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.

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 ;)

Hantaran Deco

As usual my weekend surf material would be on weddings..weddings..and more weddings! hehehehehe ;b

Found this on laceandbeads. So sweet kan?

the complete hantaran set here

Their hantaran designs are always so beautiful. Initially have discussed with mama dearie to have fresh roses as the hantaran deco. But colour have yet confirm..yaaaa i know until now i have neither decided a hantaran theme nor a wedding theme! lil sis n my mum dah bising! huhuhuhu

Anyway after seeing this, rasa macam ishh lawa la pulak the carnations! Its beautiful, cheaper, last longer and sooo different from the typical hantaran deco we all see. Yela asek2 roses, carnation pun lawa apaaa.. hmm will forward this to mama dearie and see wats her opinion.

Oh yaaa..we've already start buying the stuffs already! hehehhe..2 weekend dah pegi 4 shopping complex; The garden, Midvalley, One Utama & Parkson at The Mall. Gals noted dat it is sales now! Mari pegi shopping~ hehehe

Anyway we managed to settle hantaran watches for him n me, shoes for him and cosmetic set for me. Ehemm kami tak jadi beli couple watch. Can't find a nice couple watch design laa. But we bought watches from the same brand. Jadi la kan..ada gak connectivity atau kesamaan kat situ. hehehe..apa2 pun rasa sungguh productive this 2 weekend! Dan suka suka suka saya berpuas hati dengan pembelian kami! ;)

I am so blessed...

Oh one thing buat I suprised and amazed is his patientness. He didn't get mad or frustrated at all..i mean at all!! Ohh lagi bertambah sayang daku padanya...ehehhehehehe jiwangs lak aku! ;b

5 days to go??!

Went to kajang yesterday(Sunday) to finalize the detail for my 'mini pelamin'. Huh dah macam bukan mini jek..tinggi 8 kaki wehhh..pendek2 sgt..its either 5 feet or 8 feet, and i am 5 feet 4'! Nanti kalau berdiri dah kepala lepas the 'mini pelamin'..tanak laa..hehe. Also got the accesories for the head, org panggil spider and also the veil..yeyy tak payah beli. Save some money! :)

Also confirmed with her dat they will come to the house to set up the 'mini pelamin' on friday nite and for makeup, the 'mak andam' will be coming at 10am on saturday. Ishh org tak panggil mak andam dah skarang ni..now they are called makeup artist! Not because they have makeup any artist/celebs before. They are called makeup artist as in artistry where a lot of blending and shading of colours..will go into details in next post.

On the hantaran part, i've bought something really cheap at the kedai RM1.99 in kajang. Am going to use 2 to put jellies (made by mama dearie) (*updated 27052009 - sudah tak jadi guna utk jelly..sila baca cerita di bawah) and the 3rd one as a base for the ring holder.. yes i bought 3 of these:

kedai Rm1.99 blakang metropoint in kajang, assorted colours and shape!

Only RM 1.99 per piece, sebesar tapak tangan! Lawa tapi sgt murahh kan?? ohh kami mmg cheapskate! hehehehe..

Anyway my uncle and auntie came by utk hantar carpets for this saturday. Banyak gak borrow from them. They offered ohh untung betol ada sdara mara yg caring dan tak lokek membantu! They even going to sponsor for the chocolate hantaran! alhamdulillah.....

Heres the final update on hantaran:

1. Cincin tunang for him (bought at bausch k. and engraved with our initial, next time cincin kawin nk letak name penuh la..bleh tak? hehe)
2. Kain nikah (bought at one of the shop in semua house, refer entry ini)
3. Buah-buahan (sponsor by mak ngah and pak ngah *updated 27052009- Silap this is sponsor by mama dearie osso..)
4. Cupcake (sponsor by lil sister)
5. Cake (sponsor by tok su)
6. Chocolate (sponsor by tok ndak * updated 07062009 - bought by mama dearie dekat kilang beryl's which is so near to our house, my uncle tak jadi kasi coklat plakk)
7. Halwa maskat (sponsor by my grandma, tok)
8. Pulut kuning and rendang (made by mama dearie and tok )
9. Jelly in assorted flavour and colours (sponsor and made by mama dearie * updated 27052009 - Hantaran no 9 using jelly tak jadi. When i asked mama wat she wants to replace she said ada laa.. I tanye..back to our plan dat is biscuits/cookies ke? She said not sure..now i pening pale. Sbb pening maka malas nk pk dah..the last hantaran asek betukar2..apa nak letak letak jelaaaa..janji ada no 9! hoho *updated 07062009 - my uncle tok ndak bought a very special kurma from here! hohoho)

Additional: Would be the tepak sireh..its the Perak's adat as a pembuka bicara. Perlu ada kata mama, sbb kita keturunan dari sana. Walaupun my IC is 14..iya saya dilahirkan di Kuala Lumpur. Emm..follow jela kannn.......org ckp bukan kita yg kawin, famili kita yg kawin skalik. heh. Maka ikot jela senang. This one plak borrowed from my couz, rezal. Terima kasih encik tijai!

