OMG..its 4 days to go!!

Uhh..terasa mcm2 benda lagi xsettle. Agenda is full. Tomorrow afternoon, pick up my nikah outfit (sent for a simple beading last month). Afterwork, out with the girls to buy some *ehem ehem wink wink ;b*. Tuesday afterwork, going off to KLCC with frens from office for a hair-style change. Wednesday morning(wheee~ dah stat cuti!!), off to my old office in Cyber to personally-pass my wed invitation. Yes i do stay in contact with my old colleague and bosses there. Dat evening, try out and pick up my reception dress for both my side n his. Ohh harapnya smua ok.......amin~ And dat night nak pakai inai dah..tapi inai segara..mydin mari..hehehehhe

Anyway masih ada a few cards lagi dlm tangan xpass-pass..byk invite melalui mulut n facebook..haishh bila laaa aku nk pass kad-kad ni...huuhhuhuhu..


my wedding card....

ordered from lh-creative


Anyway this square card cost me 80 cent per piece with his are in red.. ikut theme maaa....hehehehe. Hmm..org slalu xcukup-cukup kad, siap tambah order...but mine still byk laa..xtau nk kasik sape dah..huhu..they gave quite a number of extra free cards!

Ohh ohh, i went for a 3 hours spa treat today~~ hehe. @ Suria Embun in Presint 15, Putrajaya. Recommended as price are very reasonable. Took the promotion package which consist of body massage, body scrub and tangas. Then add-on the milk bath. Total all RM153 only! Overall treatments, service, place and ambience are good. (oh please do not compare with those high-class spa place..tmpt2 tu mmg tersgt lawa..sbb tu la u bayar mahallll) Cuma their bath-tub are a bit small for my size. I'm 160++cm. Tak dapat ku merendamkan seluruh tubuhku....dan treatment mandi dia pun agak kureng skett. You kena scrub dan mandi urself. Tapi overall masih direcommend :)

Lolipop for kiddies

I got the idea to give lolipop for kids from here. She bought it in a kedai borong makanan ringan di Rawang, dem cheap. 15 cent per loli! And paling aku suka memang sgt chomel the designs and they are so colourful. Budak-budak kompem lagi suka. ;) Tapi berkali-kali juga pk am i going all the way to Rawang to buy this? erkk jauh la Rawang itu. Selayang rumah encik tunang pun aku dah rasa jauh ini kan Rawang..huhu

Nak dijadikan rezeki aidiladha, last week kan cuti hari raya haji, maka ke kampung ibuku lah aku pulang. My auntie nak beli some sweets and candy for her son's wedding at a kedai borong makanan runcit, and bila Mama dearie saja ikot and tengok-tengok rupa-rupanya kedai ni pun ada jual the lolipop! wheeee~~ ;) And all this while pegi bazaar ramadhan tak perasan pun ada kedai borong makanan runcit dkat situ. Even aku pnah park betul-betul depan kedai tu before this!

Cuma design agak limited la, hanya star dan bulat dan price nya mahal skettt. 50 batang utk RM8. Maka jatuh 16 cent. Bila tengok label nya, nak tengok ingredient tapi tertengok distributor nya dan rupa-rupanya Seri Kembangan mariii..hahahahha..tu pekan umah aku tuu..ni kat Serdang ni. hahahaha.. Patut la dia charge lebih. Kos tol dan minyak ke Parit Buntar, Perak! Takpe la, sebab malas dah nak pk dan terlalu berkira maka kami pun beli lah 200 batang. ;)


So here they are, bentuk bulat dan bintang



Close ups



Tapi kan aku rasa most kedai borong makanan runcit ada la jual lolipop ni. Yang aku tau, dkat KL Jalan h.s. lee ada beberapa kedai-kedai ini. Yang tak suka drive ke KL, boleh amek lrt dan turun di masjid jamek. Dah dekat dah tu.

Tag Terima Kasih

Tag terima kasihku sudah siap. Yeyy..now in the mist of 'menempek' those tags to the bekas. Semalam dah selesai menempek dalam 900 bekas (theres 400 bekas to go! chaiyo chaiyoo~). Mama dearie, lil sis and cousin Padil tolong. Terima kasih yaaa.. :)

Well actually i wanted to order the tags from Jentayu Design. Their designs are beautiful and price are also ok. But unfortunately they only have them in minimum size 1.5 inch. Saya mahu 1 inch lah. Kang keluar paksi pulak tag terima kasihku..huhu. So i've decided to just edit one of the design they have with only using Paint. Yes guys..u dun really need those fancy software to do it, just a simple Window's tool will do. Walaupun aku ni orang IT, tapi terasa leceh nak install and then relearn tools yang hebat2 tu. Alaa lagi pun nak edit benda simple je kan.

