Things I bought in Nilai 3

Bekas for door gift - checked!

Yeyy~ im fully satisfied with the bekas. Penat btol pusing-pusing nilai 3 tadi. Actually benda lain yg dicari tapi benda lain pulak yang berkenan di hati. Hehehehhehe. Tak jadi beli the initial bekas that i was looking for. 1st reason price are almost the same RM1 per piece, 2nd reason the choices of colours are more (i bought purple, turqoise, yellow, green, brown, red n black), 3rd reason n its the most important thing, I dun need to deco the bekas sbb mmg dh chantekk! So tak jadi la nk wat camni (sila klik for detail).

Tapi maybe just for the VIPs, i think i'll need to put a ribbon. Bagi nampak spesel sket. 42 pieces je, skett so xla penat. Dah beli pun the ribbon, payah gak nk cari this design. Tak byk kedai jual, most probably dh habis stok kot. I got it for RM2.50. Panjang mana? Aku pun xsure, dia xtulis. Belasah je beli sbb cam murah jek. Heh..




Nway 40 are for his side n the other 2 for the pengapits. Ada lagi nk kasi for VIPs ni. Bakul for the VIPs pun baru disurvey tadi. Might put 3 items in the bakul. Maka kena la p nilai 3 lg nanti.. Alaa its like 20-30 minutes from home plus no traffic jam. Thats why we dun mind going there.....errr every week(?!) hahahaha..tak kose aku nk p tiap-tiap minggu, panas laa nilai 3 tuu..!

Haaa..aku nk tunjuk u girls one thing i bought there.. a comforter set dat includes of coz the comforter also known as quilt, 1 queen size bedsheet, 4 pillow cover(ye EMPAT!) and 1 boster cover. Yang tak tahan tu is the design. Chantek kan??! Design LV gituu~.. sangat suka!! ;b




Oh yaa berapa ye utk set comforter ini??? Cuba lah teka....



jeng jeng jeng.......

RM38 SAHAJA!! hehehehehheheh..tapi kena tutup sebelah mata laa, jahitan comforter dia kureng skettt. haha wat do u expect for such a cheap price?!

p/s : sori aku xletak gamba bekas tu. Bagi surprise skett..hihi.

Purple and Red (dark red!)

My future-mother-in-law already bought the bekas n deco for doorgifts a month ago, dan sudah juga beli a few bekas for hantaran n semlm pulak encik tunang ckp FMIL came back yesterday with a bag of kain for their family. They already booked the hall n most probably booked the catering as well....itu majlis bertandang! Bukan byk pun kena pekesah.

Dan aku???! huwaaaaa....smua belom lagik! Dah la aku ada 2 majlis, nikah dan sanding babee. huhuhuhu.. Rasa 5 bulan tu cam lame tp bila blog hopping, tgk most of brides to be yg majlisnye lebih kurang time aku, sudah lebih-lebih~ maju dari aku. Erghh..I need to get moving! But one thing is this evening akan pergi cari katil utk bilik pengantin with mama dearie. Harap jumpe yg berkenan di hati dan masih dlm budget (siapa??......ibuku!) agagagaggaa.. iye mama dearie going to pay, yela katil tu pun akan dibiarkan di rumah utk kegunaan masa hadapan ;)

Anyway kami sudah finalize our wedding theme. fuhh lega. Now baru betul-betul boleh merancang.

My side, would be purple. One of my best buddy(fir!) ckp dia mmg leh agak i'm gonna choose purple..mostly baju aku pun kaler purple! hehehehe. Suka la unggu. Tapi...the wedding dress saya mahu puteh. But i might add up maybe a purple ribbon on the waist or some purple detailing. Well we'll see how it goes...

On his side pulak, its gonna be red as in merah hati/maroon, not myvi or man united red ye! Erghh..org gelap cam aku xsesuai merah terang, merah gelap ok la..boleh diterima. ;)

Food Testing

Went for food testing today. The boutique i've booked for my wedding pelamin n baju is also offering catering services. Well actually the whole package. They called it the wedding planner package. Its consist of almost~ everything! Catering, dais, wedding dresses, makeup, photography, wedding cake, door gift, wedding card, hantaran deco and the wedding deco as well including the room deco, house n even the brides main table. But i'm not gonna take all. I'm selecting only those that i need to get from others, yg lain akan ku usahakan senirik. Kita perlu jimat beb jimattt..

