doorgift oh doorgift

happy weekend darlas yg sudi membaca blog daku diwaktu weekend atau pun sesudah weekend! 

im sure most of us minggu ni busy kesana kemari attend weddings and open houses kan? kalo xattend pun msti ramai yg buat kan? jeez... suke sgt mcm ni. rasa mcm sgt meriah. xsangka raya dikemudian2 ni baru terasa keseronokkan nye. =D

anyway, just nk share some of the items yg i've been googling sejak 2menjak ni. al-maklum, skrg ni agak core jgak la nk mencarik doorgift. mase dh xbyk. mak dari hari tu kate nk bagi telur. last2 yg ditanye nye kotak bahulu. dh mcmane? isk.. sabar je la..

so, i've spotted couple of ideas yg sgt2 menarik. cantik, unik n seperti yg diatas, comel!!!!

meet the wooden mini basket yg super cute!!

comel x? i dh berangan org pegang bende ni smbil meggunakan tip of their fingers saje. sbb comel kan? jumpe beberapa kedai dimalaysia (through internet) yg jual bakul ni. but guess what, the cheapest pun it would cost me RM9 per piece. isk.. mahal nye. dh la kcik. nk isi sebijik telur mungkin xmuat. but before i knew the price, i budget nk letak telur burung puyuh. wahh.. cerita mcm murah je telur puyuh tu kan. T_T

selain pada tu, teringin gak nk bagi org potted plant yg comel. at least we can go green jgak. *dan2 i jadi environmental friendly* but this one xla ade telur. but somehow ia menarik jgak. idea ni poofed in my head since lately azam ade beberapa project berkaitan bonzai. =P

rase nye ini pun will cost me agak mahal gak. tah laa.. smpai part2 mcm ni agak blurr plak nk mencarik supplier pokok kcik. google2, mcm susah je nk jumpe kt malaysia. *sigh*

eh, dh terlari plak dari concept nk bagi telur. mak pun dh lari. ade ke yg sebok ditanye adalah pembekal bahulu!? hurm.. im about to lose this a lil bit. dgn time dan tabungan yg mengurang, can i just say, xkisah la nk bagi ape pun. telur ke, bahulu ke, pokok ke, kerepek ke.. simbol ke mane ape kemane. iskk.. will try mybest to look for a proper case to place telur. kalo xde gak, then i'll surrender.

k la.. gtg now.. will share more later.. daa n slamat pengantin baru! =D

downsizing hantaran

ok, im about to accept it. knowing the fact that i can actually save a lot kalau barang hantaran dikurangkan, it makes me feel better. mule2 i admit, i agak shock bile FMIL ckp yg die cume nk hantar 5dulang saje which include cincin of course, mas kahwin, and 3more side gifts konon as pengiring cincin n mas kahwin. during discussion mmg ade rase nk correct her since i n azam n so do my family sibuk ckp yg it'll be 7 vs 9. in fact dulang n alas dulang pun i dh siap kan 9.

tp bile i tgk muke FMIL yg bercakap dgn penuh minat, syahdu la plak kan. die pun mungkin ade plan die sendiri n her own imagination of this wedding. selama ni dh byk bende yg diturut kan ikut kehendak i. so stakat hantaran pun nk argue lg, kire sudah2 la tu.. lgpun mase tunang tu pun dh dpt mcm2. kire redha je la..

now, its confirmed. i've set it in my mind yg its ok with just 5 vs 7 trays of hantaran. so, should i say hantaran for her semua kire settle? well, FMIL kate its going to be:

:: the wedding ring - done

:: mas kahwin - somehow it'll b done for sure

:: sireh - pun somehow it'll be done effortlessly. bli je kat kedai india kt sri muda tu je pun.

:: buah - anytime je.