So ini adalah design tag terima kasih ku, cantik kan?? ;)

Tapi design bunga tu memang bukan aku yang buat yaa.. Harap mereka tidak marah kerana aku guna design mereka buat bekas door gift ku. ;b

Anyway ini pulak the original design. Aku tambah word 'Terima Kasih', tambah border, tuka kaler nama untuk ikot theme, tukar position tarikh ke bawah dan ubah skettt posisi bunga yang di bawah tu. Nampak cam simple je penukaran tu, tapi alahai agak leceh gak la.

Design asal

Well byk lagi design yg cantik-cantik. Sayang je xleh wat size yg aku nak. Tapi ok la gak, sekurang-kurangnya banyak aku berjimat dengan buat sendiri tag-tag ini. Aku guna kertas putih yang sederhana tebal(140gsm), which satu A4 tu boleh dapat 70 keping tag. Sekeping A4, 10 sen dan aku kira aku guna dalam 30% ink colour printer. Maka bila dikira-kira termasuk price ink, satu tag terima kasih ku hanya lah RM0.02! hehehehe..jimatnyaa. Kalau order satu 20 sen, tapi aku wat senirik 2 sen ja. Tapiiiii..please take note, kertas biase yaa bukan matte laminate or glossy or wat so ever kertas yg bermutu itu. Ala xpela, janji boleh jimat. ;)

A Super Duper Productive Week!

1. Catering - Checked!

We went for a food testing in kayu ara damansara sabtu lepas lepas. And bcoz the super iritating strimik buat hal that day, i didn't do my usual wikimapia search before going to an unfamiliar place. I just got the caterer's map which is erkk not helpful at all... thus we got sesat! huhu

From the map it says take the exit 23 on the Sprint highway, and all this while i thot that from Kerinci Link you can get to sprint highway..tapi dah sampai hujung kerinchi Link tak jumpa punn..uhhhh did i miss any turning?? Erhhh tension btol. Lil sis pulak not helping. Last sampai area one utama aku dah pening pala..waaa mana exit 23 sprint highway ni wehh?? But thankfully the caterer help us with the direction. Sampai pun!

Anyway I like their place. They have their own lot building and the presentation of the food testing was very clean n nice. Food was also reasonably good, except ayam dia a bit too pedas for me, takpa ini boleh direquest. Byk gak jenis boleh rasa sbb ada 2 kenduri that day. Price wise pulak setakat yang kami tau, sgt la murah! Dah la byk free item dia kasik tau. Mana nk dapat RM10.50 with 8 arabic canopy, hidangan pengantin with hiasan meja pengantin n backdrop, 4 dome for the VIPS, kek 3 tingkat and also the penanggah. Very good deal tau! Furthermore the contact person is so very helpful and pleasant. Any enquiries i just ym her ;) Mama dearie is so very relief, coz the most important thing dah settle. Alhamdulillah..just hope everything goes well nanti. Amin...

psstt..kalau nk info on the caterer, buzz me ;)


2. Tempah Baju nikah & Baju hantaran from FMIL - Checked!

That weekend also i went to see our usual tailor. Gave her my design for nikah outfit, the only problem on this is the beading where she always send to is too dem expensive..Hampir RM300 babe! Waduhh kopak akuu..So skarang aku tengah mencari beader yg charge lebih reasonable..Anyone has their contact number???

As for the baju for this kain, initially i was just intended for it to be a kurung moden, but when maria our tailor kira rupanya the kain is 5 meter. Maka the balance of the kain will be made as the top part of baju kebaya pendek whichhhh~ can be weared with the kurung modern's kain or even jeans..uh uhh i suka i suka!


3. Tempah Kad Kahwin - Half Checked coz kad nya belom depan mata lagik..huhu

We've chosen the design and already send the layout kad. Early november will follow up with them on the final layout for printing..End of November br leh collect the card. Erghh..lambat lagi..once dapat je kad kena la cepat-cepat tulis and send out for mr postman to deliver.