Anyway rasa segan gak to gate crash other people's wedding. haha teringat cite wedding crasher. Tadi pun buat muka selamber je.hehe. Lagi pun the boutique owner yg suruh dtg, katenye they cooked extra. Food was ok but paling i suka is the deco. Lawa betul the pelamins, yes ada 2 pelamin on the stage. Jimat betul kan bila wat 2 wedding sekali. Luv their stage deco, the main table n the pintu gerbang. Pintu gerbang dia len sket, not the typical arch u see. Gambar sgt tak jelas..dh la shot from my mum's hp n segan pulak i nk amek gamba wedding org dekat2..hehehe

Heres the pics:

english style..so simple and sweet.
luv the backdrop lighting :)


the not so typical arch..juga sweet kan?


Back to the catering thingy, we won't finalize anything yet. Catering is something you can't rush. Its the most important part of the wedding coz heyy~ you're going to fork out at least RM10K(at leastt!) for the food dan org datang jauh2 ke majlis kite, so the food better be gooood!

Am looking forward for the pameran pengantin in Midvalley this 7 -9 August. Last time we went to the pameran in Ampang Point pun dh byk catering services, here lagi laa.. It said to be the biggest pameran pengantin. Well we'll see. Hope we can get as many food testing there and make a final decision. Then i can cross one more thing in my wedding checklist!

Wedding Photographer - pencarian bermula...

Straight forward i'll say budget for our wedding photography is RM2000. And this is for all event. Nikah+Sanding+Tandang. Betul encik tunang ckp, cukup sekadar ada gamba utk kenangan tak perlu over spending. We have to remember life after wedding is much more important and at dat time definately will use more money. Ingat saving mesti masih perlu ada!

Tapi kan.....before this i was a bitttttt degil(a bitt jek!), i was eyeing for photo packages dats rm1k++ for a single event. Kalau 3 event?? haha u do the math! Tapi ku sedar bila encik tunang kata 'tak pegi australia laa..kita kalau amek photog mahal2~~' hehehehe. Encik tunang~~.. kalau amek 2k pun rasa kita masih saket nk p australia utk honeymoon. ;b xpa2..we'll try our best to minimize spending..saya mau ke australiaa! (tmpt yg byk kes H1N1 skarang..hahahahaha..saja cari naya!)

Anyway back to the topic, we are in the midst of searching for photo packages. Syarat kami senang, affordable iaitu bawah rm2000, design simple tamau serabut dan shot yg lawa tp i dun need reaction dat goes 'OMG lawa nyaaa!' *nganga mulut*. Cukup sekadar 'Hmm..lawa. Pandai dia amek gamba'. Photog itu juga tak perlu ada 'nama'. Yelaaa mana la ada photographer bernama bleh offer package RM2000 utk 3 event! Celah gigi jee 2k tuu utk dia. Yang ada nama skett pun masih mahal. Maka we are left with those that are not well known but are still gud with their work. Biasa orang2 ini tidak buat fulltime. Biasanyaaa la part time yang mencari duit tambahan. Mari kami menambahkan rezeki mereka pulak.

We've sent email inquiries and set up some appointment already. Meeting up to view their work is a must for me. Yelaa kita nk keluar rm2K, *tskk* bukan sket..byk tu plus its for our wedding. Perlu rasa puas hati dengan pilihan betul tak?

Utk video plak, ada sapa2 nk amek kan video free utk kami?? Tak yah editting. Tak yah letak lagu. Aku hanye nak part nikah, interview kawan2, time arak, time bersanding dan time potong kek. Itu saja..mari laaa jadi videographerku~~ Nanti aku belanja pizza! hahahahhaha asal aa kalau bab belanja mesti kena belanja pizza??! ;b

Suka gamba2 ni. A columbian couple. All pics are from here



best je a simple, small and relaxing wedding..(duit pun jimat! hehe)
ohhh tidak mungkin berlaku utk our wedding..*sighed*


I luv candid pictures of couple smilling n laughing.
They look so happy being married ;)

Door Gift

Aku mc harini..demam dan sakit tekak. Badan dah kebah dan boring asek tdo jek. Terasa nk blogging plak..hehehe. Topic for today is door gift.