:: cake/chocolate/cupcake/wtv - tinggal order je. 

see, no shopping mall or hunting session needed. easy peasy.. bende yg blom ade pun i cross je. sbb bende simple kut. gi kedai, pilih, amik, bayar, chow.. xyah susah2 nk hunt design mane ke, size ke, tunggu sale ape ke. kan kan? well, itu part lelaki. senang je. kalo part pompuan plak camne? ni haku nk mengantor ni nk kasi ape.

according to plan pertama, i patut kasi die 9 dulang. but since ade pertukaran, i xtau nk deduct yg mane. was thinking to give him :

:: al-quran tafsir + sejadah + tasbih

:: bag + wallet

:: shoes

:: shirt + pants / baju melayu + songket

:: chocolate/cuppy cakes/cake

:: halwa

:: cincin

:: sireh

so skrg, kene buang 2.. azam awal2 dh kate yg die xmo cincin. so, no cincin. n the must give items are :

bag + wallet - dh beli dh pun

sireh - the penghulu kate nye

halwa - mmg plan nk bagi n mak knows exactly where to find it

so, 3 dh kompom msti kne ade.. i have a cousin yg terer buat macaroons. so, kalo bg macaroons je comel gak kut kan. nnt nk order la dari die.

her shop called Luv Siera. located at the sphere, bangsar south n its such a cosy place. i pun dh lame xkesana. hihihi.. kalo lepak pun sini2 je. xtersampai plak ke sane. her shop in the same time ade gak jual baju2 yg girlish n sweet2. biase la, owner pun sweet2 org nye.. u guys can check out their fb page [here]

just check out this sweet hantaran decor which i managed to find with the help technology (google)

drool enough? hihihi..comel kan? terpanjang plak cite pasal item hantaran yg satu ni. so, lets just count macaroons in my list of hantaran for him. so, total dh 4.

also berhajat nk kasi azam solat gear mcm sejadah, tasbih, songkok n so on. ye la, asik ingat duniawi je, asik ingat mkn je, pstu kne la sembahyang plak. bersyukur kan.. smlm mase lelepak dgn membe2 bbf, amy beli sejadah as hantaran to her tunang. cantik sgt. suke sbb sejadah yg die beli tu sgt kemas. i pun nk carik cam die la.. hehehe.. so, thats 5.

another 2 ape plak ye? how about chocolate? n last skali kasi la jam ke, baju ke, pape la.. depend pade azam ape yg die nk. hehehe.. this acutally kne bwk discuss dgn azam dulu baru bole final. iskk.. hantaran utk bagi kt i senang je. xmemasal dh settle. utk bagi kat die tetap susah jgak walaupun dh bole buang 2. iskk.. 

dulang hantaran 5 balas 7 je?

yesterday was awesome. pgi kje, smbil smpat blaja cane nk buat another version of paper flower, blk kje pgi DIY shop to buy some swarovski stones for my shoes, beraya rumah azam n start my project.

ok, mari kongsi kisah beraya sambil berbincang tentang majlis kami dulu. as usual PIBANK bersidang mengenai persiapan. xsangka, byk yg dh settle. cume door gift n PA System saje. sib baik door gift kitorg decide utk bagi asing2. so, xpayah nk mintak approval n what not. misi seterusnya : door gift hunting.

mase borak2 tu, FFIL sedap je ckp yg kitorg ade lg 2 bulan lebih je lg. mule2 tu angguk la jgak but tetibe hati mcm xbole terima. cpt2 btol kn yg we actually have 3 bulan lebih lagi. bukan 2 bulan. FFIL pun xnk kalah.. xtau la, walaupun rase xsabar tp mcm xbole terime je kalo percepatkan waktu tu. i have my plan, i have my target so xbole nk main pusing je jarun jam tu..

antara topik hangat smlm is on the legal stuff. uish.. dh bole dh kalau nk gi buat HIV test ni. azam kate die xnk buat last minute. kate nye by october die dh nk gi start carik org2 yg berkaitan. huhuhu.. sejuk hati bile dengar. borang nikah dh print hari tu.. well, download je dari [website] ni.

hikhik.. xsabar nye nk isi *gatal*

pstu smpai plak part hantaran. yesssss... di sini la yg meruntun jiwa dan raga. FMIL kate nk bagi 5dulang je. isk.. sakit nye dengar, mcm menikam, menusuk ke kalbu. die kate nk bagi pengiring je utk cincin n mas kahwin. yg disebut nye buah, kek, sirih.. habis, mana make up set? mane jam? mane bag? long story short, xdpt den nk menolong ehhh.. alas dulang pun i dh siap kan 9. isk.. last2 hati kawan ni terpaksa la accept. konon semacam dh bole terima la. reason nk bagi sedap hati, selamat duit aku. mood : redha..