4. Sewa Baju Sanding for both side - Wuhuuu Checked!

On last saturday went to see julie (my side wedding boutique) to choose and try out the baju..As im gonna wear all white, seb ada baju putih baru buat..fuhh tak yah tempah..tidak kena add on money. The dress is simple and sweet tapi paling i suka bout this dress is the veil to go with it.. The only thing is the top part is lace and ohh so revealing. Encik tunang mmg dah kasi warning about this awal-awal dulu lagi.."no revealing dress please..i dun want awal-awal dah tanggung ur dosa." Erghh..tolong la i pun tamau sexy gitu. tak sesuai i bertudung okk.. So am going to have to find an inner baju for this and also a white tudung. Ke Jalan TAR la weekend ni yee. As for encik tunang's attire, dia dapat baju baru sbb takde size but with no charge la. ;)

As for baju bertandang, we went for a hunt in bangi. Sgt banyak butik-butik di bangi ni ok. Mr tunang jadi drebar n i turun and ask for the price. Kalau within our budget baru mr tunang turun keta. Tidak buang masa la dua-dua turun..i kering je masuk butik terus tanya sewa baju..hoho..tapi most sewa is RM700 an above. Mahalnyaaa! Honestly i almost gave up the search that evening.

But on our last stop, we both tetiba nak turun and tengok. Masuk butik tu tgk uih ramainye org, baju pun looks up to date n the owner look so stylish. Dlm hati rasa mcm mahal je butik ni..tapi once i ask the sewa, its only RM550! yeyyyy~ and they have bajus in dark red! wuhuuuuuuuuu~~

Seriously it was so dem easy and fast.. I masuk trus tanya sewa baju and bgtau our theme, then SA dia ckp ada baju baru tgh buat. Tak fully siap lagi, dia kata nak tambah manik lagi ni. I tengok oh cantek cantek dark red with gold lace and just like i want, something jubah-ish. Then i tanya guy's nya baju mcm mana pulak? And the owner tunjuk the baju, its a 3 suit blazer with songket border..ohhh suka2.. Although the baju tak fully siap lagi pun i trus booking! I rasa smua org dlm butik pun kagum tgk begitu senangnya bride ni! hehehehehehehe


5. Doorgift for guest and VIPS - Double checked..sgt puas hati! ;)

Mama dearie wants to add another 300 bekas for the doorgift. Maka we shot off to Nilai 3 yesterday morning. A bit worry what if the bekas all sold out?? Fortunately ada satu kedai clearing off those bekas..fuhh mmg last kopek betul laaa..murah by 10cent per bekas from the original price.(i think) Beside dat we got a really nice bedside table lamp for free..hehe

Oh yaa bakul for the VIPS osso sudah settle. Ini lah dia gamba bakul yg togel tanpa deconya lagikk ;)



Good deal betul. Be a member at ZC for RM10 a year, and you'll get a very good price of selected items. The bakul we've bought tu the original price is RM3.40 and mana-mana kedai pun jual almost the same price. But for ZC's member they're selling it at RM1.40 only!! 2ringgit off walawehhh~..hehehehehe. Super jimat! If smaller size sila tolak 20kupang yaa(dat is 20cent).. Anyway they opened a new ZC outlet yg sgt besar, almost big as Thank Q tapi a bit tesorok sket laa..their wedding stuffs and flowers are up to date.. especially their deco. Lawa-lawa laa..seb duit agak limited, tidak aku angkut dah a few bunga-bunga and decos! ;b

As for the deco for the bakul pun sudah dibeli. SA di one of the kedai(erkk i forgot the name of the shop!) is soooo helpful, dia nmpk kami tgh cari bunga utk tempek ke bakul tu, n i said kecik2 sgt bunga ni..then dia suggest letak riben blakang bunga kecik tuu..wahh sungguh good idea dan jimat!! ;b

Arini riben2 sudah habis dipotong, sekarang tengah mempusing2 kan riben cam dia ajar by the SA..once finish nak lekat the bunga to the riben pulak..thenn baru lekat to the bakul. Fuhh seb VIP doorgift jek, mampus aku if its the guest door gift! 1300 bekas babeee!