Pening pale dok pk nk wat ape utk doorgift. Pk bajet lagik..tu pun seb baik mama dearie kate dia nk tolong sapot skali. huhu..lap u mama..siapakah diriku tanpa ibu terchenta..hihihihi

Anyway idea asal aku nk carik kotak macam ni, plain n simple. Plus suka sgt the ribbon and the sticker tagging!





sources i think from here and here


Tapi after doing some price hunting, mahal rupanya kotak putih ni??! Its like impossible to get below RM1 a box. Ntah apa2 ntah, kotak plain je tapi mahal tol. Aku pun xpaham......

Then when i saw my couz beli bekas for his wedding door gift, baru i realized baik beli bekas yg at least org leh simpan n guna. Kotak plain camni mesti org campak je balik dari wedding aku kan?? huhuhu. So now im looking for a nice bekas for my wedding doorgift. Tapi ribbon camni tetap nk letak. Suka sgt sbb nmpk modern! ;) Tapi nk ikat the ribbon on top je..tanak the whole bekas.

Couz ckp dia nmpk the bekas im looking for in nilai 3..RM1 sebekas. Tu pun tak menhunt lagi. Entah ada kedai yg offer lebih murah. Seposen dua posen murah pun jadi la. Nak beli mungkin 700 ke 1000. Wahh banyaknyaa! Kalau camni kena stat membeli dah. Gile byk bekas aku kena ikat ribbon and then letak tagging. Tagging pulak ntah ikot hati cam nak design n print senirik jek..huhu larat kah daku???!

Anyway i've found a website where u can download free template, tagging and lots more of dyi stuff.. sgt cantek2! Here are some of the free stuff:

gift box template, download for free here


Invitation design template, here


Printable monogram label, here


Sangat suka this one. I might use this myself for my nikah invitation. Design and template lengkap. Just enter the detail n print! Korang aku book template ni dulu tauu! hehehehe


Ok..slamat tgk2..aku pun pening pale byk sgt freebies. xabis pun tgk lagik! ;)

Hantaran Perfume

Suka suka suka..saya sangat suka. hehehehhehe

When people asked me wat perfume i wanna get for my hantaran. I'll straight away say I want Christian Dior J'adore! Yaaa i know its been a while already(sgt!!), the perfume was launched back in 1999..but the scent tu xboleh lawan la..Every perfume lovers should have a bottle of this.

Actually back in April or May we saw a gift set of the perfume with a makeup box. Perfume tu toksah ckp la mmg dah lame sgt aim dr dahulu kala but the box tu aduhai......lawa teramat. N bila nk cari blk dah xde plak....*sighed*

Yela takkan ritu nk beli dh. We haven't got engaged yet at dat time n now its almost impossible to get j'adore's gift set. Punye round with mr fiance, almost all the shopping complex pun tarak! huhuhuhhuhu

So when i saw dat Dior was having a promotion in south court of Midvalley, aduh mana boleh lepas. I straight away asked the promoter, and he said 'sorry la dikk gift set dior ni ada time valentine, mother's day and christmas jeeee..' dia sambung lagi 'tapi~.......kami ada promotion skarang ni, kalau u beli perfume dior kann, u tambah skettttt je kami kasik sekali ngan skincare kit, body lotion, small lipstick, a makeup purse ngan free make over. Harga dia RM*** je tau. Rugi kalau tak amek'. (The price can't be disclosed due tu nanti org ckp belagak pulak. hehe)

I pandang encik tunang dengan muka sedeh coz its out of our budget. Dia pandang balik 'Beli jela..good deal tu, try byk perfume pun asek nak jadore jee. Beli jelaaa' hihihihihi.. u dunno how my face lighted up. Sangat berseri-seri u know~~.. J'adore j'adore! ;b

Anyway for him lak, we bought Paco Rabanne 1 Million. Its one of the top seller perfume. Byk counter perfume we went xde stock for the 100ml. There's only the 50ml bottle. Luckily Jusco baru amek stock baru, ape lagi sambar la satu! hehehehe..the smell is sweetly sexy. Luv it on him! And the bottle sungguh lawa, sgt sesuai as hantaran. Nampak sungguh mahal.....tapi mmg boleh tahan jugak laa harganye ;)