pang pung pang pung kami pun pulang, alhamdulillah kt rumah azam dpt 2sampul. hikhik.. *gatal lg*. setibanya dirumah, i wait no longer.. terus bedek kasut hari tu smbil mengacah2 batu2 swarovski yg baru beli tadi. nk tampal terus takut. so, i just tampal dulu dgn sellotape. hasil nya...

ni, i dh cabut bow blkg tu, gantikan dgn ribbon lite pink (pun xtampal secara serius lagi. just acah2 nk tgk placing n rupe die dulu). so, what do u guys think? ok xdari yg before ni..

to me, ok la kut.. nmpk seri skit. kalo x, malap je.. iskk... gile xseri?? batu tu dh la mahal. mule2 ingat nk beli yg iron on tu so kne la cabut satu2. yg batu2 byk tu murah je. cume rm3 tp last2 ade jual yg swarovski punye.. wah.. berpinar2 mate tgk kilauan nye.. dh berpinar tu, tertutup mate je la membayar harga batu2 tu.. 

nnt kalo dh siap dua2, i'll share kt sini. ok, this will be the most expensive shoes i've ever had. the price breakdown of the shoes goes like this:

shoes from vincci : RM89.90

swarovski : RM40

effort + time + excitement : PRICELESS

hikhik.. cant wait to see the result. xsabar nk pakai dgn baju nnt.. harap sgt it'll match my baju.. mari cross finger anda bersama saya! =D

counting down the days

finally, its only 111 days to go until our wedding day. where 2hearts unite n live the life as one. owh.. its getting closer.

knowing that 111 is just a number that will simply fade away, im glad azam did the right moves in most of the time. i owe him my life. 

wedding shoes : checked?

hello kawan... i xtau whether or not i should check this sbb i dont know if kasut yg i baru beli tadi can really match my dresses. ok, at least a dress but kalo bole fit both nikah n wedding dress, it would be awesome. 

hari ni, i spent the whole day with love. again he cheered me up bile die kate yg hari ni die xnk gado. yes, we had enough fight lately. he's so sweet he leaves all his ego behind. *blush*. hehehe.. ok, cite meng-up tunang sendiri adalah gedik but what to do, im falling in love with him even deeper every each n single day.

erk... actually, ni entry kasut. bukan pasal mr. love saya.. so, here's how the story started..

head to sg. wang plaza with azam n elya as early as 10.30am. before that kami breakfast kaw2 lagi di al-rafi sec13. mission : azam nk carik jam die. its for his birthday n glad he've found his adorable GC along the journey. hope u like it, love.. i n elya mmg puji azam td sbb die sgt rajin melayan kerenah kami si anak dara. we had our late lunch at nasi ayam hainan bukit bintang n it was.. of course, yummeh!!

next stop, zara as azam also is looking for new shoes. sakit hati bile tgk kasut2 sume stock high cut ala2 supra. owh, come on.. org tua dewasa pun nk beli kasut n dont tell us u expect org tua dewasa to wear those high cut shoes.. duhhh.. so, hakikatnye kasut azam gagal dijumpai. continue jalan as i really wanted to enter the new sephora. along the way nampak vincci. n poster besar depan kedai tu is the same poster as the one on the billboard at federal highway. i notice kasut tu mase 2nd raya as im heading back to shah alam from KL. mase tgk billboard tu i mmg terpukau habis dgn lacey wedges yg model tu pegang *yes, die pegang je. xpakai pun*. sampai ke mlm i try google poster tu tp xjumpe.

tanpa membuang masa, i drag azam n elya masuk ke vincci farenheit 88 yg kt tepi jalan tu. surprise sgt bile masuk vincci tu sebab subhanallah, kedai tu mcm kedai tinggal. kasut2 bergelimpangan, its all over the place. org2 dlm tu mcm shoperholic sgt2. lucky kasut kt poster kurang diusik as they were placed at the new arrival table as the prices are strictly nett. 

