hantaran - updated

talked to dotty last night. we somehow agreed that our hantaran will look kinda crowded if we still want to make it 5 & 7 dulangs. we mutually decided to change it to 7 berbalas 9 dulang.

...and here's the (updated) list

from him :

- tepak sirih
- ring + potpourri
- kain pasang
- telekung
- heels
- bathset
- fruits/chocs

from me :

- sirih junjung
- ring
- kemeja batik
- sejadah + kain pelikat
- cufflinks + potpourri
- bathset
- cupcakes
- chocs
- fruits

the left one were just sejadah & kain pelikat, phew.............

2nd make up testing

my 2nd makeup testing @ 10.30am

this crazy bridezilla was having another makeup testing before heading to her bestie's engagement.
this time it was done by a nyah - Baby from 2nd bridal house. the session was done at his studio, very funny to see the lampu kalimantang used with half of it covered dgn kertas fluorescent color gold which according to him - help him alot in ensuring his make up turned out FABULOUS - hihihihi.

he told me that he previously worked in Butik Jedan (PKNS) before deciding to open his own. he even quoted that wife of this well-known VIP was her loyal client. his main is makeup, but for any tempahan for dress etc, he'll seek for some tailors in Jedan to do it. patutla dress2 dier banyak beads hehe.

the session finished in just an hour, with most of the time being allocated for the eyes. no smokey eyes, but still dramatic! very true, the makeup mmg very light but i didnt quite like the color applied as my base - a bit fair, as compared to my dark skin. commented to him, he was ok and we agreed for our next makeup testing to be in January..crazy betulla ini bridezilla..tunang jeeee oi.

next, alhamdulillah - my bestie's engagement went well. she got engaged to my ex, whose i didnt really consider an ex due to we were just 11 that time - so it did sound to me more of puppy puppy pupppppy love yikes! best betul my bestie, hantaran sponsorred by her abangs and kakaks and DIY lagi. rezeki anak bongsu, sooo tak aci hehe.

bridal house hunting

here i am, lying down with head spinning to blog what ive been through these 2 (tiring) days. oh btw, im now in my little hometown - penang :)

been promising myself that for this back-home trip, i really need to look out & choose bridal house for my coming engagement. to be frank, one day is soo not sufficient for myself to do this but what choice that i do really really have? anyway, thanks for my streamyx - save my effort quite lots. some bridal houses managed to be located & contacted for appoinment. just to share here, what i got from the appoinment & walk-in wedding survey, huh. i supposed to have my makeup testing by 2pm, so the idle time before being used to walk-in to those shops in kepala batas. 3 shops.

1st bridal
big bridal house, lots of bajus but i didnt quite like it mainly due to their shocking colors. from their album, they kinda specialized in gerbera-daisy deco but the service was damn expensive. the boss wasnt around, so the assistant keep giving the unsure look & "need to check with my boss 1st" reply and tu x campo lagi assistant tu start quoting ridiculous price...i'm so fed-up, urgh.

2nd bridal
very close to my place. the staffs are very friendly & the cheapest so far :) for mini pelamin, i can get about rm200 & makeup rm80-100. i saje2 showed the fresh flower hantaran samples from Man Kajang in mag & they quot me for like - rm550 for 9 dulangs. i considered it damn cheap cos the flowers are all around the dulangs, and to fall on Valentine's even!. they even offered me stairs deco for FOC. great.

3rd bridal
next door to 2nd's and owned 4 nyahs. the shop was very busy with bride running around for makeup & dressing up. interior kedai pun lawa, very tropical & dim light just making all the beads on the bride's dress look very stunning, illusi optik haha. they're too busy to entertain me, so i just made appoinment to return by 5pm. to cut it short, the appoinment turned out very well to me. the mini pelamin was a bit expensive than 2nd's but their passion in giving out their ideas just impressed me & i felt so appreciated :) we set appoinment for my makeup testing the next day yippie!! ..(will blog in next entry k)

reached home by 2pm for makeup testing with Miss J*****. Miss J was a bit late to my house, and the session took about 2 hrs. gosh! im gonna be late for my next appoinment with the 4th boutique! Ms J expected my to proceed with my appoinment with her makeup, and in fact offered to show me the way to that boutique. but, i was FREAKED OUT to see the makeup - tebal sangat. last2 i terpakse buat excuse to wait for my sis to let Ms J balik dulu rather than nak i ikut dier..padehal i nak sental my face dulu....waa. for Ms J, sorry - the smokey eyes, soft pink lippies were all fine for me but foundation/bedak tu quite thick ..but honestly, i love your personality - very friendly & funny. client surely tak awkward bile borak2 ngan dier :)


ok, next - the 4th bridal!
most popular one in penang, having like 5 branches and experienced in handling VIPs & celebrities wedding, including Datin Norjuma. the boss is nice, she came all the way from pulau to meet me yg ntah nak amik ke tak service dier hokey. for me theirs are quite pricey, cos for such price i can get even better delivery if in kl. in fact, they didnt even have fancy dulang/tray like in kl, haiya. for mini pelamin specified like above, they wanted like nearly 600. if u're kl based, i didnt mind such rate, but since you're not i chose to say it is expensive esp for an engagement ceremony. but still, i didnt blame them for putting such prices, they already 'built' their name here.

that's about it. tiring & still indecisive.

Nine West


Psssss...NINE WEST is having their BIG sale now. Promo only in Avenue K and will last until 14Dec.

Managed to grab a pair for my engagement wih below rm100 tag, iye this bridezilla was sooo happy ...
The not so good thing was, i'm not that sure the color fits my baju or not, or even the engagement event itself haha..tulah, sape suruh murah kan?

If it doesnt fit, it's ok -Vincci will always be the saviour! kehkeh.

Did you notice, everything comes with the word "mini" always being
perceived as something cute, and cool?