Lega ini pun sudah half settle. Tinggal barang dlm je. Mama dearie nk letak the guest's bekas telur, cookies and chocolate which she will personally made herself (ibu sy mmg kerjanya wat coklat tau! heh)


6. HIV Test - Alahaii of coz la both of us are non-reactive! Kami tidak melakukan sebarang aktiviti berisiko yaa.. ;)

So lucky mr fiance's fren(kawan kepada kawan sbnrnya) working at Klinik Kesihatan Jinjang. Thats why u need networking people..heh. A week early already made appointment with dat guy and bila sampai je tak payah pun beratur panjang utk amek nombor dan borang. Semua dia dah ready utk kami. hehe. So everything was smooth dan senang. Thank god! ..hihihi..

Dan rupanya the test valid for 6 month, ingatkan 3 bulan.. Apa-apa pun sungguh lega, now we can start working on the borang. Tok kadi dah ckp bile dah settle borang laki, leh la jumpa dia. Oh ya mama dearie osso sudah jumpa tok kadi, maka sudah book time n date for the nikah. 1 Jan 2010 ya peeps..mark your calender!


Perghhhhhh panjangnya entry ni..haha told you im going to go all out before end of this month! Banyak gle dh settle babes and im super duper lega! Wheeeeeeee~~~ \(^o^)/

Kain Ohh Kain..

Went to Jalan TAR today to buy mama dearie n lil sis kain for all the 3 events. But bcoz on the way walking from where we've parked to jakel or nagoya, we hopped into a few shops to see some ready made baju. And tak sempat pun sampai ke destinasi utama kami.....lil sis dah angkut satu baju purple arge dlm RM185! Dan pusing punya pusing kedai-kedai kat sana, kami mengambil konklusi to just beli baju siap! hahaha.. apa daa~

Sekarangkan theres a lot of fashion ready made baju with really beautiful beading dat are actually very nice. Price are OK osso, around RM100 to RM350. Lagi lawa beading lagi mahal la kan. Simple beading but still beautiful and kemas are around RM100 to RM200. So bila pk balik, tempah baju kurung moden with linning pun dh almost RM200 dkat tailor yg kitorg slalu tempah, tambah harga kain lagi, tambah beading lagi..fuhh akhirnya mungkin cecah RM350 ke RM400. Erkk.. dan sila la darab dengan jumlah events dan kepala..tu tak kira lagi my cousin's wedding in november and december.. Aduiiii kayap buat baju je kang!

Anyway sampai juga ke destinasi, which is Jakel coz nak beli kain for pengapit. Sekejap je coz i only bought a light purple kain for mr fiance's pengapit. Tu pun xtau la murah ke, ok ke, tp i like the purple colour la, the kain felt soft and comfortable and ikot kate SA nya tak panas. Bantai laa..huhu. As for my pengapit will have to come with her. Kang aku beli kain yg dia tak suka camne?? Honestly la i am NOT at all good in this. Sangat tak reti beli kain dan tempah. Most of our bajus are ready made and biasenya below RM100. Kadang-kadang je terlebih skettt.. Every year my raya is very sederhana. Slalu balik kampung which is in Parit Buntar, Perak then baru beli baju raya kat sana. Theres a lot of cheap ready made baju raya there dan kami sememangnya adalah pelanggan tetap kedai Mei Chong dan kedai Haji Sani di sana. ;b

Oh yaa..lupa pulak i osso bought linning for FMIL kain, which will be one of my hantaran. This also have to be send for tempah. And im still not sure what design suits this kain and me. Kan dah kata tak reti la bab-bab kain ni..huhuhuhu.

Any suggestion? Kainnya agak kasar dan keras dan agak jarang. Tak tau org panggil jenis apa kain ini. Its orange in colour n have a lot of silver dust. Sungguh shinning!

FMIL bought this beautiful kain from India tau!


Oh ya one more thing before headed to Jalan TAR, we went to RINS suzana's boutique. They are having this really good promotion. 3 baju L & P (from 30 collections) for a price of only RM500 only! Tapi malangnya the baju i like is either too small for me..waaaa i so~~~ need to lose my weight and shape up..4 kg jadi la! or its not in my theme colour.. *sighed~* Anyway tomorrow is their last day of promotion, tu pun di extand tauu.. Sapa nak, p la tgk ye..tak rugi pun tengokk..they are near the Giant Ulu Kelang.