it comes in 3different color, the one that i bought, black n hot pink. the black one is super sexy. mcm nk beli buat jalan je. tp xspesel la plak kan kalo i beli hitam buat jln n the color i bought ni buat kawin. *dlm otak time tu mmg pk nk kawin je*. harga pun, rm89 je!!! memule i cadang nk custom made saje my wedding shoes but kalo bole dpt yg lagi murah n ready made, y not kan? i tidak tumpas lg mase tu n keep on moving as maybe kt kdai2 ala2 c&k ke, summit ke, viss ke may have designs yg lebih cantik. but hakikat nye, yg hadooo.. wedges2 yg i jumpe sume stock rugged je. mane sweet nk buat kawin. 

setelah puas menjenguk sephora dgn rase riang melihat produk2 UD, Soap & glory n benetint yg super comel n magic, kami pun kembali pulang. time tu i dh fikir kasut i je. kalo xbeli skrg takut nnt susah dh nk jumpe. gagah kan masuk semula ke vincci yg ala2 diserang tsunami tu. tanye SA size5 as the one displayed is in size4. dh try tp kaki xbole masuk. tp bile SA ckp cume tggl size 4, 7 & 8 saje, dan2 muat plak kaki i masuk size4. hahaha... klaka kan.. malas nk pk byk, kaki pun muat so i beli je. dh la yg display tu last piece, i rembat jgak takut kan yg jodoh pertemuan dgn kasut tu mungkin dh xkan ade lagi. matching xmatching blkg kire. bende murah n its wedges some more so better i grab je.

so, ini la kasut nye...

side view

back n front view

currently terase cantik menyarung kan kasut ni walaupun peep toe nye xbrape peep toe. i suke yg btol2 peep tu baru la feeling sexy main cak2. tp xpela.. nnt pakai henna so cantik jgak la kut. the ribbon kt blkg tu xbrape nmpk mcm bow. its too.. big n black. rase mcm nk buang je ribbon tu. kalo i cabut je jahitan die n agak2 burok i beli baru bole x? hahaha.. mmg juga turut mempunyai cadangan utk add on diamante kt depan die tu. white diamante mungkin naik. ribbon nk cat warna putih. boleh??

hehehe.. suke suki je kan.. mentang2 vincci.. mentang2 murah *for a wedding shoes la*. anyway, i major heart ribbon n diamante yg mcm ni..

its sweeter n neater kan?

rasanya misi DIY yg seterusnye is on my shoes. sgt excited. rase mcm nk try bwk kasut ni jgak mase fitting nnt. see if its match my nikah dress. *over kan?* but anyway, u girls ade nk bagi suggestion? =)

dap dip dup didalam dada

hi semua!! salam lebaran.. mcmane raya? ade xyg still akur menurut routine diet dgn mudah meng-ignore ketupat dan rendang? hehe.. i did! well, for ketupat rendang la.. raya 2 je i mungkin adalah customer pertama burger king kerana telah berkunjung ke sana seawal 9pagi. 

meet our breakfast.. =D

unlike others, i raya xde sesi fotografi. i can hardly snippy snappy some pics xkisah la secara solo mahupun berkumpulan.

actually hari ni mmg i plan nk menulis blog sejak dari awal pagi.. al-maklum, its 1st of september baby!! tu yg dtg nye tajuk dap dip dup didalam dada. namun yg demikian, disebabkan beberapa pertengkaran kecil yg xberapa nk kecil dgn azam, maka plan nk menulis tu pun dibantutkan.. alhamdulillah, azam sgt penyabar org nye. kalo die pun berhati batu mcm i, mmg xde ne nye i tulis blog mlm ni. i terharu bile die ckp "u senang2 je nk robohkan kan?" hohoho.. agak sentap gak time tu.. xsangka ade main roboh2 plak. owh well, bdk pendek akal mcm aku ni mmg xfikir mcm tu kut. again, im lucky to have azam. siap ptg td die surprise kn i dgn my favorite mashed potato..

bak kata azam kalo bole beli mesin mashed potato ni mmg die nk beli. tp tatau mane plak nk membelinye.. any idea? n i believe kalo ikut kan hati azam msti die nk beli lebih dari 4. tp azam ni penyegan gak org nye (alhamdulillah..) n keempat2 mashed potato ni selamat i mkn smpai licin. thanks love.. u're simply my sunshine after the rain.. *hugs*

ok la.. mari kite adakan sesi menutup account.. ayuh!!!
