countdown to little "E"

just added my new & cute little ticker from daisypath.com, a so called countdown to my engagement hee..humble definition given by a simple startoff ceremony between his family & mine, and to only be attended by close relatives & my besties..

date? officially 14th February 2009 insyaAllah..

Yes, it's Valentine's. But to us, most importantly it's our 7th anniversary :)

It's lovey dovey date, but the not soo good thing is expensiveee flowers !! :(

I still love fresh flower for hantarans, and in fact i already got the quotation from some.

Price wise ok, as they said they usually order the flowers much much earlier. Solved, a bit lah kut.

As the rest, i'll lookout for artificials and more...DIY?

DIY i could think of right now is the room - new (on sale) bedsheet + tulips/gerberas mix in white vase with ribbons + plain sheer curtain + peachy-pink petals on bed. simple and a total saving of rm300 ok.hihi.

Nine West or Hush Puppies?

another tips for hantaran gift-hunting : WAREHOUSE SALE.

dotty & myself went to Metrojaya Warehouse Sale in Midvalley - mainly to look out for great bargain on dotty's perfume set (since i have another 2 free dulang slots haha). for men, the choice not that overwhelming, so we decided to go for bathset as cheaper option :P i just managed to get 75ml Esprit for rm96..quite cheap for that "ml" i guess?

ok this was actually the headline..........Nine West, Hush Puppies now going 70% !!
How can get you get out without buying one?? But hey, i got both hihiii.....all came with glittery diamonds..Believe it or not, the total not exceeding rm150 *big grin*

So i'm asking - are you tempted now??

Black or ginger strappies. Yang mana satu akan dinobatkan sebagai ratu dulang hantaran haha..

Btw, dotty still got nothing for hantaran kuang3.

moral of the story : sales, shopping & women are undefined relationship. if the girl said they're checkin out some bargain for her boyfie, expect to see her ends up with HER stuffs more than yours.

sounds familiar, readers? you judge ;)

pink affair

"shafaf & the whole pink affair"

my faraway bestie, shafaf has kirim for wedding lacey during my last trip to jakarta. since it was a very very short trip, i couldnt spend much time to look for beatiful lace (sorry dear!) as i was busy searching kebaya for business. but i damn admit, those laces in jakarta were so damn cheappp..but most of the time not to my liking?!

shafaf's earlier request was -- it must be purple, and lace. and nak manik2 jugak kalau boleh huhu.tanak mahal2 cos it just for engagement...ok ok, i'll work with your budget dear :)

i have my rule of thumb in choosing kain, especially when it comes to your very very own special event in life.

i dont really like lace, except for wedding reception.i'm more on heavy beaded chiffon for engagement. so let me list my humble rule .....

1st rule : beautiful lace is never easy to spot, especially if they're in gulung2 tu...you need to open it, match as many possible with your satin linings before you could finally say YES. sometimes, if you're not choosy enough, you might end up with "hooker" lace (design & material a bit rough)

2nd rule : play extra careful in choosing your purple. purple can easily look cheapo, except royal purple. it's best to go for pink-purple, to bring up the sweet & romantic idea hihi

next day, me & maa went to Maya Silk in Semua House & spotted this lovely lace which i thot would suit my shafaf. she still insist on purple rather than pink. i took the purple lace, but still maintain the pink satin to ensure the purple flower bold enuff..i took few pix of 3 combinations, just in case she changed her mind hehe..

as expected, she admit the pink lace with pink satin is the best & decided for change..yeay!!

so to shafaf, i've tried my best to work with your budget & hope you like this pinkish lacey as much as we doo.....wishing you the best for your engagement and..........lets get bz for your big day!!

dotty's new ring

Guess what, that Habib ring was finally his! We both went to klcc, purposely for his engagement-ring-hunting & he was sooo into that Habib's. So funny to find out that dotty wears diff size for right & left fingers...size 15 and 17..man that's huge gap haha..nyaris2 kene tempah bcos we cant find 15.5 or 16...last2 he ended up with size 15 as his left finger is much2 smaller hee...

dotty sangatlah happy & singing all the way back from klcc ok?

we went to Maya Silk to exchange shafaf's lacey to pink..kan dah ckp pink nye lagi schweeett..
next we serbu Jakel, to look for kain pasang as hantaran since we dont want to give any kain akad nikah for each other..

my eyes stumble on this italian chiffon silk..very soft, & the color+design was soo datin.grab it for hantaran, color kuning yg very meriah itu - which dotty liked it so much!

dotty also got his kemeja batik for hantaran here...color orange, mencapap betul hahaha...whatever lah, jangan tak pakai sudahlah...