Kesimpulannya byk benda yg disponsor dan diborrow kan?? Alhamdulillah~~~ :)

Door Gift & Hantaran Cupcake Part 3

2 things done today..reconfirm on order for the door gift and the hantaran cupcake. Suka nya hati saya kedua-duanya dah settle! ;)

We ordered quite a big amount of mini muffin or is it cupcake?? Ntah la I am confuse which is which..i think there are mini cupcakes but the girl i contacted keep on saying 'akak nak muffin tu bile?' 'akak kalau sy tambah sket utk cost transportation muffin tu bleh tak?' 'akak, tak payah la bayar deposit utk muffin tu, xpe nanti time makcik akak collect muffin2 tu baru bayar eh'....

Em..tak pe la i ikot saja si penjual nye defination..heh.. Anyway we ordered the mini muffin all the way from Penang, or should i say Kedah? The very sweet girl i contacted is a student in USM Penang and she is doing the dealing/business. Her sister whos in Kedah is doing the baking. We've bought their mini muffin once during my sis's convo in USM last year. Its dem cheap! Imagine 100 pieces of assorted colour and flavour mini muffins are only RM13!! Cheap aite?? Tu pun the girl said I'm the last customer she's charging RM0.13 per piece. Now its already RM0.15. hehe..Alhamdulillah lucky me.

We're going to give them in a box of 4 mini muffin to the guest on the engagement day... Oh and mummy dearest kate nanti dia nak tepek cam heart shape sugar deco atas tiap2 mini muffin tu. Xpe askar ramai, nanti cousin2 ku akan menjadi mangsa utk menepek2 dan membox kan the mini muffin! Itu la gunanya sedara mara kan?? Lagipun bantu membantukan amalan mulia..banyak pahalanya. hehehehehehe.. ;b

And on the hantaran cupcake. Yeyyy, at last i have confirmed and also made the payment! These are also gonna be in mini sizes as there are so adorably cute. I've ordered 49 pieces of mini choc cuppies with buttercream topping and they are also so cheap! Its only gonna cost me(my sis actually..heh) RM55 only! Tak sabar to pick it up nanti..hehe..

Anyway the mini cuppies are ordered from here. For the mini muffin though, sorry no site. I only have their contact no. Email me if u wish for their no.

Hantaran Cupcake Part 2

Yeyy i've found the cupcake that i want!!

Aritu my couz bought home a sample of wondermilk's cupcake..its buttercream topping with vanilla flavour cupcake. The top part was quite too sweet for me but most probably that is what u should expect with buttercream. Butt....now i think cupcake taste better with that topping laa. Rasa macam xbest pulak atas keras..buttercream sgt lembut! Hence saya tak jadi amek fondant..hehehe

Oh tapi i bukan nak amek wondermilk. Altho they are tasty and beautiful anddd they made me change my mind on the topping........im gonna order from someone else..suke sgt design2 n kaler2 dia..plus very reasonable price! Tonight will finalize with my sis and then i'll call the person up! Ohh kenapa kena tanye little sister dulu?? Sebabbb~~ dia yang nk sponsor! hehehehhe..

ok will update later....sementara tu tgk la some of the cupcakes design i've found while doing my cupcake hunt..lawa siotttt!

Hantaran Cupcake

Talking about hantaran again..haish there are a few things have yet to be done. One of it would be ordering a box of cupcakes..am still not sure to get the one with buttercream topping or the fondant. Fondant would look more beautiful coz of all the things you can design with it plus it wont get smushed (this is not even a word! but i like saying smushh..smush smush..hehe)

nway i think buttercream would taste nicer and its not all sugary as fondant, hence you wont feel dat guilty having a bite or two or three or four or five..haha lantak la..i hate counting calories!

I've found a few contacts who made beautiful n yummy cupcakes..am going to call them tomorrow, takut gak if its fully book coz my engagement tu is begining of school holiday..tau tau saje la..school holiday=kenduri!

tskk..hope they'll still accept my order....*finger cross*

Orchid

Orchids for wedding theme

Aren't they classy and elegant? I so lurve orchid hence it will be the main deco for my engagement hantaran. Mummy dearie would be the designer and i fully trust her sense of style and taste. 'mama wat cantek cantekk tauu!' ;)

Anyway we bought the orchids today in nilai 3 for a very good price. Ohh i so prefer going to nilai 3 then to kl especially jalan tar! It takes 20 to 30 minits from Serdang and theres sooo many shop to choose for, plus you can drive your car to the front of the shop! No need to walk in the hot sun, lagi2 towards the big day ni kena la jadi puteri lilin. hehehe..

Ok let shows some pictures..the alas dulang is off white-cream so the orchid would be something simillar to this. Pink purplish orchid..baru naik. lawakan?? hehe perasan lagik! ;b
