 more to go!

confirm MUA for nikah

hehehe.. excited sgt smpai bln march punye pun actually xabis lagi. =P
